Speed

7 to fix77
  • Mobile performance score: 77

    77/100

    Your mobile performance score is 77. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Shopify and Accessibe Accessibility Overlay and others), adding 1.7 MB and 809 ms of main-thread time.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 383 ms

    383 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 383 ms of main-thread work and 516 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.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    375 KiB

    About 375 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Main-thread work: 3.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Shopify adds 131 ms

    131 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 131 ms of main-thread work and 458 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.

  • 1,566 HTML elements

    The page has 1,566 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 39 KiB

    About 39 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 4 long tasks on the main thread

    4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 146 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Improve image delivery

    63 KiB

    8 images could be 63 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    51 KiB

    7 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (51 KiB).

  • Font display

    50 ms

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

  • Legacy JavaScript

    30 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 30 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: 9 ms

    9 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 9 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix74
  • Time to Interactive: 14.5 s

    14.5 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 14.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 4.8 s

    4.8 s

    Your largest element takes 4.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Speed Index: 4.8 s

    4.8 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 4.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 15 images without width and height

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

  • Not enough real-visitor data yet

    Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

3 checks passed
  • Total Blocking Time: 161 ms

    161 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 161 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.001

    0.001

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.001, good is under 0.1).

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.1 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

Images and page weight

3 to fix60
  • 1 image over 500 KB

    Banner_image_2000x2000_4dcbeb55-1566-45b2-aa12-fb8d99ac0803_ weighs 543 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • Page weight: 2.4 MB in 191 requests

    2.4 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.4 MB in 191 requests on a phone: scripts 1.4 MB (107), images 477 KiB (36) and fonts 351 KiB (5). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 4 images in older formats

    4 images (700 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 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.68 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.68 g of CO₂e: 81.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • Images load when needed

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

  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

7 to fixGoogle 8190
  • 6 text elements with low contrast

    6 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)

    Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 15 images without alt text

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (4 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Zoom is disabled

    The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

  • 2 form fields without a label

    2 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.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h5, h2 → h5 and h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 44 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 51 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 passed and 7 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 8589
  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • 2 H1 headlines

    There are 2 <h1> headlines (“See Results in Weeks” and “See Results in Weeks”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • 2 links with vague text

    2 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

  • 51 internal links, 4 external

    The homepage links to 51 pages on mdglam.com and 4 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 154 characters

    Your meta description is 154 characters: “MD Glam offers best face & skin care products that are formulated by a surgeon. Unbox the secret to young, wrinkle-free…”.

  • Title: 57 characters

    Your title is a healthy 57 characters: “Best Face & Skin Care Products | Anti-Wrinkle Face Creams”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://mdglam.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://mdglam.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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 (2,040 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 4 pages without a meta description

    /collections/all, /pages/reward-1, /pages/med-spa and /pages/reward have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 page without an H1

    /pages/why-md-glam 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 20 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 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.

  • 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

  • 4 small tap targets

    4 of 9 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 1 low-resolution image

    1 image is served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.

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.

  • 19 cookies set on arrival

    19

    Opening the homepage sets 19 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 36 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 36 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 mdglam.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
