• Page weight: 4.5 MB

  4.5 MB

  Your homepage downloads 4.5 MB on a phone, 1.1 MB of it images (24%). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

• 4 images far larger than shown

  210 KiB

  4 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example WK_19_021126_Homepage_Banner_US_M_WEB_VERSION.jpg at 1,200 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 210 KiB.

• About 1.3 g of CO₂ per visit

  1.28 g

  By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.28 g of CO₂e: 153.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

• 12 tap targets too small

  12 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  Elements (3)

• Hidden but focusable

  8 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.

  Elements (3)

• 1 image without alt text

  1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

• Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)

  All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  Elements (2)

• Title is long (69 characters)

  Your title is 69 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Beginning Boutique USA | The Best Dresses | Prom, Homecoming & Formal”.

  View source

• Meta description is long (282 characters)

  Your meta description is 282 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  View source

• 367 internal links, 11 external

  The homepage links to 367 pages on beginningbotique.com and 11 external pages.

• 11 pages without an H1

  /collections/best-sellers, /collections/sale, /collections/dresses, /pages/shipping-information, /collections/back-in-stock-styles and /collections/best-sellers-new-colors and 5 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

• 15 internal pages checked

  We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 143 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

• 9 small tap targets

  9 of 44 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

• 5 JavaScript errors while loading

  5 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_SOCKET_NOT_CONNECTED”.

• Short HSTS lifetime

  HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

• 1 link through redirect chains

  1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://instagram.com/beginningboutique/.

• No Referrer-Policy

  No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

• 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.

• No security.txt

  There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

• DNSSEC is off

  beginningboutique.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.

• 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 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 675 words of copy

  The homepage carries about 675 words of visible text.

• Urgency cues

  The page uses urgency cues (a countdown or limited-time wording).

• No DMARC policy

  beginningbotique.com has no DMARC record, so nothing tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF or DKIM. Gmail and Yahoo require DMARC from bulk senders.

• No SPF record

  beginningbotique.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.

• 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.

• Domain receives no email

  beginningbotique.com has no MX record, so it receives no email. SPF -all and DMARC reject still matter: they stop others sending mail as you.

• Email authentication score: 0/100

  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.

• 7 trackers load before any consent

  7

  Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel and 2 mores (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (iubenda) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

• 18 cookies set on arrival

  18

  Opening the homepage sets 18 cookies, 2 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

• 60 other companies contacted

  Loading the homepage contacts 60 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
