emblibrary.com website review

17 images could be 1.3 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.2 s faster on a phone.

A phone's processor spends 4.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.9 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

The page has 3,753 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

Your mobile performance score is 69. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (JSDelivr CDN, Shopify and Clarity and others), adding 1.0 MB and 887 ms of main-thread time.

6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 850 ms.

About 448 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

JSDelivr CDN costs a phone 344 ms of main-thread work and 42 KiB of downloads while your page loads. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

Shopify costs a phone 140 ms of main-thread work and 433 KiB of downloads while your page loads. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

About 64 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 153 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

48 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

18 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (40 KiB).

Polyfills for old browsers add 32 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

6 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

Your largest element takes 7.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Light blue scalloped rectangle with dark blue border on tea…”.

The page becomes fully interactive after 12.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 120 ms to 154 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

The first text or image appears after 2.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 240 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

Visually, the page fills in at 3.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

4 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

Your homepage downloads 3.7 MB in 242 requests on a phone: images 1.6 MB (23), scripts 1.1 MB (82) and other files 767 KiB (106). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

3 images (306 KiB) are JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.05 g of CO₂e: 126.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

8 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

18 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

Headings skip levels (h2 → h5 and h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

The homepage links to 297 pages on emblibrary.com and 8 external pages.

/pages/the-study, /collections/shop-embroidery-designs, /collections/family-friends-embroidery-designs and /collections/characters-humor-designs have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

/pages/the-study has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 138 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://emblibrary.com/.

2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://cdn-bundler.nice-team.net/app/css/style.css?shop=embroidery-library-store.myshopif…”.

1 link from your homepage to your own site is broken, for example https://emblibrary.com/pages/collections-directory (500).

HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.

There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

emblibrary.com has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.

emblibrary.com's DNS answers are not signed. DNSSEC stops attackers forging them to send visitors or email elsewhere; most registrars switch it on in a click, though most sites still run without it.

Social proof on the homepage: 3 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

The homepage carries about 1,070 words of visible text.

The page uses urgency cues (a countdown or limited-time wording).

Email authentication: SPF record 25 points, plus 15 when it ends in -all (10 for ~all); DMARC record 25, plus 25 for a reject policy (15 for quarantine); a DKIM key on a common selector 10.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel and Microsoft Ads and 1 more (measured from a US location before any click). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.

Opening the homepage sets 14 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

No known cookie consent tool loads with the page. Some sites build their own banner, and some only show one to visitors from the EU.

Loading the homepage contacts 33 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
