Google PageSpeed Insights (opens in a new tab), mobile
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
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
58/100Your mobile performance score is 58. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
450 ms · 89 KiBAbout 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 msShopify 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 ms15 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 250 ms.
Improve image delivery
48 KiB3 images could be 48 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Reduce unused CSS
22 KiBAbout 22 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
20 KiB7 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (20 KiB).
Minify JavaScript
9 KiB9 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.

Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 7.7 s
7.7 sYour 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 sVisually, the page fills in at 11.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Time to Interactive: 13.1 s
13.1 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 13.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
First Contentful Paint: 2.1 s
2.1 sThe first text or image appears after 2.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Total Blocking Time: 275 ms
275 msScripts 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.

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.4 MB in 560 requests
3.4 MBYour 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 gBy 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
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).

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
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

AI search readiness

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
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.
