Speed

7 to fix63
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    900 ms · 164 KiB

    About 164 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 63

    63/100

    Your mobile performance score is 63 (desktop: 83). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • 7 third-party services on the page

    7 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Shopify and Pardot and others), adding 4.6 MB and 195 ms of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    600 ms · 63 KiB

    About 63 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    550 ms

    8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 550 ms.

  • Shopify adds 13 ms

    13 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 13 ms of main-thread work and 4.3 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.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 177 ms

    177 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 177 ms of main-thread work and 303 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.

  • 2 long tasks on the main thread

    2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 130 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Improve image delivery

    44 KiB

    2 images could be 44 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    7 KiB

    4 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (7 KiB).

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 496 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 4 ms

    4 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix67
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 8.7 s

    8.7 s

    Your largest element takes 8.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Reliable and Reproducible Results with ACT Test Panels Sinc…”.

  • First Contentful Paint: 4.9 s

    4.9 s

    The first text or image appears after 4.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 8.7 s

    8.7 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 8.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 4.9 s

    4.9 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 4.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 2 images without width and height

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

5 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 FCP: 1.2 s

    1.2 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.2 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 14% faster for real visitors

    -14%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.9 s to 1.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Total Blocking Time: 92 ms

    92 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 92 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.015

    0.015

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.015, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 6.8 MB in 257 requests

    6.8 MB

    Your homepage downloads 6.8 MB in 257 requests on a phone: media 4.6 MB (1), other files 1.0 MB (172) and scripts 613 KiB (46). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 1.9 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.93 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.93 g of CO₂e: 231.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • 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

Google 100100
2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 9 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 46 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 0 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 10091
  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • Meta description is long (313 characters)

    Your meta description is 313 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 26 internal links, 0 external

    The homepage links to 26 pages on acttestpanels.com and 0 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Reliable and Reproducible Results with ACT Test Panels”.

  • Title: 63 characters

    Your title is a healthy 63 characters: “Test Panels Testing Services A2LA #2745.01 and Testing Supplies”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • 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://acttestpanels.com/sitemap.xml.

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.

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.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (453 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (5 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 2 pages without a meta description

    /jobs and /blogs/finish-first have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 2 pages without an H1

    /jobs and /blogs/finish-first have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 1 page with very little text

    /pages/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.

  • 9 internal pages checked

    We fetched 9 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 9 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.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 9 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9291
  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

  • 3 distorted images

    3 images are displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so they look stretched or squashed.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    13 of 16 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

100
  • Short HSTS lifetime

    HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 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.

  • Deprecated X-XSS-Protection

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

  • No security.txt

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

7 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

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

  • Valid certificate (66 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for acttestpanels.com and is valid for another 66 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

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

  • Content-Security-Policy set

    A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://acttestpanels.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 13 links work

    All 13 links checked from your homepage (13 internal, 0 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    acttestpanels.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

    acttestpanels.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 20 years old

    20 years

    acttestpanels.com was registered in Feb 2006 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Feb 2027

    acttestpanels.com is registered until Feb 2027.

Content and conversion

1 to fix92
  • 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 379 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 379 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 TEST PANELS” and “CONTACT US”.

  • 6 calls to action

    The homepage has 6 calls to action, for example “Contact Us”, “Shop Test Panels” and “Get a Custom Quote”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 5 testimonial or review blocks and 1 customer or partner logo.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

Email authentication

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

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

  • 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 ip4:50.173.151.90 ip4:65.255.71.74 include:spf2.zetaone.com include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:aspmx.par…”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1” and “selector2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

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

  • 13 cookies set on arrival

    13

    Opening the homepage sets 13 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.

  • 12 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 12 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Upkeep, stack and company

  • The footer still says © 2018.
  • It loads jQuery 1.9.1, older than 3.5 (which fixed known security holes).
