therisingtide.com website review

Your mobile performance score is 72. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

3 third-party services load with your homepage (Clarity, Shopify and Google CDN), adding 121 KiB and 272 ms of main-thread time.

8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 165 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

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

6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 100 ms.

2 images could be 43 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 50 ms faster on a phone.

About 67 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

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 5.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “An image of a buffalo brown chesterfield leather chair in t…”.

Visually, the page fills in at 5.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

The page becomes fully interactive after 5.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

The first text or image appears after 2.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

1 image have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 80 ms to 88 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.0 s to 0.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

1 image (35 KiB) is JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.12 g of CO₂e: 14.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).

Your meta description is 278 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

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

Your <h1> is empty.

The homepage links to 59 pages on therisingtide.com and 15 external pages.

https://therisingtide.com/pages/the-rising-tide-story and https://therisingtide.com/pages/our-story-1 all use the title “The Rising Tide Story – Rising Tide Design Co”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

https://therisingtide.com/policies/refund-policy, https://therisingtide.com/pages/customer-reviews, https://therisingtide.com/policies/privacy-policy, https://therisingtide.com/policies/terms-of-service and https://therisingtide.com/policies/shipping-policy have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

https://therisingtide.com/pages/the-rising-tide-story and https://therisingtide.com/pages/our-story-1 use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example https://therisingtide.com/pages/our-story-1, whose canonical is https://therisingtide.com/pages/the-rising-tide-story. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

https://therisingtide.com/pages/contact-us has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

We fetched 14 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

1 image is displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so it looks stretched or squashed.

No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

The homepage carries about 332 words of visible text.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Microsoft Clarity (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 10 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 7 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
