Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
3.3 s · 880 KiBAbout 880 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.3 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
2.1 s · 720 KiB40 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (720 KiB).
Mobile performance score: 41
41/100Your mobile performance score is 41. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 6.9 s
A phone's processor spends 6.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.4 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 (Osano CMP, Google Tag Manager and Klaviyo and others), adding 3.1 MB and 1.7 s of main-thread time.
Render-blocking requests
450 ms8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.
Legacy JavaScript
350 ms · 84 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 84 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 350 ms faster on a phone.
Shopify adds 199 ms
199 msShopify costs a phone 199 ms of main-thread work and 1.7 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.
Osano CMP adds 333 ms
333 msOsano CMP costs a phone 333 ms of main-thread work and 87 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.
Google Tag Manager adds 293 ms
293 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 293 ms of main-thread work and 330 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.
2,897 HTML elements
The page has 2,897 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Klaviyo adds 206 ms
206 msKlaviyo costs a phone 206 ms of main-thread work and 356 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.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 216 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Minify JavaScript
150 ms · 16 KiB16 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Improve image delivery
34 KiB2 images could be 34 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Reduce unused CSS
32 KiBAbout 32 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Duplicated JavaScript
10 KiB10 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.
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 CSS
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

About 1.7 g of CO₂ per visit
1.66 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.66 g of CO₂e: 199.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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
79 text elements with low contrast
79 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (3 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 3 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.
27 links without text
27 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 41 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
48 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 48 passed and 4 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (66 characters)
Your title is 66 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Babe Original Cosmetics | Eyelash Serums, Conditioners, & Mascaras”.
4 H1 headlines
There are 4 <h1> headlines (“”, “GET FREE MASCARA& LASH CONDITIONER” and “CLOUD 9”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Meta description is long (283 characters)
Your meta description is 283 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
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.

The homepage links to 136 pages on babelash.com and 10 external pages.

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.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
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 719 words of copy
The homepage carries about 719 words of visible text.
5 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen

25 short forms

2Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Klaviyo and The Trade Desk (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (Osano) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.
6 cookies set on arrival
6Opening the homepage sets 6 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).
32 other companies contacted

Security, domain, email and software versions
