Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
700 ms · 5.8 MB27 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (5.8 MB).
Improve image delivery
2.1 MB13 images could be 2.1 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Mobile performance score: 71
71/100Your mobile performance score is 71 (desktop: 98). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
200 ms1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 200 ms.
Reduce unused JavaScript
75 KiBAbout 75 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Legacy JavaScript
13 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 13 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 98 but mobile only 71. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.
2 checks passed
Server response: 470 ms
470 msYour server sent the HTML in 470 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Main-thread work: 0.4 s
A phone's processor spends 0.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 33 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 8.6 s
8.6 sYour largest element takes 8.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Click to view Concept2, featured case study”.
Time to Interactive: 9.2 s
9.2 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 9.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 5.3 s
5.3 sVisually, the page fills in at 5.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Largest content (LCP) got 10% slower for real visitors
+10%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.5 s to 3.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
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.
3 checks passed
First Contentful Paint: 1.5 s
1.5 sThe first text or image appears after 1.5 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Total Blocking Time: 0 ms
0 msScripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 6.2 MB in 47 requests
6.2 MBYour homepage downloads 6.2 MB in 47 requests on a phone: images 5.9 MB (32), scripts 132 KiB (11) and HTML 116 KiB (1). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image over 500 KB
ERP Diagram_0.png weighs 1.7 MB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
3 images far larger than shown
1.4 MB3 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example ERP Diagram_0.png at 2,390 px wide, shown at 360 px. Resized copies would save about 1.4 MB.
6 images in older formats
6 images (2.2 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.
4 images below the first screen load straight away
4 images further down the page (2.1 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.8 g of CO₂ per visit
1.75 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.75 g of CO₂e: 210.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
15 text elements with low contrast
15 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
8 tap targets too small
8 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (8 elements).
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 42 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
12 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 12 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 12 passed and 0 failed. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (69 characters)
Your title is 69 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Customer Experience Specialists for Manufacturing & B2B Organizations”.
2 H1 headlines
There are 2 <h1> headlines (“Your backend is complicated. Buying from you shou…” and “Your backend is complicated. Buying from you shou…”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
50 internal links, 7 external
The homepage links to 50 pages on acrocommerce.com and 7 external pages.
6 checks passed
Meta description: 155 characters
Your meta description is 155 characters: “Acro Commerce delivers ecommerce solutions for manufacturers, reducing time-to-market and complexity with seamless inte…”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.acrocommerce.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: ItemList, Organization, Person, WebPage and WebSite.
Open Graph tags complete
Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.
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://www.acrocommerce.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
3 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.
Organization data: 6 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details.
llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (5 KiB, 0 links, though it should open with a “# Title” line), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
3 linked pages hidden from search
/case-studies, /case-studies/discover-network-client-story and /decoupled-bigcommerce are marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If they are meant to be found, remove the noindex.
2 pages share a title
/case-studies and /case-studies/discover-network-client-story all use the title “Our Case Studies | Acro Commerce”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
2 pages share a meta description
/case-studies and /case-studies/discover-network-client-story use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
1 page with very little text
/contact-us has under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.
4 pages slow to respond
/case-study/hu-friedy, /case-studies/accurate-industries-acumatica-solution-story, /d2c-ecommerce-for-b2b and /decoupled-bigcommerce took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

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 clickjacking protection
Neither X-Frame-Options nor a CSP frame-ancestors policy is set, so any site can embed yours in a frame.
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.
6 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (acrocommerce.com).
Valid certificate (55 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YR1 verifies for acrocommerce.com and is valid for another 55 days.
HSTS enabled
Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.
http:// redirects to https
http://acrocommerce.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2
The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.
All 36 links work
All 36 links checked from your homepage (30 internal, 6 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
acrocommerce.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
acrocommerce.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 26 years old
26 yearsacrocommerce.com was registered in Nov 1999 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Nov 2027
acrocommerce.com is registered until Nov 2027.
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.
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 phone number on the homepage
A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
No direct contact details
No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.
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 1,362 words of copy
The homepage carries about 1,362 words of visible text.
2 checks passed
8 calls to action
The homepage has 8 calls to action, for example “Contact”, “Get your planning toolkit” and “Talk to an expert”.
Social proof on the page
Social proof on the homepage: 9 testimonial or review blocks, 1 customer or partner logo and 2 trust badges.
Email authentication
Email authentication score: 85/100
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, and sends you reports.
SPF in place (~all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ip4:34.213.55.89/32 include:1659229.spf06.hubspotemail.net ~all”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “google”, “k2” and “s1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
6 trackers load before any consent
6Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, HubSpot and LinkedIn Insight and 1 more (measured from a US location before any click).
