thegoutlie.com website review

The page goes through 1 redirect before it starts loading, costing about 10.1 s. Link and advertise the final URL directly.

A phone's processor spends 4.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (cloudfront.net, Klaviyo and Shopify and others), adding 2.2 MB and 993 ms of main-thread time.

Your mobile performance score is 79. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

About 817 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

23 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (487 KiB).

cloudfront.net costs a phone 380 ms of main-thread work and 766 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.

3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 400 ms.

Klaviyo costs a phone 138 ms of main-thread work and 314 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.

zipify.com costs a phone 56 ms of main-thread work and 538 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.

12 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 169 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

About 60 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

Polyfills for old browsers add 53 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

40 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

1 image could be 36 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

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.

The page becomes fully interactive after 23.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 7.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 392 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

The first text or image appears after 2.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 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.

Your homepage downloads 4.2 MB in 359 requests on a phone: scripts 2.0 MB (159), other files 1.1 MB (157) and images 467 KiB (9). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.20 g of CO₂e: 143.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Images must have alternative text: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.

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

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 36 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

Heading levels should only increase by one: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

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

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

Your canonical URL points to reddremedies.com, not thegoutlie.com, so Google may credit that host instead.

Your meta description is 165 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

Structured data found (Organization and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “Organization: url points at a different host (https://reddremedies.com/)”.

The homepage links to 172 pages on thegoutlie.com and 7 external pages.

The HTML your server sends has 672 of the 1,649 words a browser shows. AI crawlers don't run JavaScript, so they miss the rest.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 76 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

2 images failed to load on a phone, for example https://thegoutlie.com/pages/the-gout-lie-official-book-launch?_su_rec=TSMcVwSJc_z68tYOfvgoi5qkARagqdvTlFcpe9JxlGnZpWhnF19YJI-5ULIArmn8deJnYtsBPI903rImUb8wby8Mo-UzNvoH4NwX4p22QShjJH1uCTadQCOFfGgZNEjwE.

5 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

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.

Social proof on the homepage: 10 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

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

There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

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 1,649 words of visible text.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel and 3 mores (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 25 cookies, 2 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 54 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
