Speed

10 to fix56
  • Avoid multiple page redirects

    21.9 s

    The page goes through 4 redirects before it starts loading, costing about 21.9 s. Link and advertise the final URL directly.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.9 s · 493 KiB

    About 493 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.9 s faster on a phone.

  • Main-thread work: 4.3 s

    A phone's processor spends 4.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.7 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 (Klaviyo, lerub.com and cloudfront.net and others), adding 7.9 MB and 401 ms of main-thread time.

  • Mobile performance score: 56

    56/100

    Your mobile performance score is 56. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • lerub.com adds 96 ms

    96 ms

    lerub.com costs a phone 96 ms of main-thread work and 7.3 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.

  • Document request latency

    600 ms

    The HTML itself could arrive about 600 ms sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.

  • Improve image delivery

    300 ms · 131 KiB

    4 images could be 131 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • 2,654 HTML elements

    The page has 2,654 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Klaviyo adds 221 ms

    221 ms

    Klaviyo costs a phone 221 ms of main-thread work and 332 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.

  • 8 long tasks on the main thread

    8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 141 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    19 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 19 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    5 KiB

    2 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (5 KiB).

  • 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 KiB

    3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 4 ms

    4 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix57
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 22.2 s

    22.2 s

    Your largest element takes 22.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 22.5 s

    22.5 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 22.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 8.3 s

    8.3 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 8.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 372 ms

    372 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 372 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.1 s

    2.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.1 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.

1 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

3 to fix53
  • Page weight: 71.2 MB in 485 requests

    71.2 MB

    Your homepage downloads 71.2 MB in 485 requests on a phone: media 66.2 MB (21), scripts 1.7 MB (181) and images 1.4 MB (23). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    LE_RUB-10067778.jpg 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

    59 KiB

    1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example LE_RUB-10067778.jpg at 1,500 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 59 KiB.

  • 2 images in older formats

    2 images (139 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 20.2 g of CO₂ per visit

    20.18 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 20.18 g of CO₂e: 2421.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

1 to fixGoogle 9498
  • Images must have alternative text (1 element)

    Images must have alternative text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h3 and h1 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 42 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 43 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 42 passed and 1 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 8584
  • Title is long (69 characters)

    Your title is 69 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Le Rub | SPF Sunscreen & Skincare, Made in Italy Homepage – Le Rub EU”.

  • 3 H1 headlines

    There are 3 <h1> headlines (“Your Daily Glow.”, “Your Daily Glow.” and “Wear Protection”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • Structured data has 1 problem

    Structured data found (Organization and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “Organization: url points at a different host (https://lerub.com)”.

  • 89 internal links, 10 external

    The homepage links to 89 pages on lerub.nl and 10 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Meta description: 140 characters

    Your meta description is 140 characters: “iscover Le Rub's premium SPF sunscreens and skincare, crafted in Italy with Mediterranean botanicals. Protect, repair, …”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://lerub.nl/.

  • 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://lerub.nl/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix83
  • Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

2 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.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

4 to fix68
  • 1 page without a title

    https://lerub.nl/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.

  • 1 linked page hidden from search

    https://lerub.nl/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

  • 4 pages without a meta description

    https://lerub.nl/collections/gifts, https://lerub.nl/pages/about, https://lerub.nl/pages/manifesto and https://lerub.nl/customer_authentication/redirect have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 4 pages without an H1

    https://lerub.nl/pages/about, https://lerub.nl/pages/manifesto, https://lerub.nl/customer_authentication/redirect and https://lerub.nl/pages/contact have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 23 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.

  • 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

3 to fixGoogle 7785
  • 4 small tap targets

    4 of 7 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 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 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

5 to fix50
  • 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 social proof

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

  • 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.

  • Only about 79 words

    The homepage has only about 79 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • 10 calls to action

    The homepage has 10 calls to action, for example “Shop”, “Shop all” and “Shop Glow Drops SPF50”.

  • 18 short forms

    18 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 6 trackers load before any consent

    6

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel and 1 more (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.

  • 25 cookies set on arrival

    25

    Opening the homepage sets 25 cookies, 19 of them by other companies (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.

  • 32 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 32 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 lerub.nl, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.

Apps on your store

Your storefront loads 6 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
