emeraldpointe.com website review

About 1.9 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.6 s faster on a phone.

47 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.6 s.

9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (265 KiB).

YouTube costs a phone 1.2 s of main-thread work and 2.0 MB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

Your mobile performance score is 28. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

A phone's processor spends 7.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (YouTube, Google Tag Manager and Google CDN and others), adding 3.8 MB and 3.0 s of main-thread time.

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 768 ms of main-thread work and 674 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.

Google CDN costs a phone 499 ms of main-thread work and 742 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.

3 images could be 104 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

Facebook costs a phone 268 ms of main-thread work and 279 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.

20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 278 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

About 145 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

Polyfills for old browsers add 23 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 100 ms faster on a phone.

Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

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.

Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.28 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

Your largest element takes 18.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “WET 'N WILD EMERALD POINTE Thank You For Making It A Summer…”.

The page becomes fully interactive after 35.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 13.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

The first text or image appears after 6.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 2.0 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 102 ms to 126 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.4 s to 1.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 7.7 MB in 177 requests on a phone: scripts 3.8 MB (53), images 2.8 MB (35) and other files 374 KiB (26). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example Wet-n-Wild-Emerald-Pointe-Logo-1-768x458.png at 390 px wide, shown at 94 px. Resized copies would save about 24 KiB.

1 image (129 KiB) is 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.

2 images further down the page (63 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.17 g of CO₂e: 260.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

20 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

4 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

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

5 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

There are 2 <h1> headlines (“Wet 'n Wild Emerald Pointe” and “Wet 'n Wild Emerald Pointe”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

The homepage links to 97 pages on emeraldpointe.com and 24 external pages.

There is no /llms.txt, a short Markdown guide to your key pages for AI tools (llmstxt.org). It is optional and few AI tools read it yet, so treat it as a cheap extra.

/season-passes/mobile-pass, /vacation-packages and /park-location-and-directions have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 29 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=343220015&tm=gtm002&Ver=2&mid=da95638b-0b9a-4821-b3f9-63119bfb3ac6&bo=1&sid=75f87580d81511f1b931219deb97f824&vid=75f886d0d81511f1809eed9f48419c78&vids=1&msclkid=N&pi=9.

6 of 17 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

5 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

No Strict-Transport-Security header, so browsers may still try plain http first on a return visit.

No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

Neither X-Frame-Options nor a CSP frame-ancestors policy is set, so any site can embed yours in a frame.

X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.

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.

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

emeraldpointe.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.

emeraldpointe.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.

Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.

Social proof on the homepage: 26 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

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 923 words of visible text.

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 10 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (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 29 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
