straubs.com website review

14 images could be 491 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

Your mobile performance score is 62 (desktop: 97). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

About 123 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.

Shopify costs a phone 107 ms of main-thread work and 371 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.

4 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, userway.org and shop.app and others), adding 451 KiB and 129 ms of main-thread time.

Polyfills for old browsers add 11 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 65 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

Desktop scores 97 but mobile only 62. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

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

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 9.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

The first text or image appears after 4.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

The page becomes fully interactive after 9.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 6.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 73 ms to 74 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 0.9 s to 0.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 2.4 MB in 196 requests on a phone: images 953 KiB (18), other files 799 KiB (111) and scripts 579 KiB (43). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

1771_1633_large_a9455eaa-4ac8-4abe-bd0b-59d9d94a8046.jpg 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 0.68 g of CO₂e: 82.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

Your <h1> is empty.

The homepage links to 45 pages on straubs.com and 14 external pages.

/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.

/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

/pages/locations, /pages/careers, /customer_authentication/redirect, /pages/about, /pages/menus and /pages/our-st-louis-signatures and 2 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

/pages/locations, /pages/careers, /customer_authentication/redirect, /pages/weekly-lunch-specials, /pages/about and /pages/menus and 3 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

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

HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://straubs.com/customer_authentication/redirect?locale=en&region_country=US.

No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.

There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

straubs.com has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.

straubs.com's DNS answers are not signed. DNSSEC stops attackers forging them to send visitors or email elsewhere; most registrars switch it on in a click, though most sites still run without it.

Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.

A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.

Social proof on the homepage: 1 trust badge. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

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 shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

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 538 words of visible text.

DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be straubs.com is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.

Email authentication: SPF record 25 points, plus 15 when it ends in -all (10 for ~all); DMARC record 25, plus 25 for a reject policy (15 for quarantine); a DKIM key on a common selector 10.

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