Render-blocking requests
1.4 s34 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.
Mobile performance score: 34
34/100Your mobile performance score is 34. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 6.3 s
A phone's processor spends 6.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.4 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 (Google Tag Manager, PayPal and Shopify and others), adding 2.4 MB and 1.9 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
450 ms · 1.2 MBAbout 1.2 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
300 ms · 735 KiB23 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (735 KiB).
Google Tag Manager adds 743 ms
743 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 743 ms of main-thread work and 741 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.
Improve image delivery
660 KiB8 images could be 660 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
16 long tasks on the main thread
16 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 419 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
PayPal adds 327 ms
327 msPayPal costs a phone 327 ms of main-thread work and 390 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.
Shopify adds 254 ms
254 msShopify costs a phone 254 ms of main-thread work and 432 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.
vitals.app adds 182 ms
182 msvitals.app costs a phone 182 ms of main-thread work and 324 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.
1,752 HTML elements
The page has 1,752 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Legacy JavaScript
68 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 68 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Duplicated JavaScript
41 KiB41 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.
Reduce unused CSS
26 KiBAbout 26 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Minify CSS
6 KiB6 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 5.1 MB in 349 requests
5.1 MBYour homepage downloads 5.1 MB in 349 requests on a phone: scripts 2.7 MB (135), images 1,007 KiB (20) and other files 889 KiB (135). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
2 images far larger than shown
460 KiB2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example luxe-story-eyelashes.jpg at 1,023 px wide, shown at 80 px. Resized copies would save about 460 KiB.
1 image in older formats
1 image (54 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 1.5 g of CO₂ per visit
1.46 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.46 g of CO₂e: 175.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

45 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 3 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
3 links with vague text
3 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

Your <h1> is empty.

Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://luxeresearchlab.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: Organization and WebSite.
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://luxeresearchlab.com/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.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,294 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://luxeresearchlab.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
2 linked pages hidden from search
https://luxeresearchlab.com/products/bundle-foundation and https://luxeresearchlab.com/products/luxe-serum-de-pestanas are marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If they are meant to be found, remove the noindex.
2 pages share a title
https://luxeresearchlab.com/products/bundle-foundation and https://luxeresearchlab.com/products/gg-foundation all use the title “Luxe - Color Changing Foundation - Luxe Research”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
4 pages without a meta description
https://luxeresearchlab.com/collections/all, https://luxeresearchlab.com/collections/bestsellers, https://luxeresearchlab.com/products/luxe%E2%84%A2-air-foundation and https://luxeresearchlab.com/collections/best-seller have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
5 pages share a meta description
https://luxeresearchlab.com/products/luxe-balm-upsells, https://luxeresearchlab.com/products/bundle-foundation, https://luxeresearchlab.com/products/primer, https://luxeresearchlab.com/products/gg-foundation and https://luxeresearchlab.com/products/luxe-daily-five use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
3 links to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 3 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example https://luxeresearchlab.com/products/luxe%E2%84%A2-air-foundation, whose canonical is https://luxeresearchlab.com/products/luxe%e2%84%a2-air-foundation. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
4 pages without an H1
https://luxeresearchlab.com/collections/all, https://luxeresearchlab.com/collections/bestsellers, https://luxeresearchlab.com/apps/track123 and https://luxeresearchlab.com/collections/best-seller have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

Phone number is not tap-to-call
Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
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 680 words of copy
The homepage carries about 680 words of visible text.
6 checks passed

44 cookies set on arrival
44Opening the homepage sets 44 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

Security, domain, email and software versions
