yuengling.com website review

134 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (3.9 MB).

48 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 6.5 s.

About 802 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.9 s faster on a phone.

About 1.2 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.1 s faster on a phone.

13 images could be 458 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.4 s faster on a phone.

Your mobile performance score is 28. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Facebook and Google Maps and others), adding 2.1 MB and 1.4 s of main-thread time.

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 872 ms of main-thread work and 1.2 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.

Polyfills for old browsers add 86 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 350 ms faster on a phone.

A phone's processor spends 3.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

80 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Facebook costs a phone 180 ms of main-thread work and 313 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.

Google Maps costs a phone 176 ms of main-thread work and 337 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 1,801 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 250 ms).

16 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 248 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

36 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

The HTML itself could arrive sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.

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.

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 first text or image appears after 9.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Your largest element takes 29.2 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 25.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

The page becomes fully interactive after 45.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

The layout shifts by 0.302 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

Real visitors wait 363 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.13 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 100 ms to 129 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Real visitors see the first content after 1.9 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 457 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.6 s to 1.7 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 7.6 MB in 327 requests on a phone: scripts 3.2 MB (107), fonts 1.8 MB (11) and images 1.3 MB (76). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example Resized_Yuengling_Homepage_Mobile_FlightSummer-1498x1920.jpg at 1,498 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 120 KiB.

5 images (480 KiB) are 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.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.16 g of CO₂e: 258.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 10 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate 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.

17 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

6 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 (h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

Your title is only 16 characters: “Home - Yuengling”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

There are 2 <h1> headlines (“Score Big This Season!” and “Score Big This Season!”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.

Open Graph is missing og:description, so shared links fall back to guesses.

The homepage links to 148 pages on yuengling.com and 9 external pages.

Your Organization JSON-LD is missing sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

There is no https://www.yuengling.com/llms.txt, a short Markdown guide to your key pages for AI tools (llmstxt.org). It is optional and few AI tools read it yet, so treat it as a cheap extra.

https://www.yuengling.com/our-beer, https://www.yuengling.com/our-beer/traditional-lager, https://www.yuengling.com/our-beer/light-lager, https://www.yuengling.com/our-beer/flight-by-yuengling, https://www.yuengling.com/our-beer/black-and-tan and https://www.yuengling.com/our-beer/lord-chesterfield-ale and 3 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

https://www.yuengling.com/our-beer/black-and-tan, https://www.yuengling.com/our-beer/lord-chesterfield-ale and https://www.yuengling.com/our-beer/porter took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 58 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://insight.adsrvr.org/track/pxl/?adv=gjfwhvk&ct=0:tfbm4zg&fmt=3.

5 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

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 “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_SOCKET_NOT_CONNECTED”.

Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

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

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.

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

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.

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 317 words of visible text.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel and Snap Pixel and 2 mores (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 19 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 66 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
