acurite.com website review

About 519 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.4 s faster on a phone.

Your mobile performance score is 61. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (monkcommerce.app, Accessibe Accessibility Overlay and Shopify and others), adding 1.1 MB and 565 ms of main-thread time.

13 images could be 516 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

A phone's processor spends 2.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 909 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

monkcommerce.app costs a phone 186 ms of main-thread work and 543 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.

4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 198 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

About 14 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.

4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 150 ms.

6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (35 KiB).

Polyfills for old browsers add 12 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

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.

3 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Your largest element takes 13.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

The page becomes fully interactive after 14.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 6.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

The first text or image appears after 2.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 234 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 104 ms to 114 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.3 s to 1.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 3.3 MB in 247 requests on a phone: scripts 1.2 MB (84), images 1.0 MB (22) and other files 839 KiB (116). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

Sportsman_Slide-Background_Mobile_Tinted.jpg is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.94 g of CO₂e: 112.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

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

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

Headings skip levels (h2 → h6 and h2 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

Your title is 70 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “AcuRite Weather Monitoring | #1 Weather Station Brand in North America”.

Structured data found (Organization and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “WebSite: missing name”.

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

Your <h1> is empty.

The homepage links to 147 pages on acurite.com and 12 external pages.

Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.

/customer_authentication/redirect and /collections/optimus-weather-station-bundle are marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If they are meant to be found, remove the noindex.

/customer_authentication/redirect has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

/customer_authentication/redirect, /collections/optimus-weather-station-bundle, /collections/atlas, /collections/iris, /pages/what-is-a-home-weather-station and /pages/help-me-choose and 1 other have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 76 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Authorization will not be covered by the wildcard symbol (*) in CORS `Access-Control-Allow-Headers`…”).

HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://www.acurite.com/customer_authentication/redirect?locale=en&region_country=US.

No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

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.

acurite.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.

No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

The homepage carries about 1,070 words of visible text.

DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be acurite.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.

Opening the homepage sets 8 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

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.

Loading the homepage contacts 15 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
