activepestcontrol.com website review

About 994 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.7 s faster on a phone.

About 355 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.4 s faster on a phone.

Your mobile performance score is 31 (desktop: 64). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

A phone's processor spends 5.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Facebook and Accessibe Accessibility Overlay and others), adding 1.5 MB and 1.7 s of main-thread time.

7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 900 ms.

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 595 ms of main-thread work and 514 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.

6 images could be 102 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 500 ms faster on a phone.

Facebook costs a phone 362 ms of main-thread work and 220 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.

28 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (374 KiB).

20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 297 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

The page has 2,522 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

Polyfills for old browsers add 56 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

36 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

Desktop scores 64 but mobile only 31. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

4 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

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.

Your largest element takes 17.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Active Pest Control technician with customer outside reside…”.

The page becomes fully interactive after 27.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

The first text or image appears after 6.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 1.6 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

Visually, the page fills in at 8.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-10, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 136 ms to 162 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Real visitors see the first content after 2.1 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

Real visitors wait 1.4 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-10, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.6 s to 2.6 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 4.2 MB in 258 requests on a phone: scripts 2.3 MB (76), fonts 660 KiB (9) and images 620 KiB (39). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

1 image further down the page (25 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.19 g of CO₂e: 142.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

14 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

Banner landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

Contentinfo landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

Document should not have more than one banner landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

Your title is 66 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Pest Control Experts | Exterminators | Pest Control Services in GA”.

Structured data found (BreadcrumbList, ImageObject, LocalBusiness and Organization) but with 8 problems, for example “LocalBusiness: sameAs is not an absolute URL ("-81.4797941")”.

The homepage links to 256 pages on activepestcontrol.com and 20 external pages.

/reviews, /residential/attic-insulation and /home-services/rodent-and-wildlife-exclusion have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

/reviews, /pest-id-photo-tool, /specials, /blog, /contact-us and /home-services and 9 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

/blog took over 3 s to send its HTML from our server.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 63 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

2 images failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=26338436&tm=gtm002&Ver=2&mid=103c1e83-85fd-4051-bb95-fab05391cabc&bo=1&sid=5f3639c0caa211f187a32dc2f8d893ae&vid=5f3651e0caa211f1ad4d59d937754bca&vids=1&msclkid=N&pi=91.

2 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_TUNNEL_CONNECTION_FAILED”.

1 image is served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.

Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

Large scripts ship without source maps.

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

No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.

There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

activepestcontrol.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.

activepestcontrol.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.

Your longest form asks for 13 fields (9 required). Every extra field lowers completion.

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

The homepage carries about 1,018 words of visible text.

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

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.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel and Microsoft Ads and 1 more (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (OneTrust) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

Opening the homepage sets 18 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

Loading the homepage contacts 39 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
