Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
2.4 s · 611 KiB17 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (611 KiB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.4 s · 921 KiBAbout 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
46/100Your 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 KiB13 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 msalia-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 msrediem.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 ms6 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 msluckylabs.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 KiB8 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Font display
150 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 150 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
29 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 29 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Reduce unused CSS
25 KiBAbout 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.

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
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)

SEO
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
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
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
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

Security and trust
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 yearsdedcool.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
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
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.
