patchology.ca website review

Your mobile performance score is 88. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

13 images could be 457 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 350 ms faster on a phone.

4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 500 ms.

A phone's processor spends 2.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 463 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

About 41 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.

7 third-party services load with your homepage (Klaviyo, Shopify and nfcube.com and others), adding 447 KiB and 127 ms of main-thread time.

2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 74 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

Polyfills for old browsers add 19 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

16 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (11 KiB).

6 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

The page becomes fully interactive after 6.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Your largest element takes 3.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 79 ms to 86 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.1 s to 1.1 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 2.2 MB in 202 requests on a phone: other files 738 KiB (83), images 684 KiB (17) and scripts 454 KiB (71). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.63 g of CO₂e: 75.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

7 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: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

8 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

Your title is 83 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Patchology | We believe skin care is the best form of self-care – Patchology Canada”.

Your meta description is 172 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

Your <h1> is empty.

The homepage links to 61 pages on patchology.ca and 5 external pages.

https://patchology.ca/collections/eyes, https://patchology.ca/collections/kits, https://patchology.ca/collections/face, https://patchology.ca/collections/lips, https://patchology.ca/collections/body and https://patchology.ca/collections/all-products have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

https://patchology.ca/collections has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 25 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

12 of 44 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

The homepage carries about 368 words of visible text.

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

Opening the homepage sets 13 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

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.

Loading the homepage contacts 25 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
