Compare side by sideOne score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
4.1 s · 813 KiBAbout 813 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.1 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
2.4 s · 300 KiB31 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (300 KiB).
Main-thread work: 12.3 s
A phone's processor spends 12.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Mobile performance score: 37
37/100Your mobile performance score is 37. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (alia-prod.com, rebuyengine.com and okendo.io and others), adding 2.0 MB and 1.9 s of main-thread time.
Render-blocking requests
900 ms3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 900 ms.
Legacy JavaScript
750 ms · 88 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 88 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.
alia-prod.com adds 718 ms
718 msalia-prod.com costs a phone 718 ms of main-thread work and 532 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.
rebuyengine.com adds 332 ms
332 msrebuyengine.com costs a phone 332 ms of main-thread work and 332 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.
Minify JavaScript
300 ms · 65 KiB65 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
okendo.io adds 309 ms
309 msokendo.io costs a phone 309 ms of main-thread work and 426 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.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 304 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
2,901 HTML elements
The page has 2,901 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Shopify adds 115 ms
115 msShopify costs a phone 115 ms of main-thread work and 344 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.
Reduce unused CSS
90 ms · 41 KiBAbout 41 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 90 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
62 KiB2 images could be 62 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
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.

2.2 sScripts block taps and scrolling for 2.2 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

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

SEO

Your canonical URL points to rfaskincare.com, not rfaskin.com, so Google may credit that host instead.
12 H1 headlines
There are 12 <h1> headlines (“THE HOLIDAY EDIT”, “SKINCARE MADE CLEAR” and “FROM THE TREATMENT ROOM TO YOUR ROUTINE”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Meta description is long (232 characters)
Your meta description is 232 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
