miekimstudio.com website review

About 889 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.4 s faster on a phone.

10 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (227 KiB).

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Vimeo, Shopify and pop-convert.com and others), adding 5.6 MB and 811 ms of main-thread time.

Your mobile performance score is 56. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

Vimeo costs a phone 247 ms of main-thread work and 4.6 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 40 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 520 ms faster on a phone.

A phone's processor spends 3.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

Polyfills for old browsers add 20 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

1 image could be 18 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 300 ms.

Shopify costs a phone 234 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.

10 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 154 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

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

Your largest element takes 14.2 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 15.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 6.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

The first text or image appears after 3.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 312 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

1 image 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 7.0 MB in 287 requests on a phone: other files 5.1 MB (226), scripts 1.6 MB (46) and images 124 KiB (5). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.99 g of CO₂e: 239.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

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

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

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

Your meta description is 162 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

The homepage links to 30 pages on miekimstudio.com and 5 external pages.

https://miekimstudio.com/pages/works, https://miekimstudio.com/collections/kids-classes, https://miekimstudio.com/collections/private-classes, https://miekimstudio.com/blogs/news and https://miekimstudio.com/blogs/press/elle-decoration-quebec have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

https://miekimstudio.com/products/giftcard has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

https://miekimstudio.com/pages/works, https://miekimstudio.com/collections/kids-classes, https://miekimstudio.com/pages/contact, https://miekimstudio.com/blogs/press/elle-decoration-quebec and https://miekimstudio.com/blogs/press/elle-decoration-canada-2021-mie-kim 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 14 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://miekimstudio.com/.

3 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).

1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Uncaught TypeError: jQuery.ajax is not a function”.

Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

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 testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

Your homepage shows a map but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.

A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.

The homepage has only about 209 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.

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 14 cookies, 3 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 23 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
