aftershockpc.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Improve image delivery
1.6 s · 1.7 MB47 images could be 1.7 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.6 s faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.1 s · 1.8 MBAbout 1.8 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.5 s8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.5 s.
Mobile performance score: 43
43/100Your mobile performance score is 43 (desktop: 49). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (frontapp.com, YouTube and Shopify and others), adding 13.7 MB and 1.6 s of main-thread time.
Shopify adds 301 ms
301 msShopify costs a phone 301 ms of main-thread work and 10.1 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
600 ms · 547 KiB9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (547 KiB).
frontapp.com adds 340 ms
340 msfrontapp.com costs a phone 340 ms of main-thread work and 1.5 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.
YouTube adds 333 ms
333 msYouTube costs a phone 333 ms of main-thread work and 995 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.
Main-thread work: 3.7 s
A phone's processor spends 3.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Legacy JavaScript
300 ms · 56 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 56 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
16 long tasks on the main thread
16 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 330 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Facebook adds 251 ms
251 msFacebook costs a phone 251 ms of main-thread work and 281 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.
Google Tag Manager adds 166 ms
166 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 166 ms of main-thread work and 357 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.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 129 KiBAbout 129 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.
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
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

+49%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-10, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 187 ms to 281 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Largest content (LCP) got 21% slower for real visitors
+21%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-10, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.3 s to 2.8 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

485 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 485 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
25 images without width and height
25 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 14.0 MB in 309 requests
14.0 MBYour homepage downloads 14.0 MB in 309 requests on a phone: images 9.4 MB (156), scripts 3.3 MB (68) and fonts 1.1 MB (7). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image over 500 KB
Intel_Unlock_One_Game_DT_Banner.webp weighs 1.3 MB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
7 images far larger than shown
1.3 MB7 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example Doggo.webp at 1,080 px wide, shown at 25 px. Resized copies would save about 1.3 MB.
35 images in older formats
35 images (6.6 MB) 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 below the first screen load straight away
4 images further down the page (714 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 4.0 g of CO₂ per visit
3.96 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.96 g of CO₂e: 475.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
2 buttons without a name
2 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
1 text element with low contrast
1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (13 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 13 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)
Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
5 form fields without a label
5 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
1 link without text
1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (4 elements)
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 171 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
36 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 42 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 36 passed and 6 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
No canonical URL
No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.
Meta description is long (185 characters)
Your meta description is 185 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
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.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
113 internal links, 22 external
The homepage links to 113 pages on aftershockpc.com and 22 external pages.
4 checks passed
Title: 59 characters
Your title is a healthy 59 characters: “AFTERSHOCK PC - Custom Gaming PCs, Laptops and Workstations”.

Structured data found: Organization and WebSite.
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://aftershockpc.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
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: 4 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,349 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 49 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
1 checks passed
Linked pages load
All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

5 third-party cookies
5 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.
4 JavaScript errors while loading
4 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Error: Minified React error #418; visit https://reactjs.org/docs/error-decoder.html?invariant=418 for the full message …”.
21 distorted images
21 images are displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so they look stretched or squashed.
Browser-reported issues
Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).
1 low-resolution image
1 image is served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.
2 checks passed
Tap targets are thumb-sized
57 of 57 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
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.
8 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (aftershockpc.com).
Valid certificate (38 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for aftershockpc.com and is valid for another 38 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://aftershockpc.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.
All 50 links work
All 50 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 10 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
aftershockpc.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
aftershockpc.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 14 years old
14 yearsaftershockpc.com was registered in May 2012 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

aftershockpc.com is registered until May 2036.
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.
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 phone number on the homepage
A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.
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.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
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 715 words of copy
The homepage carries about 715 words of visible text.
4 checks passed
20 calls to action
The homepage has 20 calls to action, for example “COLLECTION CENTRECollect Your Order”, “Buy Now” and “SHOP OUR DESKTOPS”.
3 short forms
3 short forms (2 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.
Social proof on the page
Social proof on the homepage: 1 customer or partner logo and 4 trust badges.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, Microsoft Clarity and TikTok Pixel.
Email authentication
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, and sends you reports.
SPF with a strict ending (-all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com -all”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “google”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
7 trackers load before any consent
7Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel and Microsoft Ads and 2 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.
19 cookies set on arrival
19Opening the homepage sets 19 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).
