Speed
Render-blocking requests
1.8 s24 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.8 s.
Main-thread work: 4.3 s
A phone's processor spends 4.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Improve image delivery
4.2 MB27 images could be 4.2 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and Facebook and others), adding 1.4 MB and 1.6 s of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 53
53/100Your mobile performance score is 53. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
220 ms · 635 KiBAbout 635 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 220 ms faster on a phone.
Google Tag Manager adds 664 ms
664 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 664 ms of main-thread work and 694 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
200 ms · 370 KiB12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (370 KiB).
17 long tasks on the main thread
17 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 356 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
1,626 HTML elements
The page has 1,626 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 54 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 54 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
70 ms · 44 KiBAbout 44 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 70 ms faster on a phone.
Minify CSS
70 ms · 3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Minify JavaScript
31 KiB31 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Duplicated JavaScript
17 KiB17 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.
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.

3.7 sYour largest element takes 3.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “This website or its third-party tools process personal data…”. Most of its time is element render delay (2.3 s).
Tap response (INP) got 10% slower for real visitors

Images and page weight
Page weight: 16.4 MB in 179 requests
16.4 MBYour homepage downloads 16.4 MB in 179 requests on a phone: images 14.4 MB (52), scripts 1.7 MB (66) and stylesheets 80 KiB (20). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
3 images in older formats
3 images (433 KiB) 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 4.6 g of CO₂ per visit
4.64 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 4.64 g of CO₂e: 556.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Images 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
12 tap targets too small
12 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (1 element)
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 38 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
49 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 51 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 passed and 2 failed. 5 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
71 internal links, 11 external
The homepage links to 71 pages on acac.com and 11 external pages.
7 checks passed
Meta description: 130 characters
Your meta description is 130 characters: “ACAC: World Class Fitness Centers in VA, PA, and SC. From aquatics to spas, we offer it all. Discover wellness excellen…”.
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Live your best.A stronger, healthier you.”.
Title: 40 characters
Your title is a healthy 40 characters: “Fitness Center | acac Fitness & Wellness”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://acac.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, Organization, WebPage and WebSite.
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://acac.com/sitemap_index.xml.
AI search readiness
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 (800 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
5 pages without a meta description
/location/acac-eagleview, /location/acac-main-line, /location/acac-midlothian, /location/acac-short-pump and /location/libbie-mill have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
10 links to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 10 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example /location/acac-eagleview, whose canonical is /location/eagleview. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 43 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

Best practices
38 small tap targets
38 of 65 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
1 JavaScript error while loading
1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
1 broken link to your own pages
1 link from your homepage to your own site is broken, for example https://acac.com/program/athletic-performance-training/ (404).
No Content-Security-Policy
No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
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 (acac.com).
Valid certificate (52 days left)
The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for acac.com and is valid for another 52 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://acac.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.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
acac.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
acac.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 30 years old
30 yearsacac.com was registered in Jul 1996 through Network Solutions, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Jul 2030
acac.com is registered until Jul 2030.
Content and conversion
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.
No form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
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 871 words of copy
The homepage carries about 871 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: “JOIN ACAC”.
8 calls to action
The homepage has 8 calls to action, for example “Join ACAC”, “Group Exercise Schedule” and “Programs & Events Schedule”.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and HubSpot.
Direct contact links
Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 0 email links.
Phone number on the homepage
Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.
Email authentication
Email authentication score: 100/100
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 with a strict ending (-all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 ip4:64.99.230.39 ip4:72.84.242.52 ip4:72.84.242.50 ip4:216.30.191.197 ip4:50.237.124.186 ip4:173.192.231.182 ip4…”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”, “selector2” and “s1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
3 trackers load before any consent
3Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Tag Manager and HubSpot (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (CookieYes) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.
2 cookies set on arrival
2Opening the homepage sets 2 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
