Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.5 MB
4.5 MBYour homepage downloads 4.5 MB on a phone, 992 KiB of it images (21%). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
HP_Hero_DG2026_Mobile_v01.jpg 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).
1 image far larger than shown
57 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example Home_CategoryNav_Lotion_v02.jpg at 389 px wide, shown at 100 px. Resized copies would save about 57 KiB.
About 1.3 g of CO₂ per visit
1.28 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.28 g of CO₂e: 153.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Accessibility
2 text elements with low contrast
2 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Malformed lists
Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.
8 images without alt text
8 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (30 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 30 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
4 form fields without a label
4 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (1 element)
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3 and h2 → h4), 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 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 6 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
2 H1 headlines
There are 2 <h1> headlines (“” and “Dew More With Less”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
No XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at https://coola.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
108 internal links, 7 external
The homepage links to 108 pages on coola.com and 7 external pages.
4 checks passed
Meta description: 143 characters
Your meta description is 143 characters: “Suncare that feels like skincare. COOLA sunscreen is made with organic ingredients and designed for daily wear. Born in…”.
Title: 43 characters
Your title is a healthy 43 characters: “COOLA® Sunscreen & Skincare – Feel-Good SPF”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://coola.com/.
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.
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.
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.
2 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 (725 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
Your server turned our page checks away
15 pages we tried to fetch timed out or refused automated requests, so these checks couldn't run. Some firewalls do this to every bot, including search engine crawlers they don't recognise.
Best practices
2 broken images
2 images failed to load on a phone, for example https://mediacdn.espssl.com/10305/Shared/_GXP/Popup/logo.svg.
38 small tap targets
38 of 86 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
Short HSTS lifetime
HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.
1 link through redirect chains
1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://instagram.com/COOLA.
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 (coola.com).
Valid certificate (49 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE2 verifies for coola.com and is valid for another 49 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://coola.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 47 links work
All 47 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 7 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
coola.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
coola.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 23 years old
23 yearscoola.com was registered in Jan 2003 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Jan 2031
coola.com is registered until Jan 2031.
Content and conversion
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 7 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 675 words of copy
The homepage carries about 675 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: “Shop” and “Shop All”.
16 calls to action
The homepage has 16 calls to action, for example “Shop”, “Shop by Category” and “Shop All”.
16 short forms
16 short forms (4 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.
Email authentication
Email authentication score: 90/100
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.
SPF with a strict ending (-all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 include:shops.shopify.com include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:spf.mandrillapp.com exists:%{i}._spf.inkyph…”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”, “k2” and “mandrill”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
8 trackers load before any consent
8Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel and Microsoft Ads and 3 mores (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.
31 cookies set on arrival
31Opening the homepage sets 31 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

53 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 53 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
Apps on your store
