Speed

15 to fix45
  • 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 s

    Signyfyd 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

    45/100

    Your 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 MB

    43 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 KiB

    About 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 KiB

    7 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 KiB

    About 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 ms

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

  • Legacy JavaScript

    300 ms · 61 KiB

    Polyfills 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 ms

    Clarity 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 ms

    Google 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 ms

    Klaviyo 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 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).

  • Minify JavaScript

    30 KiB

    30 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    11 KiB

    11 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 38 ms

    38 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 38 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

9 to fix33
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

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

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 13.3 s

    13.3 s

    Your largest element takes 13.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Stila Cosmetics”.

  • Speed Index: 26.5 s

    26.5 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 26.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 44.3 s

    44.3 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 44.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 833 ms

    833 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 833 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user LCP: 2.7 s

    2.7 s

    Real visitors wait 2.7 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 229 ms

    229 ms

    Real visitors wait 229 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 22% slower for real visitors

    +22%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.5 s to 3.0 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Real-user FCP: 1.8 s

    1.8 s

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

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    -4%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 268 ms to 262 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

4 checks passed
  • Real-user CLS: 0.04

    0.04

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.04 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user TTFB: 583 ms

    583 ms

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.4 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.033

    0.033

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.033, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

2 to fix64
  • Page weight: 10.0 MB in 519 requests

    10.0 MB

    Your 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 g

    By 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

5 to fixGoogle 9795
  • 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.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 10091
  • No structured data

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

  • One H1 headline

    Your <h1> is empty.

  • 179 internal links, 1 external

    The homepage links to 179 pages on stilacosmetics.com and 1 external page.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 158 characters

    Your meta description is 158 characters: “Stila Cosmetics are artistry-proven, cruelty-free makeup products that are innovative and turn the simplest look into a…”.

  • Title: 54 characters

    Your title is a healthy 54 characters: “Stila Cosmetics | Artistry-Proven, Cruelty-Free Makeup”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.stilacosmetics.com/.

  • Open Graph tags complete

    Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.

  • 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://www.stilacosmetics.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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.

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 (1,756 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

3 to fix88
  • 4 pages without a meta description

    https://www.stilacosmetics.com/collections/meadow-dream-collection, https://www.stilacosmetics.com/collections/pretty-striking-collection, https://www.stilacosmetics.com/collections/rebel-beauty-collection and https://www.stilacosmetics.com/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://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

    https://www.stilacosmetics.com/pages/the-hunger-games-sunrise-on-the-reaping, https://www.stilacosmetics.com/products/sunrise-eyes-liqua-play-eye-shadow-collection, https://www.stilacosmetics.com/products/all-fire, https://www.stilacosmetics.com/collections/meadow-dream-collection, https://www.stilacosmetics.com/collections/pretty-striking-collection and https://www.stilacosmetics.com/collections/rebel-beauty-collection and 9 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 1 page slow to respond

    https://www.stilacosmetics.com/collections/best-sellers took over 3 s to send its HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 65 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 5488
  • 3 third-party cookies

    3 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • Deprecated browser APIs

    The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).

  • 4 JavaScript errors while loading

    4 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Shopify's Google Analytics stub called with: [array Array] See https://help.shopify.com/manual/promoting-marketing/pixe…”.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    50 of 52 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • 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.

  • 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.

3 checks passed
  • 12 calls to action

    The homepage has 12 calls to action, for example “Shop the Full Collection”, “SHOP ALL NEW ARRIVALS” and “Shop All Eye Makeup”.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 24 testimonial or review blocks and 6 trust badges.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 11 trackers load before any consent

    11

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel and 6 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.

  • 19 cookies set on arrival

    19

    Opening the homepage sets 19 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.

  • 61 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 61 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 stilacosmetics.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 13 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
