Speed
Main-thread work: 12.1 s
A phone's processor spends 12.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 7.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Signyfyd adds 1.1 s
1.1 sSignyfyd costs a phone 1.1 s of main-thread work and 280 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.
Mobile performance score: 45
45/100Your mobile performance score is 45. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
7,455 HTML elements
The page has 7,455 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
500 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, Clarity and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 1.7 MB and 2.0 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
300 ms · 786 KiBAbout 786 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
250 ms · 590 KiB7 images could be 590 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 250 ms faster on a phone.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 619 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
420 ms · 154 KiBAbout 154 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 420 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
450 ms8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.
Legacy JavaScript
300 ms · 61 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 61 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Clarity adds 275 ms
275 msClarity costs a phone 275 ms of main-thread work and 29 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.
Google Tag Manager adds 186 ms
186 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 186 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.
Klaviyo adds 143 ms
143 msKlaviyo costs a phone 143 ms of main-thread work and 318 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.
Font display
100 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).
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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 10.0 MB in 519 requests
10.0 MBYour homepage downloads 10.0 MB in 519 requests on a phone: images 5.2 MB (93), scripts 2.4 MB (134) and other files 1.8 MB (243). 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 2.8 g of CO₂ per visit
2.84 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.84 g of CO₂e: 341.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
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. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

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

2 pages share a meta description
https://www.stilacosmetics.com/products/sunrise-eyes-liqua-play-eye-shadow-collection and https://www.stilacosmetics.com/products/all-fire use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
15 pages without an H1

Content and conversion
No call to action on the first screen

No direct contact details

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.
