monstersteel.com website review

Your mobile performance score is 65. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Evidon, Klaviyo and Clarity and others), adding 919 KiB and 787 ms of main-thread time.

9 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 650 ms.

About 460 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 601 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

Evidon costs a phone 530 ms of main-thread work and 72 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.

The page has 2,707 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

A phone's processor spends 2.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

Klaviyo costs a phone 93 ms of main-thread work and 311 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.

Shopify costs a phone 40 ms of main-thread work and 343 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 (51 KiB).

Polyfills for old browsers add 47 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

3 images could be 21 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

About 10 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

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 13.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 581 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

The layout shifts by 0.21 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

Your largest element takes 3.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Cartridge Needles for stable and consistent tattooing”.

Visually, the page fills in at 4.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 125 ms to 114 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.3 s to 1.3 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

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 2.4 MB in 256 requests on a phone: scripts 1.2 MB (100), other files 650 KiB (81) and images 287 KiB (26). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.67 g of CO₂e: 80.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

Images must have alternative text: 1 element on the page fails 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.

1 element has a tabindex above 0, which scrambles the keyboard order.

13 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.

No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

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

Your <h1> is empty.

The homepage links to 361 pages on monstersteel.com and 10 external pages.

https://www.monstersteel.com/policies/shipping-policy and https://www.monstersteel.com/pages/shipping-fees all use the title “Shipping policy – Monster Steel”, and 3 other titles repeat too. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

https://www.monstersteel.com/collections/all, https://www.monstersteel.com/policies/shipping-policy, https://www.monstersteel.com/collections/tattoo-supplies-tattoo-needles-peak-needle-cartridges, https://www.monstersteel.com/collections/tattoo-supplies-tattoo-needles-cheyenne-cartridges, https://www.monstersteel.com/collections/tattoo-supplies-tattoo-needles-ruthless-disposable-tattoo-needle-boxes and https://www.monstersteel.com/collections/tattoo-supplies-tattoo-needles-envy-standard and 8 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 169 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

9 of 38 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Synchronous `XMLHttpRequest` on the main thread is deprecated because of its detrimental effects to…”).

2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Shopify's Google Analytics stub called with: [array Array] See https://help.shopify.com/manual/promoting-marketing/pixe…”.

1 image is served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.

Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Content security policy”).

No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust 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 1,057 words of visible text.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Microsoft Clarity (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 15 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 24 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
