Speed
12,857 HTML elements
The page has 12,857 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Main-thread work: 6.7 s
A phone's processor spends 6.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Yotpo and Klaviyo and others), adding 1.7 MB and 837 ms of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 55
55/100Your mobile performance score is 55. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
700 ms3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 700 ms.
Reduce unused JavaScript
535 KiBAbout 535 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
482 KiB40 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (482 KiB).
Shopify adds 349 ms
349 msShopify costs a phone 349 ms of main-thread work and 581 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
300 ms · 94 KiBAbout 94 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Yotpo adds 170 ms
170 msYotpo costs a phone 170 ms of main-thread work and 321 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
250 ms · 225 KiB8 images could be 225 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 250 ms faster on a phone.
16 long tasks on the main thread
16 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 154 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
38 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 38 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify JavaScript
7 KiB7 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: 4.5 MB in 574 requests
4.5 MBYour homepage downloads 4.5 MB in 574 requests on a phone: scripts 1.7 MB (183), other files 1.4 MB (337) and fonts 597 KiB (12). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image far larger than shown
146 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example viviscal-viviscal-professional-strength-hair-growth-suppleme at 2,000 px wide, shown at 174 px. Resized copies would save about 146 KiB.
About 1.3 g of CO₂ per visit
1.26 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.26 g of CO₂e: 151.5 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 load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Accessibility
Images must have alternative text (20 elements)
Images must have alternative text: 20 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.
Hidden but focusable
50 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
19 text elements with low contrast
19 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
2 tap targets too small
2 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)
Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
229 links without text
229 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
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.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
51 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 60 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 51 passed and 9 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (81 characters)
Your title is 81 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Editor's Pick | The Best Deals Online: Beauty, Fashion, Home & More – Editorspick”.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
Meta description is long (186 characters)
Your meta description is 186 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.
1,117 internal links, 0 external
The homepage links to 1,117 pages on editorspick.com and 0 external pages.
4 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Editorspick”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://editorspick.com/.
robots.txt in place

XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://editorspick.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.
3 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 (1,986 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
2 pages without a meta description
/blogs/news and /pages/editors-pick-reviews have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
6 pages without an H1
/blogs/news, /pages/editors-pick-reviews, /pages/returns, /pages/contact-us, /collections/all and /collections/skin-care 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 199 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
5 checks passed

Security and trust

Valid certificate (47 days left)

Domain and trust
No CAA record
editorspick.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
editorspick.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 social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
No direct contact details

Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be editorspick.com is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.
Email authentication score: 70/100
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.

SPF in place (~all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 a mx include:helpscoutemail.com include:_spf.google.com ~all”.
DKIM signing found
