Speed

8 to fix60
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.9 s · 626 KiB

    About 626 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.9 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.1 s

    12 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 60

    60/100

    Your mobile performance score is 60. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Clarity and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 1.1 MB and 679 ms of main-thread time.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    500 ms · 140 KiB

    39 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (140 KiB).

  • Main-thread work: 3.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Shopify adds 156 ms

    156 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 156 ms of main-thread work and 317 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.

  • 1,799 HTML elements

    The page has 1,799 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Improve image delivery

    224 KiB

    3 images could be 224 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 69 KiB

    About 69 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    100 ms · 62 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 62 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 100 ms faster on a phone.

  • 8 long tasks on the main thread

    8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 143 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • 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: 8 ms

    8 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 8 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 17.5 MB in 341 requests

    17.5 MB

    Your homepage downloads 17.5 MB in 341 requests on a phone: media 14.0 MB (2), scripts 1.3 MB (124) and other files 919 KiB (139). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (261 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 5.0 g of CO₂ per visit

    4.97 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 4.97 g of CO₂e: 596.4 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

4 to fixGoogle 9496
  • 3 text elements with low contrast

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (3 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Links look like plain text

    1 link inside paragraphs relies on colour alone to stand out.

  • 1 link without text

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

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 20 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 53 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 55 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 53 passed and 2 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 9288
  • Meta description is long (269 characters)

    Your meta description is 269 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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.

3 checks passed

    Your robots.txt lets the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity read the site and cite it in answers.

Other pages

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 6 trackers load before any consent

    6

  • 15 cookies set on arrival

    15

    Opening the homepage sets 15 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 40 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 40 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 luvlou.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
