thomasfarthing.co.uk website review

The page has 5,189 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

Your mobile performance score is 77. 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 950 ms.

About 429 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.

4 images could be 213 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, rebuyengine.com and Klarna and others), adding 1.2 MB and 344 ms of main-thread time.

A phone's processor spends 2.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 974 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

Shopify costs a phone 116 ms of main-thread work and 441 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.

rebuyengine.com costs a phone 104 ms of main-thread work and 332 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.

10 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (78 KiB).

About 51 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.

4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 99 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

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

Polyfills for old browsers add 36 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

13 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

The page becomes fully interactive after 13.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Your largest element takes 5.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

Visually, the page fills in at 4.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 87 ms to 95 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 1.6 s to 1.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 3.3 MB in 399 requests on a phone: other files 1.3 MB (243), scripts 1.3 MB (121) and images 446 KiB (15). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

1 image (161 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 0.93 g of CO₂e: 112.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

Your meta description is 306 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

Your <h1> is empty.

The homepage links to 605 pages on thomasfarthing.co.uk and 5 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.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 193 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

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.

A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.

No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

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

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

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 1,321 words of visible text.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel (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 15 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 22 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
