ackerman-properties.com website review

19 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (3.0 MB).

About 662 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.5 s faster on a phone.

7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.7 s.

Your mobile performance score is 53. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

3 images could be 101 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 650 ms faster on a phone.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Facebook and New Relic and others), adding 3.5 MB and 325 ms of main-thread time.

About 79 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

Polyfills for old browsers add 31 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

cinccdn.com costs a phone 4 ms of main-thread work and 2.9 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.

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 243 ms of main-thread work and 312 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.

6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 173 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

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.

Your largest element takes 23.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.

The page becomes fully interactive after 23.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

The first text or image appears after 4.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 7.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 293 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

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

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.

Your homepage downloads 4.3 MB in 39 requests on a phone: images 2.9 MB (11), scripts 1.1 MB (10) and fonts 185 KiB (3). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

1 image (37 KiB) is 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.

1 image further down the page (37 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.22 g of CO₂e: 146.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

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

ARIA commands must have an accessible name: 7 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 15 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

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

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

Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).

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

Your title is only 19 characters: “Ackerman Properties”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

Your meta description is only 33 characters: “Search Grand Rapids Home Listings”. 70 to 160 characters is enough to sell the click.

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

No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.

The homepage links to 69 pages on ackerman-properties.com and 4 external pages.

Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example /seller/homeestimate, whose canonical is /seller/homeestimate/default. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 18 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

13 of 27 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://uni.cinccdn.com//CastleFramework/client/dist/version/26114863/styles/WMySAP1.app.m…”.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

searchgrandrapidshomelistings.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.

searchgrandrapidshomelistings.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.

Your longest form asks for 11 fields (0 required). Every extra field lowers completion.

The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

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

The homepage carries about 824 words of visible text.

ackerman-properties.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.

ackerman-properties.com has no SPF record, so mail servers can't tell which servers may send email as you. Your mail lands in spam more often, and anyone can send mail pretending to be you.

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: 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 Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Meta Pixel (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 10 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 13 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
