creativeessences.com website review

Your mobile performance score is 71. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

ucarecdn.com costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 776 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.

9 images could be 201 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.

About 26 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

6 third-party services load with your homepage (cloudfront.net, Shopify and Google Fonts and others), adding 881 KiB and 38 ms of main-thread time.

6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (17 KiB).

Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

About 14 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

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 6.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Contract Manufacturer Skin Care • OTC Drugs • Supplements L…”.

Visually, the page fills in at 6.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

The page becomes fully interactive after 6.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

4 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

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.

2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example Target_logo.svg.png at 1,541 px wide, shown at 54 px. Resized copies would save about 81 KiB.

4 images further down the page (157 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.48 g of CO₂e: 58.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

19 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

4 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

Headings skip levels (h1 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

Your title is 69 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Creative Essences | Skin Care, Supplements, OTC Contract Manufacturer”.

There are 13 <h1> headlines (“<img src="//www.creativeessences.com/cdn/shop/fil…”, “Contract Manufacturer” and “2023 Inclusion”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

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

The homepage links to 35 pages on creativeessences.com and 1 external page.

We fetched 8 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

4 of 11 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://www.creativeessences.com/account/login.

No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.

There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

creativeessences.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.

No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

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

Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

The homepage carries about 267 words of visible text.

We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.

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.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (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.

Opening the homepage sets 7 cookies (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 10 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
