thewinecaverns.com website review

About 732 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.6 s faster on a phone.

39 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (337 KiB).

A phone's processor spends 4.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Trust Pilot and others), adding 2.2 MB and 1.2 s of main-thread time.

20 images could be 402 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 850 ms faster on a phone.

Your mobile performance score is 55. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 800 ms.

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 499 ms of main-thread work and 649 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.

About 71 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 284 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

Klaviyo costs a phone 182 ms of main-thread work and 562 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.

The page has 1,813 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

Polyfills for old browsers add 35 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.

8 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles. 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).

15 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

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.

3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

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.

For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.27 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

Your largest element takes 29.9 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 30.3 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 439 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

8 images 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 127 ms to 146 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 5.6 MB in 411 requests on a phone: scripts 2.3 MB (140), images 1.8 MB (52) and other files 901 KiB (181). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

7 images (265 KiB) are 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.

3 images further down the page (81 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.59 g of CO₂e: 191.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

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

5 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

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

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

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

8 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

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

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

No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

Your meta description is 162 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

4 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

The homepage links to 205 pages on thewinecaverns.com and 11 external pages.

There is no Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants have no machine-readable facts about who runs the site: its name, logo, profiles and contact details.

https://thewinecaverns.co.uk/collections/still-wines, https://thewinecaverns.co.uk/collections/provence-rose and https://thewinecaverns.co.uk/collections/white-wines took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 71 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

2 images failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=148006166&Ver=2&mid=ab0963be-43eb-4594-b2d0-300e194363ec&bo=1&sid=46b26c50dd1111f18f937b94333bccaa&vid=46b2aed0dd1111f1b05b59ac72984e21&vids=0&msclkid=N&pi=918639831&l.

8 of 37 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).

1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_CONNECTION_RESET”.

Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.

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 563 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 20 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 48 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
