Speed

7 to fix65
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.3 s

    4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.3 s.

  • Improve image delivery

    750 ms · 1.1 MB

    12 images could be 1.1 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 65

    65/100

    Your mobile performance score is 65. 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 (Bigcommerce, Hotjar and Facebook and others), adding 2.4 MB and 702 ms of main-thread time.

  • Bigcommerce adds 207 ms

    207 ms

    Bigcommerce costs a phone 207 ms of main-thread work and 1.7 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.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    300 ms · 79 KiB

    About 79 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    257 KiB

    About 257 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • 6 long tasks on the main thread

    6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 237 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    219 KiB

    11 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (219 KiB).

  • Legacy JavaScript

    31 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 31 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • 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.

  • Minify JavaScript

    5 KiB

    5 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 777 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 10 ms

    10 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 10 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix56
  • Time to Interactive: 9.6 s

    9.6 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 9.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.323

    0.323

    The layout shifts by 0.323 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 3.9 s

    3.9 s

    Your largest element takes 3.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Total Blocking Time: 282 ms

    282 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 282 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 13 images without width and height

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

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • First Contentful Paint: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.7 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Speed Index: 2.4 s

    2.4 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 2.4 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.

Images and page weight

3 to fix65
  • Page weight: 2.5 MB in 100 requests

    2.5 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.5 MB in 100 requests on a phone: images 1.4 MB (43), scripts 834 KiB (39) and fonts 100 KiB (3). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 3 images in older formats

    3 images (575 KiB) 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 far larger than shown

    146 KiB

    4 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example NEW---Combined-Freeze-Dried.jpg at 1,536 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 146 KiB.

  • 5 images below the first screen load straight away

    5 images further down the page (247 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.70 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.70 g of CO₂e: 84.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

2 to fixGoogle 9798
  • 3 links without text

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

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 42 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 46 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 2 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

8 to fixGoogle 7765
  • No meta description

    No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • Title is short (22 characters)

    Your title is only 22 characters: “Activa Custom Pet Food”. 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.

  • 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.

  • No XML sitemap

    No XML sitemap at https://activacustompetfood.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

  • 12 links with vague text

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

  • 1 link crawlers can't follow

    1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.

  • One H1 headline

    Your <h1> is empty.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

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

  • 112 internal links, 6 external

    The homepage links to 112 pages on activacustompetfood.com and 6 external pages.

2 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

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

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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 (861 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 15 pages without a meta description

    /pet-food, /dog, /dog/grain-free, /dog/no-corn, /dog/original and /pet-food/dog/freeze-dried and 9 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 50 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • 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.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9687
  • 6 small tap targets

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

  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Unexpected token 'var'”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

1 to fix93
  • No Content-Security-Policy

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

  • Short HSTS lifetime

    HSTS is set, but max-age is 0 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

  • 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 (activacustompetfood.com).

  • Valid certificate (42 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for activacustompetfood.com and is valid for another 42 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

    X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://activacustompetfood.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 43 links work

    All 43 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 3 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    activacustompetfood.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

    activacustompetfood.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 8 years old

    8 years

    activacustompetfood.com was registered in Nov 2017 through NameCheap, Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Nov 2027

    activacustompetfood.com is registered until Nov 2027.

Content and conversion

2 to fix86
  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 14 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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.

  • About 752 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 752 words of visible text.

5 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “SHOP FREEZE DRIED” and “SHOP BISCUITS”.

  • 16 calls to action

    The homepage has 16 calls to action, for example “Register”, “Shop All Pet Food” and “Shop All Treats and Therapy”.

  • 2 short forms

    2 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics, Meta Pixel and Hotjar.

  • 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 fix70
  • DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be activacustompetfood.com is still delivered. Add a report address, check the reports, then move to quarantine.

  • Email authentication score: 70/100

    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 in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:spf.titan.email ~all”.

  • DKIM signing found

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

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 6 trackers load before any consent

    6

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and Klaviyo and 1 more (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.

  • 18 cookies set on arrival

    18

    Opening the homepage sets 18 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.

  • 20 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 20 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Upkeep, stack and company

No signs of neglect in what was checked: the copyright year, CMS and plugin versions, and jQuery.
