Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
4.3 s · 812 KiBAbout 812 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.3 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.9 s · 300 KiB31 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (300 KiB).
Main-thread work: 5.5 s
A phone's processor spends 5.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Mobile performance score: 60
60/100Your mobile performance score is 60. 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 (alia-prod.com, okendo.io and rebuyengine.com and others), adding 2.0 MB and 714 ms 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
600 ms · 88 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 88 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.
Minify JavaScript
310 ms · 65 KiB65 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
alia-prod.com adds 271 ms
271 msalia-prod.com costs a phone 271 ms of main-thread work and 533 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.
2,760 HTML elements
The page has 2,760 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
okendo.io adds 115 ms
115 msokendo.io costs a phone 115 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.
rebuyengine.com adds 102 ms
102 msrebuyengine.com costs a phone 102 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.
Shopify adds 42 ms
42 msShopify costs a phone 42 ms of main-thread work and 345 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.
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 62 KiB2 images could be 62 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.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 39 KiBAbout 39 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.
9 long tasks on the main thread
9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 118 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
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.

SEO
11 H1 headlines
There are 11 <h1> headlines (“THE HOLIDAY EDIT”, “FROM THE TREATMENT ROOM TO YOUR ROUTINE” and “BACKED BY SCIENCE. DRIVEN BY RESULTS. DELIVERED W…”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

Your meta description is 232 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
Structured data has 1 problem
Structured data found (LocalBusiness, Organization, Store and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “WebSite: url is not an absolute URL ("rfaskincare.com")”.
1 link with vague text
1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

Other pages
2 pages without a meta description
