herabeauty.ca does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
6,276 HTML elements
The page has 6,276 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Main-thread work: 5.8 s
A phone's processor spends 5.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.6 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 (Shopify, Klaviyo and squarecdn.com and others), adding 4.1 MB and 753 ms of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
1.0 MB32 images could be 1.0 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Mobile performance score: 70
70/100Your mobile performance score is 70. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
450 ms · 512 KiBAbout 512 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
800 ms4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 800 ms.
Shopify adds 352 ms
352 msShopify costs a phone 352 ms of main-thread work and 2.5 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.
Klaviyo adds 228 ms
228 msKlaviyo costs a phone 228 ms of main-thread work and 1.2 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.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 78 KiBAbout 78 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
227 KiB14 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (227 KiB).
Minify CSS
150 ms · 18 KiB18 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
9 long tasks on the main thread
9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 126 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Minify JavaScript
86 KiB86 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Legacy JavaScript
65 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 65 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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.
Duplicated JavaScript
4 KiB4 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

21.0 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 21.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 5.7 s
5.7 sYour largest element takes 5.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “DeMA A+”.

Real-user INP: 263 ms
263 msReal visitors wait 263 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

1.4 sThe first text or image appears after 1.4 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 6.4 MB in 525 requests
6.4 MBYour homepage downloads 6.4 MB in 525 requests on a phone: images 2.9 MB (77), scripts 1.9 MB (198) and other files 1.1 MB (214). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
try-on-en.png 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).
1 image far larger than shown
71 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example Rubber_Bands_1_2_1000_pcs_Black_3162.png at 1,200 px wide, shown at 164 px. Resized copies would save about 71 KiB.
About 1.8 g of CO₂ per visit
1.81 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.81 g of CO₂e: 216.8 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
26 text elements with low contrast
26 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
6 tap targets too small
6 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
Orphan list items
Some list items are not inside a list.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (13 elements)
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 13 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings should not be empty (9 elements)
Headings should not be empty: 9 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 111 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
54 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 61 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 54 passed and 7 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Structured data has 1 problem
Structured data found (WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “ld+json block 1 is not valid JSON (Unexpected token ']', ..." ], "url""... is not va)”.
One H1 headline
Your <h1> is empty.
276 internal links, 4 external
The homepage links to 276 pages on herabeauty.ca and 4 external pages.
6 checks passed
Meta description: 90 characters
Your meta description is 90 characters: “Premium wigs, braids, weaves, and hair & skin care —— everything to celebrate your beauty.”.
Title: 49 characters
Your title is a healthy 49 characters: “Hera Beauté - Wig, Braid, Weave, Hair & Skin Care”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://herabeauty.ca/.
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://herabeauty.ca/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
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 (904 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
1 linked page is broken
Your homepage links to /collections/vendors, which answers with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop it.
1 page without a title
/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.
1 linked page hidden from search
/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.
2 pages without a meta description
/customer_authentication/redirect and /collections/online-exclusive-wig have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
14 pages without an H1
/products/ors-olive-oil-creamy-aloe-shampoo-12-5oz, /products/cantu-kids-shampoo-8oz, /products/ors-olive-oil-oil-moisturizing-hair-lotion-8-5oz, /products/cantu-kids-leave-in-conditioner-10oz, /products/ors-hairestore-hair-mayonnaise-16oz and /customer_authentication/redirect and 8 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
2 pages slow to respond
/collections/wig-full-wigs and /collections/wig-human-hair-wigs took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 110 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
2 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.
Best practices
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.”).
1 third-party cookie
1 third-party cookie is set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.
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 ()”.
Browser-reported issues
Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).
2 checks passed
Tap targets are thumb-sized
73 of 89 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
Short HSTS lifetime
HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.
1 link through redirect chains
1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://herabeauty.ca/customer_authentication/redirect?locale=en®ion_country=CA.
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.
7 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (herabeauty.ca).
Valid certificate (42 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE2 verifies for herabeauty.ca and is valid for another 42 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://herabeauty.ca 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.
All 42 links work
All 42 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 2 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
herabeauty.ca has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.
DNSSEC is off
herabeauty.ca'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.
2 checks passed
Domain is 11 years old
11 yearsherabeauty.ca was registered in Sep 2015 through Go Daddy Domains Canada, Inc. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Sep 2028
herabeauty.ca is registered until Sep 2028.
Content and conversion
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.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 1 trust badge. 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.
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 539 words of copy
The homepage carries about 539 words of visible text.
2 checks passed
5 calls to action
The homepage has 5 calls to action, for example “Sign in/ Register” and “Shop”.
29 short forms
29 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.
Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be herabeauty.ca is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.
Email authentication score: 70/100
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.
2 checks passed
SPF in place (~all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:shops.shopify.com include:amazonses.com ~all”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
7 trackers load before any consent
7Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel and 2 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.
21 cookies set on arrival
21Opening the homepage sets 21 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).
