wethehobby.com website review

12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (282 KiB).

Your mobile performance score is 66. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

9 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 800 ms.

About 63 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

5 third-party services load with your homepage (Facebook, Hubspot and Shopify and others), adding 423 KiB and 238 ms of main-thread time.

3 images could be 183 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 60 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).

Polyfills for old browsers add 25 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

About 11 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.

2 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

Your largest element takes 9.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Load video:”.

The page becomes fully interactive after 9.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 5.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

The first text or image appears after 2.7 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 87 ms to 96 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 30.0 MB in 162 requests on a phone: media 28.2 MB (1), other files 673 KiB (72) and scripts 521 KiB (51). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

ca56898076b94193aed0e2aa02cf75d2.thumbnail.0000000000.jpg is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 8.49 g of CO₂e: 1019.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

Interactive controls must not be nested: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

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

1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.

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

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. (2 elements).

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

There are 2 <h1> headlines (“WeTheHobby” and “Join The Hobby”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

Your meta description is 232 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

The homepage links to 84 pages on wethehobby.com and 38 external pages.

https://wethehobby.com/pages/consignment, https://wethehobby.com/blogs/insights and https://wethehobby.com/collections/t-shirts have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

https://wethehobby.com/pages/faqs and https://wethehobby.com/pages/careers have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 37 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

2 of 9 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

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.

The homepage has only about 58 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, HubSpot and Meta Pixel (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (HubSpot cookie banner) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

Opening the homepage sets 22 cookies, 7 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

Loading the homepage contacts 23 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
