wearelikewise.com website review

8 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (3.7 MB).

16 images could be 1.3 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

Your mobile performance score is 77. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Clarity, Klaviyo and Shopify and others), adding 4.1 MB and 248 ms of main-thread time.

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

Amazon Web Services costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 3.6 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.

About 23 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 71 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).

About 49 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

Polyfills for old browsers add 25 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.

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

The first text or image appears after 3.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Your largest element takes 3.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “BLACK FRIDAY IS HERE!”. Most of its time is element render delay (2.4 s).

The page becomes fully interactive after 5.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 96 ms to 106 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 1.5 s to 1.4 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 7.1 MB in 196 requests on a phone: media 3.6 MB (2), images 1.9 MB (26) and other files 689 KiB (75). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

9 images further down the page (907 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

5 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example Extensions.1327_6d66d81d-e829-4193-9104-cbd7693c93dc.jpg at 1,000 px wide, shown at 180 px. Resized copies would save about 427 KiB.

1 image (397 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 2.00 g of CO₂e: 240.2 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”.

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

Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Your meta description is only 53 characters: “Home of the world's greatest shifters. Join The Cult.”. 70 to 160 characters is enough to sell the click.

https://wearelikewise.com/collections/shop-all, https://wearelikewise.com/collections/all, https://wearelikewise.com/collections/shifters, https://wearelikewise.com/collections/extensions, https://wearelikewise.com/collections/rlx-lockout-system and https://wearelikewise.com/collections/lug-nuts use the same meta description.
