hellocurve.com website review

40 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (268 KiB).

About 225 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.2 s faster on a phone.

Your mobile performance score is 55. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 950 ms.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Facebook, Google Tag Manager and mailerlite.com and others), adding 1.1 MB and 837 ms of main-thread time.

About 122 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

A phone's processor spends 2.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

mailerlite.com costs a phone 170 ms of main-thread work and 319 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.

6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 205 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

Polyfills for old browsers add 42 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

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

5 images could be 93 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

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.

Your largest element takes 14.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.

The page becomes fully interactive after 14.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 7.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

The first text or image appears after 2.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 408 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

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

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 73 ms to 87 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.4 s to 1.3 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 3.5 MB in 213 requests on a phone: images 1.2 MB (32), scripts 957 KiB (58) and other files 735 KiB (89). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

3 images further down the page (199 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.00 g of CO₂e: 120.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

Interactive controls must not be nested: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

ARIA input fields must have an accessible name: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

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

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

1 form field has 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.

1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.

Your <h1> is empty.

The homepage links to 119 pages on hellocurve.com and 2 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.

/en-us and / all use the title “Plus Size Formal Dresses & Occasionwear | Hello Curve”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example /, whose canonical is /en-us. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 50 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

4 images failed to load on a phone, for example https://www.hellocurve.com/en-us.

4 of 20 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

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…”).

2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Unexpected identifier 'window'”.

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

Opening https://hellocurve.com goes through 2 redirects before the homepage loads.

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.

hellocurve.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.

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 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 427 words of visible text.

hellocurve.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.

hellocurve.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.

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: 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 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.

Opening the homepage sets 14 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (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 26 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
