codexlabs.ca website review

14 images could be 631 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 650 ms faster on a phone.

Your mobile performance score is 69. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

About 84 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.

4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 650 ms.

About 63 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

The page has 2,071 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 200 ms).

11 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 141 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Stamped.io and Shopify and others), adding 233 KiB and 96 ms of main-thread time.

11 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (19 KiB).

Polyfills for old browsers add 7 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

Your largest element takes 9.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.

The page becomes fully interactive after 9.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 5.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

The first text or image appears after 2.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

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.

Your homepage downloads 13.7 MB in 143 requests on a phone: media 11.2 MB (4), images 1.2 MB (35) and other files 612 KiB (55). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example eczema-lp-facial-oil.webp at 600 px wide, shown at 149 px. Resized copies would save about 83 KiB.

2 images (186 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.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.87 g of CO₂e: 464.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

Your meta description is 281 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

The homepage links to 275 pages on codexlabs.ca and 26 external pages.

https://www.codexlabs.ca/collections/facial-cleansers-exfoliators-and-masks, https://www.codexlabs.ca/collections/face-body-moisturizers-creams, https://www.codexlabs.ca/collections/facial-serums-creams-and-oils, https://www.codexlabs.ca/collections/soap-bars-and-bath-soaks and https://www.codexlabs.ca/collections/gift-cards-and-events took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 59 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“CSS appearance value `slider-vertical` is not standardized and will be removed.”).

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

No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

The homepage carries about 645 words of visible text.

Opening the homepage sets 5 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

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.

Loading the homepage contacts 11 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
