Speed
Mobile performance score: 88
88/100Your mobile performance score is 88. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
750 ms2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 750 ms.
2,652 HTML elements
The page has 2,652 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Shopify adds 1 ms
1 msShopify costs a phone 1 ms of main-thread work and 400 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
99 KiB6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (99 KiB).
7 third-party services on the page
7 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Fonts, Shopify and JSDelivr CDN and others), adding 649 KiB and 3 ms of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
42 KiB4 images could be 42 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Reduce unused CSS
21 KiBAbout 21 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.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 0.4 s
A phone's processor spends 0.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 37 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 11 ms
11 msYour server sent the HTML in 11 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Images and page weight
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
17_SinglesDay_Homepage_ENG_mobiel.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
0.44 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.44 g of CO₂e: 53.0 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: 1.6 MB in 70 requests
1.6 MBYour homepage downloads 1.6 MB in 70 requests on a phone: scripts 778 KiB (26), images 530 KiB (29) and HTML 120 KiB (1). 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
10 tap targets too small
10 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
Scrollable region must have keyboard access (2 elements)
Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
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.
Links must have discernible text (1 element)
Links must have discernible text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
2 images without alt text
2 images have 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)
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.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
47 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: 47 passed and 7 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is short (24 characters)
Your title is only 24 characters: “Clay And Glow ® Skincare”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
2 H1 headlines
There are 2 <h1> headlines (“Clay And Glow Skincare” and “Over 500.000+ people use Clay And Glow”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Meta description is long (249 characters)
Your meta description is 249 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
191 internal links, 10 external
The homepage links to 191 pages on clayandglow.com and 10 external pages.
5 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://clayandglow.com/.

AI search readiness

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

llms.txt published
The site publishes https://clayandglow.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
