wizardofbarge.com website review

About 367 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.3 s faster on a phone.

13 images could be 378 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.6 s faster on a phone.

18 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (309 KiB).

4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.

Your mobile performance score is 48. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

A phone's processor spends 4.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (rebuyengine.com, omnisnippet1.com and wholesalegorilla.app and others), adding 2.2 MB and 464 ms of main-thread time.

rebuyengine.com costs a phone 230 ms of main-thread work and 772 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 2,111 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

Shopify costs a phone 28 ms of main-thread work and 1.1 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 55 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 145 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 29 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

28 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

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.

For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.28 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

Your largest element takes 31.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

The page becomes fully interactive after 32.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 10.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

The layout shifts by 0.299 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

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

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 80 ms to 93 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 0.7 s to 0.8 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 6.1 MB in 500 requests on a phone: other files 3.1 MB (387), images 1.5 MB (29) and scripts 1,004 KiB (58). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

1 image further down the page (20 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 1.74 g of CO₂e: 208.5 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: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

Heading levels should only increase by one: 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.

Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (2 elements).

Your title is only 15 characters: “Wizard of Barge”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.

The homepage links to 50 pages on wizardofbarge.com and 4 external pages.

https://wizardofbarge.com/collections/shirts, https://wizardofbarge.com/collections/sweatpants, https://wizardofbarge.com/collections/hats, https://wizardofbarge.com/collections/pins-buttons, https://wizardofbarge.com/collections/prints-and-zines and https://wizardofbarge.com/collections/magic-the-gathering-x-wizard-of-barge and 2 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

Your homepage links to 4 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example https://wizardofbarge.com/collections/frontpage/products/cruel-world-tee-1, whose canonical is https://wizardofbarge.com/products/cruel-world-tee-1. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 34 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()”.

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

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.

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 506 words of visible text.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel and TikTok Pixel (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 18 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (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 23 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
