Speed

9 to fix55
  • Main-thread work: 4.6 s

    A phone's processor spends 4.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and reddit and others), adding 1.2 MB and 1.2 s of main-thread time.

  • Mobile performance score: 55

    55/100

    Your mobile performance score is 55. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 688 ms

    688 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 688 ms of main-thread work and 537 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 JavaScript

    160 ms · 528 KiB

    About 528 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 160 ms faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    500 ms

    3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 500 ms.

  • 9 long tasks on the main thread

    9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 271 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Klaviyo adds 150 ms

    150 ms

    Klaviyo costs a phone 150 ms of main-thread work and 315 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.

  • 1,755 HTML elements

    The page has 1,755 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 30 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 30 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    117 KiB

    5 images could be 117 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    79 KiB

    12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (79 KiB).

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    15 KiB

    About 15 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 6 ms

    6 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 6 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 8.4 s

    Your largest element takes 8.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Three women in bikinis standing on a beach smiling and laug…”.

  • Time to Interactive: 16.1 s

    16.1 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 16.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 640 ms

    640 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 640 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Speed Index: 5.7 s

    5.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    -7%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 121 ms to 113 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 15% slower for real visitors

    +15%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.2 s to 1.3 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

8 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

  • Real-user LCP: 1.8 s

    1.8 s

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.002

    0.002

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.002, good is under 0.1).

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.1 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

Images and page weight

2 to fix81
  • Page weight: 3.0 MB in 266 requests

    3.0 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.0 MB in 266 requests on a phone: scripts 1.3 MB (83), other files 783 KiB (110) and images 508 KiB (34). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    ES_3354.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 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.85 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.85 g of CO₂e: 102.3 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

6 to fixGoogle 9593
  • 4 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)

    Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 2 form fields without a label

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

  • Headings should not be empty (1 element)

    Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 81 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 47 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 6 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

5 to fixGoogle 8580
  • Title is long (68 characters)

    Your title is 68 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Natural Sugaring Hair Removal + Airbrush Tanning | SUGARED + BRONZED”.

  • 2 H1 headlines

    There are 2 <h1> headlines (“Get Ready to Glow” and “Refer a Friend”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • Meta description is long (297 characters)

    Your meta description is 297 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 4 links with vague text

    4 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

  • 2 links crawlers can't follow

    2 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

  • 116 internal links, 69 external

    The homepage links to 116 pages on sugaredandbronzed.com and 69 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, Organization and WebSite.

  • 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://sugaredandbronzed.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://sugaredandbronzed.com/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.

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.

  • Organization data: 5 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles) and description; contact details would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (798 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 1 page without a meta description

    https://sugaredandbronzed.com/pages/select-account has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 2 pages without an H1

    https://sugaredandbronzed.com/pages/select-account and https://sugaredandbronzed.com/pages/locations have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 52 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    4 pages of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).

  • 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 4 pages that loaded have a <title>.

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 “window.klaviyo.track is not a function”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    13 of 15 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

4 to fix75
  • Local business without LocalBusiness data

    Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.

  • No phone number on the homepage

    A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 21 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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.

  • No opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • 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 560 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 560 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “BOOK NOW”.

  • 27 calls to action

    The homepage has 27 calls to action, for example “Contact Us”, “Shop” and “Book”.

  • 15 short forms

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

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Microsoft Clarity.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 8 trackers load before any consent

    8

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel and 3 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.

  • 24 cookies set on arrival

    24

    Opening the homepage sets 24 cookies, 2 of them by other companies (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.

  • 34 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 34 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 sugaredandbronzed.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
