Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.3 s · 151 KiB5 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (151 KiB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.1 s · 160 KiBAbout 160 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
1.0 MB23 images could be 1.0 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Mobile performance score: 56
56/100Your mobile performance score is 56. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
1,633 HTML elements
The page has 1,633 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
5 third-party services on the page
5 third-party services load with your homepage (pop-convert.com, Shopify and Klaviyo and others), adding 425 KiB and 247 ms of main-thread time.
Render-blocking requests
100 ms6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 100 ms.
2 long tasks on the main thread
2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 97 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
19 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 19 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Reduce unused CSS
13 KiBAbout 13 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
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 CSS
2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.8 MB in 198 requests
2.8 MBYour homepage downloads 2.8 MB in 198 requests on a phone: images 1.4 MB (28), other files 735 KiB (84) and scripts 519 KiB (52). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
PopupForm_image_v2.jpg 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 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit
0.80 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.80 g of CO₂e: 95.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Other pages
9 pages without a meta description
/collections/shop-by-color, /collections/new-arrivals, /collections/best-sellers, /collections/character-collection, /collections/holiday-shop and /collections/all-bead-bags and 3 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

Security and trust

No Permissions-Policy
No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.
Deprecated X-XSS-Protection

7 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (perler.com).
Valid certificate (83 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE2 verifies for perler.com and is valid for another 83 days.
Protected from clickjacking
X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.
Content-Security-Policy set
A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
http:// redirects to https
http://perler.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2 and HTTP/3

All 49 links work
All 49 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 9 external) answered without errors.

No CAA record
perler.com has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.
DNSSEC is off

2 checks passed

Content and conversion

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.

Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be perler.com is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.

Email authentication score: 65/100
