Speed

1 to fix90
  • Render-blocking requests

    300 ms

    1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 300 ms.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    240 ms · 45 KiB

    About 45 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 240 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    150 ms · 117 KiB

    About 117 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    112 KiB

    4 images could be 112 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • 2 third-party services on the page

    2 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify and sealsubscriptions.com), adding 194 KiB and 62 ms of main-thread time.

  • 2 long tasks on the main thread

    2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 62 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Minify JavaScript

    41 KiB

    41 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 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.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    2 KiB

    3 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (2 KiB).

3 checks passed
  • Mobile performance score: 90

    90/100

    Your mobile performance score is 90. That is in Google's “good” band (90 and up).

  • Main-thread work: 1.9 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 365 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 5 ms

    5 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 5 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

2 to fix87
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 3.6 s

    3.6 s

    Your largest element takes 3.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 4.4 s

    4.4 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 4.4 s. Good is under 3.8 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.

4 checks passed
  • Speed Index: 2.5 s

    2.5 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 2.5 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

  • First Contentful Paint: 0.9 s

    0.9 s

    The first text or image appears after 0.9 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Total Blocking Time: 13 ms

    13 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 13 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

1 to fix97
  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    1_3000x_747c9426-3882-41f1-90ce-7f824ca9d358.png 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).

  • About 0.4 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.42 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.42 g of CO₂e: 51.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • Page weight: 1.5 MB in 140 requests

    1.5 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.5 MB in 140 requests on a phone: other files 722 KiB (80), images 396 KiB (16) and scripts 289 KiB (36). That is a lean page.

  • 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 9795
  • 3 text elements with low contrast

    3 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

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

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (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 (4 elements)

    ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 17 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 45 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 49 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 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 9273
  • 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: “Cilark”. 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, 3 external

    The homepage links to 31 pages on cilark.com and 3 external pages.

4 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://cilark.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://cilark.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
  • No llms.txt

    There is no /llms.txt, a short Markdown guide to your key pages for AI tools (llmstxt.org). It is optional and few AI tools read it yet, so treat it as a cheap extra.

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.

  • Organization data: 4 of 6 facts

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

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (622 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 5 pages without a meta description

    /policies/privacy-policy, /policies/refund-policy, /policies/shipping-policy, /policies/terms-of-service and /policies/subscription-policy have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 5 pages slow to respond

    /policies/privacy-policy, /policies/refund-policy, /policies/shipping-policy, /policies/terms-of-service and /policies/subscription-policy took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

  • 14 internal pages checked

    We fetched 14 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    7 pages of 14 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).

  • 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.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 7 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9687
  • 10 small tap targets

    10 of 22 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 3 JavaScript errors while loading

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

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

100
  • Short HSTS lifetime

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

  • 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.

7 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (cilark.com).

  • Valid certificate (35 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for cilark.com and is valid for another 35 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

    X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.

  • Content-Security-Policy set

    A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://cilark.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2 and HTTP/3

    The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.

  • All 19 links work

    All 19 links checked from your homepage (17 internal, 2 external) answered without errors; 1 did not answer within 5 s.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    cilark.com has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.

  • DNSSEC is off

    cilark.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.

2 checks passed
  • Domain is 1 year old

    1 year

    cilark.com was registered in Mar 2025 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Mar 2027

    cilark.com is registered until Mar 2027.

Content and conversion

3 to fix71
  • No call to action on the first screen

    On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

  • 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.

  • About 517 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 517 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • 3 calls to action

    The homepage has 3 calls to action, for example “Track Your Order”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 14 testimonial or review blocks and a star rating.

  • Risk reducer mentioned

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

Email authentication

2 to fix60
  • DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be cilark.com is still delivered. Add a report address, check the reports, then move to quarantine.

  • 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.

  • Email authentication score: 60/100

    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.

1 checks passed
  • SPF in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:spf.improvmx.com ~all”.

Privacy and tracking

  • 5 cookies set on arrival

    5

    Opening the homepage sets 5 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.

  • 5 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 5 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • No known trackers before consent

    No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).

Apps on your store

Your storefront loads 2 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.

None of the apps your storefront loads is on the list of apps with a known security problem.
