acure.com website review

About 357 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.3 s faster on a phone.

15 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (167 KiB).

Your mobile performance score is 62. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 750 ms.

The page has 2,999 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

A phone's processor spends 2.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

Klaviyo costs a phone 133 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.

LiveChat costs a phone 86 ms of main-thread work and 367 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.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Clarity, Klaviyo and LiveChat and others), adding 973 KiB and 463 ms of main-thread time.

4 images could be 56 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 250 ms faster on a phone.

Polyfills for old browsers add 19 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 50 ms faster on a phone.

5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 69 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

About 12 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

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.

Your largest element takes 12.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “A close-up lifestyle shot of a person holding a tube of Acu…”.

The page becomes fully interactive after 13.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

The first text or image appears after 3.7 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 6.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 111 ms to 163 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.3 s to 1.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 2.2 MB in 234 requests on a phone: scripts 1.0 MB (95), other files 769 KiB (103) and images 222 KiB (12). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

4 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example A9983A90-8EC5-403B-B5A7-0B719CBD18C420230804_ACR0006_Shot_18 at 17,532 px wide, shown at 171 px. Resized copies would save about 350 KiB.

3 images further down the page (209 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.63 g of CO₂e: 76.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 tap target is too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 11 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (6 elements).

Structured data found ((untyped), BreadcrumbList, Organization and WebSite) but with 2 problems, for example “untyped block: missing @context (expected "https://schema.org")”.

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

No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

The homepage links to 258 pages on acure.com and 6 external pages.

/collections/skin-barrier-support-acure and /collections/barrier-support-skincare-haircare all use the title “Skin Barrier Repair: Strengthen & Hydrate | ACURE”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

/collections/skin-barrier-support-acure and /collections/barrier-support-skincare-haircare use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example /collections/skin-barrier-support-acure, whose canonical is /collections/barrier-support-skincare-haircare. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

/collections/shop-all, /collections/clean-beauty, /pages/skincare-quiz and /pages/haircare-quiz have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 98 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

7 of 31 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 429 ()”.

HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.

There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

acure.com has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.

acure.com's DNS answers are not signed. DNSSEC stops attackers forging them to send visitors or email elsewhere; most registrars switch it on in a click, though most sites still run without it.

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

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 921 words of visible text.

The page uses urgency cues (a countdown or limited-time wording).

DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be acure.com is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.

Email authentication: SPF record 25 points, plus 15 when it ends in -all (10 for ~all); DMARC record 25, plus 25 for a reject policy (15 for quarantine); a DKIM key on a common selector 10.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta 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 25 cookies, 4 of them by other companies (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 41 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
