Core Web Vitals

3 to fix67
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

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

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 6.1 MB

    6.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 6.1 MB on a phone, 2.0 MB of it images (33%). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 1.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.73 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.73 g of CO₂e: 207.3 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

16 to fix82
  • 3 buttons without a name

    3 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • Interactive controls must not be nested (5 elements)

    Interactive controls must not be nested: 5 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • ARIA toggle fields must have an accessible name (3 elements)

    ARIA toggle fields must have an accessible name: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • ARIA input fields must have an accessible name (2 elements)

    ARIA input fields must have an accessible name: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • Links look like plain text

    2 links inside paragraphs rely on colour alone to stand out.

  • 2 tap targets too small

    2 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • 1 text element with low contrast

    1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • Malformed lists

    Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.

  • 44 images without alt text

    44 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (19 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 19 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 5 links without text

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

  • 4 form fields without a label

    4 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (9 elements)

    Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 9 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (4 elements)

    ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Elements marked as presentational should be consistently ignored (4 elements)

    Elements marked as presentational should be consistently ignored: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings should not be empty (1 element)

    Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

1 checks passed
  • 53 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 68 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 53 passed and 15 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

AI search readiness

100
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: 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 (1,490 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

100
  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 48 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

Best practices

3 to fix71

    1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://forme.science/.

    20 of 87 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 4 JavaScript errors while loading

    4 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

100
  • Short HSTS lifetime

    HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

  • 3 links through redirect chains

    3 links go through two or more redirects, for example https://forme.science/collections/starter-bundle?_cd=c4e84d286538e231c6c44c349193d419dfa1c173c1b3ce76ddbc2716f6433b23&_uid=96692568295&preview_theme_id=157041656039&preview_token=r2u45mmih3ddtz1bm0h8j04x7syv570z.

  • 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 (forme.science).

  • Valid certificate (48 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for forme.science 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

    A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://forme.science redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2 and HTTP/3

    The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.

  • All 60 links work

    All 60 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 20 external) answered without errors; 1 did not answer within 5 s.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    forme.science 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

    forme.science'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 6 years old

    6 years

    forme.science was registered in Aug 2020 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Aug 2029

    forme.science is registered until Aug 2029.

Content and conversion

1 to fix92
  • 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 623 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 623 words of visible text.

  • Urgency cues

    The page uses urgency cues (a countdown or limited-time wording).

5 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Shop Women” and “Shop All”.

  • 38 calls to action

    The homepage has 38 calls to action, for example “Shop Smarter with HSA/FSA”, “Shop All” and “Shop Women”.

  • 4 short forms

    4 short forms (4 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 36 testimonial or review blocks and 15 trust badges.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity and Hotjar.

Email authentication

1 to fix70
  • DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be forme.science is still delivered. Add a report address, check the reports, then move to quarantine.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • SPF in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com include:mailgun.org include:amazonses.com include:dc-aa8e722993._spfm.forme.science incl…”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “google” and “mandrill”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 10 trackers load before any consent

    10

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and Klaviyo and 5 mores (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.

  • 48 cookies set on arrival

    48

    Opening the homepage sets 48 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (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.

  • 94 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 94 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Apps on your store

Your storefront loads 23 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.

None of the apps your storefront loads is on the list of apps with a known security problem.
