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.
4,102 HTML elements
The page has 4,102 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Main-thread work: 4.0 s
A phone's processor spends 4.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 779 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
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
750 ms · 126 KiB8 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (126 KiB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
190 ms · 157 KiBAbout 157 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 190 ms faster on a phone.
7 third-party services on the page
7 third-party services load with your homepage (iubenda, minmaxify.com and Shopify and others), adding 356 KiB and 307 ms of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
100 ms · 10 KiB1 image could be 10 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.
4 long tasks on the main thread
4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 91 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
40 ms · 23 KiBAbout 23 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 40 ms faster on a phone.
Legacy JavaScript
7 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 7 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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.

Other pages
2 pages point its canonical at the homepage
https://dotmod.com/products/dotpod and https://dotmod.com/products/dotpod-pro declare the homepage as their canonical URL, which tells Google they are copies of the homepage and keeps them out of search results. A site-wide template setting usually causes this.
3 pages share a title
/, https://dotmod.com/products/dotpod and https://dotmod.com/products/dotpod-pro 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.
6 pages without a meta description
https://dotmod.com/collections/dotaio-2, https://dotmod.com/collections/dotaio-v3, https://dotmod.com/collections/dotaio-v2-1, https://dotmod.com/collections/dotaio-mini, https://dotmod.com/collections/dotpod-max and https://dotmod.com/collections/dotpod-go have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
