Speed

12 to fix17
  • Improve image delivery

    3.5 s · 1.9 MB

    11 images could be 1.9 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.5 s faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.9 s · 523 KiB

    About 523 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.9 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.3 s · 447 KiB

    15 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (447 KiB).

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.6 s

    14 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.6 s.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    1.2 s · 181 KiB

    About 181 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.2 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 17

    17/100

    Your mobile performance score is 17. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Facebook and Hotjar and others), adding 1.4 MB and 1.9 s of main-thread time.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 946 ms

    946 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 946 ms of main-thread work and 844 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.

  • Facebook adds 710 ms

    710 ms

    Facebook costs a phone 710 ms of main-thread work and 454 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: 3.8 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 18 long tasks on the main thread

    18 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 362 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    300 ms · 31 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 31 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Font display

    50 ms

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

  • 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.

  • Minify JavaScript

    2 KiB

    2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 3 ms

    3 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 3 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

11 to fix67
  • 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: 22.5 s

    22.5 s

    Your largest element takes 22.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.

  • Time to Interactive: 22.9 s

    22.9 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 22.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 8.9 s

    8.9 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 8.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 1.3 s

    1.3 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 1.3 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.397

    0.397

    The layout shifts by 0.397 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • First Contentful Paint: 3.2 s

    3.2 s

    The first text or image appears after 3.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user INP: 337 ms

    337 ms

    Real visitors wait 337 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) got 53% slower for real visitors

    +53%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 253 ms to 378 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 23% slower for real visitors

    +23%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.3 s to 1.7 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.0 s

    1.0 s

    Real visitors wait 1.0 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

3 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 2.1 s

    2.1 s

    Real visitors wait 2.1 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.1 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

Images and page weight

3 to fix53
  • Page weight: 5.0 MB in 161 requests

    5.0 MB

    Your homepage downloads 5.0 MB in 161 requests on a phone: images 2.8 MB (28), scripts 1.7 MB (89) and stylesheets 215 KiB (10). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 12 images below the first screen load straight away

    12 images further down the page (966 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • 7 images in older formats

    7 images (780 KiB) are JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.

  • About 1.4 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.41 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.41 g of CO₂e: 169.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

4 to fixGoogle 9594
  • 61 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark (1 element)

    Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate 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 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 23 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 38 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 42 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 38 passed and 4 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 10095
  • 2 H1 headlines

    There are 2 <h1> headlines (“The Ten Spot Beauty Bar” and “meet the only beauty membership that gives you yo…”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • 62 internal links, 27 external

    The homepage links to 62 pages on thetenspot.com and 27 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 143 characters

    Your meta description is 143 characters: “welcome to THE TEN SPOT® beauty bars. enjoy a manicure, pedicure, waxing, laser hair removal, facial and more. visit us…”.

  • Title: 63 characters

    Your title is a healthy 63 characters: “THE TEN SPOT® beauty bars - nails, waxing, laser, skin and more”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, Organization, WebPage 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://thetenspot.com/sitemap_index.xml.

AI search readiness

100
  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://thetenspot.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: 4 of 6 facts

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

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (685 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

3 to fix83
  • 1 linked page hidden from search

    https://thetenspot.com/appointmentsandpolicies is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

  • 4 pages without a meta description

    https://thetenspot.com/services-2/laser-hair-removal, https://thetenspot.com/laser-skin-services, https://thetenspot.com/services-2/services-waxing and https://thetenspot.com/services-2/facials have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 link to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example https://thetenspot.com/gift-cards, whose canonical is https://thetenspot.com/gift-cards-2. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 1 page slow to respond

    https://thetenspot.com/clinicallyclean took over 3 s to send its HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 28 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

4 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 10084
  • 1 broken image

    1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=97176351&Ver=2&mid=0138cfa7-33dd-49df-8dfe-c5fe240e9890&bo=1&sid=788f0300d6d211f1ae5b77f3a6cdba59&vid=788f4380d6d211f1bb54d146a0eb72ca&vids=1&msclkid=N&pi=918639831&lg.

3 checks passed
  • No console errors

    12 of 14 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix75
  • No social proof

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

  • 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 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 533 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 533 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 into one of our bars!” and “give or get a gift card”.

  • 14 calls to action

    The homepage has 14 calls to action, for example “book now”, “buy a gift card” and “book now – canada”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Meta Pixel.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 7 trackers load before any consent

    7

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and LinkedIn Insight and 2 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.

  • 12 cookies set on arrival

    12

    Opening the homepage sets 12 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.

  • 22 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 22 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 thetenspot.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
