Speed

10 to fix49
  • Mobile performance score: 49

    49/100

    Your mobile performance score is 49. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 5.9 s

    A phone's processor spends 5.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    300 ms · 1.1 MB

    About 1.1 MB 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

    800 ms · 194 KiB

    5 images could be 194 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 800 ms faster on a phone.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (alia-prod.com, omnisnippet1.com and Facebook and others), adding 1.1 MB and 872 ms of main-thread time.

  • Render-blocking requests

    800 ms

    20 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 800 ms.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    491 KiB

    24 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (491 KiB).

  • 19 long tasks on the main thread

    19 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 488 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • alia-prod.com adds 324 ms

    324 ms

    alia-prod.com costs a phone 324 ms of main-thread work and 256 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.

  • Shopify adds 50 ms

    50 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 50 ms of main-thread work and 368 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.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    23 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 23 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    20 KiB

    About 20 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.

  • Minify JavaScript

    2 KiB

    2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 13 ms

    13 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 13 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

9 to fix100
  • 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.

  • Time to Interactive: 22.0 s

    22.0 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 22.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 6.4 s

    6.4 s

    Your largest element takes 6.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Personalized Hair Growth, Backed by Science”.

  • Total Blocking Time: 1.6 s

    1.6 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 1.6 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) got 27% slower for real visitors

    +27%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 125 ms to 166 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 24% slower for real visitors

    +24%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.8 s to 2.3 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Real-user TTFB: 831 ms

    831 ms

    Real visitors wait 831 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Speed Index: 3.5 s

    3.5 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 3.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 4 images without width and height

    4 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

6 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    Real visitors wait 1.7 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 159 ms

    159 ms

    Real visitors wait 159 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.03

    0.03

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.03 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.4 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.068

    0.068

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.068, good is under 0.1).

  • 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.

Images and page weight

2 to fix75
  • Page weight: 3.8 MB in 205 requests

    3.8 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.8 MB in 205 requests on a phone: scripts 2.4 MB (87), other files 559 KiB (52) and images 442 KiB (24). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 2 images far larger than shown

    65 KiB

    2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example dual-iphone.png at 1,200 px wide, shown at 280 px. Resized copies would save about 65 KiB.

  • 5 images below the first screen load straight away

    5 images further down the page (234 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.07 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.07 g of CO₂e: 128.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

Accessibility

7 to fixGoogle 8089
  • 6 buttons without a name

    6 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes (8 elements)

    Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes: 8 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 8 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Scrollable region must have keyboard access (2 elements)

    Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 4 images without alt text

    4 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • 24 links without text

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

  • Table header text should not be empty (1 element)

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

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

  • <td> elements in a large <table> do not have table headers.

    <td> elements in a large <table> do not have table headers. (1 element).

1 checks passed
  • 47 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 54 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 7 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

5 to fixGoogle 6979
  • No meta description

    No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 2 H1 headlines

    There are 2 <h1> headlines (“ulo” and “Personalized Hair Growth, Backed by Science”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 3 links crawlers can't follow

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

  • 2 links with vague text

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

  • 75 internal links, 1 external

    The homepage links to 75 pages on ulo.co and 1 external page.

5 checks passed
  • Title: 39 characters

    Your title is a healthy 39 characters: “Ulo – Personalized Hair Growth Formulas”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://ulo.co/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization and WebSite.

  • 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://ulo.co/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

  • No llms.txt

    There is no /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.

2 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 (1,771 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

4 to fix68
  • 1 page without a title

    /customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.

  • 1 linked page hidden from search

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

  • 3 pages without a meta description

    /customer_authentication/redirect, /collections/hair-growth-plans and /pages/how-it-works have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 page without an H1

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

  • 2 pages slow to respond

    /customer_authentication/redirect and /pages/notice-of-privacy-practices took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 27 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

3 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    8 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.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 9671
  • 1 broken image

    1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://lantern.roeye.com/track.php?fingerprint=436edf3f-d160-4475-a8c2-adcad503f52e&referrer=&landingpage=https%3A%2F%2Fulo.co%2F&useragent=Mozilla%2F5.0%20(iPhone%3B%20CPU%20iPhone%20OS%2017_5%20lik.

  • 2 small tap targets

    2 of 9 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 4 JavaScript errors while loading

    4 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

1 to fix86
  • 1 broken link to your own pages

    1 link from your homepage to your own site is broken, for example https://ulo.co/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection (404).

  • Short HSTS lifetime

    HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

  • 1 link through redirect chains

    1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://ulo.co/customer_authentication/redirect?locale=en&region_country=US.

  • No Referrer-Policy

    No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

  • No Permissions-Policy

    No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

  • Deprecated X-XSS-Protection

    X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.

  • No security.txt

    There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

6 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (ulo.co).

  • Valid certificate (63 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for ulo.co and is valid for another 63 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

    X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.

  • Content-Security-Policy set

    A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://ulo.co redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2

    The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    ulo.co has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.

Content and conversion

2 to fix79
  • 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.

  • About 474 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 474 words of visible text.

5 checks passed
  • 9 calls to action

    The homepage has 9 calls to action, for example “Learn More”, “Get Started” and “Get started now”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (0 fields at most) is right on the homepage.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 3 testimonial or review blocks, 24 customer or partner logos, 3 trust badges and “over 100k customers”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Microsoft Clarity.

  • Risk reducer mentioned

    A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.

Email authentication

2 to fix60
  • DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be ulo.co is still delivered. Add a report address, check the reports, then move to quarantine.

  • No DKIM key on the usual selectors

    We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.

  • Email authentication score: 60/100

    Email authentication: SPF record 25 points, plus 15 when it ends in -all (10 for ~all); DMARC record 25, plus 25 for a reject policy (15 for quarantine); a DKIM key on a common selector 10.

1 checks passed
  • SPF in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:mailgun.org include:_spf.google.com include:amazonses.com ~all”.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 5 trackers load before any consent

    5

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel and Microsoft Clarity (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.

  • 18 cookies set on arrival

    18

    Opening the homepage sets 18 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.

  • 38 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 38 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Apps on your store

Your storefront loads 9 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.

None of the apps your storefront loads is on the list of apps with a known security problem.
