Speed
Mobile performance score: 31
31/100Your mobile performance score is 31. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 5.5 s
A phone's processor spends 5.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
5,342 HTML elements
The page has 5,342 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 (alia-prod.com, Shopify and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 35.1 MB and 1.3 s of main-thread time.
Shopify adds 292 ms
292 msShopify costs a phone 292 ms of main-thread work and 33.9 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.
Improve image delivery
993 KiB20 images could be 993 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Render-blocking requests
950 ms14 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 950 ms.
Reduce unused JavaScript
150 ms · 674 KiBAbout 674 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
alia-prod.com adds 383 ms
383 msalia-prod.com costs a phone 383 ms of main-thread work and 310 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.
Google Tag Manager adds 272 ms
272 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 272 ms of main-thread work and 337 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
262 KiB17 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (262 KiB).
11 long tasks on the main thread
11 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 235 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
100 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).
Reduce unused CSS
41 KiBAbout 41 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Minify JavaScript
39 KiB39 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Legacy JavaScript
35 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 35 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify CSS
8 KiB8 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.

Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

Real-user CLS: 0.81
0.81For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.81 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
Largest Contentful Paint: 16.5 s
16.5 sYour largest element takes 16.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “ARE YOU A NAIL TECH, SALON OR DISTRIBUTOR?”.

14.5 sVisually, the page fills in at 14.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.84
0.84The layout shifts by 0.84 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
Tap response (INP) got 20% slower for real visitors
+20%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 121 ms to 149 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Total Blocking Time: 352 ms

First Contentful Paint: 2.0 s
2.0 sThe first text or image appears after 2.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
4 images without width and height

Images and page weight
Page weight: 41.3 MB in 461 requests
41.3 MBYour homepage downloads 41.3 MB in 461 requests on a phone: media 33.9 MB (15), images 4.5 MB (118) and scripts 1.7 MB (99). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
10 images below the first screen load straight away
10 images further down the page (1.0 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
4 images far larger than shown
471 KiB4 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example original-2.webp at 810 px wide, shown at 178 px. Resized copies would save about 471 KiB.
3 images in older formats
3 images (527 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 11.7 g of CO₂ per visit
11.71 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 11.71 g of CO₂e: 1405.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
43 text elements with low contrast
43 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
<dt> and <dd> elements must be contained by a <dl> (16 elements)
<dt> and <dd> elements must be contained by a <dl>: 16 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
<dl> elements must only directly contain properly-ordered <dt> and <dd> groups, <script>, <template> or <div> elements (8 elements)
<dl> elements must only directly contain properly-ordered <dt> and <dd> groups, <script>, <template> or <div> elements: 8 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
Scrollable region must have keyboard access (2 elements)
Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
1 tap target too small
1 tap target is too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
14 images without alt text
14 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (18 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 18 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
5 form fields without a label
5 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.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (2 elements).

51 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 59 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 51 passed and 8 failed. 7 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (67 characters)
Your title is 67 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “HEMA-Free, TPO-Free Gel Polish, | Vegan & Cruelty-Free | Madam Glam”.
7 H1 headlines
There are 7 <h1> headlines (“”, “Are you a Nail tech, Salon or Distributor?” and “RESET YOUR PASSWORD”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Meta description is long (317 characters)
Your meta description is 317 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
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.
1 link crawlers can't follow
1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.
189 internal links, 12 external
The homepage links to 189 pages on madamglam.com and 12 external pages.

AI search readiness
No llms.txt
There is no https://www.madamglam.com/llms.txt, a short Markdown guide to your key pages for AI tools (llmstxt.org). It is optional and few AI tools read it yet, so treat it as a cheap extra.
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.
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 (1,665 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 page without an H1
https://www.madamglam.com/collections/essentials-tools has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
