Speed
Mobile performance score: 73
73/100Your mobile performance score is 73. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
300 ms · 652 KiBAbout 652 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
800 ms14 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 800 ms.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Hotjar, Google Tag Manager and Klaviyo and others), adding 1.1 MB and 622 ms of main-thread time.
Duplicated JavaScript
400 ms · 95 KiB95 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles. Google estimates it would make the page about 400 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
350 KiB8 images could be 350 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Hotjar adds 277 ms
277 msHotjar costs a phone 277 ms of main-thread work and 280 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.
Main-thread work: 2.3 s
A phone's processor spends 2.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Google Tag Manager adds 160 ms
160 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 160 ms of main-thread work and 296 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
179 KiB11 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (179 KiB).
6 long tasks on the main thread
6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 159 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
39 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 39 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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.
Minify JavaScript
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 7.4 s
7.4 sYour largest element takes 7.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Ready to unlock intimacy? A DEEPER CONNECTION IN JUST 3 CAR…”.
Time to Interactive: 13.8 s
13.8 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 13.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 3.9 s
3.9 sVisually, the page fills in at 3.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 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.
3 checks passed
Total Blocking Time: 127 ms
127 msScripts block the page for only 127 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
First Contentful Paint: 1.2 s
1.2 sThe first text or image appears after 1.2 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 43.8 MB in 238 requests
43.8 MBYour homepage downloads 43.8 MB in 238 requests on a phone: media 40.3 MB (4), images 1.3 MB (36) and scripts 1.3 MB (85). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
4 images in older formats
4 images (552 KiB) are 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 12.4 g of CO₂ per visit
12.42 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 12.42 g of CO₂e: 1490.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
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
5 text elements with low contrast
5 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
8 images without alt text
8 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
63 links without text
63 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (4 elements)

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.

50 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 55 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 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 Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete 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
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.
2 pages share a title
/collections/curiosity-cues and /products/curiosity-cues all use the title “Curiosity Cues – VUSH Connection”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
8 pages without a meta description
/collections/all, /customer_authentication/redirect, /policies/shipping-policy, /collections/curiosity-cues, /collections/accessories and /pages/about-us and 2 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
3 pages without an H1
/customer_authentication/redirect, /pages/about-us and /pages/contact-us have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
1 page slow to respond
/customer_authentication/redirect took over 3 s to send its HTML from our server.

Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (vushconnection.com).
Valid certificate (50 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for vushconnection.com and is valid for another 50 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://vushconnection.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2 and HTTP/3
The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.
All 21 links work
All 21 links checked from your homepage (18 internal, 3 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust

vushconnection.com 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.
DNSSEC is off

Email authentication
No DMARC policy
vushconnection.com has no DMARC record, so nothing tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF or DKIM. Gmail and Yahoo require DMARC from bulk senders.
No SPF record
vushconnection.com has no SPF record, so mail servers can't tell which servers may send email as you. Your mail lands in spam more often, and anyone can send mail pretending to be you.
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.
Domain receives no email
vushconnection.com has no MX record, so it receives no email. SPF -all and DMARC reject still matter: they stop others sending mail as you.
Email authentication score: 0/100
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.
