Speed

12 to fix27
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.1 s · 3.7 MB

    126 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (3.7 MB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.6 s · 975 KiB

    About 975 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.6 s faster on a phone.

  • Main-thread work: 14.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 14.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 9.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Mobile performance score: 27

    27/100

    Your mobile performance score is 27 (desktop: 54). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • 3,831 HTML elements

    The page has 3,831 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Yotpo and Klaviyo and others), adding 3.2 MB and 2.4 s of main-thread time.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 815 ms

    815 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 815 ms of main-thread work and 648 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 648 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Yotpo adds 458 ms

    458 ms

    Yotpo costs a phone 458 ms of main-thread work and 1.4 MB 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

    450 ms · 29 KiB

    29 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Klaviyo adds 303 ms

    303 ms

    Klaviyo costs a phone 303 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.

  • rebuyengine.com adds 265 ms

    265 ms

    rebuyengine.com costs a phone 265 ms of main-thread work and 293 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

    240 KiB

    15 images could be 240 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 75 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 75 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    150 ms

    4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 150 ms.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    36 KiB

    About 36 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    11 KiB

    11 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

  • Phones get a much slower page than desktops

    Desktop scores 54 but mobile only 27. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

  • 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 KiB

    2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Server response: 17 ms

    17 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 17 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

9 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: 16.9 s

    16.9 s

    Your largest element takes 16.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Speed Index: 18.8 s

    18.8 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 18.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 37.9 s

    37.9 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 37.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 6.8 s

    6.8 s

    The first text or image appears after 6.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 2.2 s

    2.2 s

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

  • Real-user INP: 227 ms

    227 ms

    Real visitors wait 227 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) got 46% slower for real visitors

    +46%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 136 ms to 201 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Real-user FCP: 1.8 s

    1.8 s

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

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    +9%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.8 s to 2.0 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

4 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 2.4 s

    2.4 s

    Real visitors wait 2.4 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.02

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.015

    0.015

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.015, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

2 to fix64
  • Page weight: 9.5 MB in 431 requests

    9.5 MB

    Your homepage downloads 9.5 MB in 431 requests on a phone: images 5.1 MB (143), scripts 2.7 MB (124) and other files 797 KiB (135). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    Christmas26_Gifting_02_Hero_MOB.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 2.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    2.69 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.69 g of CO₂e: 323.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

6 to fixGoogle 9193
  • 21 text elements with low contrast

    21 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name (1 element)

    ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • Form elements should have a visible label (1 element)

    Form elements should have a visible label: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (14 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 14 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 16 links without text

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

  • 3 form fields without a label

    3 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (2 elements).

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 48 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 53 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 58 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 53 passed and 5 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 10093
  • Structured data has 2 problems

    Structured data found (WebSite) but with 2 problems, for example “WebSite: logo is not an absolute URL ("//www.rodial.com/cdn/shop/files/rodial-logo-digital-only-202…”.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 221 internal links, 8 external

    The homepage links to 221 pages on rodial.com and 8 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 149 characters

    Your meta description is 149 characters: “Discover luxury skincare & makeup products loved by celebrities. Skincare for all ages & complexion innovation. Free UK…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Rodial”.

  • Title: 40 characters

    Your title is a healthy 40 characters: “Rodial | Hi-Tech Skincare and Complexion”.

  • Canonical URL set

  • 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.rodial.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 (1,005 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 1 page without a meta description

    https://www.rodial.com/pages/subscribe-and-save has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 8 pages without an H1

    https://www.rodial.com/collections/shop-all-skincare, https://www.rodial.com/collections/glass-skin, https://www.rodial.com/pages/travel-minis-bundle-builder, https://www.rodial.com/pages/ai-skin-assistant, https://www.rodial.com/pages/subscribe-and-save and https://www.rodial.com/pages/the-peel-range and 2 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 1 page with very little text

    https://www.rodial.com/collections/shop-all-skincare has under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 84 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

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 963 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 963 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: “make gifting AN OCCASION Shop Now” and “take it ALL OFF Shop Now”.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 10 testimonial or review blocks and 1 trust badge.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, Hotjar and TikTok Pixel.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 10 trackers load before any consent

    10

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and Klaviyo and 5 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.

  • 33 cookies set on arrival

    33

    Opening the homepage sets 33 cookies (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.

  • 63 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 63 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 rodial.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
