Speed

9 to fix73
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.1 s

    10 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.

  • Main-thread work: 4.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 4.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 728 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Improve image delivery

    500 ms · 594 KiB

    19 images could be 594 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 500 ms faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 73

    73/100

    Your mobile performance score is 73. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    500 ms · 191 KiB

    About 191 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 500 ms faster on a phone.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Klaviyo, Shopify and 9gtb.com and others), adding 1.7 MB and 292 ms of main-thread time.

  • 2,320 HTML elements

    The page has 2,320 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Shopify adds 72 ms

    72 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 72 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.

  • Klaviyo adds 108 ms

    108 ms

    Klaviyo costs a phone 108 ms of main-thread work and 307 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

    150 ms · 40 KiB

    40 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    111 KiB

    14 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (111 KiB).

  • 3 long tasks on the main thread

    3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 88 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    19 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 19 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    17 KiB

    About 17 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    6 KiB

    6 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

    4 KiB

    4 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 12 ms

    12 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 12 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix67
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 7.8 s

    7.8 s

    Your largest element takes 7.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 8.3 s

    8.3 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 8.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 3.7 s

    3.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 3.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.8 s

    1.8 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 10 images without width and height

    10 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • Not enough real-visitor data yet

    Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

2 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.056

    0.056

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.056, good is under 0.1).

  • Total Blocking Time: 22 ms

    22 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 22 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

2 to fix69
  • Page weight: 6.1 MB in 299 requests

    6.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 6.1 MB in 299 requests on a phone: media 3.1 MB (2), images 1.1 MB (51) and other files 877 KiB (136). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    Hero-Mobile-Base_Layer.jpg 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).

  • 4 images below the first screen load straight away

    4 images further down the page (156 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 1.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.73 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.73 g of CO₂e: 207.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

4 to fixGoogle 9194
  • 15 tap targets too small

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

  • 5 images without alt text

    5 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • 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.

  • 2 form fields without a label

    2 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h4, h1 → h5 and h1 → 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 54 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 4 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

5 to fixGoogle 8571
  • No meta description

    No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • Title is short (6 characters)

    Your title is only 6 characters: “Brilly”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • 4 H1 headlines

    There are 4 <h1> headlines (“”, “You deserve a bra that keeps up with you.” and “Brilly Essential Bra”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • Structured data has 1 problem

    Structured data found (Organization, ProductGroup and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “Organization: sameAs is an empty list”.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 28 internal links, 0 external

    The homepage links to 28 pages on brilly.co and 0 external pages.

3 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://brilly.co/.

  • robots.txt in place

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

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://brilly.co/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

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 (1,844 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

4 to fix68
  • 1 page without a title

    https://brilly.co/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.

  • 1 linked page hidden from search

    https://brilly.co/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

  • 7 pages without a meta description

    https://brilly.co/pages/ads, https://brilly.co/customer_authentication/redirect, https://brilly.co/pages/how-to-wear, https://brilly.co/collections/all, https://brilly.co/pages/science and https://brilly.co/policies/privacy-policy and 1 other have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 4 pages without an H1

    https://brilly.co/customer_authentication/redirect, https://brilly.co/pages/how-to-wear, https://brilly.co/pages/wholesale-and-partnerships and https://brilly.co/pages/accessibility-statement have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 1 page slow to respond

    https://brilly.co/products/bra took over 3 s to send its HTML from our server.

  • 10 internal pages checked

    We fetched 10 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

3 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 10 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 9285
  • 10 small tap targets

    10 of 31 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 6 JavaScript errors while loading

    6 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Refused to apply style from 'https://brilly.co/cdn/shop/t/3/assets/swiper-bundle.min.css?v=6007' because its MIME type …”.

  • 1 distorted image

    1 image is displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so it looks stretched or squashed.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix86
  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: a star rating. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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.

  • About 1,149 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,149 words of visible text.

5 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “JOIN THE WAITLIST”.

  • 9 calls to action

    The homepage has 9 calls to action, for example “SHOP”, “Buy now” and “Buy Now”.

  • 5 short forms

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

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Microsoft Clarity.

  • Risk reducer mentioned

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

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 4 trackers load before any consent

    4

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

  • 14 cookies set on arrival

    14

    Opening the homepage sets 14 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.

  • 29 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 29 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Security, domain, email and software versions

The security, domain and email checks, software and plugin versions, and any app with a known security problem are visible only to people at brilly.co, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.

Apps on your store

Your storefront loads 4 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.

Apps your storefront loads
