letterfest.com website review

12 images could be 819 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.8 s faster on a phone.

About 287 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.9 s faster on a phone.

20 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (183 KiB).

Your mobile performance score is 57. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (posthog.com, Klaviyo and Shopify and others), adding 723 KiB and 502 ms of main-thread time.

About 50 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 440 ms faster on a phone.

9 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 350 ms.

17 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

A phone's processor spends 2.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 871 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

The page has 1,772 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

Polyfills for old browsers add 28 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 100 ms faster on a phone.

8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 96 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

8 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

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 17.8 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 18.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

The first text or image appears after 5.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 7.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 101 ms to 111 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 1.8 s to 1.7 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 3.7 MB in 238 requests on a phone: images 1.6 MB (36), scripts 966 KiB (86) and other files 768 KiB (94). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.06 g of CO₂e: 126.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

ARIA input fields must have an accessible name: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

Interactive controls must not be nested: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

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

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 17 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

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

1 element hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.

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

Headings skip levels (h3 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (6 elements).

There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

Your meta description is 301 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

The homepage links to 153 pages on letterfest.com and 5 external pages.

There is no Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants have no machine-readable facts about who runs the site: its name, logo, profiles and contact details.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 91 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Cannot read properties of null (reading 'addEventListener')”.

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

4 links go through two or more redirects, for example https://letterfest.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.

letterfest.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.

letterfest.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.

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 629 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, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel and 2 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 23 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 41 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
