Blazing Embers is an e-commerce platform specializing in high-quality outdoor furniture and accessories. They offer a wide range of products to enhance outdoor living spaces. However, Blazing Embers faced several challenges with their website’s performance, which adversely affected their SEO ranking and user experience.
The Challenge
Blazing Embers encountered several critical issues that needed to be addressed urgently: The website failed to meet the core web vital requirements, resulting in a negative impact on their SEO ranking. This hindered their visibility in search engine results. The LCP metric for mobile users was excessively high, with a staggering 23-second load time. This delay significantly affected user experience and discouraged potential customers from engaging with the website. The website suffered from CLS problems, causing unexpected layout shifts and disrupting user interactions. This issue prevented the website from receiving passing scores on core web vitals assessments. The images on the website were not properly optimized, leading to slow loading times and increased page weight. The website had a high page weight, resulting in prolonged loading times. This caused browsers to spend excessive time downloading assets, preventing users from quickly accessing the content they desired. The page weight was measured at 14 MB using the Pingdom tool.
