Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Render-blocking requests
1.1 s7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
950 ms · 231 KiB18 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (231 KiB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
900 ms · 261 KiBAbout 261 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 58
58/100Your mobile performance score is 58. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Klaviyo adds 106 ms
106 msKlaviyo costs a phone 106 ms of main-thread work and 312 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.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (zinrelo.com, Klaviyo and Shopify and others), adding 959 KiB and 406 ms of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
250 ms · 44 KiB3 images could be 44 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 250 ms faster on a phone.
2 long tasks on the main thread
2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 96 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
19 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 19 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Reduce unused CSS
18 KiBAbout 18 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Minify JavaScript
12 KiB12 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
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.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 1.9 s

Server response: 8 ms
8 msYour server sent the HTML in 8 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 14.3 s
14.3 sYour largest element takes 14.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Time to Interactive: 14.4 s
14.4 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 14.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
First Contentful Paint: 4.9 s
4.9 sThe first text or image appears after 4.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Speed Index: 7.5 s
7.5 sVisually, the page fills in at 7.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
10 images without width and height
10 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
0%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 129 ms to 128 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.4 MB in 221 requests
3.4 MBYour homepage downloads 3.4 MB in 221 requests on a phone: images 1.3 MB (28), scripts 953 KiB (76) and other files 748 KiB (91). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
3 images below the first screen load straight away
3 images further down the page (103 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit
0.96 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.96 g of CO₂e: 115.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
Hidden but focusable
5 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
Heading levels should only increase by one (1 element)
Heading levels should only increase by one: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 27 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
51 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 51 passed and 2 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
5 H1 headlines
There are 5 <h1> headlines (“'Tis the season for savings!”, “More Hydration, More Definition.” and “Results You Can C Rewards You Can Use”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Meta description is long (163 characters)
Your meta description is 163 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
67 internal links, 10 external
The homepage links to 67 pages on malibuwellness.com and 10 external pages.
5 checks passed
Title: 58 characters
Your title is a healthy 58 characters: “Malibu C® | Sustainable & Plant-Based Hair Care & Skincare”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://malibuc.com/.
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://malibuc.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
No Organization structured data
There is no Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants have no machine-readable facts about who runs the site: its name, logo, profiles and contact details.
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 (700 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://malibuc.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
1 page without a title
https://malibuc.com/pages/pro-dashboard has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.
1 page without a meta description
https://malibuc.com/pages/pro-dashboard has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 page without an H1
https://malibuc.com/pages/pro-dashboard 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 44 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

Content and conversion
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 13 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
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.
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 543 words of copy
The homepage carries about 543 words of visible text.
3 checks passed
