Speed

12 to fix16
  • Improve image delivery

    4.1 s · 1.3 MB

    8 images could be 1.3 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.1 s faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    3.9 s · 864 KiB

    About 864 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.9 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.1 s · 250 KiB

    10 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (250 KiB).

  • Mobile performance score: 16

    16/100

    Your mobile performance score is 16. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 4.3 s

    A phone's processor spends 4.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and Facebook and others), adding 2.5 MB and 1.8 s of main-thread time.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 770 ms

    770 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 770 ms of main-thread work and 1.1 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.

  • Render-blocking requests

    450 ms

    18 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.

  • Hotjar adds 258 ms

    258 ms

    Hotjar costs a phone 258 ms of main-thread work and 65 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.

  • 2,363 HTML elements

    The page has 2,363 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Klaviyo adds 136 ms

    136 ms

    Klaviyo costs a phone 136 ms of main-thread work and 309 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.

  • Shopify adds 65 ms

    65 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 65 ms of main-thread work and 531 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.

  • 16 long tasks on the main thread

    16 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 236 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    41 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 41 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    19 KiB

    19 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 16 ms

    16 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 16 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

13 to fix67
  • 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.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 25.2 s

    25.2 s

    Your largest element takes 25.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 27.3 s

    27.3 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 27.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 12.5 s

    12.5 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 12.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.548

    0.548

    The layout shifts by 0.548 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • Total Blocking Time: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 1.1 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user INP: 244 ms

    244 ms

    Real visitors wait 244 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) got 33% slower for real visitors

    +33%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 177 ms to 244 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 25% slower for real visitors

    +25%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.8 s to 2.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Real-user FCP: 1.8 s

    1.8 s

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

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    Real visitors wait 1.1 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.8 s

    2.8 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 2 images without width and height

    2 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

2 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 2.5 s

    2.5 s

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

  • Real-user CLS: 0.01

    0.01

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.01 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

Images and page weight

4 to fix25
  • Page weight: 5.8 MB in 285 requests

    5.8 MB

    Your homepage downloads 5.8 MB in 285 requests on a phone: images 2.6 MB (24), scripts 2.2 MB (100) and other files 770 KiB (116). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 3 images over 500 KB

    3 images weigh 2.2 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 3 images far larger than shown

    1.1 MB

    3 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example After_Care_MBL_Banner.webp at 3,196 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 1.1 MB.

  • 5 images in older formats

    5 images (3.0 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 1.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.65 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.65 g of CO₂e: 198.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images load when needed

    Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.

Accessibility

6 to fixGoogle 8992
  • Images must have alternative text (1 element)

    Images must have alternative text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • 8 text elements with low contrast

    8 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)

    Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 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.

  • 2 form fields without a label

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

  • 2 links without text

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

1 checks passed
  • 53 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: 53 passed and 5 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 9290
  • Meta description is short (48 characters)

    Your meta description is only 48 characters: “GK Hair Online Store for Kingdom of Saudi Arabia”. 70 to 160 characters is enough to sell the click.

  • One H1 headline

    Your <h1> is empty.

  • 296 internal links, 25 external

    The homepage links to 296 pages on gkhair.sa and 25 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Title: 57 characters

    Your title is a healthy 57 characters: “Global Keratin Hair ® Official Online Store - GK Hair KSA”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://gkhair.sa/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization and WebSite.

  • Open Graph tags complete

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.

  • XML sitemap found

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 (3,087 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://gkhair.sa/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

4 to fix68
  • 1 page without a title

    https://gkhair.sa/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.

  • 1 linked page hidden from search

    https://gkhair.sa/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

  • 3 pages without a meta description

    https://gkhair.sa/collections/all, https://gkhair.sa/customer_authentication/redirect and https://gkhair.sa/pages/hair-quiz have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 5 pages without an H1

    https://gkhair.sa/customer_authentication/redirect, https://gkhair.sa/collections, https://gkhair.sa/pages/hair-quiz, https://gkhair.sa/pages/juvexin and https://gkhair.sa/pages/our-story have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 85 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

3 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.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 5488
  • Deprecated browser APIs

    The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Synchronous `XMLHttpRequest` on the main thread is deprecated because of its detrimental effects to…”).

  • 1 third-party cookie

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

  • 3 JavaScript errors while loading

    3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Uncaught SyntaxError: Identifier 'urlToPreload' has already been declared”.

  • Browser-reported issues

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 8 trackers load before any consent

    8

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and Klaviyo and 3 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.

  • 23 cookies set on arrival

    23

    Opening the homepage sets 23 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 38 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 38 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
