acg.aaa.com website review

164 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (4.2 MB).

9 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.5 s.

About 987 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.4 s faster on a phone.

A phone's processor spends 12.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 9.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 1.0 s of main-thread work and 786 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.

Your mobile performance score is 27. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

The page has 4,493 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

26 images could be 3.4 MB 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.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Decibel Insight and Facebook and others), adding 1.6 MB and 3.0 s of main-thread time.

20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 2.2 s. During a long task the page ignores taps.

Decibel Insight costs a phone 865 ms of main-thread work and 66 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.

About 75 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

Facebook costs a phone 428 ms of main-thread work and 253 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.

Tealium costs a phone 251 ms of main-thread work and 140 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.

Polyfills for old browsers add 74 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 250 ms faster on a phone.

32 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

22 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

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 visitors wait 6.3 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.32 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

Real visitors see the first content after 5.7 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

Your largest element takes 21.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “AAA roadside assistance technician replacing a flat tire.”.

Visually, the page fills in at 18.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

The page becomes fully interactive after 44.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 3.4 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

The first text or image appears after 4.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Real visitors wait 336 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 222 ms to 298 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Real visitors wait 1.3 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

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

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 4.6 s to 4.6 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 8.1 MB in 421 requests on a phone: images 4.9 MB (129), scripts 2.8 MB (100) and other files 212 KiB (174). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

2 images weigh 1.1 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

12 images (3.0 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.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.29 g of CO₂e: 274.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

8 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

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

2 links inside paragraphs rely on colour alone to stand out.

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

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 41 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

Heading levels should only increase by one: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 30 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

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

No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

31 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

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

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

The homepage links to 187 pages on acg.aaa.com and 69 external pages.

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.

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.

/aaa-membership.html and /insurance/claim-services.html have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 63 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

3 images failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=151002327&Ver=2&mid=4586f051-633e-461c-b0a2-8dbeb433cba8&bo=2&sid=3f33b510d7bc11f1837609f95bc1c939&vid=3f33d530d7bc11f19fd501e918b60e8a&vids=1&msclkid=N&pi=918639831&l.

8 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

The page uses 2 deprecated browser APIs that will stop working in future browsers (“Synchronous `XMLHttpRequest` on the main thread is deprecated because of its detrimental effects to…”).

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 400 ()”.

1 image is served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.

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

Large scripts ship without source maps.

2 links from your homepage to your own site are broken, for example https://www.acg.aaa.com/common/sign-in.html (404).

HSTS is set, but max-age is 1 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

10 links go through two or more redirects, for example https://www.acg.aaa.com/common/join.html.

No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

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

There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

aaa.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.

aaa.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.

Social proof on the homepage: 1 testimonial or review block. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

Your longest form asks for 12 fields (0 required). Every extra field lowers completion.

The homepage carries about 3,244 words of visible text.

The page uses urgency cues (a countdown or limited-time wording).

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.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Amazon Ads, Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Meta Pixel and 4 mores (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.

Opening the homepage sets 45 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

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.

Loading the homepage contacts 66 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
