skibanff.com website review

About 403 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.9 s faster on a phone.

5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.9 s.

Your mobile performance score is 49. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, JSDelivr CDN and Google Analytics and others), adding 1.1 MB and 1.0 s of main-thread time.

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 919 ms of main-thread work and 962 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.

The page has 2,192 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 230 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).

1 image could be 35 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (25 KiB).

About 19 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

Polyfills for old browsers add 10 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.

Your largest element takes 11.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Skier gliding down a snowy slope under a blue sky near gond…”.

The page becomes fully interactive after 11.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 6.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 633 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.6 s to 2.0 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

The first text or image appears after 2.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

3 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 80 ms to 80 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Arney Canyon reedits-2.webp 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 0.39 g of CO₂e: 46.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

The homepage links to 179 pages on skibanff.com and 28 external pages.

There is no /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.

/webcams, /sunshinemeadows, /summer/know-before-you-go/summer-faqs, /events/events/events-calendar, /events/events/live-music-apres and /events/special-experiences/slush-cup-long-weekend and 2 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 71 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

Social proof on the homepage: 3 customer or partner logos. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

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 1,207 words of visible text.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (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 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 15 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
