Render-blocking requests
1.9 s17 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.9 s.
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.2 s · 452 KiBAbout 452 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.2 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 48
48/100Your mobile performance score is 48. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Reduce unused CSS
940 ms · 113 KiBAbout 113 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 940 ms faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Facebook and TikTok and others), adding 962 KiB and 771 ms of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
600 ms · 225 KiB10 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (225 KiB).
Google Tag Manager adds 319 ms
319 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 319 ms of main-thread work and 300 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.
Main-thread work: 2.7 s
A phone's processor spends 2.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Font display
200 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 200 ms).
5 long tasks on the main thread
5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 195 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 33 KiB1 image could be 33 KiB 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.
Minify CSS
150 ms · 10 KiB10 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Legacy JavaScript
23 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 23 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify JavaScript
6 KiB6 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.

Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 9.1 s
9.1 sYour largest element takes 9.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “ORDER GEMHOUR LENS on MYEOTD.COM”.
Time to Interactive: 12.9 s
12.9 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 12.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.347
0.347The layout shifts by 0.347 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
Speed Index: 4.3 s
4.3 sVisually, the page fills in at 4.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Total Blocking Time: 301 ms
301 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 301 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
First Contentful Paint: 2.0 s
2.0 sThe first text or image appears after 2.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
9 images without width and height
9 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
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.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.5 MB in 207 requests
2.5 MBYour homepage downloads 2.5 MB in 207 requests on a phone: scripts 1.2 MB (71), other files 695 KiB (99) and images 273 KiB (14). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image in older formats
1 image (256 KiB) is 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 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit
0.72 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.72 g of CO₂e: 86.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

47 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 58 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 11 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
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.
Meta description is long (201 characters)
Your meta description is 201 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
17 links crawlers can't follow
17 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.
42 internal links, 3 external
The homepage links to 42 pages on gemhour.com and 3 external pages.
5 checks passed

Your title is a healthy 32 characters: “Gemhour - Colored Contact Lenses”.

robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.
XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.gemhour.com/sitemap.xml.

Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop them.

1 broken image
1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://www.gemhour.com/.

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 direct contact details
No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.
Only about 85 words
The homepage has only about 85 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
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.
3 checks passed
3 calls to action
The homepage has 3 calls to action, for example “shop lens” and “shop all”.
4 short forms

Security, domain, email and software versions
