weatherbug.com website review

57 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (304 KiB).

About 742 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

sellwild.com costs a phone 69 ms of main-thread work and 596 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.

4 third-party services load with your homepage (sellwild.com, LongTail Ad Solutions and weatherbug.net and others), adding 653 KiB and 89 ms of main-thread time.

1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 150 ms.

4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 142 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

2 images could be 33 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

Polyfills for old browsers add 20 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

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 12.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Real visitors wait 201 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

Your largest element takes 3.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “We use technologies, such as cookies, to analyze your use (…”.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 220 ms to 236 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.54 g of CO₂e: 64.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Links must have discernible text: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

1 tap target is too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

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

Elements use prohibited ARIA attributes (1 element).

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

Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (7 elements).

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

The homepage links to 102 pages on weatherbug.com and 13 external pages.

/hurricane/active and /weather-videos/Extreme/20261011-Lightning-Zaps-Barcelona-Skyline all use the title “Warning”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

Your homepage links to 2 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example /maps, whose canonical is /maps?layerId=radar. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

/maps has 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 85 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

4 of 18 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

Large scripts ship without source maps.

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

We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.

Social proof on the homepage: 2 trust badges. 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.

There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

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 441 words of visible text.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Comscore, Criteo, Google Ads, Google Tag Manager and The Trade Desk (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 8 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 27 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
