Compare side by sideOne score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Render-blocking requests
3.4 s18 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.4 s.
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.4 s · 267 KiBAbout 267 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.4 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
950 ms · 161 KiB9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (161 KiB).
Mobile performance score: 59
59/100Your mobile performance score is 59. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
7 third-party services on the page
7 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Optanon and Adobe TypeKit and others), adding 1.4 MB and 725 ms of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
450 ms · 84 KiB4 images could be 84 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Shopify adds 461 ms
461 msShopify costs a phone 461 ms of main-thread work and 652 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.
Optanon adds 263 ms
263 msOptanon costs a phone 263 ms of main-thread work and 395 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 CSS
150 ms · 62 KiBAbout 62 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.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 9 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 9 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Font display
100 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).
5 long tasks on the main thread
5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 90 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
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.

Server response: 6 ms
6 msYour server sent the HTML in 6 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 9.0 s
9.0 sYour largest element takes 9.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “We use cookies to improve your experience on our website, t…”.
Time to Interactive: 9.3 s
9.3 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 9.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 6.9 s
6.9 sVisually, the page fills in at 6.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
First Contentful Paint: 3.4 s
3.4 sThe first text or image appears after 3.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.102
0.102The layout shifts by 0.102 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
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.

Total Blocking Time: 82 ms
82 msScripts block the page for only 82 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
About 0.4 g of CO₂ per visit
0.41 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.41 g of CO₂e: 49.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
4 checks passed
Page weight: 1.5 MB in 100 requests
1.5 MBYour homepage downloads 1.5 MB in 100 requests on a phone: scripts 913 KiB (40), fonts 227 KiB (4) and images 140 KiB (16). That is a lean page.
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
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
9 text elements with low contrast
9 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (3 elements)

Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

Every image has alt text
All 4 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
39 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 41 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 39 passed and 2 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
Title is long (69 characters)
Your title is 69 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Kao Beauty Brands - Beauty & Personal Care Products Crafted with Care”.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
Only 2 internal links
The homepage links to only 2 pages on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.
1 link with vague text
1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
5 checks passed
Meta description: 151 characters
Your meta description is 151 characters: “Kao strives to deliver beauty and value to the life of people everywhere. Our brands and products make everyday moments…”.

AI search readiness
Most text only appears after JavaScript runs
12%A phone browser shows 177 words, but the HTML your server sends has only 22. GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot read that HTML without running JavaScript, so they see an almost empty page. Server-side rendering or pre-rendering fixes it.
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.
Organization data: 6 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://mykaoshop.ca/llms.txt (3 KiB, 19 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Best practices
16 small tap targets
16 of 29 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 “Connecting to 'https://use.typekit.net/psd1ant.css' violates the following Content Security Policy directive: "connect-…”.
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
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.
No calls to action
We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
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.
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.
Only about 177 words
The homepage has only about 177 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
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.
