Speed

Not measured in this review.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix33
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on your site (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.36

    0.36

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.36 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user INP: 214 ms

    214 ms

    Real visitors wait 214 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user TTFB: 807 ms

    807 ms

    Real visitors wait 807 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +1%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 215 ms to 215 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -3%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.5 s to 2.4 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

2 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 FCP: 1.3 s

    1.3 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.3 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

Images and page weight

3 to fix53
  • Page weight: 5.1 MB

    5.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 5.1 MB on a phone, 1.3 MB of it images (25%). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    new-hero-mobile-black-cap-high-res.png 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).

  • 2 images in older formats

    2 images (586 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.

  • About 1.4 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.44 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.44 g of CO₂e: 173.1 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

3 to fix94
  • 8 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 5 tap targets too small

    5 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • 4 images without alt text

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

1 checks passed
  • 49 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 passed and 3 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

    The homepage links to 88 pages on simplerhaircolor.com and 5 external pages.

8 checks passed

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 (954 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 6 pages without an H1

    https://simplerhaircolor.com/pages/how-it-works, https://simplerhaircolor.com/pages/faq, https://simplerhaircolor.com/pages/ingredients, https://simplerhaircolor.com/pages/our-story, https://simplerhaircolor.com/pages/influencers and https://simplerhaircolor.com/pages/shipping-returns have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

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, Klaviyo and LinkedIn Insight 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.

  • 47 cookies set on arrival

    47

    Opening the homepage sets 47 cookies, 4 of them by other companies (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.

  • 68 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 68 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 simplerhaircolor.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
