raffaeleart.net website review

About 1.0 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 5.4 s faster on a phone.

7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.2 s.

7 images could be 640 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.

6 third-party services load with your homepage (Squarespace, Vimeo and sqspcdn.com and others), adding 3.4 MB and 673 ms of main-thread time.

Your mobile performance score is 52. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

About 155 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.

5 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (53 KiB).

Polyfills for old browsers add 144 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

Squarespace costs a phone 538 ms of main-thread work and 1.3 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 2.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 937 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

Vimeo costs a phone 90 ms of main-thread work and 621 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.

squarespace-cdn.com costs a phone 0 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.

sqspcdn.com costs a phone 41 ms of main-thread work and 320 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.

6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 152 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

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 18.8 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 19.2 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 9.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 245 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

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 3.5 MB in 82 requests on a phone: scripts 1.9 MB (46), images 1.3 MB (12) and stylesheets 190 KiB (11). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

2 images further down the page (75 KiB) 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 0.98 g of CO₂e: 117.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

Your title is only 23 characters: “Catherine-Rose Raffaele”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

There are 2 <h1> headlines (“Raffaele” and “Raffaele”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

Structured data found (LocalBusiness and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “LocalBusiness: missing name”.

No Open Graph image (also missing: og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

The homepage links to 30 pages on raffaeleart.net and 1 external page.

Your Organization JSON-LD is missing name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles), 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.

There is no https://raffaeleart.net/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://raffaeleart.net/about, https://raffaeleart.net/testimonials, https://raffaeleart.net/gallery, https://raffaeleart.net/store and https://raffaeleart.net/contact have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

https://raffaeleart.net/gallery and https://raffaeleart.net/contact have 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.

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

The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).

4 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “%c%d font-size:0;color:transparent NaN”.

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.

A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.

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.

The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

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

There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

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 343 words of visible text.

Opening the homepage sets 6 cookies, 3 of them by other companies (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.
