Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.3 MB
2.3 MBYour homepage downloads 2.3 MB on a phone, 733 KiB of it images (32%). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image in older formats
1 image (37 KiB) is 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 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit
0.64 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.64 g of CO₂e: 76.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
2 buttons without a name
2 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
2 text elements with low contrast
2 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
15 images without alt text
15 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.
13 links without text
13 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (7 elements)
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 7 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
49 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 56 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 passed and 7 failed. 5 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
One H1 headline
Your <h1> is empty.
219 internal links, 8 external
The homepage links to 219 pages on livingproof.co.uk and 8 external pages.

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://www.livingproof.co.uk/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
4 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, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.

Other pages
12 pages share a meta description
https://www.livingproof.co.uk/collections/black-friday-exclusives, https://www.livingproof.co.uk/collections/all, https://www.livingproof.co.uk/pages/subscribe-save, https://www.livingproof.co.uk/pages/dry-shampoo, https://www.livingproof.co.uk/collections/shampoos-conditioners and https://www.livingproof.co.uk/collections/masks and 6 others use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
2 links to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 2 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example https://www.livingproof.co.uk/collections/hairspray/products/style-lab-flex-hairspray, whose canonical is https://www.livingproof.co.uk/products/style-lab-flex-hairspray.

Content and conversion

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.
