oriel.design website review

9 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.3 s.

4 images could be 409 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

4 third-party services load with your homepage (website-files.com, cloudfront.net and Google CDN and others), adding 1.3 MB and 232 ms of main-thread time.

About 66 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

website-files.com costs a phone 206 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.

About 27 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

6 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

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 first text or image appears after 2.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

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

Your largest element takes 2.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “I specialize in creating mobile apps and web-based services”. Most of its time is element render delay (1.4 s).

13 images 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.

63d69a23d28640a53fa3d72a_Group 1733-p-500.png is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).

2 images (94 KiB) 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.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.37 g of CO₂e: 44.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

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

<html> element must have a lang attribute: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

5 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

The <html> element has no lang attribute, so screen readers may read the page in the wrong voice and accent.

Your title is only 26 characters: “Oriel Michaeli • Portfolio”. 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.

There are 13 <h1> headlines (“Hey! I’m Oriel”, “an experienced product designer” and “My Latest Work”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.

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

No XML sitemap at https://www.oriel.design/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

The homepage links to 14 pages on oriel.design and 4 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.

There is no https://www.oriel.design/llms.txt, a short Markdown guide to your key pages for AI tools (llmstxt.org). It is optional and few AI tools read it yet, so treat it as a cheap extra.

https://www.oriel.design/oriel-michaeli-about, https://www.oriel.design/404, https://www.oriel.design/oriel-michaeli-portfolio-lili-web and https://www.oriel.design/oriel-michaeli-portfolio-viber-calls have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

https://www.oriel.design/404 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 5 pages 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: net::ERR_TUNNEL_CONNECTION_FAILED”.

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

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.

No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

The homepage has only about 221 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.

Opening the homepage sets 1 cookie (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 4 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
