Speed

6 to fix65
  • Mobile performance score: 65

    65/100

    Your mobile performance score is 65 (desktop: 98). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    750 ms · 128 KiB

    26 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (128 KiB).

  • Improve image delivery

    150 ms · 328 KiB

    6 images could be 328 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.

  • 5 third-party services on the page

    5 third-party services load with your homepage (WordPress, omappapi.com and CallRail and others), adding 1.1 MB and 232 ms of main-thread time.

  • Render-blocking requests

    300 ms

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

  • WordPress adds 112 ms

    112 ms

    WordPress costs a phone 112 ms of main-thread work and 824 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 · 21 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 21 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    31 KiB

    About 31 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    20 KiB

    About 20 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Phones get a much slower page than desktops

    Desktop scores 98 but mobile only 65. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.0 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 373 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 50 ms

    50 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 50 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

8 to fix67
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

  • Real-user TTFB: 2.4 s

    2.4 s

    Real visitors wait 2.4 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 7.8 s

    7.8 s

    Your largest element takes 7.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Fall vibes at 7 Dees Garden Center in Lake Oswego”.

  • 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.

  • Time to Interactive: 7.9 s

    7.9 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 7.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 3.1 s

    3.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 3.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user LCP: 2.6 s

    2.6 s

    Real visitors wait 2.6 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user FCP: 2.5 s

    2.5 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.5 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +1%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 226 ms to 224 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

5 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 165 ms

    165 ms

    Real visitors wait 165 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 27% faster for real visitors

    -27%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.2 s to 2.0 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

  • Total Blocking Time: 0 ms

    0 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

100
  • About 0.4 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.39 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.39 g of CO₂e: 46.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

4 checks passed
  • Page weight: 1.4 MB in 95 requests

    1.4 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.4 MB in 95 requests on a phone: images 842 KiB (20), scripts 335 KiB (51) and fonts 112 KiB (12). That is a lean page.

  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images load when needed

    Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.

  • 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 7989
  • 41 tap targets too small

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

  • 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.

  • 3 images without alt text

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (78 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 78 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • No main landmark

    The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

  • Zoom is disabled

    The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

  • 4 links without text

    4 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • Headings skip levels

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

1 checks passed
  • 38 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 45 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 38 passed and 7 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 9298
  • 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.

  • 112 internal links, 17 external

    The homepage links to 112 pages on 7dees.com and 17 external pages.

8 checks passed
  • Meta description: 137 characters

    Your meta description is 137 characters: “Visit Dennis' 7 Dees for garden centers, residential landscaping, commercial landscaping, and green services in Oregon …”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “7 Dees Landscaping & Garden Centers”.

  • Title: 64 characters

    Your title is a healthy 64 characters: “Portland Landscaping & Garden Centers in Portland Metro - 7 Dees”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://7dees.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, ImageObject, LocalBusiness, Organization and Person.

  • Open Graph tags complete

    Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.

  • robots.txt in place

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://7dees.com/sitemap_index.xml.

AI search readiness

100
4 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.

  • Organization data: 4 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,824 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (3 KiB, 38 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

100
  • 15 internal pages checked

Best practices

Google 100100
3 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    6 of 7 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.

  • No clickjacking protection

    Neither X-Frame-Options nor a CSP frame-ancestors policy is set, so any site can embed yours in a frame.

  • No X-Content-Type-Options

    X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.

  • 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 (7dees.com).

  • Valid certificate (39 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WR1 verifies for 7dees.com and is valid for another 39 days.

  • HSTS enabled

    Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://7dees.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2

    The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.

  • All 54 links work

    All 54 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 14 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    7dees.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

    7dees.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 7 years old

    7 years

    7dees.com was registered in Mar 2019 through Network Solutions, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Mar 2029

    7dees.com is registered until Mar 2029.

Content and conversion

3 to fix78
  • 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.

  • A 15-field form

    Your longest form asks for 15 fields (11 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 map or directions link

    There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

  • 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 1,353 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,353 words of visible text.

6 checks passed
  • 7 calls to action

    The homepage has 7 calls to action, for example “Contact Us”, “Shop Online” and “Request a Consultation”.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 32 testimonial or review blocks, a star rating and 66 trust badges.

  • Analytics in place

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

  • Opening hours shown

    Your opening hours are on the homepage.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage.

  • LocalBusiness structured data

    Your homepage describes the business with LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants can read its address, hours and phone reliably.

Email authentication

2 to fix65
  • DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be 7dees.com is still delivered. Add a report address, check the reports, then move to quarantine.

  • No DKIM key on the usual selectors

    We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.

  • Email authentication score: 65/100

    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.

1 checks passed
  • 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 -all”.

Privacy and tracking

  • 6 cookies set on arrival

    6

    Opening the homepage sets 6 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.

  • 8 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 8 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • No known trackers before consent

    No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).
