Render-blocking requests
1.5 s9 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.5 s.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, paypo.pl and Hotjar and others), adding 2.2 MB and 924 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
150 ms · 976 KiBAbout 976 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 64
64/100Your mobile performance score is 64. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 75 KiBAbout 75 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
352 KiB12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (352 KiB).
paypo.pl adds 212 ms
212 mspaypo.pl costs a phone 212 ms of main-thread work and 734 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 234 ms
234 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 234 ms of main-thread work and 483 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.
Main-thread work: 2.6 s
A phone's processor spends 2.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
2,042 HTML elements
The page has 2,042 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
7 long tasks on the main thread
7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 185 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
183 KiB8 images could be 183 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Legacy JavaScript
48 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 48 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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.

SEO
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
Meta description is long (211 characters)
Your meta description is 211 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
No XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at https:///sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
One H1 headline
Your <h1> is empty.
67 internal links, 7 external
The homepage links to 67 pages on sylviacrystals.com and 7 external pages.
4 checks passed

Your title is a healthy 52 characters: “Minerals, Crystals, Rocks & Stones - Sylvia Crystals”.
Canonical URL set

robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.

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 (751 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://sylviacrystals.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
1 page without a title
https://sylviacrystals.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.
1 linked page hidden from search
https://sylviacrystals.com/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.
7 pages without a meta description
https://sylviacrystals.com/customer_authentication/redirect, https://sylviacrystals.com/collections/cosmetic-care, https://sylviacrystals.com/pages/special-offers, https://sylviacrystals.com/collections/crystals-minerals-special-prices, https://sylviacrystals.com/collections/jewelry-special-prices and https://sylviacrystals.com/pages/flagship-store and 1 other have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
12 pages without an H1
https://sylviacrystals.com/customer_authentication/redirect, https://sylviacrystals.com/collections, https://sylviacrystals.com/collections/sets, https://sylviacrystals.com/collections/cosmetic-care, https://sylviacrystals.com/pages/special-offers and https://sylviacrystals.com/collections/crystals-minerals-special-prices and 6 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
