Speed

3 to fix75
  • Mobile performance score: 75

    75/100

    Your mobile performance score is 75 (desktop: 95). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Avoid multiple page redirects

    754 ms

    The page goes through 1 redirect before it starts loading, costing about 754 ms. Link and advertise the final URL directly.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    600 ms · 110 KiB

    About 110 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

  • 1 long task on the main thread

    1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 127 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 0.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 234 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 1 ms

    1 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 1 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

2 to fix68
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.263

    0.263

    The layout shifts by 0.263 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 3.7 s

    3.7 s

    Your largest element takes 3.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s.

  • Not enough real-visitor data yet

    Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

4 checks passed
  • Time to Interactive: 3.7 s

    3.7 s

    The page is fully interactive after 3.7 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.5 s

    1.5 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.5 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Speed Index: 2.1 s

    2.1 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 2.1 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.

  • Total Blocking Time: 77 ms

    77 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 77 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

100
  • About 0.09 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.09 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.09 g of CO₂e: 11.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Page weight: 341 KiB in 25 requests

    341 KiB

    Your homepage downloads 341 KiB in 25 requests on a phone: scripts 242 KiB (4), fonts 65 KiB (2) and other files 23 KiB (14). That is a lean page.

Accessibility

6 to fixGoogle 8185
  • Documents must have <title> element to aid in navigation (1 element)

    Documents must have <title> element to aid in navigation: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (9 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 9 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • No main landmark

    The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

  • Zoom is disabled

    The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

  • 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.

  • No page language

    The <html> element has no lang attribute, so screen readers may read the page in the wrong voice and accent.

1 checks passed
  • 18 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 23 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 18 passed and 5 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

8 to fixGoogle 7351
  • No page title

    Your page has no <title>, so Google has to invent the blue link in search results.

  • 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.

  • 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 (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • Only 0 internal links

    The homepage links to only 0 pages on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.

  • No favicon declared

    No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

2 checks passed
  • 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.amerlic.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix83
  • 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.

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.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (1 KiB, 0 links, though it should open with a “# Title” line), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 9663
  • No mobile viewport

    No viewport meta tag, so phones render the desktop layout zoomed out.

  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “No element supplied to "Trustpilot.loadFromElement"”.

  • No character set

    No character set is declared, so some characters can render as gibberish.

1 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    7 of 8 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

Security and trust

3 to fix70
  • http:// does not redirect

    http://amerlic.com does not redirect to https, so some visitors land on the insecure version.

  • 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.

  • HTTP/1.1 only

    The server only offers HTTP/1.1, so browsers open several connections and load files more slowly. Most hosts and CDNs turn on HTTP/2 with a setting.

  • 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.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

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

  • Valid certificate (197 days left)

    The certificate from GoDaddy.com · GoDaddy TLS Intermediate CA DV - R1v1 verifies for amerlic.com and is valid for another 197 days.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    amerlic.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

    amerlic.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 28 years old

    28 years

    amerlic.com was registered in Apr 1998 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Apr 2029

    amerlic.com is registered until Apr 2029.

Content and conversion

6 to fix25
  • 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 calls to action

    We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.

  • 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

    No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

  • 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 67 words

    The homepage has only about 67 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • No form on the homepage

    There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

  • 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.

Email authentication

2 to fix65
  • SPF does not block other senders (no all)

    Your SPF record doesn't end in -all or ~all, so it doesn't stop other servers sending as you: “v=spf1 redirect=b42013ef._1.us.2._d.mim.ec”.

  • No DKIM key on the usual selectors

    We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.

  • Email authentication score: 65/100

    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.

1 checks passed
  • DMARC policy: quarantine

    DMARC tells receivers to quarantine mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.

Privacy and tracking

  • 9 cookies set on arrival

    9

    Opening the homepage sets 9 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.

  • 4 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 4 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • 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).

Upkeep, stack and company

No signs of neglect in what was checked: the copyright year, CMS and plugin versions, and jQuery.
