Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Improve image delivery
1.2 s · 10.0 MB47 images could be 10.0 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.2 s faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.7 s · 217 KiBAbout 217 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.7 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.4 s10 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.
Main-thread work: 4.3 s
A phone's processor spends 4.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.9 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Mobile performance score: 53
53/100Your mobile performance score is 53 (desktop: 48). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Google Tag Manager adds 440 ms
440 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 440 ms of main-thread work and 418 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.
11 long tasks on the main thread
11 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 444 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
1,817 HTML elements
The page has 1,817 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
4 third-party services on the page
4 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Unpkg and amorepacific.com and others), adding 427 KiB and 442 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 42 KiBAbout 42 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Minify CSS
11 KiB11 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Chained critical requests
Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
2 KiB5 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (2 KiB).
Minify JavaScript
2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Server response: 2 ms
2 msYour server sent the HTML in 2 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors
Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.
Real-user LCP: 6.8 s
6.8 sReal visitors wait 6.8 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.
Real-user TTFB: 1.9 s
1.9 sReal visitors wait 1.9 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
Largest Contentful Paint: 40.0 s
40.0 sYour largest element takes 40.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Create New Beauty”.
Speed Index: 21.6 s
21.6 sVisually, the page fills in at 21.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Time to Interactive: 43.4 s
43.4 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 43.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Real-user FCP: 2.6 s
2.6 sReal visitors see the first content after 2.6 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
50 images without width and height
50 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Total Blocking Time: 421 ms
421 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 421 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
First Contentful Paint: 2.2 s
2.2 sThe first text or image appears after 2.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
+1%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 108 ms to 111 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
+5%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.0 s to 2.1 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
Page weight: 22.5 MB in 156 requests
22.5 MBYour homepage downloads 22.5 MB in 156 requests on a phone: images 11.8 MB (95), media 9.7 MB (4) and scripts 577 KiB (36). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
10 images over 500 KB
10 images weigh 9.0 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
34 images in older formats
34 images (10.9 MB) are JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.
35 images below the first screen load straight away
35 images further down the page (10.8 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 6.4 g of CO₂ per visit
6.39 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 6.39 g of CO₂e: 766.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
Invalid ARIA attributes
2 elements use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.
Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children (2 elements)
Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.
ARIA attributes must conform to valid values (1 element)
ARIA attributes must conform to valid values: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.
ARIA input fields must have an accessible name (3 elements)
ARIA input fields must have an accessible name: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
Interactive controls must not be nested (2 elements)
Interactive controls must not be nested: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
2 tap targets too small
2 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (20 elements)
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 20 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Elements marked as presentational should be consistently ignored (2 elements)
Elements marked as presentational should be consistently ignored: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3, h1 → h3 and h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 158 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
45 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 55 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 10 failed. 5 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No meta description
No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.
10 H1 headlines
There are 10 <h1> headlines (“”, “Home” and “Latest Amorepacific News”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
No canonical URL
No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.
25 links with vague text
25 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
Open Graph partly set
Open Graph is missing og:description, so shared links fall back to guesses.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
47 internal links, 52 external
The homepage links to 47 pages on apgroup.com and 52 external pages.
4 checks passed
Title: 37 characters
Your title is a healthy 37 characters: “Amorepacific - A More Beautiful World”.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: Organization.
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.
XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at http://www.apgroup.com/int/en/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)
Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.
No llms.txt
There is no /llms.txt, a short Markdown guide to your key pages for AI tools (llmstxt.org). It is optional and few AI tools read it yet, so treat it as a cheap extra.
2 checks passed
AI answer engines may read the site
Your robots.txt lets the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity read the site and cite it in answers.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (797 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
2 pages share a title
/int/en and /int/en/index.html all use the title “Amorepacific - A More Beautiful World”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
15 pages without a meta description
/int/en/index.html, /int/en/about-us/amorepacific/our-values/our-values.html, /int/en/commitments/sustainability/sustainability.html, /int/en/commitments/sustainability/innovation-index/innovation.html, /int/en/news/2026-10-02-2.html and /int/en/news/2026-10-02-1.html and 9 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 42 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
5 checks passed
Linked pages load
All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.
Canonical URLs point to themselves

Every page has an H1
Each page we checked has a main headline.
No linked page is hidden from search
None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.
Every page has a title
All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.
Best practices
Deprecated browser APIs
The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Synchronous `XMLHttpRequest` on the main thread is deprecated because of its detrimental effects to…”).
4 JavaScript errors while loading
4 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_CERT_DATE_INVALID”.
2 checks passed
Tap targets are thumb-sized
27 of 32 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
1 broken external link
1 link to other sites is dead, for example https://www.amazon.com/stores/page/BD1EF1E7-6C54-4126-9652-40C47920D613 (503).
No HSTS header
No Strict-Transport-Security header, so browsers may still try plain http first on a return visit.
No Content-Security-Policy
No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
HTTP/1.1 only
The server only offers HTTP/1.1, so browsers open several connections and load files more slowly. Most hosts and CDNs turn on HTTP/2 with a setting.
No clickjacking protection
Neither X-Frame-Options nor a CSP frame-ancestors policy is set, so any site can embed yours in a frame.
No X-Content-Type-Options
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.
3 redirects before the homepage
Opening https://apgroup.com goes through 3 redirects before the homepage loads.
1 link through redirect chains
1 link go through two or more redirects, for example http://instagram.com/Laneige_us/.
No Referrer-Policy
No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.
No Permissions-Policy
No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.
No security.txt
There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.
3 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (apgroup.com).
Valid certificate (162 days left)
The certificate from GlobalSign nv-sa · GlobalSign GCC R46 OV TLS CA 2025 verifies for apgroup.com and is valid for another 162 days.
http:// redirects to https
http://apgroup.com redirects to the secure version.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
apgroup.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.
DNSSEC is off
apgroup.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.
2 checks passed
Domain is 29 years old
29 yearsapgroup.com was registered in Feb 1997 through Gabia, Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Feb 2027
apgroup.com is registered until Feb 2027.
Content and conversion
No call to action on the first screen
On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
No direct contact details
No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.
No form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
No risk reducer
No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.
About 616 words of copy
The homepage carries about 616 words of visible text.
2 checks passed
22 calls to action
The homepage has 22 calls to action, for example “Learn More”.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.
Email authentication
No DMARC policy
apgroup.com has no DMARC record, so nothing tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF or DKIM. Gmail and Yahoo require DMARC from bulk senders.
No SPF record
apgroup.com has no SPF record, so mail servers can't tell which servers may send email as you. Your mail lands in spam more often, and anyone can send mail pretending to be you.
No DKIM key on the usual selectors
We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.
Domain receives no email
apgroup.com has no MX record, so it receives no email. SPF -all and DMARC reject still matter: they stop others sending mail as you.
Email authentication score: 0/100
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.
Privacy and tracking
3 trackers load before any consent
3Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (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.
2 cookies set on arrival
2Opening the homepage sets 2 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
No consent tool detected
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.
6 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 6 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
