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

Live view · interaction off

Speed

10 to fix66
  • Signyfyd adds 1.3 s

    1.3 s

    Signyfyd costs a phone 1.3 s of main-thread work and 257 KiB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

  • Main-thread work: 4.8 s

    A phone's processor spends 4.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.6 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 (Signyfyd, Google Tag Manager and Klaviyo and others), adding 1.2 MB and 1.8 s of main-thread time.

  • Mobile performance score: 66

    66/100

    Your mobile performance score is 66. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • 11 long tasks on the main thread

    11 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 733 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Render-blocking requests

    500 ms

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

  • Improve image delivery

    300 ms · 119 KiB

    6 images could be 119 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 359 ms

    359 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 359 ms of main-thread work and 468 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.

  • 2,994 HTML elements

    The page has 2,994 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    289 KiB

    About 289 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    126 KiB

    12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (126 KiB).

  • Legacy JavaScript

    23 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 23 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Minify JavaScript

    6 KiB

    6 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

4 to fix100
  • Time to Interactive: 16.9 s

    16.9 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 16.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 774 ms

    774 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 774 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 4.2 s

    4.2 s

    Your largest element takes 4.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Speed Index: 3.5 s

    3.5 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 3.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -1%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 0.9 s to 0.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

9 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

  • Real-user LCP: 1.5 s

    1.5 s

    Real visitors wait 1.5 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 116 ms

    116 ms

    Real visitors wait 116 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.1 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 453 ms

    453 ms

    Real visitors wait 453 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) got 11% faster for real visitors

    -11%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 116 ms to 104 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.1 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • 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

3 to fix69
  • Page weight: 3.4 MB in 272 requests

    3.4 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.4 MB in 272 requests on a phone: images 1.2 MB (94), scripts 1.1 MB (87) and other files 674 KiB (73). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    S_B_new_homepage_banner.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).

  • 3 images far larger than shown

    199 KiB

    3 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example S_B_new_homepage_banner.png at 1,312 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 199 KiB.

  • 3 images in older formats

    3 images (225 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.

  • About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.95 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.95 g of CO₂e: 114.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

1 to fixGoogle 10096
  • 125 links without text

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

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 117 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 11 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 11 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 11 passed and 0 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 10091
  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • Meta description is long (173 characters)

    Your meta description is 173 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 370 internal links, 9 external

    The homepage links to 370 pages on planetofthevapes.com and 9 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Wondering where to start with vaping?”.

  • Title: 62 characters

    Your title is a healthy 62 characters: “The Best Online Store to Buy Vaporizers | Planet of the Vapes®”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.planetofthevapes.com/.

  • Open Graph tags complete

  • 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.planetofthevapes.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • No Organization structured data

    There is no Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants have no machine-readable facts about who runs the site: its name, logo, profiles and contact details.

3 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.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (2,445 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

100
  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 181 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

7 checks passed

Best practices

Google 96100
3 checks passed

Security and trust

100
  • Short HSTS lifetime

    HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

  • 1 link through redirect chains

    1 link go through two or more redirects, for example http://instagram.com/planetofthevapesofficial.

  • No Referrer-Policy

    No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

  • No Permissions-Policy

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

  • Deprecated X-XSS-Protection

    X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.

  • No security.txt

    There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

7 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (planetofthevapes.com).

  • Valid certificate (49 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for planetofthevapes.com and is valid for another 49 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://planetofthevapes.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2 and HTTP/3

    The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.

  • All 46 links work

    All 46 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 6 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • DNSSEC is off

    planetofthevapes.com's DNS answers are not signed. DNSSEC stops attackers forging them to send visitors or email elsewhere; most registrars switch it on in a click, though most sites still run without it.

3 checks passed
  • Domain is 16 years old

    16 years

    planetofthevapes.com was registered in Mar 2010 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Certificate issuers are restricted

    CAA records allow only digicert.com, globalsign.com, letsencrypt.org and pki.goog to issue certificates for planetofthevapes.com, so a mis-issued certificate from anyone else is refused.

  • Registered until Mar 2027

    planetofthevapes.com is registered until Mar 2027.

Content and conversion

2 to fix86
  • No analytics detected

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

  • 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.

  • About 1,497 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,497 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 POTV LOBO”.

  • 10 calls to action

    The homepage has 10 calls to action, for example “Track your order”, “Contact us” and “SHOP POTV LOBO”.

  • 5 short forms

    5 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

    Social proof on the homepage: 23 testimonial or review blocks and 1 trust badge.

  • Risk reducer mentioned

    A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.

Email authentication

1 to fix70
  • DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be planetofthevapes.com is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.

  • Email authentication score: 70/100

    Email authentication: SPF record 25 points, plus 15 when it ends in -all (10 for ~all); DMARC record 25, plus 25 for a reject policy (15 for quarantine); a DKIM key on a common selector 10.

2 checks passed
  • SPF in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com include:spf.gorgias.com ~all”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “s1” and “s2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
