hobby-tips.com website review

3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 600 ms.

Shopify costs a phone 177 ms of main-thread work and 700 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.

The page has 2,361 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

9 images could be 161 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 250 ms faster on a phone.

7 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, shop.app and StatCounter and others), adding 871 KiB and 220 ms of main-thread time.

About 80 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.

About 33 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.

8 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (51 KiB).

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 3.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Swab-its foam swabs”.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.5 s to 1.4 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 2.7 MB in 465 requests on a phone: other files 1.4 MB (265), scripts 755 KiB (160) and images 337 KiB (18). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.77 g of CO₂e: 93.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 10 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.

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

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

ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 8 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

Your title is 69 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Swab-its® Foam Swabs | Made in USA Lint-Free Precision Cleaning Swabs”.

There are 2 <h1> headlines (“Swab-its” and “Precision Foam Swabs. Made in the USA.”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

Your meta description is 306 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

The homepage links to 196 pages on hobby-tips.com and 21 external pages.

Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, sameAs (social profiles) and description. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

/collections/industrial-foam-swabs-by-swab-its, /collections/new-swab-its-sterile-foam-tipped-applicators, /collections/printer-cleaning-swabs, /collections/automotive-cleaning-and-detailing-swabs-by-swab-its, /collections/aviation-and-aerospace-cleaning-swabs-by-swab-its and /collections/foam-cleaning-swabs have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 103 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

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://facebook.com/superbrushllc.

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.

swab-its.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.

swab-its.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.

On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

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: 1 trust badge. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

The homepage has only about 48 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

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

Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.

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.

hobby-tips.com has no DMARC record, so nothing tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF or DKIM. Gmail and Yahoo require DMARC from bulk senders.

hobby-tips.com has no SPF record, so mail servers can't tell which servers may send email as you. Your mail lands in spam more often, and anyone can send mail pretending to be you.

We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.

hobby-tips.com has no MX record, so it receives no email. SPF -all and DMARC reject still matter: they stop others sending mail as you.

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 Tag Manager and Meta Pixel (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, 6 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 11 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
