andersonsinc.com website review

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

Your mobile performance score is 48. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

About 224 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 910 ms faster on a phone.

7 images could be 1.0 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

About 81 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.

8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 463 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 402 ms of main-thread work and 181 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.

A phone's processor spends 2.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 803 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

3 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Adobe TypeKit and Google Analytics), adding 203 KiB and 402 ms of main-thread time.

21 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (222 KiB).

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

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

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.

The page becomes fully interactive after 24.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

The first text or image appears after 5.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

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

Your largest element takes 5.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “The Andersons uses "cookies" and similar technologies to co…”.

Real visitors see the first content after 2.3 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 466 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

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

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 94 ms to 97 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.8 s to 2.0 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 11.7 MB in 69 requests on a phone: media 6.6 MB (1), images 2.2 MB (24) and fonts 1.8 MB (36). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

13 images (2.2 MB) 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.

8 images further down the page (1.3 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.31 g of CO₂e: 396.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

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

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

Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (2 elements).

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

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

Your meta description is 514 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

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

No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

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

1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.

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

The homepage links to 69 pages on andersonsinc.com and 44 external pages.

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.

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.

/careers/employee-experience has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 24 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

3 of 9 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

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

X-XSS-Protection is set to “1”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.

There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

andersonsinc.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.

andersonsinc.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.

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 analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

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

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

The homepage carries about 688 words of visible text.

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.

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.

Opening the homepage sets 2 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

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.

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