Speed
Signyfyd adds 1.2 s
1.2 sSignyfyd costs a phone 1.2 s of main-thread work and 281 KiB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
Main-thread work: 10.8 s
A phone's processor spends 10.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 6.7 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Mobile performance score: 47
47/100Your mobile performance score is 47. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
7,398 HTML elements
The page has 7,398 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 3.1 MB43 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (3.1 MB).
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Signyfyd, Google Tag Manager and Clarity and others), adding 1.6 MB and 2.1 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
833 KiBAbout 833 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 682 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
300 ms · 138 KiB6 images could be 138 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
400 ms8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 400 ms.
Google Tag Manager adds 236 ms
236 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 236 ms of main-thread work and 364 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.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 170 KiBAbout 170 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Font display
150 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 150 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
61 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 61 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify JavaScript
30 KiB30 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Duplicated JavaScript
11 KiB11 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.
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.

Server response: 43 ms
43 msYour server sent the HTML in 43 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Speed Index: 18.1 s
18.1 sVisually, the page fills in at 18.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Time to Interactive: 38.4 s
38.4 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 38.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 5.5 s
5.5 sYour largest element takes 5.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Stila Cosmetics”.
Total Blocking Time: 1.1 s
1.1 sScripts block taps and scrolling for 1.1 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
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
First Contentful Paint: 1.4 s
1.4 sThe first text or image appears after 1.4 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.035
0.035The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.035, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 8.9 MB in 420 requests
8.9 MBYour homepage downloads 8.9 MB in 420 requests on a phone: images 4.6 MB (91), scripts 2.3 MB (128) and other files 1.4 MB (153). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
FA26_Web_Banners_Mobile_LIQUA_PLAY.jpg 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 2.5 g of CO₂ per visit
2.53 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.53 g of CO₂e: 303.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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
23 images without alt text
23 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
Heading levels should only increase by one (1 element)
Heading levels should only increase by one: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
50 form fields without a label
50 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
21 links without text
21 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
2 tap targets too small
2 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
1 checks passed
59 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 60 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 59 passed and 1 failed. 5 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Canonical points to another host
Your canonical URL points to stilacosmetics.com, not stila.net, so Google may credit that host instead.

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.

Other pages
4 pages without a meta description
https://stila.net/collections/meadow-dream-collection, https://stila.net/collections/pretty-striking-collection, https://stila.net/collections/rebel-beauty-collection and https://stila.net/collections/newest-arrivals have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
2 pages share a meta description
https://stila.net/products/sunrise-eyes-liqua-play-eye-shadow-collection and https://stila.net/products/all-fire use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

Content and conversion
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 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 248 words
The homepage has only about 248 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
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.
