Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
2.1 s · 310 KiB10 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (310 KiB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.8 s · 342 KiBAbout 342 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.8 s faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Bigcommerce, Google Tag Manager and Facebook and others), adding 3.0 MB and 832 ms of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 52
52/100Your mobile performance score is 52. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Bigcommerce adds 419 ms
419 msBigcommerce costs a phone 419 ms of main-thread work and 2.4 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.
Render-blocking requests
400 ms5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 400 ms.
Legacy JavaScript
300 ms · 23 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 23 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Google Tag Manager adds 177 ms
177 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 177 ms of main-thread work and 308 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.
10 long tasks on the main thread
10 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 203 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 25 KiBAbout 25 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.
Improve image delivery
8 KiB1 image could be 8 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
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.

Main-thread work: 1.8 s
A phone's processor spends 1.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 811 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 11 ms
11 msYour server sent the HTML in 11 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 19.9 s
19.9 sYour largest element takes 19.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.
Time to Interactive: 19.9 s
19.9 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 19.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 6.9 s
6.9 sVisually, the page fills in at 6.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Total Blocking Time: 576 ms
576 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 576 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
First Contentful Paint: 2.1 s
2.1 sThe first text or image appears after 2.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
6 images without width and height
6 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.
1 checks passed
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.032
0.032The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.032, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
2 images over 500 KB
2 images weigh 1.3 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
4 images far larger than shown
1.3 MB4 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example 20230802_175712.jpg at 2,654 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 1.3 MB.
Page weight: 3.1 MB in 53 requests
3.1 MBYour homepage downloads 3.1 MB in 53 requests on a phone: images 2.2 MB (26), scripts 792 KiB (16) and fonts 76 KiB (2). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
2 images in older formats
2 images (194 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.
2 images below the first screen load straight away
2 images further down the page (120 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit
0.88 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.88 g of CO₂e: 105.2 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”.
Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children (1 element)
Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.
39 text elements with low contrast
39 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Orphan list items
Some list items are not inside a list.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (4 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 4 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.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
2 form fields without a label
2 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 31 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
45 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 8 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is short (25 characters)
Your title is only 25 characters: “Active Carry Technologies”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
Meta description is short (28 characters)
Your meta description is only 28 characters: “bleeding control mobile kits”. 70 to 160 characters is enough to sell the click.
3 H1 headlines
There are 3 <h1> headlines (“”, “” and “Forgot Password”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
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://activecarrytec.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
2 links with vague text
2 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.
167 internal links, 4 external
The homepage links to 167 pages on activecarrytec.com and 4 external pages.
3 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://activecarrytec.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: WebSite.
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place.
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 (614 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 47 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
1 checks passed
Linked pages load
14 pages of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).
Best practices
10 small tap targets
10 of 19 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
Deprecated browser APIs
The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).
1 JavaScript error while loading
1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()”.
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
1 broken link to your own pages
1 link from your homepage to your own site is broken, for example https://activecarrytec.com/bolt-stretch-combo-system/ (404).
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.
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.
4 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (activecarrytec.com).
Valid certificate (80 days left)
The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for activecarrytec.com and is valid for another 80 days.
http:// redirects to https
http://activecarrytec.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.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
activecarrytec.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
activecarrytec.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 yearsactivecarrytec.com was registered in Sep 2018 through eNom, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Sep 2027
activecarrytec.com is registered until Sep 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.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: a star rating. 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.
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 290 words of copy
The homepage carries about 290 words of visible text.
3 checks passed
15 calls to action
The homepage has 15 calls to action, for example “Shop dropdown_arrow”, “Contact Us” and “Custom Shop/Kit Builder”.
5 short forms
5 short forms (2 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and Meta Pixel.
Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be activecarrytec.com is still delivered. Add a report address, check the reports, then move to quarantine.
No DKIM key on the usual selectors
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 score: 65/100
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.
1 checks passed
SPF with a strict ending (-all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 +a +mx include:_spf.bigcommerce.com -all”.
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 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.
14 cookies set on arrival
14Opening the homepage sets 14 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
No consent tool detected
