tonic-studios.com website review

About 886 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 5.7 s faster on a phone.

Your mobile performance score is 47. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

A phone's processor spends 5.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Google Tag Manager and boostcommerce.io and others), adding 2.3 MB and 1.6 s of main-thread time.

Shopify costs a phone 526 ms of main-thread work and 998 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.

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 521 ms of main-thread work and 894 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.

14 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (126 KiB).

13 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 500 ms.

boostcommerce.io costs a phone 296 ms of main-thread work and 217 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.

18 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 256 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

The page has 1,631 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

About 74 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 230 ms faster on a phone.

29 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Polyfills for old browsers add 17 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

2 images could be 9 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.

2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Your largest element takes 19.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “a red and white sign with text”.

The page becomes fully interactive after 20.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

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

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 708 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.6 s to 2.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

The first text or image appears after 2.3 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.

Your homepage downloads 4.3 MB in 438 requests on a phone: scripts 2.0 MB (103), other files 1.6 MB (278) and images 352 KiB (16). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.23 g of CO₂e: 147.7 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.

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

Headings skip levels (h2 → h5 and h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

Your <h1> is empty.

The homepage links to 191 pages on tonic-studios.com and 13 external pages.

https://www.tonic-studios.com/policies/shipping-policy and https://www.tonic-studios.com/collections/book-nook use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

https://www.tonic-studios.com/collections/all, https://www.tonic-studios.com/policies/shipping-policy, https://www.tonic-studios.com/collections/newest-products, https://www.tonic-studios.com/collections/our-best-selling-craft-supplies, https://www.tonic-studios.com/collections/adhesives-glue and https://www.tonic-studios.com/collections/art-supplies and 9 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

https://www.tonic-studios.com/collections/all, https://www.tonic-studios.com/collections/newest-products, https://www.tonic-studios.com/collections/our-best-selling-craft-supplies, https://www.tonic-studios.com/collections/adhesives-glue, https://www.tonic-studios.com/collections/art-supplies and https://www.tonic-studios.com/collections/diy-craft-surfaces-and-shapes and 4 others have under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 94 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Synchronous `XMLHttpRequest` on the main thread is deprecated because of its detrimental effects to…”).

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.

The homepage has only about 185 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

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

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

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 page uses urgency cues (a countdown or limited-time wording).

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Pinterest Tag (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 (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 31 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
