curaloe.co.za website review

8 third-party services load with your homepage (alia-prod.com, growave.io and Shopify and others), adding 1.3 MB and 888 ms of main-thread time.

Your mobile performance score is 88. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.

alia-prod.com costs a phone 381 ms of main-thread work and 301 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.

A phone's processor spends 4.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

About 273 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

The page has 1,603 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

Shopify costs a phone 120 ms of main-thread work and 332 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.

About 29 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 290 ms faster on a phone.

6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 204 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

8 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (187 KiB).

6 images could be 178 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

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

Polyfills for old browsers add 50 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.

Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

The page becomes fully interactive after 13.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Real visitors wait 201 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

Visually, the page fills in at 5.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Your largest element takes 3.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

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

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.8 s to 1.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 3.0 MB in 342 requests on a phone: scripts 1.3 MB (163), other files 872 KiB (143) and images 687 KiB (20). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.86 g of CO₂e: 102.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

4 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

13 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

The homepage links to 173 pages on curaloe.co.za and 5 external pages.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 58 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

15 of 35 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

Social proof on the homepage: 1 testimonial or review block. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

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.

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 474 words of visible text.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel (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 17 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 34 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
