Speed

7 to fix75
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.4 s · 419 KiB

    About 419 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.4 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.3 s

    11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.3 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 75

    75/100

    Your mobile performance score is 75. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    600 ms · 260 KiB

    7 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (260 KiB).

  • Font display

    500 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 500 ms).

  • 2,952 HTML elements

    The page has 2,952 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • PayPal adds 171 ms

    171 ms

    PayPal costs a phone 171 ms of main-thread work and 390 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.

  • 7 third-party services on the page

    7 third-party services load with your homepage (PayPal, Google/Doubleclick Ads and adtrafficquality.google and others), adding 714 KiB and 267 ms of main-thread time.

  • Improve image delivery

    150 ms · 137 KiB

    11 images could be 137 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 36 KiB

    About 36 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.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 7 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 7 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 2 long tasks on the main thread

    2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 57 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Minify CSS

    6 KiB

    6 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • 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: 1.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 783 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 7 ms

    7 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 7 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix69
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 7.0 s

    7.0 s

    Your largest element takes 7.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.

  • Time to Interactive: 9.3 s

    9.3 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 9.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 3.6 s

    3.6 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 3.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 5 images without width and height

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

  • 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.

3 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.03

    0.03

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.03, good is under 0.1).

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.1 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Total Blocking Time: 7 ms

    7 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 7 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 2.5 MB in 186 requests

    2.5 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.5 MB in 186 requests on a phone: other files 809 KiB (108), scripts 734 KiB (24) and images 694 KiB (38). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 2 images in older formats

    2 images (62 KiB) 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.

  • 1 image below the first screen load straight away

    1 image further down the page (94 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.72 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.72 g of CO₂e: 86.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • 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 7788
  • 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.

  • 7 tap targets too small

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

  • Malformed lists

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

  • Orphan list items

    Some list items are not inside a list.

  • 5 images without alt text

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Zoom is disabled

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

  • 5 form fields without a label

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

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h4 and h1 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 47 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 55 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 8 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 8580
  • Title is short (25 characters)

    Your title is only 25 characters: “Homi Beauty – Homi beauty”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • No structured data

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

  • 4 H1 headlines

    There are 4 <h1> headlines (“Homi beauty”, “Homi beauty” and “30ml, vitamin C facial serum, used for freckle br…”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • No favicon declared

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

  • 1 link crawlers can't follow

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

  • 51 internal links, 12 external

    The homepage links to 51 pages on homibeauty.com and 12 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Meta description: 123 characters

    Your meta description is 123 characters: ““When you look beautiful you feel beautiful, and it’s that kind of happiness that I try to give to women every day.” – …”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://homibeauty.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://homibeauty.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 (2,050 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 1 page without a meta description

    https://homibeauty.com/blogs/news has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 3 links to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 3 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example https://homibeauty.com/collections/eyes/products/1-pc-microblading-tattoo-eyebrow-pencil-waterproof-fork-tip-eyebrow-liquid-eyebrow-pen-shades-eye-pencil-charm-makeup-cosmetics, whose canonical is https://homibeauty.com/products/1-pc-microblading-tattoo-eyebrow-pencil-waterproof-fork-tip-eyebrow-liquid-eyebrow-pen-shades-eye-pencil-charm-makeup-cosmetics. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 19 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9687
  • 4 small tap targets

    4 of 10 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

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

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix75
  • 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.

  • 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 489 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 489 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • 9 calls to action

    The homepage has 9 calls to action, for example “SHOP .cls-1{fill:#231f20} expand”, “SHOP” and “Contact Us”.

  • 8 short forms

    8 short forms (3 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 20 testimonial or review blocks and 3 customer or partner logos.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 0 phone links and 2 email links.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 1 tracker load before any consent

    1

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads (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.

  • 8 cookies set on arrival

    8

    Opening the homepage sets 8 cookies (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.

  • 12 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 12 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 homibeauty.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.

Apps on your store

No apps were seen in the code your storefront loads.
