teslarati.com website review

8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.3 s.

About 288 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.6 s faster on a phone.

1 file is served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (217 KiB).

10 images could be 775 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 400 ms faster on a phone.

Your mobile performance score is 50 (desktop: 85). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

7 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Quantcast and Shopify and others), adding 1.3 MB and 442 ms of main-thread time.

About 34 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

Shopify costs a phone 30 ms of main-thread work and 748 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 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 228 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

Polyfills for old browsers add 14 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

Desktop scores 85 but mobile only 50. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

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.

Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

Your largest element takes 13.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Concept rendering of SpaceX Starship landing on the moon vi…”.

The first text or image appears after 5.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

The page becomes fully interactive after 14.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 8.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Real visitors wait 948 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 332 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 97 ms to 110 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 2.0 s to 1.8 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 2.8 MB in 67 requests on a phone: images 1.8 MB (38), scripts 552 KiB (9) and fonts 429 KiB (8). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

3 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example tesla-model-3-highland-model-y-juniper-center-console-organi at 1,920 px wide, shown at 358 px. Resized copies would save about 367 KiB.

1 image further down the page (39 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 0.80 g of CO₂e: 95.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

1 element has a tabindex above 0, which scrambles the keyboard order.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 42 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

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

1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

Headings skip levels (h2 → h4, h2 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

There are 2 <h1> headlines (“TESLARATI” and “”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

The homepage links to 109 pages on teslarati.com and 16 external pages.

There is no https://www.teslarati.com/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.

https://www.teslarati.com/category/tesla and https://www.teslarati.com/category/elon-musk have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

https://www.teslarati.com/category/news, https://www.teslarati.com/category/tesla, https://www.teslarati.com/category/spacex and https://www.teslarati.com/category/elon-musk have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 57 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 of 25 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

1 image is served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.

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.

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 719 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 2 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 9 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
