Speed

8 to fix56
  • Render-blocking requests

    5.0 s

    13 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 5.0 s.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.6 s · 688 KiB

    About 688 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.6 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 56

    56/100

    Your mobile performance score is 56. 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 (Shopify, Azure Web Services and Klaviyo and others), adding 1.4 MB and 640 ms of main-thread time.

  • Improve image delivery

    414 KiB

    14 images could be 414 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Main-thread work: 2.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Shopify adds 159 ms

    159 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 159 ms of main-thread work and 408 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.

  • Klaviyo adds 102 ms

    102 ms

    Klaviyo costs a phone 102 ms of main-thread work and 313 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

    200 ms · 185 KiB

    13 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (185 KiB).

  • Minify JavaScript

    150 ms · 35 KiB

    35 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 6 long tasks on the main thread

    6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 157 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    48 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 48 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    39 KiB

    About 39 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • 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: 6 ms

    6 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 6 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix100
  • First Contentful Paint: 6.6 s

    6.6 s

    The first text or image appears after 6.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 16.1 s

    16.1 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 16.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 6.6 s

    6.6 s

    Your largest element takes 6.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Since 1994, Mistral has crafted exceptional quality soaps a…”.

  • Speed Index: 8.0 s

    8.0 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 8.0 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.

  • Total Blocking Time: 223 ms

    223 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 223 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    -4%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 99 ms to 98 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -4%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.1 s to 1.1 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.0 s

    1.0 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.0 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 494 ms

    494 ms

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 3.5 MB in 274 requests

    3.5 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.5 MB in 274 requests on a phone: scripts 1.4 MB (74), other files 1,010 KiB (146) and images 849 KiB (40). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 5 images below the first screen load straight away

    5 images further down the page (164 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.98 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.98 g of CO₂e: 118.1 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

7 to fixGoogle 8592
  • ARIA attributes must conform to valid names (17 elements)

    ARIA attributes must conform to valid names: 17 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (39 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 39 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • No main landmark

    The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

  • Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)

    Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 8 form fields without a label

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

  • 7 links without text

    7 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • 1 text element with low contrast

    1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h6), 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.

  • 40 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 46 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 40 passed and 6 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 8575
  • No meta description

    No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • No structured data

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

  • 14 links crawlers can't follow

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

  • Open Graph partly set

    Open Graph is missing og:description, so shared links fall back to guesses.

  • 133 internal links, 4 external

    The homepage links to 133 pages on mistralsoap.com and 4 external pages.

4 checks passed
  • Title: 60 characters

    Your title is a healthy 60 characters: “Mistral - Luxury French Bath & Body: Men's Grooming products”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • 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.mistralsoap.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 (889 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 2 pages without a meta description

    https://www.mistralsoap.com/collections/holiday-bar-soap-collection and https://www.mistralsoap.com/collections/luxe-bar-soap-collection have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 95 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    3 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.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 3 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9291
  • 4 JavaScript errors while loading

    4 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()”.

  • 14 distorted images

    14 images are displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so they look stretched or squashed.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    17 of 18 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

4 to fix58
  • No call to action on the first screen

    On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 18 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 321 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 321 words of visible text.

2 checks passed
  • 3 calls to action

    The homepage has 3 calls to action, for example “Shop By Scent”, “Shop By Product” and “Contact”.

  • 8 short forms

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

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 6 trackers load before any consent

    6

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel and 1 more (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.

  • 24 cookies set on arrival

    24

    Opening the homepage sets 24 cookies, 2 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.

  • 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 mistralsoap.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
