Speed

12 to fix46
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    2.4 s · 611 KiB

    17 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (611 KiB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.4 s · 921 KiB

    About 921 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.4 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 46

    46/100

    Your mobile performance score is 46. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 7.1 s

    A phone's processor spends 7.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 3,649 HTML elements

    The page has 3,649 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (alia-prod.com, rediem.io and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 2.1 MB and 1.7 s of main-thread time.

  • Improve image delivery

    300 ms · 510 KiB

    13 images could be 510 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • alia-prod.com adds 588 ms

    588 ms

    alia-prod.com costs a phone 588 ms of main-thread work and 442 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.

  • rediem.io adds 374 ms

    374 ms

    rediem.io costs a phone 374 ms of main-thread work and 607 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.

  • Render-blocking requests

    400 ms

    6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 400 ms.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 253 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • luckylabs.io adds 99 ms

    99 ms

    luckylabs.io costs a phone 99 ms of main-thread work and 394 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.

  • Minify JavaScript

    150 ms · 8 KiB

    8 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Font display

    150 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 150 ms).

  • Legacy JavaScript

    29 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 29 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    25 KiB

    About 25 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • 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.

  • Forced reflow

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

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 16 ms

    16 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 16 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 9.8 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 808 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) got 12% slower for real visitors

    +12%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 165 ms to 187 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -9%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.5 s to 1.4 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

8 checks passed

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.4 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 5.4 MB in 397 requests

    5.4 MB

    Your homepage downloads 5.4 MB in 397 requests on a phone: scripts 2.1 MB (134), images 1.7 MB (50) and other files 983 KiB (174). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 2 images below the first screen load straight away

    2 images further down the page (55 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 1.5 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.53 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.53 g of CO₂e: 184.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

8 to fixGoogle 8992
  • 5 text elements with low contrast

    5 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.

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 6 links without text

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

  • Links look like plain text

    1 link inside paragraphs relies on colour alone to stand out.

  • Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (5 elements)

    Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 5 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • 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), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 113 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 52 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 59 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 52 passed and 7 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 9284
  • Title is short (27 characters)

    Your title is only 27 characters: “Scents to Live In – DedCool”. 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.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 1 link with vague text

    1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

  • 222 internal links, 4 external

    The homepage links to 222 pages on dedcool.com and 4 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Meta description: 140 characters

    Your meta description is 140 characters: “DedCool introduces layerable fragrances to everyday life through skin, laundry care, pet care and home. Vegan, genderle…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “For Friend-ful Gatherings”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://dedcool.com/.

  • 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://dedcool.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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 (1,770 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

4 to fix68
  • 1 page without a title

    /customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.

  • 1 linked page hidden from search

    /customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

  • 3 pages without a meta description

    /customer_authentication/redirect, /collections/holiday-shop and /collections/travel-sizes have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 4 pages without an H1

    /customer_authentication/redirect, /collections/holiday-shop, /collections/travel-sizes and /collections/best-sellers have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 56 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

3 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    4 pages of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 9671
  • 2 broken images

    2 images failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=187261004&tm=gtm002&Ver=2&mid=c08e5652-bfd9-4e14-8025-006a7bdab777&bo=1&sid=7e43aad0dabe11f18811d970b27757c8&vid=7e43dea0dabe11f1b0e42b5820410536&vids=1&msclkid=N&pi=9.

  • 10 small tap targets

    10 of 39 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 6 JavaScript errors while loading

    6 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to execute 'observe' on 'ResizeObserver': parameter 1 is not of type 'Element'.”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

100
  • Short HSTS lifetime

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

  • 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 (dedcool.com).

  • Valid certificate (46 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for dedcool.com and is valid for another 46 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://dedcool.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 44 links work

    All 44 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 4 external) answered without errors; 2 did not answer within 5 s.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    dedcool.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

    dedcool.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 11 years old

    11 years

    dedcool.com was registered in Sep 2015 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Sep 2030

    dedcool.com is registered until Sep 2030.

Content and conversion

2 to fix83
  • 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 700 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 700 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “The Holiday Shop is Open” and “HOLIDAY SHOP”.

  • 32 calls to action

    The homepage has 32 calls to action, for example “Log in or Join”, “The Holiday Shop is Open” and “The Holiday Shop”.

  • 9 short forms

    9 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 191 testimonial or review blocks, a star rating and 2 trust badges.

Email authentication

2 to fix60
  • DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be dedcool.com is still delivered. Add a report address, check the reports, then move to quarantine.

  • SPF does not block other senders (no all)

    Your SPF record doesn't end in -all or ~all, so it doesn't stop other servers sending as you: “v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com include:mailgun.org~all”.

  • Email authentication score: 60/100

    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.

1 checks passed
  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “k1”, “s1” and “s2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 8 trackers load before any consent

    8

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

  • 43 cookies set on arrival

    43

    Opening the homepage sets 43 cookies, 2 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • No consent tool detected

    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.

  • 63 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 63 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Apps on your store

Your storefront loads 11 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.

None of the apps your storefront loads is on the list of apps with a known security problem.
