letsmakeart.com website review

Your mobile performance score is 67. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

4 images could be 673 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

About 55 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

The page has 2,129 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

Klaviyo costs a phone 121 ms of main-thread work and 318 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 19 ms of main-thread work and 411 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.

6 third-party services load with your homepage (Klaviyo, Shopify and Cloudflare and others), adding 904 KiB and 155 ms of main-thread time.

7 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (13 KiB).

5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 150 ms.

1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 125 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

Polyfills for old browsers add 29 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 50 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.

Your largest element takes 11.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “It's Fall Y'all”.

The page becomes fully interactive after 11.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 5.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

The first text or image appears after 2.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 90 ms to 96 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 2.8 MB in 178 requests on a phone: images 1.3 MB (7), other files 682 KiB (72) and scripts 497 KiB (71). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

3F41F8C4-A547-41DE-B0E0-47F091FD7CAF.jpg 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).

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.80 g of CO₂e: 95.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

There are 2 <h1> headlines (“” and “It's just a piece of paper.”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

The homepage links to 58 pages on letsmakeart.com and 9 external pages.

robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended and CCBot, which collect pages to train models. That's a legitimate choice and doesn't by itself stop the site appearing in AI answers, which the crawlers above handle.

/myvideos and /blogs/artchive are marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If they are meant to be found, remove the noindex.

/myvideos, /collections/home-for-the-holidays-card-making, /collections/good-morning-journaling-courses, /collections/art-supplies, /pages/digital-evergreen-products and /collections/workbooks and 6 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

/myvideos, /collections/home-for-the-holidays-card-making, /collections/art-supplies, /collections/workbooks and /blogs/artchive have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

/products/november-2026-digital-pack, /collections/home-for-the-holidays-card-making and /collections/good-morning-journaling-courses took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 19 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “SecurityError: Failed to read a named property 'document' from 'Window': Blocked a frame with origin "null" from access…”.

1 link from your homepage to your own site is broken, for example https://www.letsmakeart.com/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection (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://www.letsmakeart.com/pages/outline-library-login.

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.

letsmakeart.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.

letsmakeart.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.

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

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 323 words of visible text.

DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be letsmakeart.com is still delivered. Add a report address, check the reports, then move to quarantine.

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, Klaviyo 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 13 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 18 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
