Speed

12 to fix51
  • Improve image delivery

    13.8 s · 6.7 MB

    5 images could be 6.7 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 13.8 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.8 s · 898 KiB

    55 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (898 KiB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.4 s · 782 KiB

    About 782 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

    1.6 s

    11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.6 s.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, dixa.io and Optanon and others), adding 1.5 MB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.

  • Mobile performance score: 51

    51/100

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

  • Legacy JavaScript

    500 ms · 104 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 104 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 500 ms faster on a phone.

  • Main-thread work: 3.9 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 282 ms

    282 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 282 ms of main-thread work and 325 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.

  • dixa.io adds 257 ms

    257 ms

    dixa.io costs a phone 257 ms of main-thread work and 489 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.

  • Font display

    300 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 300 ms).

  • 12 long tasks on the main thread

    12 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 265 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 81 KiB

    About 81 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.

  • 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: 105 ms

    105 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 105 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 23.8 s

    23.8 s

    Your largest element takes 23.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Smiling couple wearing IOLLA prescription glasses beside a …”.

  • Time to Interactive: 29.0 s

    29.0 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 29.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 7.0 s

    7.0 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 7.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 532 ms

    532 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 532 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.6 s

    2.6 s

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

  • 2 images without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +3%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 121 ms to 121 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

8 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

  • Real-user LCP: 1.9 s

    1.9 s

    Real visitors wait 1.9 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 96 ms

    96 ms

    Real visitors wait 96 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.01

    0.01

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.01 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.1 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 427 ms

    427 ms

    Real visitors wait 427 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 13% faster for real visitors

    -13%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.3 s to 1.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.021

    0.021

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.021, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

4 to fix25
  • Page weight: 9.5 MB in 144 requests

    9.5 MB

    Your homepage downloads 9.5 MB in 144 requests on a phone: images 7.2 MB (10), scripts 1.8 MB (71) and fonts 278 KiB (11). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 3 images over 500 KB

    3 images weigh 6.5 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 4 images far larger than shown

    2.0 MB

    4 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example Ferguson Williams couple IMG_1911.jpg at 1,360 px wide, shown at 434 px. Resized copies would save about 2.0 MB.

  • 4 images in older formats

    4 images (6.9 MB) 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.

  • About 2.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    2.68 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.68 g of CO₂e: 321.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images load when needed

    Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.

Accessibility

3 to fixGoogle 9596
  • 4 text elements with low contrast

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (19 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 19 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 2 form fields without a label

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

  • Headings skip levels

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

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 16 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 46 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 49 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 3 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 9279
  • Title is short (5 characters)

    Your title is only 5 characters: “IOLLA”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • Meta description is long (163 characters)

    Your meta description is 163 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • Structured data has 1 problem

    Structured data found ((untyped), Organization and WebPage) but with 1 problem, for example “block has no @type”.

  • No social preview image

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

  • 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.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

  • 66 internal links, 10 external

    The homepage links to 66 pages on iolla.com and 10 external pages.

4 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Premium eyewear at £85 all in.”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place.

  • XML sitemap found

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

AI search readiness

100
  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://iolla.com/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.

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.

  • Organization data: 4 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, sameAs (social profiles) and description; logo and contact details would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (547 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

5 to fix76
  • 2 pages share a title

    https://iolla.com/sunglasses and https://iolla.com/collections/sunglasses all use the title “Sunglasses”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 5 pages without a meta description

    https://iolla.com/festive-gift-card-2026, https://iolla.com/ps25-every-extra-pair, https://iolla.com/collections/accessoriesandgifts, https://iolla.com/happiness-guarantee and https://iolla.com/pricing have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 2 pages share a meta description

    https://iolla.com/sunglasses and https://iolla.com/collections/sunglasses use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 1 link to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example https://iolla.com/sunglasses, whose canonical is https://iolla.com/collections/sunglasses. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 1 page without an H1

    https://iolla.com/favourites has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 1 page with very little text

    https://iolla.com/favourites has under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 40 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

3 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • 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
  • 5 small tap targets

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

  • 3 JavaScript errors while loading

    3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Invalid or unexpected token”.

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

1 to fix93
  • 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.

  • About 566 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 566 words of visible text.

6 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “SHOP GLASSES” and “SHOP NOW”.

  • 9 calls to action

    The homepage has 9 calls to action, for example “LEARN MORE”, “Shop glasses” and “See full pricing”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: a star rating and 1 trust badge.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Clarity and Hotjar.

  • Risk reducer mentioned

    A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.

Privacy and tracking

  • 4 trackers load before any consent

    4

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Microsoft Clarity (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (OneTrust) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 4 cookies set on arrival

    4

    Opening the homepage sets 4 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 27 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 27 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: OneTrust

    A consent management tool (OneTrust) loads with the page.

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 iolla.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
