splashofwines.com website review

Your mobile performance score is 84. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

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

2 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify and shop.app), adding 64 KiB and 13 ms of main-thread time.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

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

1 file is served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1 KiB).

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.

The page becomes fully interactive after 4.6 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.

Splash_of_3.png 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 0.47 g of CO₂e: 56.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

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

Your title is only 18 characters: “Splash of NA Wines”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

Your <h1> is empty.

The homepage links to 30 pages on splashofwines.com and 7 external pages.

https://splashofwines.com/policies/shipping-policy, https://splashofwines.com/collections/all, https://splashofwines.com/pages/about-us, https://splashofwines.com/pages/contact, https://splashofwines.com/policies/refund-policy and https://splashofwines.com/policies/privacy-policy and 1 other have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

https://splashofwines.com/pages/about-us and https://splashofwines.com/pages/contact have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

We fetched 11 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_TUNNEL_CONNECTION_FAILED”.

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 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 86 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.

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