raleighagencies.com website review

5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, boostcommerce.io and appspot.com and others), adding 1.3 MB and 246 ms of main-thread time.

Shopify costs a phone 157 ms of main-thread work and 601 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 2.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 782 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

Other Google APIs/SDKs costs a phone 4 ms of main-thread work and 308 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.

45 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (237 KiB).

About 79 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.

About 114 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 75 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

Polyfills for old browsers add 7 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

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.

1 image could be 5 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Your largest element takes 3.3 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 4.3 s. Good is under 3.8 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 2.4 MB in 263 requests on a phone: other files 931 KiB (93), scripts 659 KiB (95) and images 380 KiB (37). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

1 image (32 KiB) is 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 0.69 g of CO₂e: 82.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

Your meta description is only 59 characters: “Automotive wholesaler and distributor to the UK and Ireland”. 70 to 160 characters is enough to sell the click.

Your <h1> is empty.

The homepage links to 50 pages on raleighagencies.com and 1 external page.

https://raleighagencies.com/collections/batteries, https://raleighagencies.com/collections/towing-accessories, https://raleighagencies.com/collections/diy-garage, https://raleighagencies.com/pages/faqs and https://raleighagencies.com/collections/all have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

https://raleighagencies.com/collections/vehicle-parts, https://raleighagencies.com/collections/batteries, https://raleighagencies.com/collections/bodyshop-supplies-1, https://raleighagencies.com/collections/towing-accessories, https://raleighagencies.com/collections/car-accessories and https://raleighagencies.com/collections/diy-garage and 2 others 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 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 22 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Error loading Instagram data: Error: Instagram data is unavailable”.

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 has only about 147 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Meta Pixel and TikTok 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 9 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 21 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
