Speed
Improve image delivery
2.3 s · 1.0 MB9 images could be 1.0 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.3 s faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 5.8 s
A phone's processor spends 5.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 913 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Reduce unused JavaScript
900 ms · 366 KiBAbout 366 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
700 ms · 358 KiB14 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (358 KiB).
Mobile performance score: 70
70/100Your mobile performance score is 70. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
7 third-party services on the page
7 third-party services load with your homepage (Affirm, Accessibe Accessibility Overlay and Shopify and others), adding 1.4 MB and 352 ms of main-thread time.
Render-blocking requests
450 ms3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.
1,967 HTML elements
The page has 1,967 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Shopify adds 81 ms
81 msShopify costs a phone 81 ms of main-thread work and 569 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 · 47 KiBAbout 47 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.
2 long tasks on the main thread
2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 116 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
25 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 25 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.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.
Minify CSS
4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Core Web Vitals

Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.7 MB in 403 requests
4.7 MBYour homepage downloads 4.7 MB in 403 requests on a phone: images 2.0 MB (17), scripts 1.3 MB (147) and other files 1.1 MB (220). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
aire-160dd-banner-mobile-2.jpg is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
2 images below the first screen load straight away
2 images further down the page (101 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.3 g of CO₂ per visit
1.34 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.34 g of CO₂e: 160.5 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
ARIA attributes must conform to valid values (1 element)
ARIA attributes must conform to valid values: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.
5 tap targets too small
5 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
2 text elements with low contrast
2 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
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.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (1 element)
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (2 elements).
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 36 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
49 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 56 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 passed and 7 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Meta description is long (191 characters)
Your meta description is 191 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
No favicon declared
No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.
1 link with vague text
1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.
337 internal links, 10 external

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.
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 (1,296 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Certificate issuers are restricted

Registered until Mar 2028
aire.com is registered until Mar 2028.
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.
No analytics detected

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 in place (~all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 ip4:160.3.3.232 ip4:104.238.134.28 ip4:64.88.171.195 ip4:67.133.172.170 include:_spf.google.com include:spf.prot…”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”, “selector2” and “k2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
