Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Improve image delivery
4.1 s · 1.3 MB8 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 KiBAbout 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 KiB10 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (250 KiB).
Mobile performance score: 16
16/100Your 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 msGoogle 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 ms18 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.
Hotjar adds 258 ms
258 msHotjar 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 msKlaviyo 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 msShopify 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 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 41 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Duplicated JavaScript
19 KiB19 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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 5.8 MB in 285 requests
5.8 MBYour 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 MB3 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 gBy 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

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.

Other pages
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

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
