One score from every part of this review. How it works

Live view · interaction off

Speed

3 to fix75
  • Improve image delivery

    1.2 s · 238 KiB

    1 image could be 238 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.2 s faster on a phone.

  • 3,117 HTML elements

    The page has 3,117 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Mobile performance score: 75

    75/100

    Your mobile performance score is 75. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    47 KiB

    About 47 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 0.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 268 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 35 ms

    35 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 35 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

3 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 6.7 s

    6.7 s

    Your largest element takes 6.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Kyle Schmidt instructing at Law Enforcement Range Developme…”.

  • Time to Interactive: 6.8 s

    6.8 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 6.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 3.9 s

    3.9 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 3.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +9%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 104 ms to 113 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    +3%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.3 s to 2.4 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

9 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

  • Real-user LCP: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    Real visitors wait 1.7 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 111 ms

    111 ms

    Real visitors wait 111 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.4 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 781 ms

    781 ms

    Real visitors wait 781 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.4 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

  • Total Blocking Time: 0 ms

    0 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

100
  • About 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.50 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.50 g of CO₂e: 60.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

4 checks passed
  • Page weight: 1.8 MB in 16 requests

    1.8 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.8 MB in 16 requests on a phone: images 1.3 MB (7), fonts 338 KiB (6) and HTML 120 KiB (1). That is a lean page.

  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • 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

5 to fixGoogle 9095
  • Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children (2 elements)

    Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (46 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 46 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)

    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.

  • The skip-link target should exist and be focusable (1 element)

    The skip-link target should exist and be focusable: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 24 links without text

    24 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 17 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 50 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 56 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 6 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 9298
  • 8 links with vague text

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

  • 257 internal links, 22 external

    The homepage links to 257 pages on actiontarget.com and 22 external pages.

8 checks passed
  • Meta description: 139 characters

    Your meta description is 139 characters: “Action Target specializes in the design, build, and support of world-class shooting ranges— delivering safe and customi…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “The Action Target Advantage”.

  • Title: 55 characters

    Your title is a healthy 55 characters: “Action Target | Shooting Range Design, Build, & Support”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://actiontarget.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization.

  • 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.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://actiontarget.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
  • 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.

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.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (3,119 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 4 pages without a meta description

    /industries-served/law-enforcement-shooting-ranges, /industries-served/commercial-shooting-ranges, /industries-served/military-shooting-ranges and /shooting-range-retrofit-upgrades have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 11 pages without an H1

    /contact-us, /training/seminars, /industries-served, /industries-served/law-enforcement-shooting-ranges, /industries-served/commercial-shooting-ranges and /industries-served/military-shooting-ranges and 5 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 4 pages with very little text

    /training/seminars, /build-a-shooting-range, /range-projects and /about-us/customer-testimonials have 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

    /industries-served/military-shooting-ranges, /shooting-range-retrofit-upgrades, /about-us/customer-testimonials and /product/smartrange-axis-connect took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 97 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    13 pages of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 13 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 10093
  • 3 small tap targets

    3 of 14 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

2 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

2 to fix86
  • No HSTS header

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

  • 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.

5 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (actiontarget.com).

  • Valid certificate (83 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE2 verifies for actiontarget.com and is valid for another 83 days.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://actiontarget.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.

  • All 53 links work

    All 53 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 13 external) answered without errors; 20 did not answer within 5 s.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    actiontarget.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

    actiontarget.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 28 years old

    28 years

    actiontarget.com was registered in Aug 1998 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Apr 2029

    actiontarget.com is registered until Apr 2029.

Content and conversion

4 to fix72
  • 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.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 13 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • A 12-field form

    Your longest form asks for 12 fields (3 required). Every extra field lowers completion.

  • No opening hours

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

  • No map or directions link

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

  • About 457 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 457 words of visible text.

5 checks passed
  • 18 calls to action

    The homepage has 18 calls to action, for example “Contact Your Range Advisor”, “Contact” and “Shop”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 2 phone links and 2 email links.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.

  • Risk reducer mentioned

    A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.

Email authentication

1 to fix75
  • DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be actiontarget.com is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.

  • Email authentication score: 75/100

    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.

2 checks passed
  • SPF with a strict ending (-all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 include:amazonses.com a:dispatch-us.ppe-hosted.com include:spf.usaepay.com ip4:67.23.168.0/24 ip4:69.169.181.234…”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “s1”, “s2” and “mail”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

  • 7 cookies set on arrival

    7

    Opening the homepage sets 7 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • No consent tool detected

    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.

1 checks passed
  • No known trackers before consent

    No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).
