Compare side by sideOne score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.4 s · 788 KiBAbout 788 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.6 s · 272 KiB17 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (272 KiB).
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (automizely.com, Google CDN and Facebook and others), adding 2.2 MB and 1.2 s of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 53
53/100Your mobile performance score is 53. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
automizely.com adds 491 ms
491 msautomizely.com costs a phone 491 ms of main-thread work and 946 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.
Google CDN adds 482 ms
482 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 482 ms of main-thread work and 736 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.
Main-thread work: 3.8 s
A phone's processor spends 3.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Improve image delivery
100 ms · 150 KiB10 images could be 150 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 100 ms faster on a phone.
12 long tasks on the main thread
12 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 222 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 31 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 31 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
48 KiBAbout 48 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
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.
Minify JavaScript
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Server response: 8 ms
8 msYour server sent the HTML in 8 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 29.2 s
29.2 sYour largest element takes 29.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Time to Interactive: 36.0 s
36.0 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 36.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 14.3 s
14.3 sVisually, the page fills in at 14.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Total Blocking Time: 451 ms
451 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 451 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
First Contentful Paint: 1.9 s
1.9 sThe first text or image appears after 1.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 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.

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 7.1 MB in 359 requests
7.1 MBYour homepage downloads 7.1 MB in 359 requests on a phone: images 3.4 MB (36), scripts 2.1 MB (119) and other files 1.2 MB (173). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
2 images over 500 KB
2 images weigh 3.1 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
1 image far larger than shown
696 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example Copy_of_Candle_Radiant_-_StudioPulseWeb_7f00ca21-69a9-4b9c-8 at 1,418 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 696 KiB.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
1_43958d81-34ea-40f1-a908-32a75be7c136.svg 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).
3 images in older formats
3 images (113 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.
About 2.0 g of CO₂ per visit
2.02 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.02 g of CO₂e: 242.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
23 text elements with low contrast
23 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
1 link without text
1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 20 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
50 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 2 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No favicon declared
No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.

AI search readiness
4 checks passed

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, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (536 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://keenscents.com/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 https://keenscents.com/collections/candles, which answers with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop it.
1 page without a title
https://keenscents.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.
1 linked page hidden from search
https://keenscents.com/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.
3 pages without a meta description
https://keenscents.com/collections/main-collection, https://keenscents.com/collections/seasonal/seasonal and https://keenscents.com/customer_authentication/redirect have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 page without an H1
https://keenscents.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

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: a star rating. 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 443 words of copy
The homepage carries about 443 words of visible text.
Urgency cues

20 cookies set on arrival
20Opening the homepage sets 20 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.
25 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 25 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 keenscents.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
