Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.5 s · 274 KiBAbout 274 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.5 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 69
69/100Your mobile performance score is 69. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
450 ms2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Google Tag Manager and Klaviyo and others), adding 586 KiB and 251 ms of main-thread time.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 32 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 32 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 26 KiBAbout 26 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.
Font display
150 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 150 ms).
2 long tasks on the main thread
2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 100 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
38 KiB8 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (38 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.

Core Web Vitals

Speed Index: 5.4 s

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.
1 image without width and height
1 image 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.

Total Blocking Time: 54 ms

0.74 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.74 g of CO₂e: 88.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

SEO

1 page without a meta description
/customer_authentication/redirect has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (adasignstore.com).
Valid certificate (54 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for adasignstore.com and is valid for another 54 days.
Protected from clickjacking
X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.
Content-Security-Policy set

http:// redirects to https

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.
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
Phone number is not tap-to-call
Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.
No risk reducer

About 710 words of copy
The homepage carries about 710 words of visible text.
3 checks passed
10 calls to action

5 short forms
5 short forms (4 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.
Analytics in place

Email authentication
No SPF record

DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be adasignstore.com is still delivered. Add a report address, check the reports, then move to quarantine.
No DKIM key on the usual selectors

Email authentication score: 25/100
