metisgrace.com website review

8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.

A phone's processor spends 5.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

The page has 4,725 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, automizely.com and Shopify and others), adding 2.9 MB and 972 ms of main-thread time.

About 1.0 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

Your mobile performance score is 63. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

6 images could be 409 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

Google CDN costs a phone 343 ms of main-thread work and 1.0 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.

About 101 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

Shopify costs a phone 228 ms of main-thread work and 999 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.

automizely.com costs a phone 237 ms of main-thread work and 520 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.

13 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (118 KiB).

10 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 110 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

Polyfills for old browsers add 16 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

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.

The page becomes fully interactive after 28.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 12.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Your largest element takes 5.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 276 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

10 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

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 6.0 MB in 371 requests on a phone: scripts 2.6 MB (149), other files 1.4 MB (127) and images 1.4 MB (40). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

1 image (34 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 1.70 g of CO₂e: 204.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

5 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

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

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

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

Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

6 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 14 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

5 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

Headings skip levels (h1 → h3 and h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

Your meta description is 199 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

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

The homepage links to 216 pages on metisgrace.com and 15 external pages.

https://metisgrace.com/pages/store-locator declares the homepage as its canonical URL, which tells Google it is a copy of the homepage and keeps it out of search results. A site-wide template setting usually causes this.

/ and https://metisgrace.com/pages/store-locator all use the title “Personalized Gifts Handmade from Your Photo | Metis Grace”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

https://metisgrace.com/products/custom-watercolor-portrait-square and https://metisgrace.com/products/custom-watercolor-portrait-vertical-rectangle have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

https://metisgrace.com/products/custom-watercolor-portrait-vertical-rectangle has under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 79 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

2 images failed to load on a phone, for example https://metisgrace.com/.

22 of 59 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “gtag is not defined”.

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 1,767 words of visible text.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel and TikTok 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 18 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (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 32 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
