Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
3.6 s · 1.1 MBAbout 1.1 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.6 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
2.9 s · 588 KiB39 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (588 KiB).
Render-blocking requests
1.8 s14 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.8 s.
Reduce unused CSS
1.3 s · 262 KiBAbout 262 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.3 s faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 13.5 s
A phone's processor spends 13.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 6.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Mobile performance score: 33
33/100Your mobile performance score is 33. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
3,544 HTML elements
The page has 3,544 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 (Signyfyd, Klaviyo and Hotjar and others), adding 2.7 MB and 2.7 s of main-thread time.
Signyfyd adds 830 ms
830 msSignyfyd costs a phone 830 ms of main-thread work and 264 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.
Improve image delivery
200 ms · 425 KiB6 images could be 425 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.
Klaviyo adds 446 ms
446 msKlaviyo costs a phone 446 ms of main-thread work and 626 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.
Legacy JavaScript
350 ms · 97 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 97 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 350 ms faster on a phone.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 434 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Hotjar adds 411 ms
411 msHotjar costs a phone 411 ms of main-thread work and 72 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.
zotabox.com adds 296 ms
296 mszotabox.com costs a phone 296 ms of main-thread work and 554 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
300 ms · 28 KiB28 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Google Tag Manager adds 228 ms
228 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 228 ms of main-thread work and 380 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 CSS
270 ms · 6 KiB6 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
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.

Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

Images and page weight
Page weight: 7.0 MB in 551 requests
7.0 MBYour homepage downloads 7.0 MB in 551 requests on a phone: scripts 3.3 MB (176), images 1.6 MB (75) and other files 1.4 MB (260). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
BANNERS_DE_RETDAY_1026_mobile.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).
About 2.0 g of CO₂ per visit
1.98 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.98 g of CO₂e: 237.1 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
Hidden but focusable
22 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
4 text elements with low contrast
4 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
4 tap targets too small
4 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (11 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 11 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)
Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
2 links without text
2 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (4 elements).

Every image has alt text
All 199 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
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. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
3 links crawlers can't follow
3 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
212 internal links, 14 external
The homepage links to 212 pages on dermae.com and 14 external pages.
6 checks passed

Your robots.txt lets the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity read the site and cite it in answers.
Organization data: 4 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,003 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
5 pages without a meta description
/collections/best-selling-skin-care, /collections/all-products, /collections/eye-care, /collections/masks and /collections/anti-aging-line have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

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.

Domain and trust
No CAA record
dermae.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
dermae.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

Content and conversion
No call to action on the first screen
On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.
Phone number is not tap-to-call
Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.

DMARC policy: reject
DMARC tells receivers to reject mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.
SPF with a strict ending (-all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 mx include:us._netblocks.mimecast.com include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:shops.shopify.com -all”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “s1”, “s2” and “mandrill”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
