Speed

8 to fix67
  • Render-blocking requests

    2.7 s

    15 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.7 s.

  • Main-thread work: 4.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 4.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Mobile performance score: 67

    67/100

    Your mobile performance score is 67. 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, Unpkg and Klaviyo and others), adding 1.6 MB and 776 ms of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    629 KiB

    About 629 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Shopify adds 484 ms

    484 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 484 ms of main-thread work and 838 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.

  • 2,922 HTML elements

    The page has 2,922 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Unpkg adds 189 ms

    189 ms

    Unpkg costs a phone 189 ms of main-thread work and 593 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.

  • 9 long tasks on the main thread

    9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 170 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Improve image delivery

    102 KiB

    5 images could be 102 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Minify JavaScript

    35 KiB

    35 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    25 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 25 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    14 KiB

    6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (14 KiB).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    11 KiB

    About 11 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.

  • Minify CSS

    2 KiB

    2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Server response: 26 ms

    26 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 26 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix71
  • Time to Interactive: 15.8 s

    15.8 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 15.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 7.7 s

    7.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 7.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 3.9 s

    3.9 s

    Your largest element takes 3.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Modern Salon Services”. Most of its time is resource load delay (2.1 s).

  • Total Blocking Time: 356 ms

    356 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 356 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.1 s

    2.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.102

    0.102

    The layout shifts by 0.102 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • 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 78 ms to 79 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    +7%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.3 s to 1.4 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • 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.

Images and page weight

2 to fix81
  • Page weight: 3.1 MB in 208 requests

    3.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.1 MB in 208 requests on a phone: scripts 1.6 MB (68), other files 837 KiB (97) and images 334 KiB (11). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    MSSBannerM1_eeca70cc-d5e2-4154-9d4b-8fe7108f8f8e.jpg is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).

  • About 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.89 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.89 g of CO₂e: 106.4 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

3 to fixGoogle 8996
  • 1 button without a name

    1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (3 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 1 form field without a label

    1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h4 → h6, h4 → h6 and h3 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 81 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 48 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: 48 passed and 3 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 8581
  • No H1 headline

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

  • Title is short (21 characters)

    Your title is only 21 characters: “Modern Salon Services”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • 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.

  • 221 internal links, 11 external

    The homepage links to 221 pages on modernsalonservices.com and 11 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 147 characters

    Your meta description is 147 characters: “A New Era of Salon Excellence. Shop professional haircare, color, and education from leading brands like Davines—design…”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://modernsalonservices.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization, WebPage and WebSite.

  • 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://modernsalonservices.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
4 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, sameAs (social profiles) and contact details; logo and description would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,117 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://modernsalonservices.com/llms.txt (5 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

1 to fix98
  • 10 pages share a meta description

    https://modernsalonservices.com/pages/about, https://modernsalonservices.com/collections/holiday, https://modernsalonservices.com/pages/shop-by-brand, https://modernsalonservices.com/collections/duomo-1, https://modernsalonservices.com/collections/loma and https://modernsalonservices.com/collections/olivia-garden and 4 others use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 87 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

7 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.

  • Every page has a meta description

  • Titles are unique

    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

2 to fixGoogle 9687
  • 25 small tap targets

    25 of 63 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 3 JavaScript errors while loading

    3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Customer is not defined”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

5 to fix69
  • 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 phone number on the homepage

    A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 6 customer or partner logos. 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 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.

  • 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 405 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 405 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “SHOP HOLIDAY!” and “REGISTER TODAY”.

  • 38 calls to action

    The homepage has 38 calls to action, for example “Shop By Brand”, “Shop All” and “SHOP NOW!”.

  • 4 short forms

    4 short forms (3 fields at most) are right on the homepage.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 4 trackers load before any consent

    4

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

  • 16 cookies set on arrival

    16

    Opening the homepage sets 16 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.

  • 17 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 17 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 modernsalonservices.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.

Apps on your store

Your storefront loads 6 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.

Apps your storefront loads

Timesact Pre Order · Klaviyo Email Marketing Sms · Koala Upsell Gift · Forms · Swym Wishlist Plus · nfcube.com

Apps found in the homepage's code. Apps that only run in checkout or the admin aren't seen, and a headless storefront shows none. App data from programmable.info
