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
Mobile performance score: 37
37/100Your mobile performance score is 37 (desktop: 57). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 9.8 s
A phone's processor spends 9.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 5.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Shopify and Facebook and others), adding 2.3 MB and 2.5 s of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
998 KiB18 images could be 998 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Reduce unused JavaScript
946 KiBAbout 946 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Google Tag Manager adds 846 ms
846 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 846 ms of main-thread work and 481 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
50 ms · 704 KiB32 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (704 KiB).
Shopify adds 470 ms
470 msShopify costs a phone 470 ms of main-thread work and 606 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.
Render-blocking requests
450 ms15 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 396 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Facebook adds 305 ms
305 msFacebook costs a phone 305 ms of main-thread work and 225 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.
2,313 HTML elements
The page has 2,313 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
cookiepro.com adds 190 ms
190 mscookiepro.com costs a phone 190 ms of main-thread work and 319 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.
Minify JavaScript
250 ms · 33 KiB33 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Minify CSS
250 ms · 2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Legacy JavaScript
52 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 52 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Reduce unused CSS
34 KiBAbout 34 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 5.3 MB in 310 requests
5.3 MBYour homepage downloads 5.3 MB in 310 requests on a phone: scripts 2.4 MB (131), images 1.4 MB (26) and other files 1.0 MB (113). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
FW26-OCT-HOMEPAGE-TopLeft.png is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
3 images far larger than shown
57 KiB3 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example F6AC446FUVM_DAME_FAUVEMULTI_0001.jpg at 684 px wide, shown at 194 px. Resized copies would save about 57 KiB.
About 1.5 g of CO₂ per visit
1.51 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.51 g of CO₂e: 181.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Accessibility
All page content should be contained by landmarks (9 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 9 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
22 links without text
22 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
5 form fields without a label
5 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (6 elements).
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 50 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
46 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 47 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 1 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
1 link with vague text
1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.
171 internal links, 6 external
The homepage links to 171 pages on apparis.com and 6 external pages.
6 checks passed
Meta description: 109 characters
Your meta description is 109 characters: “High quality, elevated-conscious essentials for your wardrobe. Shop faux fur outerwear, accessories and home.”.

3 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 (746 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
10 pages without a meta description
/collections/fw26-second-skin-view-all, /collections/fw26-bridal, /collections/shop-all-2026, /collections/best-sellers-2025, /collections/fw26-play-shaved-mink and /collections/fw26-play-kids and 4 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
3 pages without an H1
/pages/fw26-bridal-story, /pages/fw26-second-skin-story-page and /pages/fw26-apparis-play-collection have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

1 link through redirect chains
1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://apparis.com/customer_authentication/redirect?locale=en®ion_country=US.
No Referrer-Policy

Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (apparis.com).
Valid certificate (62 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE2 verifies for apparis.com and is valid for another 62 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://apparis.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2 and HTTP/3
The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.
All 45 links work
All 45 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 5 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
Domain expires in 13 days
apparis.com is registered until Nov 2026. If it lapses, the site and its email stop working and someone else can buy the name. Renew it, and turn on auto-renew.
No CAA record
apparis.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
apparis.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.
1 checks passed
Domain is 13 years old
13 yearsapparis.com was registered in Nov 2012 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
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.
Only about 238 words
The homepage has only about 238 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
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.
4 checks passed
14 calls to action

5 short forms
5 short forms (2 fields at most) are right on the homepage.

Analytics detected: Google Analytics, Meta Pixel and Microsoft Clarity.
Direct contact links
Visitors can reach you directly: 0 phone links and 2 email links.
Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be apparis.com is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.
Email authentication score: 70/100
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.
2 checks passed
SPF in place (~all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 a mx include:_spf.elasticemail.com ~all”.
DKIM signing found
