Speed

6 to fix51
  • Improve image delivery

    900 ms · 153 KiB

    4 images could be 153 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 51

    51/100

    Your mobile performance score is 51. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Render-blocking requests

    900 ms

    2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 900 ms.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    600 ms · 205 KiB

    About 205 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

  • 4 third-party services on the page

    4 third-party services load with your homepage (Bigcommerce, Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics and others), adding 1.3 MB and 254 ms of main-thread time.

  • Bigcommerce adds 148 ms

    148 ms

    Bigcommerce costs a phone 148 ms of main-thread work and 1.0 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.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    150 ms · 33 KiB

    4 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (33 KiB).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 21 KiB

    About 21 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    100 ms · 20 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 20 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 100 ms faster on a phone.

  • 2 long tasks on the main thread

    2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 101 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 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.

  • Minify JavaScript

    5 KiB

    5 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    2 KiB

    2 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 0.6 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 248 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 6 ms

    6 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 6 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix35
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.92

    0.92

    The layout shifts by 0.92 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 7.4 s

    7.4 s

    Your largest element takes 7.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Life Jacket LED Light - W4 with Clip”.

  • Time to Interactive: 8.4 s

    8.4 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 8.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • 13 images without width and height

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

  • Not enough real-visitor data yet

    Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

3 checks passed
  • Speed Index: 2.2 s

    2.2 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 2.2 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.

  • Total Blocking Time: 74 ms

    74 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 74 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 0.9 s

    0.9 s

    The first text or image appears after 0.9 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

Images and page weight

1 to fix80
  • 4 images far larger than shown

    623 KiB

    4 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example page_17.jpg at 2,100 px wide, shown at 1 px. Resized copies would save about 623 KiB.

  • About 0.4 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.37 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.37 g of CO₂e: 44.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • Page weight: 1.3 MB in 42 requests

    1.3 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.3 MB in 42 requests on a phone: images 789 KiB (23), scripts 440 KiB (8) and fonts 67 KiB (3). 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.

Accessibility

10 to fixGoogle 8088
  • 1 button without a name

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

  • Hidden but focusable

    2 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.

  • Links look like plain text

    1 link inside paragraphs relies on colour alone to stand out.

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (2 elements)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Contentinfo landmark should not be contained in another landmark (1 element)

    Contentinfo landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark (1 element)

    Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Zoom is disabled

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

  • 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.

  • 4 links without text

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

  • 1 form field without a label

    1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 17 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 43 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: 43 passed and 9 failed. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

5 to fixGoogle 6963
  • robots.txt blocks all crawlers

    Your robots.txt disallows the whole site for every crawler, so search engines are told to stay out.

  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • Blocked from indexing

    Google's crawler is blocked from indexing this page.

  • 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://stores.a20inc.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

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

  • 121 internal links, 1 external

    The homepage links to 121 pages on a20inc.com and 1 external page.

4 checks passed
  • Meta description: 101 characters

    Your meta description is 101 characters: “A2O Pro Shop provides fishing tackle, lures, rods, trolling motors, skis, and other boating supplies.”.

  • Title: 33 characters

    Your title is a healthy 33 characters: “A2O Boating Supplies and Pro Shop”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://stores.a20inc.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: WebSite.

AI search readiness

2 to fix53
  • robots.txt blocks 3 AI answer engine crawlers

    3 of 6

    Your robots.txt shuts out Claude search (Claude-SearchBot), Claude (Claude-User) and Perplexity (Perplexity-User). These fetch pages to answer people's questions and cite the source, so your site can't be quoted or linked in those answers.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (532 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 15 pages without a meta description

    /commercial-marine-1, /man-overboard, /contact-location, /life-jacket-led-light-w4-with-clip, /datrex-maxflow-mesh-vest-uscg-tc-approved-70n and /datrex-ring-buoy-line-bag-100-ft-30-5-meters-solas and 9 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 81 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • 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

1 to fixGoogle 8197
  • Deprecated browser APIs

    The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).

3 checks passed
  • No console errors

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

  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    32 of 34 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

3 to fix79
  • http:// does not redirect

    http://a20inc.com does not redirect to https, so some visitors land on the insecure version.

  • No HSTS header

    No Strict-Transport-Security header, so browsers may still try plain http first on a return visit.

  • 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.

  • 3 redirects before the homepage

    Opening https://a20inc.com goes through 3 redirects before the homepage loads.

  • 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.

4 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (stores.a20inc.com).

  • Valid certificate (32 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for a20inc.com and is valid for another 32 days.

  • HTTP/2 and HTTP/3

    The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.

  • All 41 links work

    All 41 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 1 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

1 to fix
  • Domain expires in 49 days

    a20inc.com is registered until Dec 2026. Make sure auto-renew is on and the card on file is current.

  • No CAA record

    a20inc.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

    a20inc.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.

1 checks passed
  • Domain is 14 years old

    14 years

    a20inc.com was registered in Dec 2011 through Tucows Domains Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

Content and conversion

2 to fix79
  • 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.

  • Phone number is not tap-to-call

    Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.

  • 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 306 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 306 words of visible text.

5 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Shop Now” and “Contact & Location”.

  • 5 calls to action

    The homepage has 5 calls to action, for example “Shop Now”, “Contact & Location” and “Register”.

  • 2 short forms

    2 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage.

Email authentication

3 to fix25
  • No DMARC policy

    a20inc.com has no DMARC record, so nothing tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF or DKIM. Gmail and Yahoo require DMARC from bulk senders.

  • SPF does not block other senders (?all)

    Your SPF record doesn't end in -all or ~all, so it doesn't stop other servers sending as you: “v=spf1 ip4:38.113.1.0/24 ip4:38.113.20.0/24 ip4:65.254.224.0/19 ?all”.

  • 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: 25/100

    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.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 2 trackers load before any consent

    2

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (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.

  • 15 cookies set on arrival

    15

    Opening the homepage sets 15 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.

  • 7 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 7 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
