Speed

8 to fix36
  • YouTube adds 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    YouTube costs a phone 1.1 s of main-thread work and 1.9 MB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.1 s

    21 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 36

    36/100

    Your mobile performance score is 36. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 5.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 5.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 3,432 HTML elements

    The page has 3,432 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (YouTube, Google CDN and Klaviyo and others), adding 2.5 MB and 1.5 s of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.1 MB

    About 1.1 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Improve image delivery

    400 ms · 134 KiB

    7 images could be 134 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 400 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 163 KiB

    About 163 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 13 long tasks on the main thread

    13 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 224 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    100 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    93 KiB

    30 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (93 KiB).

  • Legacy JavaScript

    19 KiB

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

  • Minify JavaScript

    8 KiB

    8 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 14 ms

    14 ms

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

Core Web Vitals

7 to fix26
  • Time to Interactive: 25.7 s

    25.7 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 25.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.713

    0.713

    The layout shifts by 0.713 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.

  • Total Blocking Time: 493 ms

    493 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 493 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.5 s

    2.5 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 33 images without width and height

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

  • Speed Index: 4.7 s

    4.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 4.7 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.

Images and page weight

2 to fix60
  • Page weight: 4.7 MB in 309 requests

    4.7 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.7 MB in 309 requests on a phone: scripts 2.2 MB (92), other files 949 KiB (111) and images 842 KiB (72). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 2 images far larger than shown

    8 KiB

    2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example EVE_PEARL_Foundation_Concealer_Shade_chart_Mobile_e13fd96e-a at 1,200 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 8 KiB.

  • 1 image below the first screen load straight away

    1 image further down the page (50 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 1.3 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.34 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.34 g of CO₂e: 161.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

Accessibility

14 to fixGoogle 5782
  • 60 buttons without a name

    60 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • Malformed lists

    Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.

  • 6 tap targets too small

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

  • 5 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Frames without titles

    1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.

  • <html> element must have a lang attribute (1 element)

    <html> element must have a lang attribute: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 21 images without alt text

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

  • 95 form fields without a label

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

  • Heading levels should only increase by one (1 element)

    Heading levels should only increase by one: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Zoom is disabled

    The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

  • 7 links without text

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

  • No page language

    The <html> element has no lang attribute, so screen readers may read the page in the wrong voice and accent.

  • Headings should not be empty (4 elements)

    Headings should not be empty: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • 44 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 57 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 passed and 13 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

5 to fixGoogle 8579
  • Title is long (90 characters)

    Your title is 90 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Cosmetics and Makeup with Skincare for Every Complexion - EVE PEARL – EVE PEARL GreatFaces”.

  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • 33 links crawlers can't follow

    33 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

  • 4 H1 headlines

    There are 4 <h1> headlines (“”, “” and “”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 161 internal links, 4 external

    The homepage links to 161 pages on greatfaces.com and 4 external pages.

4 checks passed
  • Meta description: 156 characters

    Your meta description is 156 characters: “Cosmetics and Makeup with Skincare for Every Complexion | Eve Pearl award winning celebrity makeup artist — Eve Pearl C…”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.evepearl.com/.

  • 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://www.evepearl.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • No Organization structured data

    There is no Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants have no machine-readable facts about who runs the site: its name, logo, profiles and contact details.

3 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.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (2,282 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

4 to fix64
  • 1 linked page is broken

    Your homepage links to /collections/treatment, which answers with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop it.

  • 5 pages without a meta description

    /collections/moisturize, /collections/cheeks-blush/blush, /collections/eyes, /collections/eyeshadow-pallets/eyeshadow-palettes and /collections/eyes/eyeliner-mascara have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 2 pages share a meta description

    /collections/face and /collections/hd-foundations/foundations use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 3 pages without an H1

    /pages/order-shipping-policy, /products/priming-moisturizer-treatment and /products/lip-therapy 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 73 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

4 checks passed
  • 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.

  • 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

6 to fixGoogle 4668
  • 1 broken image

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

  • 81 small tap targets

    81 of 173 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 5 third-party cookies

    5 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • Deprecated browser APIs

    The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).

  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()”.

  • 6 distorted images

    6 images are displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so they look stretched or squashed.

  • 1 low-resolution image

    1 image is served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

2 to fix81
  • 6 broken links to your own pages

    6 links from your homepage to your own site are broken, for example https://www.evepearl.com/pages/order-shipping-policy (network).

  • 1 broken external link

    1 link to other sites is dead, for example http://twitter.com/EvePearl (520).

  • Short HSTS lifetime

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

  • 2 links through redirect chains

    2 links go through two or more redirects, for example http://www.facebook.com/pages/EVE-PEARL-Cosmetics-and-Makeup-Experience-Studio-Boutique/65817017645.

  • No Referrer-Policy

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

  • No Permissions-Policy

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

  • Deprecated X-XSS-Protection

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

  • No security.txt

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

6 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (evepearl.com).

  • Valid certificate (48 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE2 verifies for greatfaces.com and is valid for another 48 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

    X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.

  • Content-Security-Policy set

    A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://greatfaces.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2 and HTTP/3

    The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.

Domain and trust

  • DNSSEC is off

    evepearl.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.

3 checks passed
  • Domain is 23 years old

    23 years

    evepearl.com was registered in Apr 2003 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Certificate issuers are restricted

    CAA records allow only digicert.com, globalsign.com, letsencrypt.org and pki.goog to issue certificates for evepearl.com, so a mis-issued certificate from anyone else is refused.

  • Registered until Feb 2027

    evepearl.com is registered until Feb 2027.

Content and conversion

4 to fix67
  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 203 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • No analytics detected

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

  • A 8-field form

    Your longest form asks for 8 fields (0 required). Every extra field lowers completion.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • About 1,936 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,936 words of visible text.

2 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “SHOP THE FULL COLLECTION”.

  • 10 calls to action

    The homepage has 10 calls to action, for example “Book Reviews”, “shop the full collection” and “subscribe”.

Email authentication

3 to fix0
  • No DMARC policy

    greatfaces.com has no DMARC record, so nothing tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF or DKIM. Gmail and Yahoo require DMARC from bulk senders.

  • No SPF record

    greatfaces.com has no SPF record, so mail servers can't tell which servers may send email as you. Your mail lands in spam more often, and anyone can send mail pretending to be you.

  • No DKIM key on the usual selectors

    We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.

  • Email authentication score: 0/100

    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.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 5 trackers load before any consent

    5

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

  • 13 cookies set on arrival

    13

    Opening the homepage sets 13 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.

  • 32 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 32 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Apps on your store

Your storefront loads 5 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.

None of the apps your storefront loads is on the list of apps with a known security problem.
