weatherman.com website review

38 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (819 KiB).

A phone's processor spends 11.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.0 s.

Your mobile performance score is 49. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

12 images could be 2.8 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.

About 911 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Klaviyo and Stamped.io and others), adding 2.0 MB and 894 ms of main-thread time.

About 187 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.

Shopify costs a phone 210 ms of main-thread work and 662 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.

The page has 2,132 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

Attentive costs a phone 84 ms of main-thread work and 479 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.

20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 162 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).

Polyfills for old browsers add 27 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.

3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

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 24.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Your largest element takes 8.0 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 10.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.20 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 472 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

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

The layout shifts by 0.141 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.7 s to 1.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 7.4 MB in 349 requests on a phone: images 3.8 MB (45), scripts 1.8 MB (98) and other files 1.2 MB (171). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

3 images weigh 2.3 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

4 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example 8023eed9.webp at 2,582 px wide, shown at 165 px. Resized copies would save about 2.5 MB.

1 image (47 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.

4 images further down the page (114 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.11 g of CO₂e: 252.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Images must have alternative text: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.

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

Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails 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.

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

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

Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

Headings skip levels (h1 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

The homepage links to 124 pages on weatherman.com and 9 external pages.

https://weatherman.com/pages/rewards and https://weatherman.com/policies/refund-policy have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

https://weatherman.com/pages/about-weatherman-umbrellas-our-story, https://weatherman.com/pages/press, https://weatherman.com/pages/corporate-gifting-and-custom-orders, https://weatherman.com/pages/rewards, https://weatherman.com/pages/contact and https://weatherman.com/pages/help-center and 1 other have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 47 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.

The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).

2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Cannot read properties of null (reading 'addEventListener')”.

No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

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 474 words of visible text.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and Klaviyo and 1 more (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 31 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 60 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
