Speed

8 to fix69
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.3 s

    11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.3 s.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    600 ms · 499 KiB

    About 499 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 69

    69/100

    Your mobile performance score is 69. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Clarity and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 1.9 MB and 744 ms of main-thread time.

  • Main-thread work: 3.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Shopify adds 211 ms

    211 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 211 ms of main-thread work and 740 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 179 ms

    179 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 179 ms of main-thread work and 513 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.

  • vitals.app adds 88 ms

    88 ms

    vitals.app costs a phone 88 ms of main-thread work and 349 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.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    270 ms · 65 KiB

    About 65 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 270 ms faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    150 ms · 90 KiB

    4 images could be 90 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.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 29 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 29 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Minify CSS

    120 ms · 13 KiB

    13 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • 6 long tasks on the main thread

    6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 113 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    77 KiB

    13 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (77 KiB).

  • 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.

  • Server response: 16 ms

    16 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 16 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 3.7 MB in 472 requests

    3.7 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.7 MB in 472 requests on a phone: scripts 1.7 MB (211), other files 1.1 MB (208) and fonts 336 KiB (10). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.03 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.03 g of CO₂e: 124.2 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

5 to fixGoogle 8393
  • 1 button without a name

    1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • Images must have alternative text (1 element)

    Images must have alternative text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • Links look like plain text

    1 link inside paragraphs relies on colour alone to stand out.

  • 3 links without text

    3 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • 1 form field without a label

    1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 50 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: 50 passed and 5 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

Google 92100
  • 42 internal links, 18 external

    The homepage links to 42 pages on bakeupbeauty.com and 18 external pages.

8 checks passed
  • Meta description: 143 characters

    Your meta description is 143 characters: “Tarantulash mascara and buildable eyeshadow palettes from celebrity makeup artist Jo Baker. Vegan, cruelty-free, made w…”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://bakeupbeauty.com/.

    Structured data found: Organization and WebSite.

  • Open Graph tags complete

    Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.

  • XML sitemap found

AI search readiness

100
4 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.

  • Organization data: 5 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles) and description; contact details would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (337 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://bakeupbeauty.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 2 pages without a meta description

    https://bakeupbeauty.com/policies/privacy-policy and https://bakeupbeauty.com/policies/terms-of-service have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 page with very little text

    https://bakeupbeauty.com/pages/contact has under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 18 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

Google 96100
3 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    29 of 31 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

4 to fix69
  • 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.

  • 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 295 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 295 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: “SHOP ALL” and “BUY NOW”.

  • 5 calls to action

    The homepage has 5 calls to action, for example “SHOP ALL”, “BUY NOW” and “Subscribe”.

  • 2 short forms

    2 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Microsoft Clarity.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 8 trackers load before any consent

    8

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel and 3 mores (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.

  • 28 cookies set on arrival

    28

    Opening the homepage sets 28 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.

  • 42 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 42 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Security, domain, email and software versions
