apoella.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.7 s · 501 KiBAbout 501 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.
Main-thread work: 5.5 s
A phone's processor spends 5.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
3,056 HTML elements
The page has 3,056 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Clarity and Shopify and others), adding 1.1 MB and 1.0 s of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 52
52/100Your mobile performance score is 52. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Google Tag Manager adds 484 ms
484 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 484 ms of main-thread work and 360 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.
7 long tasks on the main thread
7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 286 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Clarity adds 255 ms
255 msClarity costs a phone 255 ms of main-thread work and 28 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.
Shopify adds 102 ms
102 msShopify costs a phone 102 ms of main-thread work and 433 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 150 KiB19 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (150 KiB).
Render-blocking requests
250 ms7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 250 ms.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Reduce unused CSS
20 KiBAbout 20 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Improve image delivery
10 KiB2 images could be 10 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
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.
Minify JavaScript
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

381 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 381 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.6 MB in 260 requests
2.6 MBYour homepage downloads 2.6 MB in 260 requests on a phone: scripts 1.0 MB (55), other files 955 KiB (160) and images 493 KiB (34). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit
0.74 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.74 g of CO₂e: 89.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
Malformed lists
Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.
3 images without alt text
3 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
2 form fields without a label
2 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings should not be empty (1 element)
Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
48 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: 48 passed and 7 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
2 H1 headlines
There are 2 <h1> headlines (“” and “Apoella Lifestyle Beach Concept Stores”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Meta description is long (276 characters)
Your meta description is 276 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
Structured data has 3 problems
Structured data found (BreadcrumbList and Organization) but with 3 problems, for example “Organization: url is not an absolute URL ("apoella.com")”.
3 links with vague text
3 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
568 internal links, 8 external
The homepage links to 568 pages on apoella.com and 8 external pages.
5 checks passed

AI search readiness
4 checks passed

Organization data: 6 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,849 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
3 pages without a meta description
/collections/athleisure-collection, /collections/beach-collection and /collections/resort-collection have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

Security and trust

No Permissions-Policy
No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.
Deprecated X-XSS-Protection
X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.

7 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (apoella.com).
Valid certificate (55 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for apoella.com and is valid for another 55 days.
Protected from clickjacking
X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.
Content-Security-Policy set
A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
http:// redirects to https
http://apoella.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2 and HTTP/3

All 44 links work
All 44 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 4 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
apoella.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
apoella.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 15 years old
15 yearsapoella.com was registered in Apr 2011 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Apr 2028
apoella.com is registered until Apr 2028.
Content and conversion
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
No phone number on the homepage
A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 79 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
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 opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
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 926 words of copy
The homepage carries about 926 words of visible text.
4 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Learn more”.
10 calls to action
The homepage has 10 calls to action, for example “Subscribe”, “Shop By Brand ( A - C )” and “Shop By Brand ( D - L )”.
6 short forms
6 short forms (2 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Microsoft Clarity.
Email authentication
No SPF record
apoella.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.
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be apoella.com is still delivered. Add a report address, check the reports, then move to quarantine.
Email authentication score: 35/100
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.
1 checks passed
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “k2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
