avon.uk.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
3,021 HTML elements
The page has 3,021 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Mobile performance score: 73
73/100Your mobile performance score is 73. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
900 ms4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 900 ms.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Clarity and Optanon and others), adding 1.6 MB and 344 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
150 ms · 250 KiBAbout 250 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 3.5 s
A phone's processor spends 3.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Shopify adds 99 ms
99 msShopify costs a phone 99 ms of main-thread work and 1.2 MB 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 · 80 KiB8 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (80 KiB).
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 52 KiB7 images could be 52 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Minify JavaScript
150 ms · 11 KiB11 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
6 long tasks on the main thread
6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 139 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
55 KiBAbout 55 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Legacy JavaScript
26 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 26 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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: 3.5 MB in 275 requests
3.5 MBYour homepage downloads 3.5 MB in 275 requests on a phone: images 1.5 MB (57), other files 1.1 MB (160) and scripts 696 KiB (46). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit
0.99 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.99 g of CO₂e: 118.2 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
Positive tabindex
2 elements have a tabindex above 0, which scrambles the keyboard order.
1 text element with low contrast
1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
57 images without alt text
57 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.
15 form fields without a label
15 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
1 checks passed
50 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 54 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 4 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

3 checks passed

DNSSEC is on

Registered until May 2031
uk.com is registered until May 2031.
Content and conversion
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
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.
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.
About 399 words of copy
The homepage carries about 399 words of visible text.
5 checks passed

Risk reducer mentioned
A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.

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.
Email authentication score: 40/100
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.
