saltnlemons.co website review

Your mobile performance score is 78. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

7 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (101 KiB).

About 105 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 300 ms.

Shopify costs a phone 191 ms of main-thread work and 387 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.

2 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify and shop.app), adding 472 KiB and 207 ms of main-thread time.

About 43 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.

Polyfills for old browsers add 7 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 62 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

2 images could be 34 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

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.

Your largest element takes 4.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Silver Sleek LED Table Lamp - SALT & LEMONS”. Most of its time is element render delay (2.1 s).

Visually, the page fills in at 5.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

The first text or image appears after 2.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

The page becomes fully interactive after 4.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

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 362 requests on a phone: other files 1.1 MB (206), scripts 602 KiB (117) and images 483 KiB (21). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.68 g of CO₂e: 81.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

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

The homepage links to 47 pages on saltnlemons.co and 12 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://saltnlemons.co/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://saltnlemons.co/en-us and https://saltnlemons.co/en-us/collections/all-products all use the title “Unique Homewares & Home Decor | SALT & LEMONS”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 23 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

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.

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 479 words of visible text.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel and Pinterest Tag and 1 more (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 14 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 14 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
