Speed

1 to fix100
  • Render-blocking requests

    450 ms

    2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.

  • 1 long task on the main thread

    1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 68 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 2 third-party services on the page

    2 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify and shop.app), adding 66 KiB and 49 ms of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    32 KiB

    About 32 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    12 KiB

    About 12 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • 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.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    4 KiB

    2 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (4 KiB).

3 checks passed
  • Mobile performance score: 100

    100/100

    Your mobile performance score is 100. That is in Google's “good” band (90 and up).

  • Main-thread work: 0.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 308 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 2 ms

    2 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 2 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

100
  • 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.

6 checks passed
  • Time to Interactive: 2.2 s

    2.2 s

    The page is fully interactive after 2.2 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

  • First Contentful Paint: 0.9 s

    0.9 s

    The first text or image appears after 0.9 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 0.9 s

    0.9 s

    Your largest element renders in 0.9 s on a phone, inside Google's 2.5 s “good” threshold. The largest element is the text “TRANSLATION MISSING: IT.GENERAL.PASSWORD_PAGE.PASSWORD_LINK…”.

  • Speed Index: 1.3 s

    1.3 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 1.3 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.

  • Total Blocking Time: 18 ms

    18 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 18 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

100
  • About 0.3 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.26 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.26 g of CO₂e: 31.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Page weight: 942 KiB in 117 requests

    942 KiB

    Your homepage downloads 942 KiB in 117 requests on a phone: other files 743 KiB (85), scripts 162 KiB (28) and HTML 20 KiB (2). That is a lean page.

Accessibility

2 to fixGoogle 9696
  • 5 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 2 form fields without a label

    2 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

1 checks passed
  • 35 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 36 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 35 passed and 1 failed. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

7 to fixGoogle 9268
  • No meta description

    No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • Title is long (75 characters)

    Your title is 75 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Sofia Boutique – Translation missing: it.general.password_page.opening_soon”.

  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • No social preview image

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

  • No XML sitemap

    No XML sitemap at https://www.sofia-magazine.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

  • Only 0 internal links

    The homepage links to only 0 pages on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.

  • No favicon declared

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

3 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Sofia Boutique”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.sofia-magazine.com/password.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place.

AI search readiness

1 to fix83
  • No Organization structured data

    There is no Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants have no machine-readable facts about who runs the site: its name, logo, profiles and contact details.

  • 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.

1 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.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    5 of 5 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.

  • 2 redirects before the homepage

    Opening https://sofia-magazine.com goes through 2 redirects before the homepage loads.

  • 2 links through redirect chains

    2 links go through two or more redirects, for example https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://www.sofia-magazine.com.

  • 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 (sofia-magazine.com).

  • Valid certificate (49 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for sofia-magazine.com and is valid for another 49 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://sofia-magazine.com 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 3 links work

    All 3 links checked from your homepage (0 internal, 3 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • DNSSEC is off

    sofia-magazine.com's DNS answers are not signed. DNSSEC stops attackers forging them to send visitors or email elsewhere; most registrars switch it on in a click, though most sites still run without it.

3 checks passed
  • Domain is 6 years old

    6 years

    sofia-magazine.com was registered in May 2020 through Tucows Domains Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Certificate issuers are restricted

    CAA records allow only digicert.com, globalsign.com, letsencrypt.org and pki.goog to issue certificates for sofia-magazine.com, so a mis-issued certificate from anyone else is refused.

  • Registered until May 2027

    sofia-magazine.com is registered until May 2027.

Content and conversion

5 to fix43
  • 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.

  • No calls to action

    We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.

  • No social proof

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

  • 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.

  • Only about 44 words

    The homepage has only about 44 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • 2 short forms

    2 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Microsoft Clarity.

Email authentication

2 to fix60
  • DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be sofia-magazine.com is still delivered. Add a report address, check the reports, then move to quarantine.

  • 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.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • SPF in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:_spf.hostedemail.com ~all”.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 5 trackers load before any consent

    5

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel and Microsoft Clarity (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.

  • 10 cookies set on arrival

    10

    Opening the homepage sets 10 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.

  • 12 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 12 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Apps on your store

No apps were seen in the code your storefront loads.
