Speed

6 to fix59
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.0 s · 177 KiB

    About 177 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.0 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 59

    59/100

    Your mobile performance score is 59 (desktop: 89). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Render-blocking requests

    700 ms

    5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 700 ms.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Klaviyo and Google CDN and others), adding 1.4 MB and 418 ms of main-thread time.

  • Shopify adds 256 ms

    256 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 256 ms of main-thread work and 1.0 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.

  • Main-thread work: 2.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 740 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Improve image delivery

    50 ms · 105 KiB

    6 images could be 105 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 50 ms faster on a phone.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    100 ms · 18 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 18 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 100 ms faster on a phone.

  • 5 long tasks on the main thread

    5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 72 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    14 KiB

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

  • Phones get a much slower page than desktops

    Desktop scores 89 but mobile only 59. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    10 KiB

    About 10 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 11 ms

    11 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 11 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 15.9 s

    15.9 s

    Your largest element takes 15.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 16.2 s

    16.2 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 16.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 4.8 s

    4.8 s

    The first text or image appears after 4.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 7.2 s

    7.2 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 7.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Tap response (INP) got 16% slower for real visitors

    +16%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 87 ms to 101 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -1%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.2 s to 1.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

8 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

  • Real-user LCP: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    Real visitors wait 1.7 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 103 ms

    103 ms

    Real visitors wait 103 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.01

    0.01

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.01 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.2 s

    1.2 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.2 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 394 ms

    394 ms

    Real visitors wait 394 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

  • Total Blocking Time: 33 ms

    33 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 33 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

2 to fix64
  • Page weight: 30.8 MB in 259 requests

    30.8 MB

    Your homepage downloads 30.8 MB in 259 requests on a phone: media 27.6 MB (3), images 1.1 MB (30) and scripts 832 KiB (103). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    Slider_banner_Mobile_1.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 8.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    8.74 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 8.74 g of CO₂e: 1048.3 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

6 to fixGoogle 8391
  • 8 tap targets too small

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

  • 1 text element with low contrast

    1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • 10 images without alt text

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

  • 26 form fields without a label

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

  • 1 link without text

    1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.

  • ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (7 elements)

    ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 7 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

1 checks passed
  • 44 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: 44 passed and 5 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 8588
  • 2 H1 headlines

    There are 2 <h1> headlines (“img.logo--image { height: auto; width: 65px; bord…” and “Circadia: Innovative Skincare Based on Your Circa…”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • Meta description is long (315 characters)

    Your meta description is 315 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 6 links with vague text

    6 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

  • 111 internal links, 18 external

    The homepage links to 111 pages on circadia.com and 18 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Title: 58 characters

    Your title is a healthy 58 characters: “Circadia: Science & Nature | Advanced Formulas | Education”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Structured data in place

    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

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://circadia.com/sitemap.xml.

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 (1,096 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

4 to fix78
  • 1 linked page hidden from search

    /collections/essentials-regimen-kits is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

  • 12 pages without a meta description

    /pages/signature-facials-bundles, /pages/promotions-page, /pages/real-results, /pages/award-winning-hero-products, /pages/house-of-circadia and /pages/love-letter and 6 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 link to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example /products, whose canonical is /collections. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 14 pages without an H1

    /products, /pages/signature-facials-bundles, /pages/promotions-page, /pages/real-results, /pages/award-winning-hero-products and /pages/house-of-circadia and 8 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 55 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

3 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 7785
  • 6 small tap targets

    6 of 13 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • Deprecated browser APIs

    The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“`<source src>` with a `<picture>` parent is invalid and therefore ignored. Please use `<source srcs…”).

  • 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://circadia.com/cdn/shop/t/69/assets/tiny.content.min.css?v=21124' because its MIME t…”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

1 to fix93
  • 1 broken external link

    1 link to other sites is dead, for example https://www.circadiau.com/products/c2-o2-facial (404).

  • 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.

6 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

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

  • Valid certificate (85 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for circadia.com and is valid for another 85 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://circadia.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.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    circadia.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

    circadia.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 25 years old

    25 years

    circadia.com was registered in Jun 2001 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Jun 2028

    circadia.com is registered until Jun 2028.

Content and conversion

3 to fix75
  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 2 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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.

  • 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 794 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 794 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “LEARN MORE”.

  • 8 calls to action

    The homepage has 8 calls to action, for example “Learn More”, “SHOP NOW” and “Contact Us”.

  • 1 short form

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

Email authentication

85
  • Email authentication score: 85/100

    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.

3 checks passed
  • DMARC policy: quarantine

    DMARC tells receivers to quarantine mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.

  • SPF in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:_spf1.mailgun.org include:_spf2.mailgun.org include:_spf.eu.mailgun.org include:spf-0.secureserver.net i…”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”, “s1” and “s2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 5 trackers load before any consent

    5

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, 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.

  • 11 cookies set on arrival

    11

    Opening the homepage sets 11 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.

  • 23 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 23 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
