Cheap Web Design

What Dr Urls found on cheapwebdesign.co.uk

From the audit of their public home page on 26/10/2026, worst first. Each links to what it means and how it is fixed.

• high
  Too many HTTP requests per page

  Each HTTP request incurs overhead from DNS lookup, TCP connection, TLS handshake, and server processing.

• medium
  Cache-Control header missing

  Proper caching prevents browsers from re-downloading unchanged resources, dramatically improving repeat visit performance.

• medium
  Excessive DOM size

  A large DOM tree directly impacts Interaction to Next Paint (INP), a Core Web Vital.

• medium
  Image file too large (>500 KB)

  Images typically account for 50-75% of a page's total weight.

• medium
  Render-blocking CSS or JavaScript

  Render-blocking resources directly impact First Contentful Paint (FCP) and Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), both Core Web Vitals metrics.

• medium
  Scripts without async or defer

  Synchronous scripts halt HTML parsing while the browser downloads and executes them.

• medium
  Too many external CSS stylesheets

  Multiple CSS files multiply HTTP requests and increase the total blocking time before the page can render.

• medium
  User scaling disabled in viewport

  Disabling pinch-to-zoom prevents users with low vision from enlarging text and content to a readable size.

• low
  Below-the-fold images not lazy loaded

  Loading all images immediately increases initial page weight and competes with critical resources for bandwidth.

• low
  Broken heading hierarchy

  Heading hierarchy provides a semantic outline of the page content.

• low
  CSS files are not minified

  Unminified CSS files are larger than necessary, increasing download time and delaying rendering.

• low
  Duplicate heading text on same page

  Duplicate headings reduce the uniqueness and semantic clarity of the page structure.
