ohiodems.org website review

118 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (6.7 MB).

About 483 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.5 s faster on a phone.

24 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.6 s.

13 images could be 775 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.8 s faster on a phone.

Your mobile performance score is 51 (desktop: 52). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (everyaction.com, Facebook and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 2.0 MB and 662 ms of main-thread time.

About 130 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

Facebook costs a phone 223 ms of main-thread work and 1.2 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.

everyaction.com costs a phone 248 ms of main-thread work and 417 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 2.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 915 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

10 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 192 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

Polyfills for old browsers add 42 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

11 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.

5 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Your largest element takes 19.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Ohio Democrats”.

The page becomes fully interactive after 19.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

The first text or image appears after 5.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 8.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 87 ms to 111 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 284 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

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

Your homepage downloads 10.3 MB in 143 requests on a phone: media 5.5 MB (4), images 3.3 MB (60) and scripts 1.1 MB (49). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

5 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example 846322108_1711138023768446_1020271741973611817_n.jpg at 1,080 px wide, shown at 287 px. Resized copies would save about 620 KiB.

11 images (1.7 MB) are 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.

8 images further down the page (1.2 MB) 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 2.93 g of CO₂e: 351.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

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

[aria-*] attributes do not have valid values (1 element).

Your title is only 16 characters: “Ohio Democrats -”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

Your meta description is only 25 characters: “Fighting for Ohio Workers”. 70 to 160 characters is enough to sell the click.

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

1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

The homepage links to 24 pages on ohiodems.org and 191 external pages.

https://ohiodems.org/news and https://ohiodems.org/map have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

https://ohiodems.org/map 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 7 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

4 images failed to load on a phone, for example https://ohiodems.org/wp-content/uploads/sb-twitter-feed-images/2112646794912129112-0-800.jpg.

22 of 43 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

2 images are displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so they look stretched or squashed.

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

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.

The homepage carries about 1,262 words of visible text.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads 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 3 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 17 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
