Speed

15 to fix48
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    4.2 s · 7.7 MB

    192 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (7.7 MB).

  • Render-blocking requests

    8.5 s

    94 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 8.5 s.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    4.2 s · 947 KiB

    About 947 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.2 s faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    3.0 s · 526 KiB

    About 526 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.0 s faster on a phone.

  • Document request latency

    1.6 s

    The HTML itself could arrive about 1.6 s sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.

  • Reduce initial server response time

    1.5 s

    Reduce initial server response time. Google estimates savings of 1.5 s on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 48

    48/100

    Your mobile performance score is 48 (desktop: 36). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Improve image delivery

    150 ms · 7.1 MB

    32 images could be 7.1 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, jQuery CDN and tiktokcdn-us.com and others), adding 4.4 MB and 555 ms of main-thread time.

  • tiktokcdn-us.com adds 130 ms

    130 ms

    tiktokcdn-us.com costs a phone 130 ms of main-thread work and 3.8 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.

  • Font display

    400 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 400 ms).

  • Main-thread work: 2.9 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 948 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 224 ms

    224 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 224 ms of main-thread work and 413 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.

  • 2,441 HTML elements

    The page has 2,441 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Server response: 1.6 s

    1.6 s

    Your server takes 1.6 s to send the HTML. Google recommends under 600 ms; everything else waits for it.

  • Minify CSS

    150 ms · 42 KiB

    42 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Minify JavaScript

    150 ms · 18 KiB

    18 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 10 long tasks on the main thread

    10 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 128 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    7 KiB

    Polyfills 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

9 to fix50
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

  • Real-user LCP: 13.2 s

    13.2 s

    Real visitors wait 13.2 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user FCP: 8.3 s

    8.3 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 8.3 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 3.1 s

    3.1 s

    Real visitors wait 3.1 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 9.0 s

    9.0 s

    The first text or image appears after 9.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 52.8 s

    52.8 s

    Your largest element takes 52.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Dear Darling Marker Tint Looks like Marker, Works like Magic”.

  • Speed Index: 20.9 s

    20.9 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 20.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 55.7 s

    55.7 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 55.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 310 ms

    310 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 310 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

2 checks passed
  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

3 to fix45
  • Page weight: 19.5 MB in 268 requests

    19.5 MB

    Your homepage downloads 19.5 MB in 268 requests on a phone: images 12.6 MB (56), media 3.9 MB (6) and scripts 2.0 MB (88). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image over 500 KB

    배너2_pc-1.jpg weighs 877 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 6 images in older formats

    6 images (1.9 MB) are JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.

  • About 5.5 g of CO₂ per visit

    5.53 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 5.53 g of CO₂e: 663.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • Images 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

6 to fixGoogle 8292
  • Invalid ARIA attributes

    1 element use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.

  • 18 text elements with low contrast

    18 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 (48 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 48 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 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.

  • 25 links without text

    25 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 79 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 45 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 51 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 6 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 8575
  • No meta description

    No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • 9 links crawlers can't follow

    9 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.

  • 358 internal links, 55 external

    The homepage links to 358 pages on etude.com and 55 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Title: 37 characters

    Your title is a healthy 37 characters: “ETUDE GLOBAL OFFICIAL WEBSITE – Etude”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://int.etude.com/.

  • Open Graph tags complete

    Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://int.etude.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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.

  • No llms.txt

    There is no /llms.txt, a short Markdown guide to your key pages for AI tools (llmstxt.org). It is optional and few AI tools read it yet, so treat it as a cheap extra.

2 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 (1,077 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

3 to fix83
  • 3 pages share a title

    /product/category/all, /product/category/eye/eye-all and /product/category/lip/lip-all all use the title “All – ETUDE GLOBAL OFFICIAL WEBSITE”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 15 pages without a meta description

    /product/category/all, /product/category, /product/category/eye, /product/category/eye/eye-all, /product/category/eye/single-shadow and /product/category/eye/eye-palette and 9 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 15 pages without an H1

    /product/category/all, /product/category, /product/category/eye, /product/category/eye/eye-all, /product/category/eye/single-shadow and /product/category/eye/eye-palette and 9 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 6 pages slow to respond

    /product/category, /product/category/eye, /product/category/eye/eye-all, /product/category/eye/single-shadow, /product/category/eye/eye-palette and /product/category/eye/eyeliner took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 82 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

4 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 5488
  • Deprecated browser APIs

    The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).

  • 1 third-party cookie

    1 third-party cookie is set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • 6 JavaScript errors while loading

    6 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “selectShop is not defined”.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    19 of 22 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

3 to fix79
  • 1 broken external link

    1 link to other sites is dead, for example http://www.amazon.com/stores/page/1C7D4DBC-FF51-4270-B7C7-8E32049EAC2A?ingress=2&visitId=14624c54-53bb-4512-a0a2-61d86846cc45&store_ref=bl_ast_dp_brandLogo_sto&ref_=ast_bln (503).

  • No HSTS header

    No Strict-Transport-Security header, so browsers may still try plain http first on a return visit.

  • No Content-Security-Policy

    No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • No clickjacking protection

    Neither X-Frame-Options nor a CSP frame-ancestors policy is set, so any site can embed yours in a frame.

  • No X-Content-Type-Options

    X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.

  • 2 redirects before the homepage

    Opening https://etude.com goes through 2 redirects before the homepage loads.

  • 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.

  • No security.txt

    There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

4 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (int.etude.com).

  • Valid certificate (98 days left)

    The certificate from GlobalSign nv-sa · GlobalSign RSA OV SSL CA 2018 verifies for etude.com and is valid for another 98 days.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://etude.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2

    The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    etude.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

    etude.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 31 years old

    31 years

    etude.com was registered in Nov 1994 through Gabia, Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Nov 2027

    etude.com is registered until Nov 2027.

Content and conversion

3 to fix67
  • No calls to action

    We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 1 testimonial or review block. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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.

  • 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 288 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 288 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “RETURN TO SHOP”.

  • 6 short forms

    6 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

Email authentication

2 to fix0
  • No DMARC policy

    etude.com has no DMARC record, so nothing tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF or DKIM. Gmail and Yahoo require DMARC from bulk senders.

  • No SPF record

    etude.com has no SPF record, so mail servers can't tell which servers may send email as you. Your mail lands in spam more often, and anyone can send mail pretending to be you.

  • 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.

  • Domain receives no email

    etude.com has no MX record, so it receives no email. SPF -all and DMARC reject still matter: they stop others sending mail as you.

  • Email authentication score: 0/100

    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.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and TikTok Pixel (measured from a US location before any click). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.

  • 5 cookies set on arrival

    5

    Opening the homepage sets 5 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • No consent tool detected

    No known cookie consent tool loads with the page. Some sites build their own banner, and some only show one to visitors from the EU.

  • 23 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 23 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Upkeep, stack and company

  • It loads jQuery 3.1.1, older than 3.5 (which fixed known security holes).
