eqclusive.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Avoid multiple page redirects
10.1 sThe page goes through 2 redirects before it starts loading, costing about 10.1 s. Link and advertise the final URL directly.
loox.io adds 1.4 s
1.4 sloox.io costs a phone 1.4 s of main-thread work and 124 KiB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
Main-thread work: 9.5 s
A phone's processor spends 9.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
7,320 HTML elements
The page has 7,320 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
5 third-party services on the page
5 third-party services load with your homepage (loox.io, codeblackbelt.com and Shopify and others), adding 1.2 MB and 2.2 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
900 ms · 129 KiBAbout 129 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 50
50/100Your mobile performance score is 50. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
500 ms · 152 KiB19 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (152 KiB).
codeblackbelt.com adds 567 ms
567 mscodeblackbelt.com costs a phone 567 ms of main-thread work and 76 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
300 ms · 179 KiB9 images could be 179 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Document request latency
350 msThe HTML itself could arrive about 350 ms sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.
Shopify adds 197 ms
197 msShopify costs a phone 197 ms of main-thread work and 895 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.
15 long tasks on the main thread
15 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 264 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Render-blocking requests
150 ms3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 150 ms.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Duplicated JavaScript
8 KiB8 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.
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.

Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 12.2 s
12.2 sYour largest element takes 12.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Eqclusive Patented Packs of Brushes - Guaranteed shine”.
Time to Interactive: 17.1 s
17.1 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 17.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 6.7 s
6.7 sVisually, the page fills in at 6.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Total Blocking Time: 559 ms
559 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 559 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
First Contentful Paint: 2.9 s
2.9 sThe first text or image appears after 2.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
-4%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.6 s to 1.6 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Not enough real-visitor data yet
Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.027
0.027The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.027, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.5 MB in 675 requests
4.5 MBYour homepage downloads 4.5 MB in 675 requests on a phone: other files 1.4 MB (270), scripts 1.4 MB (265) and images 973 KiB (42). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
5 images below the first screen load straight away
5 images further down the page (195 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.3 g of CO₂ per visit
1.27 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.27 g of CO₂e: 151.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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
Form elements must have labels (1 element)
Form elements must have labels: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.
53 text elements with low contrast
53 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 (4 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (4 elements)
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 23 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
49 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 54 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 passed and 5 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
4 H1 headlines
There are 4 <h1> headlines (“”, “Intelligent grooming begins beneath the surface.” and “The best grooming result does not begin with shin…”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Meta description is long (290 characters)
Your meta description is 290 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
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.
115 internal links, 13 external
The homepage links to 115 pages on eqclusive.com and 13 external pages.
6 checks passed

AI search readiness
No llms.txt

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.
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 (3,061 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages

Security and trust
Short HSTS lifetime

Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (eqclusive.com).
Valid certificate (60 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for eqclusive.com and is valid for another 60 days.
Protected from clickjacking
X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.
Content-Security-Policy set
A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
http:// redirects to https
http://eqclusive.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2 and HTTP/3

All 47 links work
All 47 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 7 external) answered without errors; 4 did not answer within 5 s.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
eqclusive.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
eqclusive.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.
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 analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
No direct contact details
No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.
About 627 words of copy
The homepage carries about 627 words of visible text.
3 checks passed

DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be eqclusive.com is still delivered. Add a report address, check the reports, then move to quarantine.
No DKIM key on the usual selectors
We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.
Email authentication score: 60/100
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.

12 cookies set on arrival
12Opening the homepage sets 12 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
