Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
3.2 s · 1,023 KiBAbout 1,023 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.2 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.1 s · 333 KiB20 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (333 KiB).
Improve image delivery
1.2 s · 233 KiB4 images could be 233 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.2 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 44
44/100Your mobile performance score is 44. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 5.0 s
A phone's processor spends 5.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (PayPal, rebuyengine.com and Vimeo and others), adding 7.1 MB and 809 ms of main-thread time.
Vimeo adds 123 ms
123 msVimeo costs a phone 123 ms of main-thread work and 6.0 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.
Reduce unused CSS
450 ms · 95 KiBAbout 95 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Font display
450 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 450 ms).
Render-blocking requests
350 ms4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 350 ms.
17 long tasks on the main thread
17 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 279 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
PayPal adds 233 ms
233 msPayPal costs a phone 233 ms of main-thread work and 392 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 160 ms
160 msrebuyengine.com costs a phone 160 ms of main-thread work and 337 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.
1,518 HTML elements
The page has 1,518 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 68 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 68 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Minify CSS
6 KiB6 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.

First Contentful Paint: 2.7 s
2.7 sThe first text or image appears after 2.7 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
6 images without width and height
6 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 9.9 MB in 313 requests
9.9 MBYour homepage downloads 9.9 MB in 313 requests on a phone: other files 6.5 MB (189), scripts 1.9 MB (65) and images 1,011 KiB (35). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 2.8 g of CO₂ per visit
2.81 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.81 g of CO₂e: 337.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
3 text elements with low contrast
3 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
4 images without alt text
4 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (10 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 10 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
3 links without text
3 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
50 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: 50 passed and 3 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
2 H1 headlines
There are 2 <h1> headlines (“Shani Darden Skin Care” and “Shani Darden Skin Care”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
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.
127 internal links, 10 external
The homepage links to 127 pages on shanidarden.com and 10 external pages.

AI search readiness

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.
Organization data: 4 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, description and contact details; logo and sameAs (social profiles) would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (940 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

No Permissions-Policy

3 checks passed

15 yearsshanidarden.com was registered in Mar 2011 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Certificate issuers are restricted

Registered until Mar 2027

Content and conversion
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.

Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, Hotjar and TikTok Pixel.
Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be shanidarden.com is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.
SPF does not block other senders (?all)
Your SPF record doesn't end in -all or ~all, so it doesn't stop other servers sending as you: “v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:shops.shopify.com include:mail.zendesk.com include:spf.gorgias.com in…”.
Email authentication score: 60/100
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.
