dotandkey.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Main-thread work: 10.0 s
A phone's processor spends 10.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Mobile performance score: 49
49/100Your mobile performance score is 49. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
4,998 HTML elements
The page has 4,998 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.4 MBAbout 2.4 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (shopflo.co, Facebook and WebEngage and others), adding 3.3 MB and 1.5 s of main-thread time.
Render-blocking requests
750 ms6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 750 ms.
shopflo.co adds 456 ms
456 msshopflo.co costs a phone 456 ms of main-thread work and 2.0 MB 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
588 KiB17 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (588 KiB).
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 376 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Facebook adds 275 ms
275 msFacebook costs a phone 275 ms of main-thread work and 286 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.
Shopify adds 65 ms
65 msShopify costs a phone 65 ms of main-thread work and 388 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.
Reduce unused CSS
239 KiBAbout 239 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Improve image delivery
48 KiB4 images could be 48 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Legacy JavaScript
36 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 36 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify JavaScript
6 KiB6 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 15.2 MB in 572 requests
15.2 MBYour homepage downloads 15.2 MB in 572 requests on a phone: media 5.8 MB (2), images 3.9 MB (184) and scripts 3.6 MB (135). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
Banner_Mob_c80fe41c-c277-4cdb-a135-343928f3e8aa.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 4.3 g of CO₂ per visit
4.32 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 4.32 g of CO₂e: 518.3 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
48 text elements with low contrast
48 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
10 tap targets too small
10 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
2 images without alt text
2 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
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.
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.
4 links without text
4 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (6 elements)
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (2 elements).

46 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 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.
1 link crawlers can't follow
1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.
263 internal links, 27 external
The homepage links to 263 pages on dotandkey.com and 27 external pages.

AI search readiness
Opted out of AI training for 3 crawlers
robots.txt blocks GPTBot, Google-Extended and CCBot, which collect pages to train models. That's a legitimate choice and doesn't by itself stop the site appearing in AI answers, which the crawlers above handle.
4 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.
Organization data: 5 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles) and contact details; description would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (5,784 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
4 pages without a meta description
/collections/dark-spots-1, /collections/acne-dark-spots, /collections/shop-by-concern and /collections/dragon-fruit have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
2 pages without an H1
/collections/shop-all and /collections/shop-by-concern have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
