racecompengineering.com website review

About 732 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.2 s faster on a phone.

The page has 3,348 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (YouTube, Shopify and shop.app and others), adding 1.9 MB and 841 ms of main-thread time.

Your mobile performance score is 59. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

YouTube costs a phone 516 ms of main-thread work and 1,015 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.

10 images could be 191 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

A phone's processor spends 3.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

Shopify costs a phone 267 ms of main-thread work and 827 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.

About 166 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 260 ms faster on a phone.

2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 250 ms.

32 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 109 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (29 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.

Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

4 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Your largest element takes 8.4 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 16.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 8.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

The first text or image appears after 2.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

The layout shifts by 0.127 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 71 ms to 67 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 3.8 MB in 289 requests on a phone: scripts 1.6 MB (125), images 987 KiB (30) and other files 831 KiB (110). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

61E5F030-16C7-45FD-ABB4-5D51E0E2DE90_1_201_a.jpg 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).

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.08 g of CO₂e: 130.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

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.

The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

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

Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).

Your meta description is only 53 characters: “Custom-engineered suspension products for Subaru cars”. 70 to 160 characters is enough to sell the click.

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

The homepage links to 96 pages on racecompengineering.com and 4 external pages.

Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

https://www.racecompengineering.com/collections/sway-bar-end-links, https://www.racecompengineering.com/collections/2022-wrx, https://www.racecompengineering.com/collections/2022-brz-gr86, https://www.racecompengineering.com/collections/2013-brz-fr-s-86, https://www.racecompengineering.com/collections/2015-2020-sti and https://www.racecompengineering.com/collections/2015-2020-wrx and 5 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 46 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

17 of 37 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

5 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

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 120 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.

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 6 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 7 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
