Speed

12 to fix53
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    6.6 s · 1.4 MB

    About 1.4 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 6.6 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.9 s · 573 KiB

    35 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (573 KiB).

  • Render-blocking requests

    2.1 s

    13 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.1 s.

  • Improve image delivery

    1.4 s · 360 KiB

    6 images could be 360 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.4 s faster on a phone.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (YouTube, mapme.com and Weebly and others), adding 2.8 MB and 945 ms of main-thread time.

  • Mobile performance score: 53

    53/100

    Your mobile performance score is 53 (desktop: 65). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Minify JavaScript

    600 ms · 91 KiB

    91 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    450 ms · 148 KiB

    About 148 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • YouTube adds 330 ms

    330 ms

    YouTube costs a phone 330 ms of main-thread work and 965 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.

  • mapme.com adds 284 ms

    284 ms

    mapme.com costs a phone 284 ms of main-thread work and 1.1 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.

  • Weebly adds 219 ms

    219 ms

    Weebly costs a phone 219 ms of main-thread work and 489 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: 2.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 20 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 20 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 11 long tasks on the main thread

    11 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 157 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.

  • 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: 7 ms

    7 ms

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

Core Web Vitals

8 to fix33
  • 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 CLS: 0.68

    0.68

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.68 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • First Contentful Paint: 10.5 s

    10.5 s

    The first text or image appears after 10.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 20.9 s

    20.9 s

    Your largest element takes 20.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “ANDERSON COLUMBIA CO., INC. THE PREFERRED HEAVY CIVIL CONTR…”.

  • Time to Interactive: 22.5 s

    22.5 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 22.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 10.5 s

    10.5 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 10.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Real-user INP: 262 ms

    262 ms

    Real visitors wait 262 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • 8 images without width and height

    8 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 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 153 ms to 144 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 10% slower for real visitors

    +10%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.2 s to 1.3 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

5 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    Real visitors wait 1.4 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.3 s

    1.3 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.3 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 548 ms

    548 ms

    Real visitors wait 548 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Total Blocking Time: 178 ms

    178 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 178 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

2 to fix63
  • Page weight: 4.5 MB in 98 requests

    4.5 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.5 MB in 98 requests on a phone: scripts 2.7 MB (31), images 1.4 MB (28) and stylesheets 132 KiB (11). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 5 images below the first screen load straight away

    5 images further down the page (436 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • 5 images in older formats

    5 images (436 KiB) 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.

  • About 1.3 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.27 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.27 g of CO₂e: 152.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images are sized for phones

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

Accessibility

7 to fixGoogle 8585
  • 16 text elements with low contrast

    16 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • 4 tap targets too small

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

  • Frames without titles

    2 frames have no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what they contain.

  • Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)

    Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (42 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 42 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.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 8 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 28 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 35 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 28 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

6 to fixGoogle 10068
  • No H1 headline

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

  • Title is short (27 characters)

    Your title is only 27 characters: “Anderson Columbia Co., Inc.”. 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 canonical URL

    No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.

  • Meta description is long (224 characters)

    Your meta description is 224 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 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 set, so this is minor.

  • 71 internal links, 4 external

    The homepage links to 71 pages on andersoncolumbia.com and 4 external pages.

3 checks passed
  • 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 http://www.andersoncolumbia.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.

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

Other pages

3 to fix83
  • 6 pages share 3 titles

    /a-mining-group.html and /a-mining-group1.html all use the title “A Mining Group”, and 2 other titles repeat too. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 15 pages without a meta description

    /florida.html, /acci-florida-division.html, /junction-city-mining.html, /a-mining-group.html, /asphalt-technologies.html and /corridor-mining.html and 9 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 15 pages without an H1

    /florida.html, /acci-florida-division.html, /junction-city-mining.html, /a-mining-group.html, /asphalt-technologies.html and /corridor-mining.html and 9 others have 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 26 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

4 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.

  • 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

2 to fixGoogle 6991
  • 7 third-party cookies

    7 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()”.

  • 1 low-resolution image

    1 image is served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    31 of 31 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

4 to fix64
  • 1 broken link to your own pages

    1 link from your homepage to your own site is broken, for example https://www.andersoncolumbia.com/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection (404).

  • http:// does not redirect

    http://andersoncolumbia.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.

  • 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.

3 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

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

  • Valid certificate (33 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for andersoncolumbia.com and is valid for another 33 days.

  • HTTP/2

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

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    andersoncolumbia.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

    andersoncolumbia.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

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

  • Registered until Aug 2033

    andersoncolumbia.com is registered until Aug 2033.

Content and conversion

2 to fix75
  • 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.

  • No form on the homepage

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

  • About 322 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 322 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “JOIN OUR TEAM” and “CONTACT US”.

  • 5 calls to action

    The homepage has 5 calls to action, for example “Join Our Team” and “Contact Us”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics.

  • Risk reducer mentioned

    A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.

Email authentication

1 to fix50
  • No DMARC policy

    andersoncolumbia.com has no DMARC record, so nothing tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF or DKIM. Gmail and Yahoo require DMARC from bulk senders.

  • Email authentication score: 50/100

    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
  • SPF with a strict ending (-all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 ip4:20.232.112.53 include:spf.protection.outlook.com -all”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1” and “selector2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, 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.

  • 6 cookies set on arrival

    6

    Opening the homepage sets 6 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (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.

  • 20 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 20 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Upkeep, stack and company

  • The footer still says © 2022.
  • It loads jQuery 1.8.3, older than 3.5 (which fixed known security holes).
