Main-thread work: 7.9 s
A phone's processor spends 7.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.2 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 (Shopify, Klaviyo and POWr and others), adding 1.8 MB and 1.2 s of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 52

Improve image delivery
872 KiB7 images could be 872 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Shopify adds 423 ms
423 msShopify costs a phone 423 ms of main-thread work and 654 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 314 ms
314 msKlaviyo costs a phone 314 ms of main-thread work and 638 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.

298 KiB34 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (298 KiB).
2,748 HTML elements
The page has 2,748 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
azurefd.net adds 84 ms

18 long tasks on the main thread
18 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 118 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript

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.
Minify JavaScript

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
Page weight: 17.8 MB in 408 requests
17.8 MBYour homepage downloads 17.8 MB in 408 requests on a phone: media 11.5 MB (2), scripts 2.5 MB (191) and images 2.1 MB (28). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 5.0 g of CO₂ per visit
5.03 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 5.03 g of CO₂e: 603.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
2 images without alt text
2 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
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.
41 text elements with low contrast
41 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
35 tap targets too small
35 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

5 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 7 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 5 passed and 2 failed. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Canonical points to another host
Your canonical URL points to olfactorynyc.com, not olfactoryny.com, so Google may credit that host instead.
2 H1 headlines
There are 2 <h1> headlines (“Fragrance shouldbe personal” and “Want to gift a truly personalized gift?”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
4 links with vague text
4 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
77 internal links, 70 external
The homepage links to 77 pages on olfactoryny.com and 70 external pages.

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.
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.
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 1,465 words of copy
The homepage carries about 1,465 words of visible text.
4 checks passed

Security, domain, email and software versions
