wendellaugust.com website review

The page has 3,545 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

Your mobile performance score is 74. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

About 241 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.

2 images could be 56 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

A phone's processor spends 2.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 675 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Google Tag Manager and shgcdn3.com and others), adding 621 KiB and 325 ms of main-thread time.

9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (42 KiB).

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

About 23 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

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.

Your largest element takes 9.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “We use cookies to enhance your experience, analyze traffic,…”.

The page becomes fully interactive after 9.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

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

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 145 ms to 152 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).

1 image (32 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.

1 image further down the page (32 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.39 g of CO₂e: 47.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

There are 2 <h1> headlines (“New Gifts, New Memories” and “”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

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

The homepage links to 485 pages on wendellaugust.com and 12 external pages.

https://www.wendellaugust.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.

https://www.wendellaugust.com/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

https://www.wendellaugust.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

https://www.wendellaugust.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 197 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Error getting product handle”.

Requests the notification permission on page load.

Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.

Social proof on the homepage: 33 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.

The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

The homepage carries about 795 words of visible text.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Klaviyo (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 6 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 13 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
