44steaks.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Improve image delivery
8.7 s · 4.7 MB19 images could be 4.7 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 8.7 s faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
3.8 s · 739 KiBAbout 739 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.8 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.5 s12 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.5 s.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and rebuyengine.com and others), adding 2.5 MB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
900 ms · 106 KiBAbout 106 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 50
50/100Your mobile performance score is 50 (desktop: 57). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Google Tag Manager adds 405 ms
405 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 405 ms of main-thread work and 676 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: 3.9 s
A phone's processor spends 3.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Klaviyo adds 201 ms
201 msKlaviyo costs a phone 201 ms of main-thread work and 621 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.
rebuyengine.com adds 150 ms
150 msrebuyengine.com costs a phone 150 ms of main-thread work and 720 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.
1,630 HTML elements
The page has 1,630 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Shopify adds 77 ms
77 msShopify costs a phone 77 ms of main-thread work and 346 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
150 ms · 46 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 46 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 34 KiB9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (34 KiB).
13 long tasks on the main thread
13 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 145 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Minify CSS
17 KiB17 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Minify JavaScript
14 KiB14 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 11.3 MB in 310 requests
11.3 MBYour homepage downloads 11.3 MB in 310 requests on a phone: images 7.5 MB (32), scripts 2.2 MB (116) and other files 955 KiB (126). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
4 images over 500 KB
4 images weigh 2.7 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
7 images far larger than shown
1.5 MB7 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example home-collection-block-2.jpg at 3,000 px wide, shown at 386 px. Resized copies would save about 1.5 MB.
10 images below the first screen load straight away
10 images further down the page (2.9 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
2 images in older formats
2 images (1.0 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.
About 3.2 g of CO₂ per visit
3.21 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.21 g of CO₂e: 385.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
ARIA attributes must conform to valid values (1 element)
ARIA attributes must conform to valid values: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.
17 images without alt text
17 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
5 links without text
5 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h4, h2 → h4 and h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
48 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 48 passed and 4 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

Security and trust
Short HSTS lifetime
HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.
2 links through redirect chains
2 links go through two or more redirects, for example https://www.44steaks.com/customer_authentication/redirect?locale=en®ion_country=US.
No Referrer-Policy
No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.
No Permissions-Policy

Valid certificate (58 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for 44steaks.com and is valid for another 58 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://44steaks.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 47 links work
All 47 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 7 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
DNSSEC is off
44steaks.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.
3 checks passed
Domain is 15 years old
15 years44steaks.com was registered in Sep 2011 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Certificate issuers are restricted
CAA records allow only digicert.com, globalsign.com, letsencrypt.org and ssl.com to issue certificates for 44steaks.com, so a mis-issued certificate from anyone else is refused.
Registered until Mar 2034
44steaks.com is registered until Mar 2034.
Content and conversion
No call to action on the first screen
On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
A 11-field form
Your longest form asks for 11 fields (6 required). Every extra field lowers completion.
No direct contact details
No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.
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 625 words of copy
The homepage carries about 625 words of visible text.
2 checks passed
28 calls to action
The homepage has 28 calls to action, for example “Contact Us Contact Us”, “Shop All-Natural Angus Beef” and “Contact Us”.

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, and sends you reports.
SPF with a strict ending (-all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com exists:%{i}._spf.inkyphishfence.com -all”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
7 trackers load before any consent
7Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel and 2 mores (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.
19 cookies set on arrival
19Opening the homepage sets 19 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
