Speed

15 to fix44
  • Avoid multiple page redirects

    7.2 s

    The page goes through 2 redirects before it starts loading, costing about 7.2 s. Link and advertise the final URL directly.

  • Mobile performance score: 44

    44/100

    Your mobile performance score is 44. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • 3,642 HTML elements

    The page has 3,642 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 (sculpd.com, gettixel.com and Shopify and others), adding 4.2 MB and 1.4 s of main-thread time.

  • Render-blocking requests

    950 ms

    9 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 950 ms.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    440 ms · 510 KiB

    About 510 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 440 ms faster on a phone.

  • sculpd.com adds 434 ms

    434 ms

    sculpd.com costs a phone 434 ms of main-thread work and 2.5 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.

  • Improve image delivery

    665 KiB

    13 images could be 665 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    466 KiB

    25 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (466 KiB).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    300 ms · 101 KiB

    About 101 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Main-thread work: 3.6 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Shopify adds 265 ms

    265 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 265 ms of main-thread work and 944 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.

  • gettixel.com adds 325 ms

    325 ms

    gettixel.com costs a phone 325 ms of main-thread work and 7 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 · 24 KiB

    24 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Attentive adds 153 ms

    153 ms

    Attentive costs a phone 153 ms of main-thread work and 489 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.

  • Document request latency

    100 ms

    The HTML itself could arrive about 100 ms sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.

  • 2 long tasks on the main thread

    2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 92 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    37 KiB

    37 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    29 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 29 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Minify CSS

    9 KiB

    9 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • 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: 8 ms

    8 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 8 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 12.6 s

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.9 s

    2.9 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 5 images without width and height

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

7 checks passed

Images and page weight

3 to fix45
  • Page weight: 5.6 MB in 438 requests

    5.6 MB

    Your homepage downloads 5.6 MB in 438 requests on a phone: scripts 2.0 MB (149), images 1.6 MB (55) and other files 1.2 MB (178). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image over 500 KB

    Photo_pouring_Playbook.webp weighs 495 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 6 images in older formats

    6 images (813 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.

  • 1 image below the first screen load straight away

    1 image further down the page (40 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 1.6 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.59 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.59 g of CO₂e: 191.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images are sized for phones

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

Accessibility

5 to fixGoogle 10093
  • 4 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)

    Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 2 images without alt text

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (7 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 7 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 1 link without text

    1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.

1 checks passed
  • 49 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 passed and 4 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 10091
  • Meta description is long (282 characters)

    Your meta description is 282 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • Structured data has 2 problems

    Structured data found (Brand, Organization and WebSite) but with 2 problems, for example “Organization: url points at a different host (https://sculpd.com)”.

  • 143 internal links, 21 external

    The homepage links to 143 pages on sculpd.fr and 21 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Sculpd”.

  • Title: 50 characters

    Your title is a healthy 50 characters: “Sculpd | Craft Reinvented | Pottery and Craft Kits”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://sculpd.fr/.

  • 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://sculpd.fr/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 (1,446 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (14 KiB, 66 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

3 to fix88
  • 3 pages without a meta description

    /collections/all-kits, /collections/all-pottery-kits and /collections/candle-making-kits have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 2 pages share a meta description

    /products/sculpd and /products/pottery-date-night-bundle use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 2 pages without an H1

    /collections/all-kits and /products/sculpd have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 50 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.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 7391
  • 2 third-party cookies

    2 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • 3 JavaScript errors while loading

    3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to fetch”.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

2 checks passed

    22 of 26 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

100
  • Short HSTS lifetime

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

  • 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 (sculpd.fr).

  • Valid certificate (54 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for sculpd.fr and is valid for another 54 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://sculpd.fr 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 56 links work

    All 56 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 16 external) answered without errors; 14 did not answer within 5 s.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    sculpd.fr has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.

2 checks passed
  • Domain is 5 years old

    5 years

    sculpd.fr was registered in Jun 2021 through KEY-SYSTEMS GmbH. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Jun 2027

    sculpd.fr is registered until Jun 2027.

Content and conversion

2 to fix83
  • A 11-field form

    Your longest form asks for 11 fields (6 required). Every extra field lowers completion.

  • 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 690 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 690 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Shop all kits →” and “Shop Black Friday →”.

  • 21 calls to action

    The homepage has 21 calls to action, for example “Shop all kits →”, “Shop Black Friday →” and “Shop now – Sculpd Candle Making Kit”.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 70 testimonial or review blocks, a star rating, 4 trust badges and “10,000+ Customers”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Microsoft Clarity.

Email authentication

2 to fix0
  • No DMARC policy

    sculpd.fr has no DMARC record, so nothing tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF or DKIM. Gmail and Yahoo require DMARC from bulk senders.

  • No SPF record

    sculpd.fr has no SPF record, so mail servers can't tell which servers may send email as you. Your mail lands in spam more often, and anyone can send mail pretending to be you.

  • No DKIM key on the usual selectors

    We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.

  • Domain receives no email

    sculpd.fr has no MX record, so it receives no email. SPF -all and DMARC reject still matter: they stop others sending mail as you.

  • Email authentication score: 0/100

    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.

Privacy and tracking

  • 6 trackers load before any consent

    6

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel and 1 more (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (CookieYes) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 36 cookies set on arrival

    36

    Opening the homepage sets 36 cookies, 6 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 43 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 43 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: CookieYes

    A consent management tool (CookieYes) loads with the page.
