Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Google CDN adds 1.6 s
1.6 sGoogle CDN costs a phone 1.6 s of main-thread work and 1.5 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.
Render-blocking requests
1.6 s17 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.6 s.
Mobile performance score: 40
40/100Your mobile performance score is 40. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 8.6 s
A phone's processor spends 8.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
4,456 HTML elements
The page has 4,456 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
12.7 MB15 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (12.7 MB).
Improve image delivery
12.5 MB3 images could be 12.5 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Hubspot and Cookiebot and others), adding 2.4 MB and 2.8 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.2 MBAbout 1.2 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Reduce unused CSS
750 ms · 46 KiBAbout 46 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.
Hubspot adds 456 ms
456 msHubspot costs a phone 456 ms of main-thread work and 404 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.
Cookiebot adds 378 ms
378 msCookiebot costs a phone 378 ms of main-thread work and 154 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.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 362 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Other Google APIs/SDKs adds 273 ms
273 msOther Google APIs/SDKs costs a phone 273 ms of main-thread work and 92 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.
Document request latency
219 KiBThe HTML itself could arrive sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.
Font display
100 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).
Minify JavaScript
21 KiB21 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
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.

Server response: 167 ms
167 msYour server sent the HTML in 167 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
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.
Real-user LCP: 5.1 s
5.1 sReal visitors wait 5.1 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.
Real-user FCP: 4.9 s
4.9 sReal visitors see the first content after 4.9 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
Time to Interactive: 21.4 s
21.4 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 21.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Total Blocking Time: 2.6 s
2.6 sScripts block taps and scrolling for 2.6 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
First Contentful Paint: 4.7 s
4.7 sThe first text or image appears after 4.7 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 4.7 s
4.7 sYour largest element takes 4.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “We use cookies to personalise content and ads, to provide s…”.
Speed Index: 6.4 s
6.4 sVisually, the page fills in at 6.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Real-user INP: 215 ms
215 msReal visitors wait 215 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.
Real-user TTFB: 1.7 s
1.7 sReal visitors wait 1.7 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
6 images without width and height
6 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) got 12% slower for real visitors
+12%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 105 ms to 120 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
-3%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.0 s to 2.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
2 checks passed
Real-user CLS: 0.00
0.00For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.032
0.032The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.032, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 17.0 MB in 93 requests
17.0 MBYour homepage downloads 17.0 MB in 93 requests on a phone: images 12.7 MB (17), scripts 2.7 MB (35) and other files 715 KiB (8). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image over 500 KB
untitled-1.jpg weighs 12.2 MB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
2 images far larger than shown
12.2 MB2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example untitled-1.jpg at 10,667 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 12.2 MB.
3 images in older formats
3 images (12.4 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.
About 4.8 g of CO₂ per visit
4.81 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 4.81 g of CO₂e: 576.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Accessibility
1 image without alt text
1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (10 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 10 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
4 links without text
4 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
1 tap target too small
1 tap target is too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h5, h2 → h5 and h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
37 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 40 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 37 passed and 3 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
No canonical URL
No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
No XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at https://agrigold.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
749 internal links, 8 external
The homepage links to 749 pages on agrigold.com and 8 external pages.
4 checks passed
Meta description: 105 characters
Your meta description is 105 characters: “High-performance corn and soybean genetics, backed by expert agronomic support and real-world yield data.”.
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “We believe progress in the field starts with seed — and the people who plant it.”.
Title: 62 characters
Your title is a healthy 62 characters: “The Leading Seed Company for Corn & Soybean Hybrids | Agrigold”.
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place.
AI search readiness
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 (3,328 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
2 pages share a title
/corn/performance/build-yield-book and /soybeans/performance/build-yield-book all use the title “Build Seed Portfolio”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
2 pages without a meta description
/corn/performance/build-yield-book and /soybeans/performance/build-yield-book have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
9 pages without an H1
/contact-us, /corn/explore-corn-hybrids, /corn/performance/corn-yield-results, /corn/performance/build-yield-book, /soybeans/explore-soybean-varieties and /soybeans/VoltisSeed and 3 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
1 page with very little text
/soybeans/VoltisSeed has under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.
1 page slow to respond
/corn/field-gx-genetics took over 3 s to send its HTML from our server.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 199 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
4 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.
No linked page is hidden from search
None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.
Every page has a title
All 14 pages that loaded have a <title>.
Best practices
3 JavaScript errors while loading
3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 ()”.
2 checks passed
Tap targets are thumb-sized
729 of 729 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
No HSTS header
No Strict-Transport-Security header, so browsers may still try plain http first on a return visit.
No Content-Security-Policy
No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
No clickjacking protection
Neither X-Frame-Options nor a CSP frame-ancestors policy is set, so any site can embed yours in a frame.
No X-Content-Type-Options
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.
2 links through redirect chains
2 links go through two or more redirects, for example https://agrigold.com/why-agrigold/GDMSeeds.
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.
No security.txt
There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.
5 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (agrigold.com).
Valid certificate (83 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YR2 verifies for agrigold.com and is valid for another 83 days.
http:// redirects to https
http://agrigold.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2
The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.
All 46 links work
All 46 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 6 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
Domain expires in 82 days
agrigold.com is registered until Jan 2027. Make sure auto-renew is on and the card on file is current.
No CAA record
agrigold.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
agrigold.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 28 years old
28 yearsagrigold.com was registered in Jan 1998 through Tucows Domains Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Content and conversion
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
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 form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
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 3,314 words of copy
The homepage carries about 3,314 words of visible text.
5 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “CONTACT US”.
3 calls to action

Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and HubSpot.
Direct contact links
Visitors can reach you directly: 0 phone links and 1 email link.
Phone number on the homepage
Your phone number is on the homepage.
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 A include:bmsend.com include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:spf.happyfox.com include:6811361.spf10.hubspotem…”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”, “selector2” and “s1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
13 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 13 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
2 checks passed
Consent tool: Cookiebot
A consent management tool (Cookiebot) loads with the page.
No known trackers before consent
No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).
