Speed

11 to fix31
  • Mobile performance score: 31

    31/100

    Your 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 ms

    Shopify 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 KiB

    20 images could be 993 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Render-blocking requests

    950 ms

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

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    150 ms · 674 KiB

    About 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 ms

    alia-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 ms

    Google 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 KiB

    17 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 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    41 KiB

    About 41 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Minify JavaScript

    39 KiB

    39 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    35 KiB

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

  • Minify CSS

    8 KiB

    8 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: 17 ms

    17 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 17 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

10 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.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.81

    0.81

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.81 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 16.5 s

    16.5 s

    Your 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?”.

  • Time to Interactive: 31.2 s

    31.2 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 31.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 14.5 s

    14.5 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 14.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.84

    0.84

    The 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

    352 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 352 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.0 s

    2.0 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 4 images without width and height

    4 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -7%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.6 s to 1.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

4 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 2.0 s

    2.0 s

    Real visitors wait 2.0 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 161 ms

    161 ms

    Real visitors wait 161 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.3 s

    1.3 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.3 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 668 ms

    668 ms

    Real visitors wait 668 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

Images and page weight

4 to fix43
  • Page weight: 41.3 MB in 461 requests

    41.3 MB

    Your 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 KiB

    4 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 g

    By 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

9 to fixGoogle 8088
  • 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).

1 checks passed
  • 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

6 to fixGoogle 7777
  • 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.

4 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.madamglam.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization and WebSite.

  • 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://www.madamglam.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
  • 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 to fix95
  • 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.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 72 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    2 pages of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

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

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 1 page that loaded have a meta description.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 1 page that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9687
  • 19 small tap targets

    19 of 60 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

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

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix86
  • No analytics detected

    No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

  • 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.

  • About 494 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 494 words of visible text.

5 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Learn More” and “Shop Now”.

  • 11 calls to action

    The homepage has 11 calls to action, for example “Sign In / Sign Up”, “Learn More” and “Shop Now”.

  • 7 short forms

    7 short forms (2 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 6 customer or partner logos, 4 trust badges and “50,000+ Reviews”.

  • Risk reducer mentioned

    A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 8 trackers load before any consent

    8

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel and 3 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.

  • 38 cookies set on arrival

    38

    Opening the homepage sets 38 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (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.

  • 53 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 53 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
