Speed

8 to fix59
  • 6 third-party services on the page

    6 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, nitrocdn.com and LinkedIn Ads and others), adding 2.0 MB and 1.3 s of main-thread time.

  • Mobile performance score: 59

    59/100

    Your mobile performance score is 59 (desktop: 93). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 688 ms

    688 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 688 ms of main-thread work and 514 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.

  • nitrocdn.com adds 529 ms

    529 ms

    nitrocdn.com costs a phone 529 ms of main-thread work and 1.5 MB 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 JavaScript

    298 KiB

    About 298 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • 7 long tasks on the main thread

    7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 287 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Main-thread work: 2.8 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 2,274 HTML elements

    The page has 2,274 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 43 KiB

    About 43 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.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    10 KiB

    2 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (10 KiB).

  • Phones get a much slower page than desktops

    Desktop scores 93 but mobile only 59. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 11 ms

    11 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 11 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix100
  • 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: 7.1 s

    7.1 s

    Your largest element takes 7.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Environmental scientist collecting water samples for analys…”.

  • Time to Interactive: 13.5 s

    13.5 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 13.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 642 ms

    642 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 642 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user TTFB: 860 ms

    860 ms

    Real visitors wait 860 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    -4%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 142 ms to 135 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

8 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 1.8 s

    1.8 s

    Real visitors wait 1.8 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 127 ms

    127 ms

    Real visitors wait 127 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.01

    0.01

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.01 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.2 s

    1.2 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.2 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 14% faster for real visitors

    -14%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.6 s to 1.4 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Speed Index: 2.9 s

    2.9 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 2.9 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.1 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.02

    0.02

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.02, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 2.1 MB in 55 requests

    2.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.1 MB in 55 requests on a phone: scripts 826 KiB (30), fonts 661 KiB (3) and images 574 KiB (6). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.61 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.61 g of CO₂e: 72.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 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.

  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

6 to fixGoogle 9093
  • 6 tap targets too small

    6 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (22 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 22 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.

  • 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.

  • The skip-link target should exist and be focusable (1 element)

    The skip-link target should exist and be focusable: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 5 links without text

    5 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h5 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 30 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 41 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 41 passed and 7 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 9294
  • Structured data has 1 problem

    Structured data found (Article, ImageObject, Organization and Person) but with 1 problem, for example “Organization: url points at a different host (https://amspec.wpengine.com)”.

  • 19 links with vague text

    19 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

  • 269 internal links, 4 external

    The homepage links to 269 pages on amspecgroup.com and 4 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 151 characters

    Your meta description is 151 characters: “AmSpec delivers expert TIC services worldwide — testing, inspection, and certification for energy, agri, chemicals, met…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Global testing, inspection, and certification services”.

  • Title: 59 characters

    Your title is a healthy 59 characters: “TIC Services | Testing, Inspection & Certification | AmSpec”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.amspecgroup.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.amspecgroup.com/sitemap_index.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

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

Other pages

100
  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 83 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

7 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.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 15 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • 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 10093
  • 7 small tap targets

    7 of 34 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

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

1 to fix94
  • No HSTS header

    No Strict-Transport-Security header, so browsers may still try plain http first on a return visit.

  • 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.

7 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

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

  • Valid certificate (35 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for amspecgroup.com and is valid for another 35 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://amspecgroup.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.

  • All 44 links work

    All 44 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 4 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    amspecgroup.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

    amspecgroup.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 14 years old

    14 years

    amspecgroup.com was registered in Aug 2012 through Wild West Domains, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Aug 2027

    amspecgroup.com is registered until Aug 2027.

Content and conversion

2 to fix88
  • 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: 1 trust badge. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • No opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • 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 594 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 594 words of visible text.

6 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Contact” and “Learn more”.

  • 18 calls to action

    The homepage has 18 calls to action, for example “Contact” and “Learn more”.

  • 2 short forms

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

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

  • Direct contact links

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

  • Phone number on the homepage

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

Email authentication

1 to fix80
  • 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: 80/100

    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.

2 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:dispatch-us.ppe-hosted.com include:spf.intermedia.net include:mailgun.org include:50279755.spf08.hubspotemail.…”.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 4 trackers load before any consent

    4

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and LinkedIn Insight (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.

  • 6 cookies set on arrival

    6

    Opening the homepage sets 6 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.

  • 10 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 10 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Upkeep, stack and company
