protestthis.com website review

6 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Privy and Other Google APIs/SDKs and others), adding 1.6 MB and 1.0 s of main-thread time.

Your mobile performance score is 73. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

About 682 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.

Google CDN costs a phone 700 ms of main-thread work and 1.1 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.

A phone's processor spends 3.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

Polyfills for old browsers add 31 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

About 30 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.

12 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 160 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (120 KiB).

2 images could be 14 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 100 ms faster on a phone.

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

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 16.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Your largest element takes 4.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 431 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

Visually, the page fills in at 3.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

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 3.2 MB in 174 requests on a phone: scripts 1.6 MB (42), other files 1.1 MB (101) and images 191 KiB (14). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example characters_3_red_logo_1512x.png at 1,198 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 2 KiB.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.90 g of CO₂e: 108.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

ARIA attributes must conform to valid names: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.

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

Headings skip levels (h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

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

Your meta description is 294 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

2 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

The homepage links to 37 pages on protestthis.com and 7 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.

/collections/featured-items and /collections/all have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 16 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

14 of 40 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

2 links go through two or more redirects, for example https://twitter.com/@_protestthis.

No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.

There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

protestthis.com is registered until Nov 2026. If it lapses, the site and its email stop working and someone else can buy the name. Renew it, and turn on auto-renew.

protestthis.com's DNS answers are not signed. DNSSEC stops attackers forging them to send visitors or email elsewhere; most registrars switch it on in a click, though most sites still run without it.

Social proof on the homepage: 8 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

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

No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach 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 443 words of visible text.

protestthis.com has no DMARC record, so nothing tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF or DKIM. Gmail and Yahoo require DMARC from bulk senders.

Email authentication: SPF record 25 points, plus 15 when it ends in -all (10 for ~all); DMARC record 25, plus 25 for a reject policy (15 for quarantine); a DKIM key on a common selector 10.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads 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 8 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 10 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
