Speed
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (vitals.app, 506.io and Klaviyo and others), adding 9.7 MB and 503 ms of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 88
88/100Your mobile performance score is 88. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Shopify adds 54 ms
54 msShopify costs a phone 54 ms of main-thread work and 8.6 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.
Reduce unused JavaScript
462 KiBAbout 462 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Render-blocking requests
450 ms3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.
vitals.app adds 164 ms
164 msvitals.app costs a phone 164 ms of main-thread work and 396 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.
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 147 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
92 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 92 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
82 KiB10 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (82 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
30 KiBAbout 30 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Minify JavaScript
14 KiB14 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.
Improve image delivery
5 KiB1 image could be 5 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

Core Web Vitals
Time to Interactive: 10.0 s

Speed Index: 4.1 s
4.1 sVisually, the page fills in at 4.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 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.

Largest content (LCP) got 13% faster for real visitors
-13%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.2 s to 1.0 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
Page weight: 11.2 MB in 236 requests
11.2 MBYour homepage downloads 11.2 MB in 236 requests on a phone: media 8.4 MB (4), scripts 1.4 MB (111) and other files 745 KiB (88). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
5 images in older formats
5 images (220 KiB) are 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 3.2 g of CO₂ per visit
3.16 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.16 g of CO₂e: 379.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
41 text elements with low contrast
41 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
16 tap targets too small
16 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (6 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
5 links without text
5 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 19 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
47 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 51 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 4 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is short (13 characters)
Your title is only 13 characters: “Clingy Fibers”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
11 H1 headlines
There are 11 <h1> headlines (“LET’S STICK TOGETHER”, “SHOP THE RANGE” and “Why Clingy”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
42 internal links, 10 external
The homepage links to 42 pages on clingyfibers.com and 10 external pages.
5 checks passed
Meta description: 89 characters
Your meta description is 89 characters: “Meet Clingy. Your new bestie for thicker looking hair with a simple sprinkle application.”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://clingyfibers.com/en-us.
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://clingyfibers.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
No Organization structured data
There is no Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants have no machine-readable facts about who runs the site: its name, logo, profiles and contact details.
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 (1,023 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://clingyfibers.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
3 pages share a title
https://clingyfibers.com/en-us, / and https://clingyfibers.com/pages/clingy-fibers all use the title “Clingy Fibers”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
3 pages without a meta description
https://clingyfibers.com/pages/clingy-fibers, https://clingyfibers.com/en-us/blogs/articles and https://clingyfibers.com/en-us/collections/all have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
3 links to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 3 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example /, whose canonical is https://clingyfibers.com/en-us. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 20 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

Content and conversion
Thin social proof

Security, domain, email and software versions
