Speed

13 to fix48
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    5.8 s · 1.2 MB

    About 1.2 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 5.8 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    3.5 s · 958 KiB

    17 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (958 KiB).

  • Render-blocking requests

    3.1 s

    67 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.1 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 48

    48/100

    Your mobile performance score is 48. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 4.0 s

    A phone's processor spends 4.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.7 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, Google CDN and PayPal and others), adding 8.2 MB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.

  • Improve image delivery

    850 ms · 484 KiB

    8 images could be 484 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 850 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    870 ms · 178 KiB

    About 178 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 870 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google Fonts adds 1 ms

    1 ms

    Google Fonts costs a phone 1 ms of main-thread work and 5.3 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.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 409 ms

    409 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 409 ms of main-thread work and 832 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 CDN adds 336 ms

    336 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 336 ms of main-thread work and 1,010 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.

  • 1,955 HTML elements

    The page has 1,955 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Other Google APIs/SDKs adds 30 ms

    30 ms

    Other Google APIs/SDKs costs a phone 30 ms of main-thread work and 520 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.

  • Minify JavaScript

    130 ms · 17 KiB

    17 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 13 long tasks on the main thread

    13 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 130 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).

  • Minify CSS

    11 KiB

    11 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    10 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 10 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • 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: 5 ms

    5 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 5 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

8 to fix100
  • 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.

  • First Contentful Paint: 7.8 s

    7.8 s

    The first text or image appears after 7.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 24.7 s

    24.7 s

    Your largest element takes 24.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 30.4 s

    30.4 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 30.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 13.4 s

    13.4 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 13.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    Real visitors wait 1.1 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Total Blocking Time: 311 ms

    311 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 311 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 5 images without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) got 19% slower for real visitors

    +19%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 116 ms to 137 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -8%

    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).

5 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 2.0 s

    2.0 s

  • 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.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.033

    0.033

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.033, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

3 to fix50
  • Page weight: 10.5 MB in 283 requests

    10.5 MB

    Your homepage downloads 10.5 MB in 283 requests on a phone: fonts 5.4 MB (17), scripts 2.8 MB (110) and images 1.4 MB (31). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 8 images in older formats

    8 images (598 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.

  • 1 image far larger than shown

    20 KiB

    1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example makeup_artist_s_choice.webp at 1,376 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 20 KiB.

  • About 3.0 g of CO₂ per visit

    2.97 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.97 g of CO₂e: 355.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images load when needed

    Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.

Accessibility

8 to fixGoogle 8991
  • ARIA commands must have an accessible name (4 elements)

    ARIA commands must have an accessible name: 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.

  • Frames without titles

    1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (2 elements)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 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.

  • 3 form fields without a label

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

  • ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (4 elements)

    ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

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

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

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (3 elements).

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 49 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 50 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 57 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 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 9290
  • Title is long (82 characters)

    Your title is 82 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “At-Home Chemical Peels & Professional Skincare Since 1997 - Makeup Artist's Choice”.

  • 2 links crawlers can't follow

    2 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

  • 172 internal links, 3 external

    The homepage links to 172 pages on makeupartistschoice.com and 3 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 134 characters

AI search readiness

2 to fix75
  • Some text only appears after JavaScript runs

    50%

    The HTML your server sends has 740 of the 1,476 words a browser shows. AI crawlers don't run JavaScript, so they miss the rest.

  • 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.

2 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.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://www.makeupartistschoice.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 43 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 13 pages without a meta description

    https://www.makeupartistschoice.com/collections/the-marketplace, https://www.makeupartistschoice.com/shop, https://www.makeupartistschoice.com/products/fade-peel, https://www.makeupartistschoice.com/collections/glycolic-acid-skin-care, https://www.makeupartistschoice.com/collections/lactic-acids-at-home-chemical-peels and https://www.makeupartistschoice.com/products/muac-jessner-s-peel and 7 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 12 pages without an H1

    https://www.makeupartistschoice.com/collections/the-marketplace, https://www.makeupartistschoice.com/shop, https://www.makeupartistschoice.com/collections/glycolic-acid-skin-care, https://www.makeupartistschoice.com/collections/lactic-acids-at-home-chemical-peels, https://www.makeupartistschoice.com/collections/phytic-acid and https://www.makeupartistschoice.com/collections/salicylic-acid-peels and 6 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 7391
  • 1 third-party cookie

    1 third-party cookie is set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • 3 JavaScript errors while loading

    3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Uncaught TypeError: e is not a function”.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    20 of 23 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix83
  • No social proof

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

  • Local business without LocalBusiness data

    Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.

  • No opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • No map or directions link

    There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

  • About 1,476 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,476 words of visible text.

  • Urgency cues

    The page uses urgency cues (a countdown or limited-time wording).

7 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

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

  • 6 calls to action

    The homepage has 6 calls to action, for example “Shop”, “Learn More »” and “Your cart is empty. Shop now →”.

  • 4 short forms

    4 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics.

  • Direct contact links

    Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.

  • 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
  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (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.

  • 17 cookies set on arrival

    17

    Opening the homepage sets 17 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.

  • 24 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 24 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 makeupartistschoice.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
