steelydanshop.com website review

About 324 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.0 s faster on a phone.

11 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (143 KiB).

Your mobile performance score is 70. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Attentive and Klaviyo and others), adding 702 KiB and 523 ms of main-thread time.

5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 350 ms.

9 images could be 178 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

About 28 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.

3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 172 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

Polyfills for old browsers add 42 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 100 ms faster on a phone.

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 further down the page (58 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.69 g of CO₂e: 83.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

<dl> elements must only directly contain properly-ordered <dt> and <dd> groups, <script>, <template> or <div> elements: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

Your title is only 10 characters: “Steely Dan”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

The homepage links to 30 pages on steelydanshop.com and 4 external pages.

https://steelydan.store/collections/featured-items, https://steelydan.store/collections/apparel, https://steelydan.store/collections/accessories and https://steelydan.store/collections/music have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

Your homepage links to 11 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example https://steelydan.store/collections/featured-items/products/the-royal-scam-lp, whose canonical is https://steelydan.store/products/the-royal-scam-lp. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

https://steelydan.store/collections/accessories, https://steelydan.store/collections/featured-items/products/the-royal-scam-lp, https://steelydan.store/collections/featured-items/products/katy-lied-lp, https://steelydan.store/collections/featured-items/products/gaucho-lp, https://steelydan.store/collections/featured-items/products/aja-lp and https://steelydan.store/collections/featured-items/products/cant-buy-a-thrill-vinyl-lp and 5 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 21 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 of 28 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

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

No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

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 232 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 21 cookies, 1 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 26 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
