Based on reading https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29611139 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29611139 the other day, my impression is for a small website operator the email template used some potentially threatening language in the line "I look forward to your reply without undue delay and at most within 45 days of this email, as required by Section 1798.130 of the California Civil Code." There is some discussion that for large websites or gov entities this kind of language may be necessary to communicate your sincerity with the request, but lone operators doing their best probably dont have any sort of legal to ensure they follow the letter of the law. From my perspective maybe its best to approach a small website with a more casual tone that you just want your data gone and "make it serious" if the request is ignored or the response is noncompliant.
