Speed
Improve image delivery
1.6 s · 282 KiB5 images could be 282 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.6 s faster on a phone.
4,015 HTML elements
The page has 4,015 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Mobile performance score: 70
70/100Your mobile performance score is 70. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused CSS
180 ms · 49 KiBAbout 49 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 180 ms faster on a phone.
1 long task on the main thread
1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 56 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
1 third-party service on the page
1 third-party service load with your homepage (Shopify), adding 139 KiB and 30 ms of main-thread time.
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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
3 KiB2 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (3 KiB).

Main-thread work: 0.8 s
A phone's processor spends 0.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 275 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 8 ms
8 msYour server sent the HTML in 8 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 6.5 s
6.5 sYour largest element takes 6.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Speed Index: 5.5 s
5.5 sVisually, the page fills in at 5.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Time to Interactive: 6.6 s
6.6 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 6.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
First Contentful Paint: 2.3 s
2.3 sThe first text or image appears after 2.3 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.
2 checks passed
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Total Blocking Time: 6 ms
6 msScripts block the page for only 6 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
1 image in older formats
1 image (243 KiB) is 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 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit
0.53 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.53 g of CO₂e: 63.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Page weight: 1.9 MB in 218 requests
1.9 MBYour homepage downloads 1.9 MB in 218 requests on a phone: other files 787 KiB (99), images 583 KiB (7) and scripts 326 KiB (104). That is a lean page.
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
Hidden but focusable
3 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
1 image without alt text
1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
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.
Headings should not be empty (1 element)
Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h5 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
48 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 48 passed and 5 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

Your title is only 29 characters: “Viola & Vesper – Viola&Vesper”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
No favicon declared

Other pages
1 linked page is broken
Your homepage links to https://viola-vesper.com/collections/spring-summer-2024-the-divine-feminine, which answers with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop it.
7 pages without a meta description
https://viola-vesper.com/collections/dress, https://viola-vesper.com/collections/when-the-night-falls/SS25, https://viola-vesper.com/collections/summer-essentials, https://viola-vesper.com/collections/fall-winter-2023-2024-kiss-me-goodbye, https://viola-vesper.com/collections/tops-bottoms and https://viola-vesper.com/collections/archive-sale-2025 and 1 other 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://viola-vesper.com/collections/when-the-night-falls/SS25, whose canonical is https://viola-vesper.com/collections/when-the-night-falls/ss25. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

Content and conversion
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.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 2 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
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 118 words
The homepage has only about 118 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.
2 checks passed
8 calls to action
The homepage has 8 calls to action, for example “SHOP”, “Call for Disco” and “Contact Us”.
8 short forms
8 short forms (2 fields at most) are right on the homepage.
Privacy and tracking

3Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Tag Manager and Meta Pixel (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.
9 cookies set on arrival
9Opening the homepage sets 9 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.
11 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 11 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 viola-vesper.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
