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
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.5 s · 1,020 KiBAbout 1,020 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.5 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.1 s · 667 KiB25 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (667 KiB).
Render-blocking requests
1.2 s4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.2 s.
Mobile performance score: 36
36/100Your mobile performance score is 36. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 6.8 s
A phone's processor spends 6.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Usercentrics CMP, PayPal and Shopify and others), adding 1.7 MB and 1.7 s of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
600 ms · 129 KiB2 images could be 129 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
330 ms · 272 KiBAbout 272 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 330 ms faster on a phone.
Usercentrics CMP adds 487 ms
487 msUsercentrics CMP costs a phone 487 ms of main-thread work and 261 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.
PayPal adds 361 ms
361 msPayPal costs a phone 361 ms of main-thread work and 392 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.
Shopify adds 271 ms
271 msShopify costs a phone 271 ms of main-thread work and 373 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.
1,628 HTML elements
The page has 1,628 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 238 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 70 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 70 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Minify CSS
6 KiB6 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
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.

Total Blocking Time: 1.2 s
1.2 sScripts block taps and scrolling for 1.2 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
First Contentful Paint: 2.2 s
2.2 sThe first text or image appears after 2.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 18.2 MB in 302 requests
18.2 MBYour homepage downloads 18.2 MB in 302 requests on a phone: media 14.3 MB (3), scripts 1.9 MB (141) and other files 829 KiB (122). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
12 images in older formats
12 images (747 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.
5 images below the first screen load straight away
5 images further down the page (348 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 5.2 g of CO₂ per visit
5.15 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 5.15 g of CO₂e: 618.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
Unlabelled dropdowns
1 dropdown has no label.
4 images without alt text
4 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
9 links without text
9 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
5 form fields without a label
5 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings should not be empty (1 element)
Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3, h3 → h5 and h2 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
47 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: 47 passed and 6 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

123 internal links, 6 external

Text is in the HTML

llms.txt published
The site publishes https://olaplex.de/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
13 pages without a meta description
https://olaplex.de/collections/alle-produkte, https://olaplex.de/collections/wash-us, https://olaplex.de/collections/treat, https://olaplex.de/collections/stylers, https://olaplex.de/collections/lash-brow and https://olaplex.de/collections/special-sets and 7 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
