urthyarns.com website review

A phone's processor spends 12.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

6 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Shopify and Other Google APIs/SDKs and others), adding 698 KiB and 1.0 s of main-thread time.

Your mobile performance score is 58. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 650 ms.

Google CDN costs a phone 584 ms of main-thread work and 298 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 489 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 467 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

Shopify costs a phone 380 ms of main-thread work and 341 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 57 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

The page has 2,067 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (116 KiB).

2 images could be 97 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

Polyfills for old browsers add 7 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.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 2.5 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

The page becomes fully interactive after 9.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 5.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Your largest element takes 3.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Urth Yarns”. Most of its time is element render delay (1.4 s).

The first text or image appears after 2.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 94 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 1.3 s to 1.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 2.4 MB in 121 requests on a phone: scripts 913 KiB (44), images 685 KiB (24) and other files 560 KiB (40). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.68 g of CO₂e: 81.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

[role="img"] and [role="image"] elements must have alternative text: 9 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.

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

Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

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. (2 elements).

No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

Your title is only 10 characters: “Urth Yarns”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

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

6 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

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

The homepage links to 62 pages on urthyarns.com and 10 external pages.

https://urthyarns.com/collections, https://urthyarns.com/collections/all-yarns, https://urthyarns.com/collections/special-editions, https://urthyarns.com/collections/house-patterns, https://urthyarns.com/collections/independent-patterns and https://urthyarns.com/collections/kids-collection and 8 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

https://urthyarns.com/collections, https://urthyarns.com/pages/spiral-grain, https://urthyarns.com/pages/pattern-designing, https://urthyarns.com/pages/pattern-sampling, https://urthyarns.com/pages/pattern-testing and https://urthyarns.com/pages/store-locator-1 have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 29 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

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

2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

1 image is served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.

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.

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 has only about 215 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager 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 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 17 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
