ghostbond.com website review

Your mobile performance score is 66. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

About 209 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

22 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 750 ms.

9 images could be 513 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.

The page has 2,652 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, buildwithtoki.com and Hotjar and others), adding 612 KiB and 227 ms of main-thread time.

2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 54 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

About 46 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

33 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

Polyfills for old browsers add 19 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

5 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (15 KiB).

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

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 visitors see the first content after 3.5 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

Your largest element takes 12.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

The page becomes fully interactive after 12.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 6.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Real visitors wait 3.1 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

Real visitors wait 860 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

The first text or image appears after 2.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 161 ms to 169 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 3.7 MB in 261 requests on a phone: images 1.1 MB (29), scripts 873 KiB (83) and other files 784 KiB (100). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

3 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example GHOSTBOND_Endure_GirlsVacation_1_1.jpg at 390 px wide, shown at 86 px. Resized copies would save about 156 KiB.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.04 g of CO₂e: 124.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

Interactive controls must not be nested: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

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

Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

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

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

Headings skip levels (h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).

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

The homepage links to 137 pages on ghostbond.com and 8 external pages.

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.

/collections/bundle-deals, /collections/ghostbond-adhesives and /collections/scalp-treatments have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

Your homepage links to 2 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example /collections/ghostbond-adhesives, whose canonical is /collections/adhesives. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

/collections/ghostbond-adhesives, /collections/removers and /collections/scalp-treatments took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 53 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

12 of 33 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

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

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

No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.

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

ghostbond.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.

ghostbond.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.

No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

The homepage carries about 1,277 words of visible text.

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

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.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and Klaviyo and 2 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.

Opening the homepage sets 15 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

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.

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