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
Main-thread work: 6.8 s
A phone's processor spends 6.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
4,302 HTML elements
The page has 4,302 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Mobile performance score: 51
51/100Your mobile performance score is 51 (desktop: 76). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
835 KiB197 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (835 KiB).
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Shopify and nfcube.com and others), adding 227 KiB and 204 ms of main-thread time.
16 long tasks on the main thread
16 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 221 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused JavaScript
150 ms · 25 KiBAbout 25 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 19 KiBAbout 19 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.
Render-blocking requests
150 ms3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 150 ms.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 76 but mobile only 51. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.
Improve image delivery
6 KiB1 image could be 6 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Minify JavaScript
6 KiB6 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.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.4 MB in 798 requests
3.4 MBYour homepage downloads 3.4 MB in 798 requests on a phone: images 2.1 MB (626), other files 790 KiB (107) and scripts 396 KiB (51). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
diaporama-enigma-1080x1920_4b817ac7-38c5-4833-b88b-2180f47db 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 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: 115.7 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
5 tap targets too small
5 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
2 images without alt text
2 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
1 link without text
1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (1 element)
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (2 elements).

48 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: 48 passed and 5 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Meta description is long (173 characters)
Your meta description is 173 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
271 internal links, 3 external
The homepage links to 271 pages on morel.com and 3 external pages.
7 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “MOREL”.
Title: 42 characters
Your title is a healthy 42 characters: “MOREL Eyewear │ Looking forward since 1880”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://morel.com/en.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, Organization 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://morel.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
Organization data is thin (2 of 6 facts)
Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, 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.
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 (1,781 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://morel.com/llms.txt (5 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
14 pages without a meta description
https://morel.com/en/pages/redirect, https://morel.com/en/pages/about-morel, https://morel.com/en/collections/sunglasses, https://morel.com/en/pages/collaborations, https://morel.com/en/pages/store-locator and https://morel.com/en/collections/enigma and 8 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
6 pages without an H1
https://morel.com/en/pages/redirect, https://morel.com/en/pages/about-morel, https://morel.com/en/pages/collaborations, https://morel.com/en/pages/store-locator, https://morel.com/en/pages/morel-par-jean-nouvel and https://morel.com/en/pages/morel-constance-guisset have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
2 pages with very little text
https://morel.com/en/pages/store-locator and https://morel.com/en/collections/origin have under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

Content and conversion
No call to action on the first screen

Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 4 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No analytics detected

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.

11 cookies set on arrival
11Opening the homepage sets 11 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
