acmetool.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Improve image delivery
4.0 s · 3.0 MB44 images could be 3.0 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.0 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
2.8 s26 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.8 s.
Reduce unused JavaScript
750 ms · 294 KiBAbout 294 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 62
62/100Your mobile performance score is 62. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Cloudflare CDN and Clarity and others), adding 889 KiB and 646 ms of main-thread time.
Google Tag Manager adds 387 ms
387 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 387 ms of main-thread work and 511 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.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 16 KiBAbout 16 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.
8 long tasks on the main thread
8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 160 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 9 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 9 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
26 KiB6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (26 KiB).
Minify CSS
7 KiB7 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
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.
Minify JavaScript
5 KiB5 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 1.2 s
A phone's processor spends 1.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 618 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 78 ms
78 msYour server sent the HTML in 78 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors
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.
Largest Contentful Paint: 10.5 s
10.5 sYour largest element takes 10.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Time to Interactive: 10.7 s
10.7 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 10.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Real-user TTFB: 896 ms
896 msReal visitors wait 896 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
62 images without width and height
62 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
First Contentful Paint: 2.8 s
2.8 sThe first text or image appears after 2.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.133
0.133The layout shifts by 0.133 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
Total Blocking Time: 211 ms
211 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 211 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
-9%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 124 ms to 111 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Speed Index: 3.0 s
3.0 sVisually, the page fills in at 3.0 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 5.6 MB in 120 requests
5.6 MBYour homepage downloads 5.6 MB in 120 requests on a phone: images 4.7 MB (70), scripts 773 KiB (25) and fonts 114 KiB (2). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
26 images far larger than shown
1.5 MB26 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example boise.jpg at 1,500 px wide, shown at 351 px. Resized copies would save about 1.5 MB.
40 images in older formats
40 images (4.2 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.
14 images below the first screen load straight away
14 images further down the page (1.3 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.6 g of CO₂ per visit
1.59 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.59 g of CO₂e: 190.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
2 buttons without a name
2 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
<html> element must have a lang attribute (1 element)
<html> element must have a lang attribute: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
Malformed lists
Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.
Orphan list items
Some list items are not inside a list.
1 tap target too small
1 tap target is too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
34 images without alt text
34 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (8 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 8 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
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.
34 links without text
34 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
2 form fields without a label
2 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
No page language
The <html> element has no lang attribute, so screen readers may read the page in the wrong voice and accent.
Headings should not be empty (1 element)
Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (1 element)
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
43 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 57 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 43 passed and 14 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
Title is short (24 characters)
Your title is only 24 characters: “Acme Construction Supply”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
Meta description is long (169 characters)
Your meta description is 169 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
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.
7 links with vague text
7 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
390 internal links, 5 external
The homepage links to 390 pages on acmetool.com and 5 external pages.
3 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.acmetool.com/.
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.
XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at http://www.acmetool.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
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.
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 (1,054 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 page points its canonical at the homepage
/home declares the homepage as its canonical URL, which tells Google it is a copy of the homepage and keeps it out of search results. A site-wide template setting usually causes this.
1 linked page hidden from search
/help-center is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.
2 pages share a title
/ and /home all use the title “Acme Construction Supply”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
4 pages without a meta description
/request-access, /help-center, /shopcart and /products have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 page without an H1
/home has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
8 internal pages checked
We fetched 8 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.
2 checks passed
Linked pages load
All 8 pages we checked loaded without an error.
Every page has a title
All 8 pages that loaded have a <title>.
Best practices
2 JavaScript errors while loading
2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Manifest: Line: 1, column: 1, Syntax error.”.
2 checks passed
Tap targets are thumb-sized
45 of 51 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
No Content-Security-Policy
No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
No X-Content-Type-Options
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.
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 (acmetool.com).
Valid certificate (68 days left)
The certificate from Amazon · Amazon RSA 2048 M01 verifies for acmetool.com and is valid for another 68 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://acmetool.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2
The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.
All 45 links work
All 45 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 5 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
acmetool.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
acmetool.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 yearsacmetool.com was registered in Jun 1996 through Network Solutions, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Jun 2030
acmetool.com is registered until Jun 2030.
Content and conversion
No call to action on the first screen
On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.
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 map 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 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 345 words of copy
The homepage carries about 345 words of visible text.
5 checks passed
17 calls to action
The homepage has 17 calls to action, for example “Request Online Account”, “Quote Request” and “Apply for Credit”.

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: 90/100
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: quarantine
DMARC tells receivers to quarantine mail that fails authentication.
SPF with a strict ending (-all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 ip4:52.2.99.47 ip4:65.140.115.254 include:_spf.prod.hydra.sophos.com include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:…”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1” and “k1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
4 trackers load before any consent
4Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Microsoft Clarity (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.
10 cookies set on arrival
10Opening the homepage sets 10 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
