Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.9 s · 6.1 MB33 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (6.1 MB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.4 s · 1.2 MBAbout 1.2 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.4 s faster on a phone.
getpurpledot.com adds 1.0 s
1.0 sgetpurpledot.com costs a phone 1.0 s of main-thread work and 161 KiB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
Main-thread work: 5.4 s
A phone's processor spends 5.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
5,387 HTML elements
The page has 5,387 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 (getpurpledot.com, justsell.live and alia-prod.com and others), adding 3.2 MB and 2.0 s of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 51
51/100Your mobile performance score is 51. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
900 ms18 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 900 ms.
Improve image delivery
590 KiB8 images could be 590 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
alia-prod.com adds 259 ms
259 msalia-prod.com costs a phone 259 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.
justsell.live adds 264 ms
264 msjustsell.live costs a phone 264 ms of main-thread work and 502 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.
11 long tasks on the main thread
11 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 290 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Yotpo adds 170 ms
170 msYotpo costs a phone 170 ms of main-thread work and 336 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.
Minify JavaScript
150 ms · 40 KiB40 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Legacy JavaScript
47 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 47 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Reduce unused CSS
28 KiBAbout 28 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Minify CSS
7 KiB7 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
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.

383 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 383 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
3 images without width and height

Images and page weight
Page weight: 12.9 MB in 420 requests
12.9 MBYour homepage downloads 12.9 MB in 420 requests on a phone: media 4.6 MB (8), images 3.9 MB (57) and scripts 2.4 MB (97). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
Willow_Boutique_Black_Friday_Vault_4a6db41d-984b-4b54-8de0-7 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).
4 images below the first screen load straight away
4 images further down the page (385 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 3.7 g of CO₂ per visit
3.66 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.66 g of CO₂e: 439.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
9 buttons without a name
9 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name (1 element)
ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails 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.
5 images without alt text
5 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (19 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 19 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.
14 links without text
14 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
10 form fields without a label
10 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Frames without titles
1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.
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
47 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: 47 passed and 6 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

Other pages
1 page without a title
https://willowboutique.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.
1 linked page hidden from search
https://willowboutique.com/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

https://willowboutique.com/customer_authentication/redirect, https://willowboutique.com/policies/shipping-policy, https://willowboutique.com/pages/willow-subscription-box and https://willowboutique.com/pages/vip-rewards-program have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
3 pages without an H1
