Speed

7 to fix58
  • Main-thread work: 8.0 s

    A phone's processor spends 8.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 4,602 HTML elements

    The page has 4,602 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Mobile performance score: 58

    58/100

    Your mobile performance score is 58. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    450 ms · 89 KiB

    About 89 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • 4 third-party services on the page

    4 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, shop.app and eggflow.net and others), adding 1.8 MB and 276 ms of main-thread time.

  • Shopify adds 254 ms

    254 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 254 ms of main-thread work and 1.7 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.

  • 4 long tasks on the main thread

    4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 262 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Render-blocking requests

    250 ms

    15 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 250 ms.

  • Improve image delivery

    48 KiB

    3 images could be 48 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    22 KiB

    About 22 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    20 KiB

    7 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (20 KiB).

  • Minify JavaScript

    9 KiB

    9 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 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: 11 ms

    11 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 11 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix61
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 7.7 s

    7.7 s

    Your largest element takes 7.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Speed Index: 11.4 s

    11.4 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 11.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 13.1 s

    13.1 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 13.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • 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.

  • Total Blocking Time: 275 ms

    275 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 275 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 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

2 to fix81
  • Page weight: 3.4 MB in 560 requests

    3.4 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.4 MB in 560 requests on a phone: images 1.6 MB (256), other files 818 KiB (128) and scripts 683 KiB (130). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    BotaRetinol2_800x_84eafe72-2e28-4584-beab-41771dcbc92e.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).

  • 2 images in older formats

    2 images (73 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 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.97 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.97 g of CO₂e: 116.7 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 8289
  • 1 button without a name

    1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • 15 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Malformed lists

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

  • 1 image without alt text

    1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (16 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 16 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails 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.

  • 1 link without text

    1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h3, h3 → h6 and h3 → h6), 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. (5 elements).

1 checks passed
  • 46 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 7 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

5 to fixGoogle 10082
  • Meta description is short (50 characters)

    Your meta description is only 50 characters: “Wholesale Beauty Brands for Luxury Spa & Retailers”. 70 to 160 characters is enough to sell the click.

  • 7 H1 headlines

    There are 7 <h1> headlines (“BOM”, “HOLIKA HOLIKA” and “BOM”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • Structured data has 1 problem

    Structured data found (WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “ld+json block 1 is not valid JSON (Unexpected token ',', ..."sameAs": [,,,,,], "... is not va)”.

  • No social preview image

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

  • No favicon declared

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

  • 148 internal links, 58 external

    The homepage links to 148 pages on lmbrands.com and 58 external pages.

4 checks passed
  • Title: 49 characters

    Your title is a healthy 49 characters: “Leading Distributor for Beauty Brands – LM BRANDS”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • 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://lmbrands.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 (1,914 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 11 pages without a meta description

    https://lmbrands.com/pages/lmbrands-com, https://lmbrands.com/collections/apieu, https://lmbrands.com/collections/biodroga, https://lmbrands.com/collections/lash-food, https://lmbrands.com/collections/dr-grandel and https://lmbrands.com/collections/l-m-co and 5 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 14 pages without an H1

    https://lmbrands.com/pages/lmbrands-com, https://lmbrands.com/collections/apieu, https://lmbrands.com/collections/biodroga, https://lmbrands.com/collections/lash-food, https://lmbrands.com/collections/dr-grandel and https://lmbrands.com/collections/l-m-co and 8 others 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 35 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9293

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix75
  • 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 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 979 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 979 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “SIGN UP FOR WHOLESALE ACCOUNT”.

  • 7 calls to action

    The homepage has 7 calls to action, for example “SIGN UP FOR WHOLESALE ACCOUNT”, “CONTACT US” and “Contact Us”.

  • 5 short forms

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

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 0 phone links and 1 email link.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 1 tracker load before any consent

    1

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

  • 7 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 7 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 lmbrands.com, 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.
