notescandle.com website review

About 265 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.4 s faster on a phone.

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

1 image could be 118 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Clarity and northbeam.io and others), adding 661 KiB and 527 ms of main-thread time.

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 337 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.

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

4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 218 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

About 14 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

4 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (15 KiB).

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 9.5 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 9.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 322 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

The first text or image appears after 2.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

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.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.56 g of CO₂e: 66.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.

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

Your title is only 13 characters: “NOTES Candles”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

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

The homepage links to only 1 page on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.

No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.

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://notescandle.com/collections/candle-refill-kits has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

https://notescandle.com/collections/candle-refill-kits 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 1 page linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()”.

On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.

No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

The homepage has only about 77 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

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