Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
3.3 s · 4.9 MB79 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (4.9 MB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
4.5 s · 901 KiBAbout 901 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.5 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
2.7 s14 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.7 s.
Reduce unused CSS
1.2 s · 216 KiBAbout 216 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.2 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 31
31/100Your mobile performance score is 31. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 4.6 s
A phone's processor spends 4.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
4,595 HTML elements
The page has 4,595 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 (YouTube, Bigcommerce and Klaviyo and others), adding 8.4 MB and 1.7 s of main-thread time.
YouTube adds 759 ms
759 msYouTube costs a phone 759 ms of main-thread work and 973 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.
crucials.io adds 159 ms
159 mscrucials.io costs a phone 159 ms of main-thread work and 5.8 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.
Bigcommerce adds 343 ms
343 msBigcommerce costs a phone 343 ms of main-thread work and 1.1 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.
14 long tasks on the main thread
14 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 321 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Klaviyo adds 262 ms
262 msKlaviyo costs a phone 262 ms of main-thread work and 317 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.
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 165 KiB3 images could be 165 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Legacy JavaScript
250 ms · 18 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 18 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 250 ms faster on a phone.
Minify CSS
150 ms · 28 KiB28 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
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
5 KiB5 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.227
0.227The layout shifts by 0.227 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 18.8 MB in 185 requests
18.8 MBYour homepage downloads 18.8 MB in 185 requests on a phone: images 16.2 MB (73), scripts 1.8 MB (60) and fonts 311 KiB (10). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
13 images far larger than shown
4.5 MB13 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example 1-11-SD-Single-Silver-75141221.gif at 1,920 px wide, shown at 326 px. Resized copies would save about 4.5 MB.
3 images over 500 KB
3 images weigh 3.7 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
24 images in older formats
24 images (6.3 MB) 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.
22 images below the first screen load straight away
22 images further down the page (6.1 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 5.3 g of CO₂ per visit
5.32 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 5.32 g of CO₂e: 638.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
6 tap targets too small
6 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
3 text elements with low contrast
3 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Frames without titles
1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (85 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 85 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3, h1 → h3 and h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 72 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
46 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 51 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 5 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
18 H1 headlines
There are 18 <h1> headlines (“”, “” and “QUIK RACK”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
No XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at https://1up-usa.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
4 links with vague text
4 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
208 internal links, 5 external
The homepage links to 208 pages on 1up-usa.com and 5 external pages.
4 checks passed
Meta description: 145 characters
Your meta description is 145 characters: “Discover high-quality all metal bike racks at 1UP USA. Perfect for any cyclist, our durable designs ensure your bike is…”.
Title: 54 characters
Your title is a healthy 54 characters: “1UP USA | Premium Quality Bike Racks for Every Vehicle”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://1up-usa.com/.
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place.
AI search readiness
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 (1,045 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (15 KiB, 126 links, though it should open with a “# Title” line), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 92 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
1 checks passed
Linked pages load
All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.
Best practices
22 small tap targets
22 of 47 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
5 third-party cookies
5 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.
1 JavaScript error while loading
1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()”.
Browser-reported issues
Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
No Content-Security-Policy
No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
Short HSTS lifetime
HSTS is set, but max-age is 0 days; one year is the recommended minimum.
No Referrer-Policy
No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.
No Permissions-Policy
No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.
No security.txt
There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.
6 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (1up-usa.com).
Valid certificate (28 days left)
The certificate from DigiCert Inc · Encryption Everywhere DV TLS CA - G2 verifies for 1up-usa.com and is valid for another 28 days.
Protected from clickjacking
X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.
http:// redirects to https
http://1up-usa.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 45 links work
All 45 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 5 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
1up-usa.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
1up-usa.com's DNS answers are not signed. DNSSEC stops attackers forging them to send visitors or email elsewhere; most registrars switch it on in a click, though most sites still run without it.
2 checks passed
Domain is 10 years old
10 years1up-usa.com was registered in Jun 2016 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Jun 2028
1up-usa.com is registered until Jun 2028.
Content and conversion
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
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 659 words of copy
The homepage carries about 659 words of visible text.
6 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen

Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics.
Direct contact links
Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 1 email link.

Email authentication
Email authentication score: 95/100
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.
3 checks passed
DMARC policy: reject
DMARC tells receivers to reject mail that fails authentication.
SPF in place (~all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 mx a include:spf.mtaroutes.com include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:_spf.bigcommerce.com include:mailgun.o…”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”, “k2” and “s1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
4 trackers load before any consent
4Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Klaviyo (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.
12 cookies set on arrival
12Opening the homepage sets 12 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (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.
34 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 34 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
