templeandtimber.com website review

6 images could be 672 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.9 s faster on a phone.

5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.5 s.

Your mobile performance score is 58. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

About 96 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

A phone's processor spends 3.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

The page has 1,534 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

6 third-party services load with your homepage (JSDelivr CDN, Clarity and Shopify and others), adding 485 KiB and 473 ms of main-thread time.

About 78 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 31 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 74 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

29 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

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

Your largest element takes 16.4 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 16.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

The first text or image appears after 4.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 8.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 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 7.0 MB in 371 requests on a phone: images 5.1 MB (33), other files 1.1 MB (208) and scripts 594 KiB (119). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

IMG_7916.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 1.99 g of CO₂e: 239.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

16 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.

1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

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

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

There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.

The homepage links to 83 pages on templeandtimber.com and 4 external pages.

Your Organization JSON-LD is missing sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

https://templeandtimber.com/collections/all, https://templeandtimber.com/collections/advent-sets, https://templeandtimber.com/collections/ornaments and https://templeandtimber.com/collections/wooden-puzzles have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

https://templeandtimber.com/products/provo-city-center-temple-winter-wooden-puzzle-copy, https://templeandtimber.com/products/boise-idaho-temple-wooden-puzzle and https://templeandtimber.com/products/bountiful-utah-wooden-puzzle use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

https://templeandtimber.com/collections/all, https://templeandtimber.com/collections/advent-sets, https://templeandtimber.com/products/mini-hymn-sign, https://templeandtimber.com/collections/ornaments, https://templeandtimber.com/collections/wooden-puzzles and https://templeandtimber.com/products/12-names-of-christ-advent-ornaments and 6 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

https://templeandtimber.com/collections/ornaments and https://templeandtimber.com/products/25-names-of-christ-advent-ornaments took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 28 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

11 of 37 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: the server responded with a status of 404 ()”.

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 112 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.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo, Microsoft Clarity and Pinterest Tag (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 16 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
