Speed

4 to fix84
  • Mobile performance score: 84

    84/100

    Your mobile performance score is 84 (desktop: 86). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    450 ms · 213 KiB

    About 213 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • 4 third-party services on the page

    4 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Cloudflare and Google/Doubleclick Ads and others), adding 532 KiB and 570 ms of main-thread time.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 562 ms

    562 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 562 ms of main-thread work and 520 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.

  • 5 long tasks on the main thread

    5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 247 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Render-blocking requests

    150 ms

    1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 150 ms.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    13 KiB

    About 13 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    11 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 11 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • 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.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    4 KiB

    1 file is served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (4 KiB).

  • Minify CSS

    3 KiB

    3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 0.9 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 524 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 1 ms

    1 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 1 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix100

  • Time to Interactive: 6.2 s

    6.2 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 6.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 3.3 s

    3.3 s

    Your largest element takes 3.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “We tested the year's leading security suites for protection…”.

  • Total Blocking Time: 328 ms

    328 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 328 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    +1%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.6 s to 1.6 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

9 checks passed

  • Real-user FCP: 1.0 s

    1.0 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.0 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 557 ms

    557 ms

    Real visitors wait 557 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.7 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

  • Speed Index: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 1.7 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.

Images and page weight

100
  • About 0.2 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.23 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.23 g of CO₂e: 27.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

4 checks passed
  • Page weight: 836 KiB in 21 requests

    836 KiB

    Your homepage downloads 836 KiB in 21 requests on a phone: scripts 539 KiB (5), fonts 163 KiB (3) and images 96 KiB (7). That is a lean page.

  • 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

2 to fixGoogle 10098
  • 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.

  • 2 form fields without a label

    2 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 21 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 46 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 1 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

Google 100100
  • 126 internal links, 2 external

    The homepage links to 126 pages on adsblocks.com and 2 external pages.

8 checks passed
  • Meta description: 152 characters

    Your meta description is 152 characters: “Expert web security guides, antivirus rankings, and online privacy tips in plain language. See our tested picks for the…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Top Antivirus Software of 2026”.

  • Title: 61 characters

    Your title is a healthy 61 characters: “AdsBlocks - Web Security, Ad Blocking & Online Privacy Guides”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization and WebSite.

  • 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://adsblocks.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
  • 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.

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.

  • Organization data: 6 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,511 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

100
  • 15 internal pages checked

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

7 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 15 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 10093
  • 9 small tap targets

    9 of 23 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

2 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

1 to fix94
  • 1 broken external link

    1 link to other sites is dead, for example https://bsky.app/profile/adsblocks.bsky.social (404).

  • 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 (adsblocks.com).

  • Valid certificate (31 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for adsblocks.com and is valid for another 31 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.

  • HSTS enabled

    Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://adsblocks.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

    adsblocks.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

    adsblocks.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 3 years old

    3 years

    adsblocks.com was registered in Sep 2023 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Sep 2028

    adsblocks.com is registered until Sep 2028.

Content and conversion

3 to fix71
  • 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: 3 testimonial or review blocks. 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.

  • About 1,381 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,381 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • 4 calls to action

    The homepage has 4 calls to action, for example “Subscribe” and “Contact”.

  • 3 short forms

    3 short forms (2 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Cloudflare Web Analytics.

  • Risk reducer mentioned

    A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.

Email authentication

2 to fix35
  • No DMARC policy

    adsblocks.com has no DMARC record, so nothing tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF or DKIM. Gmail and Yahoo require DMARC from bulk senders.

  • 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: 35/100

    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 in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:_spf.mx.cloudflare.net ~all”.

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.

  • 3 cookies set on arrival

    3

    Opening the homepage sets 3 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.

  • 7 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 7 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
