Speed

10 to fix56
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.1 s · 608 KiB

    About 608 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.1 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.6 s

    32 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.6 s.

  • Main-thread work: 4.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 4.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Mobile performance score: 56

    56/100

    Your mobile performance score is 56. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Clarity, Shopify and Klaviyo and others), adding 1.4 MB and 815 ms of main-thread time.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    250 ms · 374 KiB

    17 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (374 KiB).

  • Improve image delivery

    150 ms · 411 KiB

    16 images could be 411 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Shopify adds 151 ms

    151 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 151 ms of main-thread work and 429 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 148 ms

    148 ms

    Klaviyo costs a phone 148 ms of main-thread work and 369 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.

  • 1,741 HTML elements

    The page has 1,741 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    160 ms · 38 KiB

    About 38 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 160 ms faster on a phone.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 40 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 40 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 8 long tasks on the main thread

    8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 187 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • Minify JavaScript

    10 ms · 9 KiB

    9 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 9 ms

    9 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 9 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

11 to fix67
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 17.3 s

    17.3 s

    Your largest element takes 17.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Soothing Power Meets Clinical PrecisionFormulas tested to h…”.

  • Time to Interactive: 18.4 s

    18.4 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 18.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 7.9 s

    7.9 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 7.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 3.9 s

    3.9 s

    The first text or image appears after 3.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user LCP: 2.6 s

    2.6 s

    Real visitors wait 2.6 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Tap response (INP) got 23% slower for real visitors

    +23%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 123 ms to 153 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 20% slower for real visitors

    +20%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.2 s to 2.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Real-user FCP: 2.2 s

    2.2 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.2 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 41 images without width and height

    41 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • Total Blocking Time: 212 ms

    212 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 212 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

4 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 155 ms

    155 ms

    Real visitors wait 155 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.02

    0.02

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.02 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user TTFB: 778 ms

    778 ms

    Real visitors wait 778 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.001

    0.001

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.001, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

4 to fix52
  • Page weight: 4.1 MB in 379 requests

    4.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.1 MB in 379 requests on a phone: scripts 1.5 MB (106), images 1.1 MB (71) and other files 950 KiB (133). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    banner-model.png 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).

  • 5 images below the first screen load straight away

    5 images further down the page (338 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • 1 image far larger than shown

    11 KiB

    1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example Img_1_ad555c74-ccc8-4ba9-8212-d5ebb5509cca.png at 953 px wide, shown at 290 px. Resized copies would save about 11 KiB.

  • About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.15 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.15 g of CO₂e: 138.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

Accessibility

9 to fixGoogle 8088
  • 3 buttons without a name

    3 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • Hidden but focusable

    5 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.

  • 1 text element with low contrast

    1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • 55 images without alt text

    55 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (4 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 6 links without text

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

  • 1 form field without a label

    1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (5 elements)

    ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 5 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h6, h1 → h5 and h3 → 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 56 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 9 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 8581
  • Title is long (66 characters)

    Your title is 66 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Phyto-C Skin Care - Leaders in Vitamin C Serums & Natural Products”.

  • 2 H1 headlines

    There are 2 <h1> headlines (“” and “Soothing Power Meets Clinical Precision”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • Meta description is long (180 characters)

    Your meta description is 180 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 6 links crawlers can't follow

    6 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

  • 122 internal links, 7 external

    The homepage links to 122 pages on phyto-c.com and 7 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.phyto-c.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization and WebSite.

  • Open Graph tags complete

    Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.phyto-c.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
4 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: 4 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,269 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://www.phyto-c.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

4 to fix68
  • 1 page without a title

    https://www.phyto-c.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.

  • 1 linked page hidden from search

    https://www.phyto-c.com/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

  • 4 pages without a meta description

    https://www.phyto-c.com/customer_authentication/redirect, https://www.phyto-c.com/policies/shipping-policy, https://www.phyto-c.com/pages/find-your-routine and https://www.phyto-c.com/collections/creams have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 page without an H1

    https://www.phyto-c.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 1 page slow to respond

    https://www.phyto-c.com/collections/bestsellers took over 3 s to send its HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 42 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

3 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 7785
  • 6 small tap targets

    6 of 27 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • Deprecated browser APIs

    The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).

  • 4 JavaScript errors while loading

    4 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_TUNNEL_CONNECTION_FAILED”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

1 to fix92
  • 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 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 1,221 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,221 words of visible text.

5 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “SHOP NOW”.

  • 26 calls to action

    The homepage has 26 calls to action, for example “Shop Now”, “Shop By Routine Step” and “Shop By Skin Concern”.

  • 12 short forms

    12 short forms (6 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 24 testimonial or review blocks, 6 customer or partner logos, 6 trust badges and “250,000+ Happy Customers”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Microsoft Clarity and Hotjar.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 8 trackers load before any consent

    8

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and Klaviyo and 3 mores (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.

  • 23 cookies set on arrival

    23

    Opening the homepage sets 23 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • No consent tool detected

    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.

  • 37 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 37 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Security, domain, email and software versions

The security, domain and email checks, software and plugin versions, and any app with a known security problem are visible only to people at phyto-c.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
