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
Render-blocking requests
1.1 s8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.
4,358 HTML elements
The page has 4,358 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Mobile performance score: 72
72/100Your mobile performance score is 72. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
600 ms · 124 KiB8 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (124 KiB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
300 ms · 155 KiBAbout 155 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 3.8 s
A phone's processor spends 3.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 869 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
7 third-party services on the page
7 third-party services load with your homepage (iubenda, minmaxify.com and shgcdn3.com and others), adding 351 KiB and 261 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 23 KiBAbout 23 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
100 ms · 42 KiB3 images could be 42 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 100 ms faster on a phone.
Legacy JavaScript
100 ms · 7 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 7 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 100 ms faster on a phone.
4 long tasks on the main thread
4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 67 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
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: 3.6 MB in 353 requests
3.6 MBYour homepage downloads 3.6 MB in 353 requests on a phone: images 1.8 MB (110), other files 946 KiB (143) and scripts 660 KiB (75). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit
1.02 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.02 g of CO₂e: 122.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
Links must have discernible text (5 elements)
Links must have discernible text: 5 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
5 tap targets too small
5 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
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.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (151 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 151 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate 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. (2 elements).
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 188 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
51 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 56 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 51 passed and 5 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Meta description is long (196 characters)
Your meta description is 196 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
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.
One H1 headline
Your <h1> is empty.
239 internal links, 15 external
The homepage links to 239 pages on dotmod.com and 15 external pages.
5 checks passed
Title: 58 characters
Your title is a healthy 58 characters: “dotmod Vaping - Box Mod, Atomizer, Vape Mod – dotmodretail”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://dotmod.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: Organization, Product and WebSite.
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://dotmod.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
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 description; contact details would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,487 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
1 page points its canonical at the homepage
/products/dotpod declares the homepage as its canonical URL, which tells Google it is a copy of the homepage and keeps it out of search results. A site-wide template setting usually causes this.
2 pages share a title
/ and /products/dotpod all use the title “dotmod Vaping - Box Mod, Atomizer, Vape Mod – dotmodretail”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
4 pages without a meta description
/collections/dotaio-2, /collections/dotaio-v3, /collections/dotaio-v2-1 and /collections/dotaio-mini have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 91 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
4 checks passed
Linked pages load
10 pages of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).

1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
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 (dotmod.com).
Valid certificate (48 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for dotmod.com and is valid for another 48 days.
Protected from clickjacking
X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.
Content-Security-Policy set

http:// redirects to https
http://dotmod.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2 and HTTP/3

All 50 links work
All 50 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 10 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
dotmod.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
dotmod.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 22 years old
22 yearsdotmod.com was registered in Nov 2003 through eNom, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Nov 2030
dotmod.com is registered until Nov 2030.
Content and conversion
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 1 trust badge. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
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 547 words of copy
The homepage carries about 547 words of visible text.

Email authentication
Email authentication score: 95/100
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.
3 checks passed
DMARC policy: reject
DMARC tells receivers to reject mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.
SPF in place (~all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:mail.zendesk.com include:_spf.google.com include:mail.zendesk.com include:shops.shopify.com ~all”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “google” and “k1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
4 trackers load before any consent
4Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Meta Pixel (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (iubenda) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.
13 cookies set on arrival
13Opening the homepage sets 13 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
17 other companies contacted
