mfjerky.com website review

About 622 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.8 s faster on a phone.

10 images could be 298 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.4 s faster on a phone.

10 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.

Your mobile performance score is 48. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Bold Commerce, Judge.me and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 1.1 MB and 1.2 s of main-thread time.

28 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (267 KiB).

Bold Commerce costs a phone 387 ms of main-thread work and 348 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.

A phone's processor spends 3.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 262 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

Shopify costs a phone 86 ms of main-thread work and 467 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.

Polyfills for old browsers add 15 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

13 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

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 19.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “What We're All About Moses Family Jerky was started in 2013…”.

The page becomes fully interactive after 19.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 8.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

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

The first text or image appears after 2.7 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 474 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

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 4.9 MB in 250 requests on a phone: images 2.7 MB (53), scripts 1.2 MB (72) and other files 818 KiB (108). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example MFJ_Logo_Emblem_15fe71dd-6923-4a5a-9d14-4059be08ccd2_530x@2x at 1,060 px wide, shown at 346 px. Resized copies would save about 4 KiB.

4 images further down the page (286 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.39 g of CO₂e: 166.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Certain ARIA roles must be contained by particular parents: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.

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

Interactive controls must not be nested: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

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

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

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

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

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

There are 5 <h1> headlines (“”, “Snack Stick Sample Pack” and “Moses Family Beef Jerky, Sample Pack, 2.5 Ounce (…”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

The homepage links to 51 pages on mfjerky.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.

https://mfjerky.com/collections/meat-snacks and https://mfjerky.com/collections/homemade-jerky-meat-snacks all use the title “Meat Snacks from Moses Family Jerky”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

https://mfjerky.com/collections/old-grumpy-marks and https://mfjerky.com/collections/uglie-acres-jam have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

https://mfjerky.com/collections/meat-snacks and https://mfjerky.com/collections/homemade-jerky-meat-snacks use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example https://mfjerky.com/collections/meat-snacks, whose canonical is https://mfjerky.com/collections/homemade-jerky-meat-snacks. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

https://mfjerky.com/collections/old-grumpy-marks, https://mfjerky.com/collections/single-ingredient-dog-treats, https://mfjerky.com/collections/uglie-acres-jam, https://mfjerky.com/pages/contact-us and https://mfjerky.com/pages/wholesale have 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 21 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'global_config')”.

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 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 1,423 words of visible text.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager 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 12 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 35 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
