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
Render-blocking requests
1.3 s13 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.3 s.
Improve image delivery
300 ms · 14.7 MB12 images could be 14.7 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
200 ms · 1.5 MB27 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.5 MB).
Mobile performance score: 50
50/100Your mobile performance score is 50 (desktop: 51). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
450 ms · 135 KiBAbout 135 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Google Tag Manager adds 207 ms
207 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 207 ms of main-thread work and 301 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.
Cloudflare CDN adds 95 ms
95 msCloudflare CDN costs a phone 95 ms of main-thread work and 416 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.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Cloudflare CDN and Clarity and others), adding 816 KiB and 406 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 52 KiBAbout 52 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.
Minify JavaScript
150 ms · 42 KiB42 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Duplicated JavaScript
150 ms · 5 KiB5 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
4 long tasks on the main thread
4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 92 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
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.
Minify CSS
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 0.9 s
A phone's processor spends 0.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 507 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 1 ms
1 msYour server sent the HTML in 1 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: 5.2 s
5.2 sReal visitors wait 5.2 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.
Real-user TTFB: 4.5 s
4.5 sReal visitors wait 4.5 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
Largest Contentful Paint: 7.3 s
7.3 sYour largest element takes 7.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “QUICK ORDER PAD If you know the product codes already, simp…”. Most of its time is resource load delay (4.8 s).
Speed Index: 9.5 s
9.5 sVisually, the page fills in at 9.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
First Contentful Paint: 3.6 s
3.6 sThe first text or image appears after 3.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Time to Interactive: 8.9 s
8.9 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 8.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Real-user CLS: 0.13
0.13For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.13 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.216
0.216The layout shifts by 0.216 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
13 images without width and height
13 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
+4%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-10, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 79 ms to 81 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Largest content (LCP) got 38% faster for real visitors
-38%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-10, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 6.4 s to 4.6 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Total Blocking Time: 74 ms
74 msScripts block the page for only 74 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 15.9 MB in 65 requests
15.9 MBYour homepage downloads 15.9 MB in 65 requests on a phone: images 15.0 MB (21), scripts 510 KiB (20) and fonts 274 KiB (3). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image over 500 KB
niceic banner (5).png weighs 14.2 MB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
1 image far larger than shown
13.7 MB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example niceic banner (5).png at 6,000 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 13.7 MB.
5 images in older formats
5 images (14.7 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 (476 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 4.5 g of CO₂ per visit
4.50 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 4.50 g of CO₂e: 540.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
Invalid ARIA attributes
1 element use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.
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.

ARIA attributes must conform to valid values: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.
Hidden but focusable
4 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
Positive tabindex
2 elements have a tabindex above 0, which scrambles the keyboard order.
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.
ARIA toggle fields must have an accessible name (1 element)
ARIA toggle fields must have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
Interactive controls must not be nested (1 element)
Interactive controls must not be nested: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
5 images without alt text

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.
8 form fields without a label
8 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
2 links without text
2 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Users should be able to zoom and scale the text up to 500% (1 element)
Users should be able to zoom and scale the text up to 500%: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Elements marked as presentational should be consistently ignored (1 element)

45 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 59 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 14 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No meta description
No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
Title is short (26 characters)
Your title is only 26 characters: “Airflow Developments Group”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
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 XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at https://www.airflow.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.
61 internal links, 8 external
The homepage links to 61 pages on airflow.com and 8 external pages.
2 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.airflow.com/.
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.
Opted out of AI training for 1 crawler
robots.txt blocks GPTBot, which collect pages to train models. That's a legitimate choice and doesn't by itself stop the site appearing in AI answers, which the crawlers above handle.
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 (364 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
10 pages without a meta description
/sectors, /training-services/air-academy, /niceic, /useful-links/selection-software, /quietairblackeditionhalopage and /sectors/commercial and 4 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
3 pages without an H1
/sectors, /training-services/air-academy and /useful-links/selection-software have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
1 page with very little text
/help/contact 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.
10 pages slow to respond
/sectors, /training-services/air-academy, /niceic, /useful-links/selection-software, /quietairblackeditionhalopage and /sectors/commercial and 4 others took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 42 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
5 checks passed
Linked pages load
10 pages of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).
Canonical URLs point to themselves
No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.
Titles are unique
Every page we checked has its own title.
No linked page is hidden from search
None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.
Every page has a title
All 10 pages that loaded have a <title>.
Best practices
8 small tap targets
8 of 23 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
6 distorted images
6 images are displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so they look stretched or squashed.
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
http:// does not redirect
http://airflow.com does not redirect to https, so some visitors land on the insecure version.
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.
Short HSTS lifetime
HSTS is set, but max-age is 200 days; one year is the recommended minimum.
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.
4 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (airflow.com).
Valid certificate (152 days left)
The certificate from DigiCert Inc · GeoTrust TLS RSA CA G1 verifies for airflow.com and is valid for another 152 days.
HTTP/2
The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.
All 48 links work
All 48 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 8 external) answered without errors; 15 did not answer within 5 s.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
airflow.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
airflow.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 30 years old
30 yearsairflow.com was registered in Sep 1996 through Network Solutions, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Sep 2027
airflow.com is registered until Sep 2027.
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.
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 direct contact details
No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.
Only about 205 words
The homepage has only about 205 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
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.
3 checks passed
2 calls to action
The homepage has 2 calls to action, for example “Get In Touch” and “Contact Us”.
1 short form
A short form (0 fields at most) is right on the homepage.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics.
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.protection.outlook.com ip4:148.253.151.94 ip4:194.42.255.213 ip4:217.8.248.0/25 include:sendgrid.net…”.
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
4 trackers load before any consent
4Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Microsoft Clarity (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.
14 cookies set on arrival
14Opening the homepage sets 14 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.
15 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 15 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.
