Speed

7 to fix64
  • Main-thread work: 9.9 s

    A phone's processor spends 9.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 5,869 HTML elements

    The page has 5,869 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Azure Web Services and Klaviyo and others), adding 2.4 MB and 1.5 s of main-thread time.

  • Mobile performance score: 64

    64/100

    Your mobile performance score is 64. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Shopify adds 757 ms

    757 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 757 ms of main-thread work and 1.8 MB 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.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    488 KiB

    About 488 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    300 ms · 89 KiB

    About 89 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.

  • Improve image delivery

    150 ms · 55 KiB

    5 images could be 55 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    160 KiB

    19 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (160 KiB).

  • Render-blocking requests

    150 ms

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

  • 18 long tasks on the main thread

    18 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 131 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    50 ms

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

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    43 KiB

    43 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    19 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 19 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Minify JavaScript

    12 KiB

    12 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 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: 19 ms

    19 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 19 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix33
  • Page weight: 20.4 MB in 593 requests

    20.4 MB

    Your homepage downloads 20.4 MB in 593 requests on a phone: media 14.6 MB (2), images 2.2 MB (137) and scripts 1.8 MB (280). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 5.8 g of CO₂ per visit

    5.78 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 5.78 g of CO₂e: 693.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

10 to fixGoogle 8287
  • ARIA commands must have an accessible name (7 elements)

    ARIA commands must have an accessible name: 7 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • Malformed lists

    Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.

  • 9 images without alt text

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • No main landmark

    The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

  • 32 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 7 links without text

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

  • 2 tap targets too small

    2 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • 1 form field without a label

    1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (8 elements)

    ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 8 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (3 elements).

1 checks passed
  • 40 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 46 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 40 passed and 6 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 8588
  • Meta description is long (288 characters)

    Your meta description is 288 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 3 links with vague text

  • One H1 headline

    Your <h1> is empty.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693

Content and conversion

4 to fix64
  • 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 analytics detected

    No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

  • 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.

  • Only about 15 words

    The homepage has only about 15 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • 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.

3 checks passed
  • 29 calls to action

    The homepage has 29 calls to action, for example “SHOP”, “Shop All” and “SHOP BY SKIN CONCERN”.

  • 38 short forms

    38 short forms (2 fields at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 22 testimonial or review blocks and “Trusted by 100,000+ customers”.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 6 trackers load before any consent

    6

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo, Meta Pixel, Pinterest Tag and Reddit Pixel 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.

  • 15 cookies set on arrival

    15

    Opening the homepage sets 15 cookies, 11 of them by other companies (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.

  • 19 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 19 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 urbanhydration.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
