Speed

14 to fix27
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    7.7 s · 2.1 MB

    27 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (2.1 MB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    3.8 s · 1.2 MB

    About 1.2 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.8 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    4.7 s

    7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 4.7 s.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 2.7 s

    2.7 s

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 2.7 s of main-thread work and 1.7 MB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

  • Improve image delivery

    1.0 s · 772 KiB

    8 images could be 772 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.0 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 27

    27/100

    Your mobile performance score is 27 (desktop: 40). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 7.3 s

    A phone's processor spends 7.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Facebook and osano.com and others), adding 3.8 MB and 4.1 s of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    770 ms · 98 KiB

    About 98 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 770 ms faster on a phone.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 539 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Facebook adds 382 ms

    382 ms

    Facebook costs a phone 382 ms of main-thread work and 306 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.

  • osano.com adds 338 ms

    338 ms

    osano.com costs a phone 338 ms of main-thread work and 93 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.

  • bc0a.com adds 60 ms

    60 ms

    bc0a.com costs a phone 60 ms of main-thread work and 1.3 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 CDN adds 135 ms

    135 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 135 ms of main-thread work and 347 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.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    200 ms · 24 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 24 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.

  • Font display

    100 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 12 ms

    12 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 12 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 37.1 s

    37.1 s

    Your largest element takes 37.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Water flowing in creek scene”.

  • Time to Interactive: 42.1 s

    42.1 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 42.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 7.1 s

    7.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 7.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 13.7 s

    13.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 13.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 2.5 s

    2.5 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 2.5 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 12 images without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) got 16% slower for real visitors

    +16%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-10, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 144 ms to 170 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

8 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 LCP: 2.0 s

    2.0 s

    Real visitors wait 2.0 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 187 ms

    187 ms

    Real visitors wait 187 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.02

    0.02

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.02 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.6 s

    1.6 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.6 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 697 ms

    697 ms

    Real visitors wait 697 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 12% faster for real visitors

    -12%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-10, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.5 s to 2.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

4 to fix43
  • Page weight: 8.6 MB in 192 requests

    8.6 MB

    Your homepage downloads 8.6 MB in 192 requests on a phone: images 4.4 MB (55), scripts 3.0 MB (58) and other files 497 KiB (60). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 9 images below the first screen load straight away

    9 images further down the page (777 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • 6 images in older formats

    6 images (498 KiB) are JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.

  • 4 images far larger than shown

    290 KiB

    4 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example Water-flowing-in-creek-scene.png at 1,280 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 290 KiB.

  • About 2.4 g of CO₂ per visit

    2.43 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.43 g of CO₂e: 292.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

5 to fixGoogle 8993
  • Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children (1 element)

    Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • 7 text elements with low contrast

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

  • ARIA input fields must have an accessible name (1 element)

    ARIA input fields must have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)

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

  • 1 link without text

    1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (7 elements).

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 17 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 48 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 48 passed and 4 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 8585
  • Title is long (74 characters)

    Your title is 74 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Advanced Drainage Systems | Leading Pipe & Stormwater Management Solutions”.

  • No structured data

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

  • 4 links with vague text

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

  • 2 links crawlers can't follow

    2 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.

  • 100 internal links, 15 external

    The homepage links to 100 pages on adspipe.com and 15 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 158 characters

    Your meta description is 158 characters: “Advanced Drainage Systems provides high-performing, durable pipe and innovative stormwater management solutions. Discov…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Our Reason is Water®”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.adspipe.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://adspipe.ca/sitemap-adscanada.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.

  • 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.

2 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 (876 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

100
  • 3 pages slow to respond

    /infiltrator, /pipe/n-12-dual-wall-pipe and /pipe/hp-storm-dual-wall-pipe took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 77 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 9693
  • 57 small tap targets

    57 of 70 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
  • No Content-Security-Policy

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

  • 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 (adspipe.com).

  • Valid certificate (166 days left)

    The certificate from GoDaddy.com · GoDaddy TLS Intermediate CA DV - R1v1 verifies for adspipe.com and is valid for another 166 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

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

  • HSTS enabled

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

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://adspipe.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2

    The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.

  • All 52 links work

    All 52 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 12 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

1 to fix
  • Domain expires in 57 days

    adspipe.com is registered until Dec 2026. Make sure auto-renew is on and the card on file is current.

  • No CAA record

    adspipe.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

    adspipe.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.

1 checks passed
  • Domain is 25 years old

    25 years

    adspipe.com was registered in Dec 2000 through CSC Corporate Domains, Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

Content and conversion

1 to fix86
  • No social proof

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

  • About 735 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 735 words of visible text.

6 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Start a Project”.

  • 11 calls to action

    The homepage has 11 calls to action, for example “Start a Project”, “Contact a Pro” and “Learn More”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 2 phone links and 0 email links.

  • Risk reducer mentioned

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

Email authentication

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

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

  • 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 mx ip4:63.64.60.202/32 ip4:192.188.251.0/24 ip4:199.167.63.33 ip4:199.167.63.3 ip4:13.66.130.121/32 ip4:20.96.2.…”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”, “s1” and “s2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Tag Manager and The Trade Desk (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (Osano) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 6 cookies set on arrival

    6

    Opening the homepage sets 6 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 20 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 20 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
