Speed

10 to fix57
  • Render-blocking requests

    2.5 s

    14 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.5 s.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.7 s · 266 KiB

    18 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (266 KiB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.5 s · 275 KiB

    About 275 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.5 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 57

    57/100

    Your mobile performance score is 57. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Clarity, Other Google APIs/SDKs and Klaviyo and others), adding 863 KiB and 824 ms of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    710 ms · 89 KiB

    About 89 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 710 ms faster on a phone.

  • Main-thread work: 3.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Improve image delivery

    300 ms · 48 KiB

    1 image could be 48 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.

  • Clarity adds 268 ms

    268 ms

    Clarity costs a phone 268 ms of main-thread work and 29 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.

  • Klaviyo adds 105 ms

    105 ms

    Klaviyo costs a phone 105 ms of main-thread work and 313 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

    200 ms · 19 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 19 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.

  • 3 long tasks on the main thread

    3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 99 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 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

    4 KiB

    4 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Server response: 9 ms

    9 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 9 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 17.6 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 9.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

    +3%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 148 ms to 146 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    +1%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.3 s to 2.3 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight

1 to fix67
  • Page weight: 3.8 MB in 420 requests

    3.8 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.8 MB in 420 requests on a phone: other files 1.4 MB (271), scripts 1.2 MB (101) and images 768 KiB (24). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 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: 128.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

5 to fixGoogle 9792
  • Links must have discernible text (4 elements)

    Links must have discernible text: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 1 text element with low contrast

    1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • 11 images without alt text

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (4 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)

    Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate 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. (12 elements).

1 checks passed
  • 45 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 49 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 4 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 9283
  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • Meta description is long (163 characters)

    Your meta description is 163 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 5 links crawlers can't follow

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

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.

  • 65 internal links, 3 external

    The homepage links to 65 pages on vueskin.com and 3 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Title: 40 characters

    Your title is a healthy 40 characters: “Vue - Korean Skincare, Backed by Science”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.vueskin.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization 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://www.vueskin.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
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.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://www.vueskin.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 1 page without a meta description

    https://www.vueskin.com/pages/claim-money-back-guarantee has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 9 pages without an H1

    https://www.vueskin.com/pages/about, https://www.vueskin.com/pages/shipping-policy, https://www.vueskin.com/pages/vue-refund-return-policy, https://www.vueskin.com/pages/subscription, https://www.vueskin.com/collections/all and https://www.vueskin.com/collections/bestsellers and 3 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 19 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

    On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.
