Speed

14 to fix30
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    9.3 s · 1.7 MB

    About 1.7 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 9.3 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    3.0 s · 568 KiB

    51 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (568 KiB).

  • Improve image delivery

    2.4 s · 475 KiB

    5 images could be 475 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.4 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.8 s

    11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.8 s.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 1.0 s

    1.0 s

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 1.0 s of main-thread work and 1,008 KiB 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.

  • Mobile performance score: 30

    30/100

    Your mobile performance score is 30. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 9.0 s

    A phone's processor spends 9.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 5.6 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, Google CDN and SearchSpring and others), adding 3.3 MB and 2.8 s of main-thread time.

  • Google CDN adds 686 ms

    686 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 686 ms of main-thread work and 1.1 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.

  • SearchSpring adds 382 ms

    382 ms

    SearchSpring costs a phone 382 ms of main-thread work and 135 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

    300 ms · 82 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 82 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 281 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • ZenDesk adds 229 ms

    229 ms

    ZenDesk costs a phone 229 ms of main-thread work and 431 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.

  • 2,048 HTML elements

    The page has 2,048 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    114 KiB

    About 114 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • 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: 16 ms

    16 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 16 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

10 to fix67
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 40.1 s

    40.1 s

    Your largest element takes 40.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Speed Index: 16.1 s

    16.1 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 16.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 41.6 s

    41.6 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 41.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 1.8 s

    1.8 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 1.8 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 4.1 s

    4.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 4.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user LCP: 2.8 s

    2.8 s

    Real visitors wait 2.8 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user FCP: 2.8 s

    2.8 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.8 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 967 ms

    967 ms

    Real visitors wait 967 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • 20 images without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    0%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 136 ms to 134 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -2%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.3 s to 2.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

3 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 136 ms

    136 ms

    Real visitors wait 136 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

2 to fix55
  • Page weight: 7.5 MB in 531 requests

    7.5 MB

    Your homepage downloads 7.5 MB in 531 requests on a phone: scripts 4.3 MB (360), images 2.0 MB (67) and other files 813 KiB (81). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image over 500 KB

    AED.com_Nov_Promo_Theme_-_mobile.png weighs 500 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 1 image below the first screen load straight away

    1 image further down the page (22 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 2.1 g of CO₂ per visit

    2.13 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.13 g of CO₂e: 255.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

8 to fixGoogle 8489
  • Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children (2 elements)

    Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • 13 tap targets too small

    13 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • Malformed lists

    Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.

  • Orphan list items

    Some list items are not inside a list.

  • Interactive controls must not be nested (2 elements)

    Interactive controls must not be nested: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 8 images without alt text

    8 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (7 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 7 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 10 links without text

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

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

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (2 elements).

1 checks passed
  • 53 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 60 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 53 passed and 7 failed. 5 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 9295
  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 13 links with vague text

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

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

  • 191 internal links, 18 external

    The homepage links to 191 pages on aed.com and 18 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 84 characters

    Your meta description is 84 characters: “Buy AEDs, AED accessories, AED program management and more at AED.com (www.aed.com).”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “AED Machines for Sale”.

  • Title: 35 characters

    Your title is a healthy 35 characters: “Shop AEDs and Accessories | AED.com”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.aed.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Corporation.

  • 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://www.aed.com/media/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 (836 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 103 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.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 9671
  • 1 broken image

    1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=5035855&Ver=2&mid=120e8636-8f13-43b8-b3f7-d558c0532312&bo=1&sid=d931b950d80811f1bb6c0fb916aea5f2&vid=d931c420d80811f18424b1d6eb98779f&vids=1&msclkid=N&pi=918639831&lg=.

  • 32 small tap targets

    32 of 114 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 3 JavaScript errors while loading

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

1 checks passed
  • 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.

  • 3 links through redirect chains

    3 links go through two or more redirects, for example http://resources.cardiopartners.com/pm_coordinator.

  • 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 (aed.com).

  • Valid certificate (44 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YR1 verifies for aed.com and is valid for another 44 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://aed.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2

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

  • All 51 links work

    All 51 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 11 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    aed.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

    aed.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 26 years old

    26 years

    aed.com was registered in Feb 2000 through Network Solutions, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Feb 2027

    aed.com is registered until Feb 2027.

Content and conversion

1 to fix94
  • Local business without LocalBusiness data

    Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.

  • No opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • No map or directions link

    There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

  • 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 638 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 638 words of visible text.

7 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Learn more”.

  • 12 calls to action

    The homepage has 12 calls to action, for example “Register”, “Request Service or Repair” and “Request a Quote”.

  • 30 short forms

    30 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 2 customer or partner logos and 11 trust badges.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Clarity and Hotjar.

  • Direct contact links

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

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.

Email authentication

90
  • Email authentication score: 90/100

    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.

3 checks passed
  • DMARC policy: quarantine

    DMARC tells receivers to quarantine mail that fails authentication.

  • SPF with a strict ending (-all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:spf.mandrillapp.com -all”.

  • DKIM signing found

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

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 8 trackers load before any consent

    8

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and Klaviyo and 3 mores (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.

  • 46 cookies set on arrival

    46

    Opening the homepage sets 46 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.

  • 61 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 61 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Upkeep, stack and company

No signs of neglect in what was checked: the copyright year, CMS and plugin versions, and jQuery.
