Website

[Rose Puff]

Do you review websites? I sure need an opinion on mine since it is not bringing traffic. Thanks http://www.birdhousesnook.com

Hey Mrs. Puff

Ok, let's go on with a short review for your site.

First of all: DOCTYPE seems to be HTML 4.01 Transitional.

W3C Validator tells me: 54 Errors and 19 warnings.

Hm, that's not really good tbh. But hey, this site is coded with tables.

If you code for this doctype you should disable shorttags. That means, something like e.g.

Code:

<meta content="110WTBI8eRAr1PAZlpnIjICyaiE" name="alexaVerifyID" />

should be

Code:

<meta content="110WTBI8eRAr1PAZlpnIjICyaiE" name="alexaVerifyID">

and so on... A full list of errors is here: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http:/...ne&group=0

You have all your styles inline. And this one here

Code:

<style>
    <!--
    .debug{
        color : #B30000;
        width : 100%;
        height : 15px;
        font-family : arial;
        background-color : #FFFFBF;
        font-weight : bold;
        margin-top : 0px;
    }
    -->
</style>

is not necessary anymore I think you do not need it.

Oh, there is a external stylesheet ... the best is you put ALL (inline styles too) into the external sheet that is loaded here:

Code:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/css/designs/templateText.css"></link>

The code is cluttered ... that's not really good!

All those

Code:

<td

                      align="left"

                        class="link"

                        onmouseover="bgColor='bbbbbb'"

                        onmouseout="bgColor='dddddd'"

                        onclick="window.location='/faq_page.html'"

                        bgcolor="dddddd"

                        width="140"                            

                        >

is not really the way to code a site nowadays. What program did you use for it?

This lines here are not allowed to be placed there:

Code:

            <style>
                .hostReferralLink{font-size:0pt;}
            </style>

And you forgot to set the type anyway

Google Page Speed Score is 82.

Suggestions from the big G are:

Code:

Leverage browser caching
Serve scaled images
Serve static content from a cookieless domain
Combine external JavaScript
Enable compression
Optimize images
Minify CSS
Minify JavaScript
Optimize the order of styles and scripts
Put CSS in the document head
Specify a Vary: Accept-Encoding header
Specify image dimensions

As you can see there is a lot to optimize. TBH I would do a new site ... done from the scratch.

May I ask what is this site for? Business?

Thank you Nikjerry, I have worked hard but it has too many errors. It may never be seen.
