unknowncomicbooks.com website review

4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 4.5 s.

The page has 9,859 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

A phone's processor spends 5.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

12 images could be 928 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (omnisnippet1.com, Shopify and rebuyengine.com and others), adding 3.8 MB and 904 ms of main-thread time.

Your mobile performance score is 64. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

About 665 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

Shopify costs a phone 242 ms of main-thread work and 2.7 MB 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.

361 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

omnisnippet1.com costs a phone 349 ms of main-thread work and 63 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 187 ms of main-thread work and 668 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.

15 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (212 KiB).

About 52 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.

13 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 147 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

Polyfills for old browsers add 29 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

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.

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.

The page becomes fully interactive after 33.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Your largest element takes 8.1 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 6.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Real visitors see the first content after 1.8 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 282 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

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

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 112 ms to 137 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 6.7 MB in 341 requests on a phone: scripts 1.9 MB (146), stylesheets 1.5 MB (23) and images 1.4 MB (19). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.90 g of CO₂e: 227.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

1 element use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.

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.

1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.

Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 5 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

Your title is only 14 characters: “Unknown Comics”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

Your meta description is only 55 characters: “Unknown Comic Books is the exclusive comic book dealer!”. 70 to 160 characters is enough to sell the click.

Social proof on the homepage: 182 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

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