Speed

10 to fix66
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.3 s · 218 KiB

    About 218 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.3 s faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    800 ms · 655 KiB

    14 images could be 655 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 800 ms faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 66

    66/100

    Your mobile performance score is 66. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    600 ms · 129 KiB

    12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (129 KiB).

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Klaviyo, Yotpo and IPONWEB and others), adding 1.0 MB and 537 ms of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    330 ms · 61 KiB

    About 61 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 330 ms faster on a phone.

  • Klaviyo adds 298 ms

    298 ms

    Klaviyo costs a phone 298 ms of main-thread work and 630 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: 3.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Render-blocking requests

    300 ms

    7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 300 ms.

  • 2,319 HTML elements

    The page has 2,319 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 38 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 38 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 5 long tasks on the main thread

    5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 107 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Minify CSS

    30 ms · 6 KiB

    6 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    10 KiB

    10 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

  • 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

    3 KiB

    3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Server response: 7 ms

    7 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 7 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 14.7 s

    14.7 s

    Your largest element takes 14.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 15.2 s

    15.2 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 15.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 6.2 s

    6.2 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 6.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.3 s

    2.3 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Tap response (INP) got 18% slower for real visitors

    +18%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 88 ms to 104 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    +9%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 0.8 s to 0.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

8 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

  • Real-user LCP: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    Real visitors wait 1.4 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 121 ms

    121 ms

    Real visitors wait 121 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.01

    0.01

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.01 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 0.9 s

    0.9 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 0.9 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 383 ms

    383 ms

    Real visitors wait 383 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Total Blocking Time: 108 ms

    108 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 108 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.01

    0.01

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.01, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

2 to fix83
  • Page weight: 3.4 MB in 285 requests

    3.4 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.4 MB in 285 requests on a phone: images 1.2 MB (34), scripts 1.2 MB (120) and other files 759 KiB (104). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    Homepage_Hero_Mobile_2_1f0373e1-d26e-4a47-b1f6-60e39699cef6. is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (205 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.

  • 3 images below the first screen load straight away

    3 images further down the page (67 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.96 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.96 g of CO₂e: 115.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

11 to fixGoogle 8487
  • 7 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 2 tap targets too small

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

  • Malformed lists

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

  • Interactive controls must not be nested (1 element)

    Interactive controls must not be nested: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 51 images without alt text

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (5 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 5 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (3 elements)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Banner landmark should not be contained in another landmark (1 element)

    Banner landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Document should not have more than one banner landmark (1 element)

    Document should not have more than one banner landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Links look like plain text

    2 links inside paragraphs rely on colour alone to stand out.

  • ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (3 elements)

    ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 49 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 60 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 passed and 11 failed. 5 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 9291
  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • One H1 headline

    Your <h1> is empty.

  • 65 internal links, 6 external

    The homepage links to 65 pages on wetbrush.com and 6 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 155 characters

    Your meta description is 155 characters: “Explore the official Wet Brush online store, with our beloved detangling brushes, combs, hair accessories and more. Enj…”.

  • Title: 63 characters

    Your title is a healthy 63 characters: “Wet Brush Official Site - Pain Free Brushing for Every Occasion”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://wetbrush.com/.

  • 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://wetbrush.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • No Organization structured data

    There is no Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants have no machine-readable facts about who runs the site: its name, logo, profiles and contact details.

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 (660 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 8 pages without a meta description

    https://wetbrush.com/collections/the-original-detangler, https://wetbrush.com/collections/pro-original-detangler, https://wetbrush.com/collections/minis, https://wetbrush.com/collections/wet-brush-speed-dry, https://wetbrush.com/collections/wet-brush-smooth-styler and https://wetbrush.com/collections/wet-brush-paddle-detangler and 2 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 15 pages without an H1

    https://wetbrush.com/collections/kit, https://wetbrush.com/collections/all-products, https://wetbrush.com/collections/the-original-detangler, https://wetbrush.com/collections/pro-original-detangler, https://wetbrush.com/collections/frizz-free-detangler and https://wetbrush.com/collections/curl-shaper and 9 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 34 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.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9687
  • 15 small tap targets

    15 of 70 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 3 JavaScript errors while loading

    3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “AbortError: The play() request was interrupted by a call to pause(). https://goo.gl/LdLk22”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix75
  • No social proof

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

  • No analytics detected

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

  • 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.

  • About 714 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 714 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Holiday Kits Are Here - Shop Gift Sets” and “Shop by Brush Type”.

  • 19 calls to action

    The homepage has 19 calls to action, for example “Holiday Kits Are Here - Shop Gift Sets”, “Shop by Brush Type” and “Shop All”.

  • 11 short forms

    11 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 0 email links.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 5 trackers load before any consent

    5

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo 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.

  • 26 cookies set on arrival

    26

    Opening the homepage sets 26 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.

  • 43 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 43 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 wetbrush.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
