Speed

5 to fix51
  • Mobile performance score: 51

    51/100

    Your mobile performance score is 51. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Render-blocking requests

    700 ms

    14 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 700 ms.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    150 ms · 364 KiB

    About 364 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 2,917 HTML elements

    The page has 2,917 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • a2rev.com adds 80 ms

    80 ms

    a2rev.com costs a phone 80 ms of main-thread work and 322 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.

  • Improve image delivery

    200 ms · 69 KiB

    4 images could be 69 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, a2rev.com and omnisnippet1.com and others), adding 834 KiB and 186 ms of main-thread time.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    210 KiB

    6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (210 KiB).

  • 4 long tasks on the main thread

    4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 171 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    17 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 17 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    12 KiB

    About 12 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.9 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 696 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 14 ms

    14 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 14 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix38
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.633

    0.633

    The layout shifts by 0.633 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 6.2 s

    6.2 s

    Your largest element takes 6.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 9.5 s

    9.5 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 9.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 4.2 s

    4.2 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 4.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Total Blocking Time: 162 ms

    162 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 162 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.2 s

    1.2 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.2 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

Images and page weight

2 to fix81
  • Page weight: 2.3 MB in 186 requests

    2.3 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.3 MB in 186 requests on a phone: scripts 980 KiB (84), images 596 KiB (25) and other files 573 KiB (41). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    1695a5f0885249489ab95814153d4ea7_tplv-aphluv4xwc-origin-jpeg is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).

  • About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.66 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.66 g of CO₂e: 78.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

8 to fixGoogle 9190
  • 6 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Interactive controls must not be nested (2 elements)

    Interactive controls must not be nested: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • Hidden but focusable

    1 element hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.

  • 1 tap target too small

    1 tap target is too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • 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.

  • 11 form fields without a label

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

  • 9 links without text

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

  • Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (2 elements)

    Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 114 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 52 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 59 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 52 passed and 7 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

5 to fixGoogle 8576
  • No meta description

    No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • Title is short (6 characters)

    Your title is only 6 characters: “Glosen”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • Structured data has 5 problems

    Structured data found (Organization and WebSite) but with 5 problems, for example “Organization: sameAs is not an absolute URL ("#")”.

  • No favicon declared

    No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.

  • 4 links with vague text

    4 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

  • 184 internal links, 1 external

    The homepage links to 184 pages on glosenstore.com and 1 external page.

5 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Glosen”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://glosenstore.com/.

  • Open Graph tags complete

    Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.

  • robots.txt in place

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

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://glosenstore.com/sitemap.xml.

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 (1,462 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

3 to fix85
  • 12 pages without a meta description

    https://glosenstore.com/collections/all, https://glosenstore.com/collections/frontpage, https://glosenstore.com/policies/shipping-policy, https://glosenstore.com/collections/first-aid-box, https://glosenstore.com/collections/pill-box and https://glosenstore.com/collections/cash-box and 6 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 link to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example https://glosenstore.com/pages/%E6%89%B9%E5%8F%91%E7%99%BB%E8%AE%B0, whose canonical is https://glosenstore.com/pages/%e6%89%b9%e5%8f%91%e7%99%bb%e8%ae%b0. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 4 pages without an H1

    https://glosenstore.com/collections/all, https://glosenstore.com/collections/frontpage, https://glosenstore.com/collections/first-aid-box and https://glosenstore.com/collections/all-collections have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 3 pages slow to respond

    https://glosenstore.com/collections/frontpage, https://glosenstore.com/policies/shipping-policy and https://glosenstore.com/collections/first-aid-box took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 32 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

4 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    14 pages of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 14 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix79
  • 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 analytics detected

    No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

  • About 712 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 712 words of visible text.

5 checks passed
  • 5 calls to action

    The homepage has 5 calls to action, for example “Subscribe”, “CONTACT US” and “Contact Information”.

  • 15 short forms

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 2 email links.

  • Risk reducer mentioned

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 1 tracker load before any consent

    1

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads TikTok Pixel (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.

  • 10 cookies set on arrival

    10

    Opening the homepage sets 10 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.

  • 9 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 9 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Security, domain, email and software versions

The security, domain and email checks, software and plugin versions, and any app with a known security problem are visible only to people at glosenstore.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.

Apps on your store

Your storefront loads 7 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
