Speed

13 to fix26
  • Render-blocking requests

    4.9 s

    27 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 4.9 s.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.9 s · 2.2 MB

    52 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (2.2 MB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.2 s · 1.4 MB

    About 1.4 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.2 s faster on a phone.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 1.4 s of main-thread work and 853 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: 12.9 s

    A phone's processor spends 12.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 8.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Mobile performance score: 26

    26/100

    Your mobile performance score is 26 (desktop: 47). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Google CDN and Dynamic Yield and others), adding 2.8 MB and 3.0 s of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    900 ms · 147 KiB

    About 147 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.

  • Google CDN adds 621 ms

    621 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 621 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.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 458 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Dynamic Yield adds 311 ms

    311 ms

    Dynamic Yield costs a phone 311 ms of main-thread work and 393 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.

  • webeyez.com adds 302 ms

    302 ms

    webeyez.com costs a phone 302 ms of main-thread work and 152 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.

  • 1,767 HTML elements

    The page has 1,767 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 47 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 47 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    81 KiB

    2 images could be 81 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 41 ms

    41 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 41 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 13.1 s

    13.1 s

    Your largest element takes 13.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “PROVEN DURABILITY. BUILT FOR THE ROAD AHEAD. From home to a…”.

  • Speed Index: 22.4 s

    22.4 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 22.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 43.2 s

    43.2 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 43.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 3.2 s

    3.2 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 3.2 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 6.0 s

    6.0 s

    The first text or image appears after 6.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 4 images without width and height

    4 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • Tap response (INP) got 15% slower for real visitors

    +15%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 154 ms to 178 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    +8%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.7 s to 2.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

7 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: 2.1 s

    2.1 s

    Real visitors wait 2.1 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 171 ms

    171 ms

    Real visitors wait 171 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.07

    0.07

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.07 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.6 s

    1.6 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.6 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 504 ms

    504 ms

    Real visitors wait 504 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.004

    0.004

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.004, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 7.4 MB in 577 requests

    7.4 MB

    Your homepage downloads 7.4 MB in 577 requests on a phone: scripts 4.4 MB (348), media 1.3 MB (1) and other files 615 KiB (140). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 2 images below the first screen load straight away

    2 images further down the page (114 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 2.1 g of CO₂ per visit

    2.09 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.09 g of CO₂e: 250.2 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

7 to fixGoogle 9691
  • 1 button without a name

    1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • Malformed lists

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

  • 2 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 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.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (4 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 2 form fields without a label

    2 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • 1 link without text

    1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 16 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 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. 5 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 8593
  • 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.

  • 2 links crawlers can't follow

    2 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

  • 1 link with vague text

    1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

  • 287 internal links, 5 external

    The homepage links to 287 pages on 511tactical.com and 5 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 152 characters

    Your meta description is 152 characters: “Shop high-quality tactical gear, clothing, bags, footwear, and accessories at 5.11 Tactical®. Designed for professional…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Proven Durability. Built for the Road Ahead.”.

  • Title: 59 characters

    Your title is a healthy 59 characters: “5.11 | Performance Apparel & Gear for Work, Training & Life”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.511tactical.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: WebPage.

  • 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://www.511tactical.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.

  • No llms.txt

    There is no /llms.txt, a short Markdown guide to your key pages for AI tools (llmstxt.org). It is optional and few AI tools read it yet, so treat it as a cheap extra.

2 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 (1,001 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

3 to fix81
  • 1 page points its canonical at the homepage

    /catalogsearch/result declares the homepage as its canonical URL, which tells Google it is a copy of the homepage and keeps it out of search results. A site-wide template setting usually causes this.

  • 2 pages share a title

    / and /catalogsearch/result all use the title “5.11 | Performance Apparel & Gear for Work, Training & Life”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 4 pages share a meta description

    /challenge-fall, /i-am-511, /new/mens-new-arrivals.html and /mens/mens-pants/mens-utility-pants.html use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 152 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.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 15 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 7376
  • 1 broken image

    1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=5213849&tm=gtm002&Ver=2&mid=b02390f7-a220-45d3-88dc-96817d94e0ed&bo=2&sid=4f738820c5d511f1ad37d7fd766e4332&vid=4f738810c5d511f18e513db1e7483d11&vids=1&msclkid=N&pi=918.

  • 1 third-party cookie

    1 third-party cookie is set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • 5 JavaScript errors while loading

    5 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    225 of 232 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

1 to fix93
  • 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.

  • Deprecated X-XSS-Protection

    X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.

  • 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 (511tactical.com).

  • Valid certificate (81 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YR1 verifies for 511tactical.com and is valid for another 81 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

    X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://511tactical.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2

    The server speaks HTTP/2, 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

    511tactical.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

    511tactical.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 24 years old

    24 years

    511tactical.com was registered in Dec 2001 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Dec 2034

    511tactical.com is registered until Dec 2034.

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 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 803 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 803 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: “REGISTER” and “SHOP ALL SHIRTS”.

  • 30 calls to action

    The homepage has 30 calls to action, for example “Shop”, “Register” and “Shop All Shirts”.

  • 3 short forms

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

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel and TikTok Pixel.

Email authentication

95
  • 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, and sends you reports.

  • SPF in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:us._netblocks.mimecast.com include:servers.mcsv.net include:mailgun.o…”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “k2”, “s1” and “s2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

  • 9 trackers load before any consent

    9

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Criteo, Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and LinkedIn Insight and 4 mores (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (OneTrust) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 47 cookies set on arrival

    47

    Opening the homepage sets 47 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 64 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 64 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: OneTrust

    A consent management tool (OneTrust) loads with the page.
