Speed

14 to fix39
  • Main-thread work: 31.3 s

    A phone's processor spends 31.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 8.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Shopify adds 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    Shopify costs a phone 1.1 s of main-thread work and 1.5 MB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

  • Mobile performance score: 39

    39/100

    Your mobile performance score is 39. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • 4,880 HTML elements

    The page has 4,880 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Clarity and PayPal and others), adding 2.7 MB and 3.2 s of main-thread time.

  • Render-blocking requests

    950 ms

    4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 950 ms.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    838 KiB

    About 838 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Clarity adds 681 ms

    681 ms

    Clarity costs a phone 681 ms of main-thread work and 29 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.

  • PayPal adds 541 ms

    541 ms

    PayPal costs a phone 541 ms of main-thread work and 392 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.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    440 KiB

    21 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (440 KiB).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    300 ms · 98 KiB

    About 98 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Klaviyo adds 356 ms

    356 ms

    Klaviyo costs a phone 356 ms of main-thread work and 205 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.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 375 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • azurefd.net adds 243 ms

    243 ms

    azurefd.net costs a phone 243 ms of main-thread work and 329 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

    159 KiB

    4 images could be 159 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Font display

    50 ms

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

  • Legacy JavaScript

    35 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 35 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Minify CSS

    11 KiB

    11 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 28 ms

    28 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 28 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix67
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

  • Time to Interactive: 35.1 s

    35.1 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 35.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 3.3 s

    3.3 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 3.3 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 7.6 s

    7.6 s

    Your largest element takes 7.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Professional Cutting & Thinning Shears”.

  • Speed Index: 7.0 s

    7.0 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 7.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Real-user INP: 216 ms

    216 ms

    Real visitors wait 216 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +3%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 203 ms to 196 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    +7%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.6 s to 1.6 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

6 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 2.3 s

    2.3 s

    Real visitors wait 2.3 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.6 s

    1.6 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.6 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 719 ms

    719 ms

    Real visitors wait 719 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.7 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.003

    0.003

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.003, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

2 to fix63
  • Page weight: 8.1 MB in 766 requests

    8.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 8.1 MB in 766 requests on a phone: images 3.2 MB (65), scripts 2.4 MB (326) and other files 1.5 MB (316). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 7 images below the first screen load straight away

    7 images further down the page (546 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (41 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 2.3 g of CO₂ per visit

    2.30 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.30 g of CO₂e: 276.5 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 7988
  • Invalid ARIA attributes

    8 elements use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.

  • 8 tap targets too small

    8 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes (4 elements)

    Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 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.

  • 11 images without alt text

    11 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 9 links without text

    9 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • 8 form fields without a label

    8 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h3, h2 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 48 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: 48 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

2 to fixGoogle 10094
  • 2 H1 headlines

    There are 2 <h1> headlines (“L3VEL3” and “Professional Cutting & Thinning Shears”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • No favicon declared

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

  • 192 internal links, 4 external

    The homepage links to 192 pages on lv3.com and 4 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 153 characters

    Your meta description is 153 characters: “Buy L3VEL3 hair products for men and women, home and salon hair styling. Professional hairstylists, shop Level 3 barber…”.

  • Title: 48 characters

    Your title is a healthy 48 characters: “L3VEL3™ | Hair Styling Products, Skincare & More”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://lv3.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization and ProductGroup.

  • 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://lv3.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing sameAs (social profiles), 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
  • 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 (1,010 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://lv3.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 6 pages without a meta description

    https://lv3.com/collections/for-your-hair, https://lv3.com/collections/gloves, https://lv3.com/collections/skincare, https://lv3.com/collections/accessories, https://lv3.com/collections/apparel and https://lv3.com/collections/bundles-sets have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 55 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9678
  • 2 broken images

    2 images failed to load on a phone, for example https://lv3.com/.

  • 4 JavaScript errors while loading

    4 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    76 of 81 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix75
  • No call to action on the first screen

    On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

  • No direct contact details

    No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

  • 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 473 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 473 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • 1 call to action

    The homepage has 1 call to action, for example “Contact information”.

  • 12 short forms

    12 short forms (4 fields at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 31 testimonial or review blocks, a star rating and 3 trust badges.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Microsoft Clarity.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 9 trackers load before any consent

    9

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel and 4 mores (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.

  • 24 cookies set on arrival

    24

    Opening the homepage sets 24 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.

  • 43 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 43 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 lv3.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
