alienmilling.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.

Speed

8 to fix55
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.1 s · 414 KiB

    About 414 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.1 s faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    1.6 s · 473 KiB

    8 images could be 473 KiB 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.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.4 s

    14 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 55

    55/100

    Your mobile performance score is 55. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (ZenDesk, Shopify and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 1.2 MB and 603 ms of main-thread time.

  • ZenDesk adds 204 ms

    204 ms

    ZenDesk costs a phone 204 ms of main-thread work and 395 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: 2.0 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 923 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 1,854 HTML elements

    The page has 1,854 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    200 ms · 84 KiB

    28 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (84 KiB).

  • 4 long tasks on the main thread

    4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 159 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    90 ms · 46 KiB

    About 46 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 90 ms faster on a phone.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • 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 JavaScript

    5 KiB

    5 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 7 ms

    7 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 7 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

10 to fix0
  • 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: 14.7 s

    14.7 s

    Your largest element takes 14.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Alien Zirconia Year End Promo”.

  • Time to Interactive: 15.6 s

    15.6 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 15.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Real-user LCP: 2.7 s

    2.7 s

    Real visitors wait 2.7 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.12

    0.12

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.12 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user TTFB: 904 ms

    904 ms

    Real visitors wait 904 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Speed Index: 5.3 s

    5.3 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.211

    0.211

    The layout shifts by 0.211 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.5 s

    2.5 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 26 images without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    -3%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 94 ms to 90 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -1%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.1 s to 2.1 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

2 checks passed
  • Real-user FCP: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.7 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 164 ms

    164 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 164 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

2 to fix75
  • Page weight: 2.8 MB in 175 requests

    2.8 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.8 MB in 175 requests on a phone: scripts 1.3 MB (104), images 733 KiB (22) and other files 474 KiB (24). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 4 images far larger than shown

    313 KiB

    4 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example slide_2.jpg at 1,823 px wide, shown at 360 px. Resized copies would save about 313 KiB.

  • About 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.80 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.80 g of CO₂e: 96.6 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 load when needed

    Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.

Accessibility

4 to fixGoogle 8794
  • Hidden but focusable

    2 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.

  • 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 (1 element)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (3 elements)

    Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h3, h2 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 22 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 46 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 51 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 5 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 10079
  • Title is long (70 characters)

    Your title is 70 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Alien Milling Technologies - Online Dental Milling Center and Services”.

  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • Meta description is long (172 characters)

    Your meta description is 172 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • One H1 headline

    Your <h1> is empty.

  • 211 internal links, 8 external

    The homepage links to 211 pages on alienmilling.com and 8 external pages.

4 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Open Graph tags complete

    Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.

  • 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.alienmilling.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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.

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.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (752 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 3 pages without a meta description

    /pages/trade-shows, /pages/customer-reviews and /apps/help-center have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 page without an H1

    /pages/how-to-send-a-case has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 87 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 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.

  • 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 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9684
  • 1 broken image

    1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=5117309&Ver=2&mid=adbee97b-6718-405b-9200-eb0ce893bb7f&bo=1&sid=fb22dea0db7811f196efdfe13d564aa5&vid=fb22ea40db7811f1a8e959971e66ae66&vids=1&msclkid=N&pi=918639831&lg=.

3 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    23 of 25 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

2 to fix81
  • 3 broken links to your own pages

    3 links from your homepage to your own site are broken, for example https://www.alienmilling.com/collections (network).

  • 1 broken external link

    1 link to other sites is dead, for example https://dlat.wildapricot.org/ (404).

  • Short HSTS lifetime

    HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

  • 2 links through redirect chains

    2 links go through two or more redirects, for example https://instagram.com/alien_milling.

  • 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.

6 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (alienmilling.com).

  • Valid certificate (46 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for alienmilling.com and is valid for another 46 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.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://alienmilling.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.

Domain and trust

  • DNSSEC is off

    alienmilling.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.

3 checks passed
  • Domain is 11 years old

    11 years

    alienmilling.com was registered in Jul 2015 through Tucows Domains Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Certificate issuers are restricted

    CAA records allow only ssl.com, digicert.com, globalsign.com and letsencrypt.org to issue certificates for alienmilling.com, so a mis-issued certificate from anyone else is refused.

  • Registered until Jul 2027

    alienmilling.com is registered until Jul 2027.

Content and conversion

3 to fix78
  • 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.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 17 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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 328 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 328 words of visible text.

  • Urgency cues

    The page uses urgency cues (a countdown or limited-time wording).

6 checks passed
  • 6 calls to action

    The homepage has 6 calls to action, for example “| Sign up!”, “Contact Us” and “Shop by Brand + -”.

  • 3 short forms

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

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics and Meta Pixel.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 0 email links.

  • Opening hours shown

    Your opening hours are on the homepage.

  • Phone number on the homepage

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

Email authentication

85
  • Email authentication score: 85/100

    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 in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com include:shops.shopify.com include:servers.mcsv.net include:mail.zendesk.com ~all”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “google” and “k2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 5 trackers load before any consent

    5

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel and Microsoft Ads (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.

  • 13 cookies set on arrival

    13

    Opening the homepage sets 13 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.

  • 33 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 33 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Apps on your store

Your storefront loads 8 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.

None of the apps your storefront loads is on the list of apps with a known security problem.
