melt-to-make.com website review

About 1.1 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 6.0 s faster on a phone.

3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.5 s.

21 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (461 KiB).

Your mobile performance score is 41. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

A phone's processor spends 4.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, amaicdn.com and hsappstatic.net and others), adding 2.4 MB and 1.5 s of main-thread time.

Google CDN costs a phone 639 ms of main-thread work and 1.1 MB 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.

Polyfills for old browsers add 84 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

amaicdn.com costs a phone 261 ms of main-thread work and 420 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.

17 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 240 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

About 38 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

1 image could be 13 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

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

The first text or image appears after 11.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Your largest element takes 11.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “WELCOME TO MELT-TO-MAKE®”.

The page becomes fully interactive after 23.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 11.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 600 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 86 ms to 79 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 4.3 MB in 203 requests on a phone: scripts 2.7 MB (86), other files 1.1 MB (77) and images 186 KiB (13). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

Melt-to-Melt_HPBanner_550x.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 1.21 g of CO₂e: 145.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

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

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

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 23 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.

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

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

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

Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (3 elements).

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

No Open Graph image (also missing: og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

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

The homepage links to 126 pages on melt-to-make.com and 18 external pages.

Your homepage links to 10 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example https://melt-to-make.com/pages/shop-melt-to-make%E2%84%A2-all-natural-gummy-bases, whose canonical is https://melt-to-make.com/pages/shop-melt-to-make%e2%84%a2-all-natural-gummy-bases. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

https://melt-to-make.com/pages/melt-to-make-team, https://melt-to-make.com/pages/gummy-industry-news, https://melt-to-make.com/pages/shop-melt-to-make%E2%84%A2-all-natural-gummy-bases, https://melt-to-make.com/collections/melt-to-make%E2%84%A2-all-natural-gelatin-gummy-base, https://melt-to-make.com/pages/shop-gummy-base-gelatin-pectin-blend and https://melt-to-make.com/collections/melt-to-make%E2%84%A2-all-natural-pectin-gummy-base and 5 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 49 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

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

3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Cannot set properties of null (setting 'variant_info')”.

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.

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.

The homepage carries about 367 words of visible text.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, HubSpot and Klaviyo (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (HubSpot cookie banner) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

Opening the homepage sets 22 cookies, 7 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

Loading the homepage contacts 36 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
