Speed
Render-blocking requests
950 ms18 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 950 ms.
Improve image delivery
280 KiB9 images could be 280 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
4 third-party services on the page
4 third-party services load with your homepage (Clarity, Shopify and Google Fonts and others), adding 389 KiB and 182 ms of main-thread time.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 6 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 6 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
1 long task on the main thread
1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 75 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused JavaScript
20 KiBAbout 20 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
11 KiB2 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (11 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.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

First Contentful Paint: 1.8 s
1.8 sThe first text or image appears after 1.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.0 MB in 205 requests
2.0 MBYour homepage downloads 2.0 MB in 205 requests on a phone: other files 784 KiB (108), images 682 KiB (14) and scripts 260 KiB (47). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image in older formats
1 image (134 KiB) is JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.
About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit
0.57 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.57 g of CO₂e: 68.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

SEO
No meta description
No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.
Title is short (27 characters)
Your title is only 27 characters: “عطور كاسل | Castle Perfumes”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
No favicon declared
No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.
One H1 headline
Your <h1> is empty.
31 internal links, 4 external
The homepage links to 31 pages on castleperfumes.com and 4 external pages.
4 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://castleperfumes.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: Organization and WebSite.
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://castleperfumes.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)
Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, 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.
2 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.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://castleperfumes.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
2 pages without a meta description
https://castleperfumes.com/collections/all and https://castleperfumes.com/pages/contact have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
2 pages share a meta description
https://castleperfumes.com/products/premium-set and https://castleperfumes.com/products/one-perfume use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
3 links to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 3 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example https://castleperfumes.com/products/%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B9%D8%B1%D8%B6-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A3%D9%82%D9%88%D9%89, whose canonical is https://castleperfumes.com/products/%d8%a7%d9%84%d8%b9%d8%b1%d8%b6-%d8%a7%d9%84%d8%a3%d9%82%d9%88%d9%89. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
1 page without an H1
https://castleperfumes.com/pages/contact has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
10 pages with very little text
https://castleperfumes.com/pages/contact, https://castleperfumes.com/products/premium-set, https://castleperfumes.com/products/%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B9%D8%B1%D8%B6-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A3%D9%82%D9%88%D9%89, https://castleperfumes.com/products/4-%D8%B9%D8%B7%D9%88%D8%B1-%D8%AD%D8%AC%D9%85-110%D9%85%D9%84, https://castleperfumes.com/products/one-perfume and https://castleperfumes.com/products/%D8%B9%D8%B7%D8%B1%D9%8A%D9%86-%D9%88%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AB%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AB-%D9%85%D8%AC%D8%A7%D9%86%D8%A7-110%D9%85%D9%84 and 4 others have 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.
