jamesbrodski.com website review

1 image could be 1.1 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 5.7 s faster on a phone.

Your mobile performance score is 62. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

10 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (117 KiB).

The page has 1,926 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

2 third-party services load with your homepage (Stripe and Shopify), adding 29 KiB and 53 ms of main-thread time.

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

Your largest element takes 13.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image. Most of its time is resource load duration (9.5 s).

The page becomes fully interactive after 13.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 7.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

The first text or image appears after 3.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

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 2.8 MB in 171 requests on a phone: images 1.2 MB (2), other files 789 KiB (101) and scripts 603 KiB (29). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

1 image (265 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 0.78 g of CO₂e: 93.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.

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

Your title is only 18 characters: “Brodski Consulting”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.

Your <h1> is empty.

The homepage links to 5 pages on jamesbrodski.com and 1 external page.

https://jamesbrodski.com/collections/all has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

We fetched 1 page linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

2 of 8 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

1 third-party cookie is set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_TUNNEL_CONNECTION_FAILED”.

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

No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

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

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

The homepage has only about 64 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

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

Opening the homepage sets 6 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 8 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
