Speed

5 to fix82
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.2 s · 334 KiB

    3 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (334 KiB).

  • Improve image delivery

    1.1 s · 255 KiB

    1 image could be 255 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 82

    82/100

    Your mobile performance score is 82 (desktop: 100). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    450 ms · 93 KiB

    About 93 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.

  • Render-blocking requests

    300 ms

    1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 300 ms.

  • 2 third-party services on the page

    2 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics), adding 177 KiB and 208 ms of main-thread time.

  • 2 long tasks on the main thread

    2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 129 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 0.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 194 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

4 to fix77
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 3.9 s

    3.9 s

    Your largest element takes 3.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.126

    0.126

    The layout shifts by 0.126 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • Time to Interactive: 3.9 s

    3.9 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 3.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • 1 image without width and height

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

  • 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.

3 checks passed
  • Total Blocking Time: 127 ms

    127 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 127 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 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.

  • Speed Index: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 1.1 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.

Images and page weight

100
  • About 0.1 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.14 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.14 g of CO₂e: 17.0 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: 512 KiB in 6 requests

    512 KiB

    Your homepage downloads 512 KiB in 6 requests on a phone: images 285 KiB (1), scripts 222 KiB (2) and stylesheets 2 KiB (1). That is a lean page.

Accessibility

2 to fixGoogle 10089
  • No main landmark

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

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • 7 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 9 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 7 passed and 2 failed. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

7 to fixGoogle 10064
  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • Title is short (19 characters)

    Your title is only 19 characters: “Amuse Weed Delivery”. 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.

  • Meta description is short (37 characters)

    Your meta description is only 37 characters: “Thank you for being a friend of Amuse”. 70 to 160 characters is enough to sell the click.

  • No XML sitemap

    No XML sitemap at https://amuse.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

  • No robots.txt

    There is no robots.txt at amuse.com/robots.txt, the first file search crawlers ask for.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://amuse.com/.

  • Open Graph tags complete

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

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.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • AI answer engines may read the site

    There is no robots.txt, so nothing stops the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity from reading the site and cite it in answers.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 10092
  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_CERT_VERIFIER_CHANGED”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

2 to fix83
  • 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.

  • 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.

4 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

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

  • Valid certificate (96 days left)

    The certificate from Amazon · Amazon RSA 2048 M01 verifies for amuse.com and is valid for another 96 days.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://amuse.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2

    The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.

Domain and trust

  • DNSSEC is off

    amuse.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 31 years old

    31 years

    amuse.com was registered in Apr 1995 through Amazon Registrar, Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Certificate issuers are restricted

    CAA records allow only amazonaws.com to issue certificates for amuse.com, so a mis-issued certificate from anyone else is refused.

  • Registered until Apr 2033

    amuse.com is registered until Apr 2033.

Content and conversion

5 to fix33
  • 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 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 0 words

    The homepage has only about 0 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.

1 checks passed
  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics.

Email authentication

2 to fix60
  • DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be amuse.com is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.

  • 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: 60/100

    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
  • SPF in place (~all)

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

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 2 trackers load before any consent

    2

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

  • 2 cookies set on arrival

    2

    Opening the homepage sets 2 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.

  • 2 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 2 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
