mdcornmaze.com website review

The page has 3,161 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

Your mobile performance score is 70. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

7 images could be 780 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

About 113 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 550 ms.

About 87 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 370 ms faster on a phone.

Shopify costs a phone 190 ms of main-thread work and 639 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.

3 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, nfcube.com and shop.app), adding 758 KiB and 211 ms of main-thread time.

3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 57 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (11 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 10.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Banner Image”.

The page becomes fully interactive after 11.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 4.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

The first text or image appears after 1.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 96 ms to 86 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 3.7 MB in 309 requests on a phone: images 1.6 MB (11), other files 1.0 MB (158) and scripts 750 KiB (121). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

website_2025_Instagram_Post_45.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).

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.05 g of CO₂e: 126.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

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

Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

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

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

Your meta description is 309 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.

No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.

The homepage links to 65 pages on mdcornmaze.com and 3 external pages.

https://mdcornmaze.com/collections/2026-party-areas, https://mdcornmaze.com/products/2026-field-trips and https://mdcornmaze.com/pages/groups have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

https://mdcornmaze.com/products/2026-fall-admission, https://mdcornmaze.com/collections/2026-party-areas, https://mdcornmaze.com/products/2026-field-trips, https://mdcornmaze.com/pages/corn-maze, https://mdcornmaze.com/pages/farm-yard-activities and https://mdcornmaze.com/pages/flashlight-nights and 8 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

https://mdcornmaze.com/pages/faq took over 3 s to send its HTML from our server.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 22 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

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 customer or partner logo. 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 89 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.

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

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (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 (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 13 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
