Speed

5 to fix85
  • Avoid multiple page redirects

    2.1 s

    The page goes through 2 redirects before it starts loading, costing about 2.1 s. Link and advertise the final URL directly.

  • Mobile performance score: 85

    85/100

    Your mobile performance score is 85. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Render-blocking requests

    550 ms

    5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 550 ms.

  • 7 third-party services on the page

    7 third-party services load with your homepage (skincareedit.us, rise-ai.com and Klaviyo and others), adding 1.6 MB and 208 ms of main-thread time.

  • skincareedit.us adds 99 ms

    99 ms

    skincareedit.us costs a phone 99 ms of main-thread work and 1.1 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

    200 ms · 19 KiB

    2 images could be 19 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    107 KiB

    9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (107 KiB).

  • 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.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    64 KiB

    About 64 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    36 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 36 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 0.9 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 321 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 4 ms

    4 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

3 to fix82
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 4.1 s

    4.1 s

    Your largest element takes 4.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Portrait from Melanie Grant, wearing floral earrings”.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.1 s

    2.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 4.2 s

    4.2 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 4.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    +7%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.5 s to 1.6 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • 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.

3 checks passed
  • Speed Index: 2.2 s

    2.2 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 2.2 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

  • Total Blocking Time: 0 ms

    0 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

100
  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (35 KiB) is 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 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.50 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.50 g of CO₂e: 60.2 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: 1.8 MB in 223 requests

    1.8 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.8 MB in 223 requests on a phone: other files 855 KiB (112), scripts 494 KiB (78) and images 188 KiB (15). That is a lean page.

  • 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

Google 100100
2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 37 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 49 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 49 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 passed and 0 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 10096
  • No social preview image

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

  • No favicon declared

    No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

  • 214 internal links, 36 external

    The homepage links to 214 pages on skincareedit.com and 36 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 99 characters

    Your meta description is 99 characters: “Melanie Grant Skincare Edit a selection of the best curated and cult skincare from around the world”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Good skin. Considered care.”.

  • Title: 58 characters

    Your title is a healthy 58 characters: “Skincare Edit Australia | Luxury Skincare by Melanie Grant”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://skincareedit.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization.

  • 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://skincareedit.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (2 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

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 (1,620 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

100
  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 87 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9687
  • 7 small tap targets

    7 of 33 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Refused to apply style from 'https://skincareedit.com/cdn/shop/t/40/assets/tiny.content.min.css?v=7601' because its MIM…”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix67
  • No call to action on the first screen

    On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 5 customer or partner logos. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • No analytics detected

    No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

  • 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 1,209 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,209 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • 9 calls to action

    The homepage has 9 calls to action, for example “Shop by Type”, “Shop by Skin Concern” and “Shop By Edit”.

  • 10 short forms

    10 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 0 phone links and 1 email link.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 6 trackers load before any consent

    6

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Amplitude, Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Meta Pixel and 1 more (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.

  • 13 cookies set on arrival

    13

    Opening the homepage sets 13 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.

  • 22 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 22 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 skincareedit.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.

Apps on your store

Your storefront loads 2 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
