Speed

11 to fix31
  • Improve image delivery

    4.3 s · 1.2 MB

    11 images could be 1.2 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.3 s faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.8 s · 444 KiB

    About 444 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.8 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.0 s

    2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.0 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 31

    31/100

    Your mobile performance score is 31. 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, Bigcommerce and Klaviyo and others), adding 3.1 MB and 1.5 s of main-thread time.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 519 ms

    519 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 519 ms of main-thread work and 477 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.

  • Bigcommerce adds 340 ms

    340 ms

    Bigcommerce costs a phone 340 ms of main-thread work and 2.1 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.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    400 ms · 60 KiB

    12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (60 KiB).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    300 ms · 47 KiB

    About 47 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Main-thread work: 3.3 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Klaviyo adds 263 ms

    263 ms

    Klaviyo costs a phone 263 ms of main-thread work and 394 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.

  • 13 long tasks on the main thread

    13 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 238 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    49 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 49 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 3 ms

    3 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 3 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix22
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 16.7 s

    16.7 s

    Your largest element takes 16.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “ABRA LIGHTING Designed in California, we are a family owned…”.

  • Time to Interactive: 19.0 s

    19.0 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 19.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.579

    0.579

    The layout shifts by 0.579 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • Speed Index: 7.3 s

    7.3 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 7.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 541 ms

    541 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 541 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 6 images without width and height

    6 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.

1 checks passed
  • First Contentful Paint: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.7 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

Images and page weight

4 to fix58
  • Page weight: 3.3 MB in 119 requests

    3.3 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.3 MB in 119 requests on a phone: images 1.8 MB (31), scripts 1.4 MB (57) and fonts 77 KiB (2). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 10 images in older formats

    10 images (1.5 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.

  • 5 images below the first screen load straight away

    5 images further down the page (506 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • 3 images far larger than shown

    198 KiB

    3 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example brand.jpg at 1,420 px wide, shown at 346 px. Resized copies would save about 198 KiB.

  • About 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.94 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.94 g of CO₂e: 112.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

3 to fixGoogle 9797
  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (3 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 1 link without text

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

  • Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (5 elements)

    Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 5 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 30 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 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 3 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

7 to fixGoogle 7769
  • No meta description

    No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • Title is short (21 characters)

    Your title is only 21 characters: “Abra Lighting Experts”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

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

  • 1 link crawlers can't follow

    1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.

  • 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.

  • One H1 headline

    Your <h1> is empty.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

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

  • 65 internal links, 0 external

    The homepage links to 65 pages on abralightinglights.com and 0 external pages.

3 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://abralightinglights.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

  • 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 (446 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 15 pages without a meta description

    /about-us, /contact-us, /request-a-quote, /ceiling-lighting, /ceiling-lighting/canopy and /ceiling-lighting/flushmount 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 22 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

4 to fixGoogle 9270
  • 1 broken image

    1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=271000656&tm=gtm002&Ver=2&mid=51ddbdbb-0eb7-42b2-87cb-ae6c58b858a9&bo=1&sid=824ce640d5c211f193c11bef09f846d8&vid=824d1000d5c211f199fb814c9abd5536&vids=1&msclkid=N&pi=9.

  • 6 small tap targets

    6 of 18 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 3 JavaScript errors while loading

    3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()”.

  • 1 distorted image

    1 image is displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so it looks stretched or squashed.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

1 to fix94
  • No Content-Security-Policy

    No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • 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.

7 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (abralightinglights.com).

  • Valid certificate (66 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for abralightinglights.com and is valid for another 66 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

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

  • HSTS enabled

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

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://abralightinglights.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 30 links work

    All 30 links checked from your homepage (30 internal, 0 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

1 to fix
  • Domain expires in 70 days

    abralightinglights.com is registered until Jan 2027. Make sure auto-renew is on and the card on file is current.

  • No CAA record

    abralightinglights.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

    abralightinglights.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 9 years old

    9 years

    abralightinglights.com was registered in Jan 2017 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

Content and conversion

1 to fix92
  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 4 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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 501 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 501 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: “Call Us: 888-545-4837”.

  • 21 calls to action

    The homepage has 21 calls to action, for example “Call Us: 888-545-4837”, “Contact Us” and “Request a Quote”.

  • 3 short forms

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

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 0 email links.

Email authentication

2 to fix40
  • No DMARC policy

    abralightinglights.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.

  • 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: 40/100

    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.bigcommerce.com -all”.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 6 trackers load before any consent

    6

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar, Klaviyo and Microsoft Ads and 1 more (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.

  • 22 cookies set on arrival

    22

    Opening the homepage sets 22 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.

  • 28 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 28 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Upkeep, stack and company

No signs of neglect in what was checked: the copyright year, CMS and plugin versions, and jQuery.
