Speed
Render-blocking requests
2.1 s36 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.1 s.
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.3 s · 219 KiBAbout 219 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.3 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 66
66/100Your mobile performance score is 66 (desktop: 91). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
5 third-party services on the page
5 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, WordPress and Google Analytics and others), adding 1.6 MB and 294 ms of main-thread time.
WordPress adds 62 ms
62 msWordPress costs a phone 62 ms of main-thread work and 1.3 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.
2 long tasks on the main thread
2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 125 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).
Improve image delivery
23 KiB1 image could be 23 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
16 KiB1 file is served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (16 KiB).
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 91 but mobile only 66. 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.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 1.0 s
A phone's processor spends 1.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 421 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 13 ms
13 msYour server sent the HTML in 13 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 7.9 s
7.9 sYour largest element takes 7.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Servilles Salon”.
Time to Interactive: 8.0 s
8.0 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 8.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 5.7 s
5.7 sVisually, the page fills in at 5.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
First Contentful Paint: 2.9 s
2.9 sThe first text or image appears after 2.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
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.
2 checks passed
Total Blocking Time: 66 ms
66 msScripts block the page for only 66 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
servilles-salon-scaled.webp 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 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit
0.56 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.56 g of CO₂e: 67.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Page weight: 2.0 MB in 84 requests
2.0 MBYour homepage downloads 2.0 MB in 84 requests on a phone: images 1.3 MB (21), scripts 544 KiB (23) and fonts 86 KiB (3). That is a lean page.
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
Invalid ARIA attributes
1 element use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.

The skip-link target should exist and be focusable (1 element)
The skip-link target should exist and be focusable: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
1 link without text

2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 7 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
39 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 44 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 39 passed and 5 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
Structured data has 1 problem
Structured data found (BreadcrumbList, ImageObject, Organization and WebPage) but with 1 problem, for example “Organization: url points at a different host (https://servilles.mystagingwebsite.com/)”.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.
28 internal links, 36 external
The homepage links to 28 pages on servilles.com and 36 external pages.
6 checks passed
Meta description: 134 characters
Your meta description is 134 characters: “Often referred to as the best hair salon in Auckland, Servilles offers its clients world-class service and award-winnin…”.
Title: 40 characters
Your title is a healthy 40 characters: “Servilles | Auckland's Luxury Hair Salon”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://servilles.com/.
Open Graph tags complete

robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.

Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://servilles.com/sitemap_index.xml.
AI search readiness
No llms.txt
There is no /llms.txt, a short Markdown guide to your key pages for AI tools (llmstxt.org). It is optional and few AI tools read it yet, so treat it as a cheap extra.
2 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.
Other pages
1 page without a meta description
/services/client-rewards has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
2 pages with very little text
/contact and /careers have 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.
6 internal pages checked

Best practices
1 low-resolution image
1 image is served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.
3 checks passed
No console errors
No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.
Tap targets are thumb-sized
16 of 18 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a map but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 3 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
Only about 116 words
The homepage has only about 116 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
Phone number is not tap-to-call
Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.
No form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
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.
5 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “BOOK HERE” and “SHOP”.
19 calls to action
The homepage has 19 calls to action, for example “Contact us”, “BOOK” and “SHOP”.
Analytics in place

Privacy and tracking

4 cookies set on arrival
4Opening the homepage sets 4 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.
7 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 7 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 servilles.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
