grillight.com website review

About 1.7 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.8 s faster on a phone.

YouTube costs a phone 1.0 s of main-thread work and 2.1 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 33. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

A phone's processor spends 6.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.2 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 Hotjar and others), adding 3.6 MB and 2.3 s of main-thread time.

About 174 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 466 ms of main-thread work and 620 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.

8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.

Hotjar costs a phone 361 ms of main-thread work and 232 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.

24 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (186 KiB).

18 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 222 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

Polyfills for old browsers add 36 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

6 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

5 images could be 50 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 100 ms faster on a phone.

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.

3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Your largest element takes 22.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

The page becomes fully interactive after 34.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

The first text or image appears after 7.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 12.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 1.1 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

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

Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

Your homepage downloads 5.6 MB in 332 requests on a phone: scripts 3.5 MB (97), other files 1.1 MB (188) and images 347 KiB (20). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

home_page_mobile_final_2022_540x540_crop_center.png is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).

1 image (46 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.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.59 g of CO₂e: 190.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 43 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.

Headings skip levels (h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).

Structured data found (Organization, Product and WebSite) but with 2 problems, for example “Product: missing name”.

Your <h1> is empty.

The homepage links to 36 pages on grillight.com and 17 external pages.

Your homepage links to /pages/wishlist and /pages/dealer-locator-map, which answer with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop them.

/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.

/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

/collections/all, /customer_authentication/redirect and /policies/terms-of-service have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

/customer_authentication/redirect has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

We fetched 14 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

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

3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()”.

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

2 links from your homepage to your own site are broken, for example https://grillight.com/pages/wishlist (404).

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

1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://grillight.com/customer_authentication/redirect?locale=en&region_country=US.

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.

grillight.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.

grillight.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.

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

There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

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 896 words of visible text.

DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be grillight.com is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.

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, Hotjar and Klaviyo and 3 mores (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 18 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 47 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
