thecommonscents.com website review

About 245 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.2 s faster on a phone.

7 images could be 267 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.

Your mobile performance score is 67. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

11 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (62 KiB).

Klaviyo costs a phone 101 ms of main-thread work and 309 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.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (zbcdn.net, Klaviyo and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 1,023 KiB and 392 ms of main-thread time.

Polyfills for old browsers add 27 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 150 ms.

About 11 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 130 ms faster on a phone.

3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 101 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

15 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

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.

Your largest element takes 12.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.

The page becomes fully interactive after 12.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Real visitors wait 813 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

Visually, the page fills in at 5.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

The first text or image appears after 2.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 79 ms to 79 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 2.8 MB in 243 requests on a phone: scripts 1.1 MB (77), other files 951 KiB (133) and images 718 KiB (23). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.80 g of CO₂e: 95.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Certain ARIA roles must be contained by particular parents: 8 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.

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

2 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

Your title is 87 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Common Scents | Fragrance Oils | Wholesale Body Oils | Perfume Oils – The Common Scents”.

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

There are 2 <h1> headlines (“The Common Scents” and “Natural Massage & Lube Oil - 4 oz.”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

Your meta description is 318 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

The homepage links to 85 pages on thecommonscents.com and 9 external pages.

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.

https://www.thecommonscents.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.

https://www.thecommonscents.com/discount/ONLINE declares the homepage as its canonical URL, which tells Google it is a copy of the homepage and keeps it out of search results. A site-wide template setting usually causes this.

https://www.thecommonscents.com/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

/ and https://www.thecommonscents.com/discount/ONLINE all use the title “Common Scents | Fragrance Oils | Wholesale Body Oils | Perfume Oils –…”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

https://www.thecommonscents.com/customer_authentication/redirect, https://www.thecommonscents.com/collections/womens-perfume-oils, https://www.thecommonscents.com/collections/mens-cologne-oils, https://www.thecommonscents.com/collections/unisex-perfume-oils, https://www.thecommonscents.com/collections/traditional-exotic-oils and https://www.thecommonscents.com/collections/body-oils and 8 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

https://www.thecommonscents.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 59 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

14 of 28 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

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

1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Uncaught (in promise) Error: License expired”.

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 testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

The homepage has only about 219 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and Klaviyo and 1 more (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.

Opening the homepage sets 15 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

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.

Loading the homepage contacts 27 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
