ultimateface.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.1 s · 211 KiBAbout 211 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
800 ms · 204 KiB6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (204 KiB).
Mobile performance score: 63
63/100Your mobile performance score is 63. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Improve image delivery
300 ms · 39 KiB3 images could be 39 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Google Tag Manager adds 225 ms
225 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 225 ms of main-thread work and 316 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.
6 third-party services on the page
6 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Facebook and Shopify and others), adding 770 KiB and 399 ms of main-thread time.
Render-blocking requests
200 ms4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 200 ms.
4 long tasks on the main thread
4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 180 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
130 ms · 18 KiBAbout 18 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.
Legacy JavaScript
50 ms · 13 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 13 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 50 ms faster on a phone.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Minify CSS
7 KiB7 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
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.

Server response: 5 ms
5 msYour server sent the HTML in 5 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 9.7 s
9.7 sYour largest element takes 9.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

6.4 sVisually, the page fills in at 6.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Total Blocking Time: 260 ms

First Contentful Paint: 1.9 s
1.9 sThe first text or image appears after 1.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Not enough real-visitor data yet
Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.2 MB in 174 requests
2.2 MBYour homepage downloads 2.2 MB in 174 requests on a phone: other files 836 KiB (106), scripts 803 KiB (39) and images 361 KiB (18). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit
0.63 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.63 g of CO₂e: 76.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
6 tap targets too small
6 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
Hidden but focusable
2 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
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.
6 links without text
6 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings should not be empty (3 elements)
Headings should not be empty: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 23 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
45 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 51 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 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
Title is short (14 characters)
Your title is only 14 characters: “Ultimate Face®”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
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 (177 characters)
Your meta description is 177 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
116 internal links, 8 external
The homepage links to 116 pages on ultimateface.com and 8 external pages.
5 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “<img src="//www.ultimateface.com/cdn/shop/files/UFC_logo_new_theme_150x.png?v=1614327374" srcset="//www.ultimateface.co…”.

AI search readiness

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 (869 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
3 pages without a meta description
/collections/liquid-concealer, /collections/liners and /collections/pencils have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

Content and conversion
No call to action on the first screen

No direct contact details
