Speed
Improve image delivery
1.1 s · 1.1 MB6 images could be 1.1 MB 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.
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.4 s · 287 KiBAbout 287 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.4 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.1 s · 207 KiB7 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (207 KiB).
Render-blocking requests
1.1 s10 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.
Mobile performance score: 66
66/100Your mobile performance score is 66. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Google Tag Manager adds 219 ms
219 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 219 ms of main-thread work and 308 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.
Google Fonts adds 0 ms
0 msGoogle Fonts costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 411 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.
7 third-party services on the page
7 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Facebook and LinkedIn Ads and others), adding 969 KiB and 418 ms of main-thread time.
6 long tasks on the main thread
6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 155 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
73 KiBAbout 73 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
13 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 13 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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.
Minify JavaScript
2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Main-thread work: 1.4 s
A phone's processor spends 1.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 575 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 20 ms
20 msYour server sent the HTML in 20 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 13.4 s
13.4 sYour largest element takes 13.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “ANSWER MEDIA The Smarter Way to Scale Streaming Content You…”.
Time to Interactive: 13.5 s
13.5 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 13.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 5.4 s
5.4 sVisually, the page fills in at 5.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Total Blocking Time: 205 ms
205 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 205 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
2 images without width and height
2 images 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.
2 checks passed
First Contentful Paint: 1.7 s
1.7 sThe first text or image appears after 1.7 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.041
0.041The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.041, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.0 MB in 72 requests
4.0 MBYour homepage downloads 4.0 MB in 72 requests on a phone: images 2.6 MB (19), scripts 740 KiB (26) and fonts 501 KiB (13). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image in older formats
1 image (136 KiB) is 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.
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (28 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit
1.12 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.12 g of CO₂e: 134.5 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
5 tap targets too small
5 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
1 text element with low contrast
1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (45 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 45 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.
13 links without text
13 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3, h2 → h4 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.
26 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 33 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 26 passed and 7 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No meta description
No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.
6 links with vague text
6 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
27 internal links, 9 external
The homepage links to 27 pages on answermedia.com and 9 external pages.
7 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “ANSWER MEDIA”.
Title: 31 characters
Your title is a healthy 31 characters: “Agency-Things - answermedia.com”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://answermedia.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, ImageObject, Organization, WebPage and WebSite.
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.
XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://answermedia.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
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.
3 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.
Organization data: 4 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (812 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 page points its canonical at the homepage
/agency-things declares the homepage as its canonical URL, which tells Google it is a copy of the homepage and keeps it out of search results. A site-wide template setting usually causes this.
2 pages share a title
/ and /agency-things all use the title “Agency-Things - answermedia.com”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
8 pages without a meta description
/agency-things, /contact, /project/ecommerce, /project/development, /project/creative and /project/influencer and 2 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 page with very little text
/contact has under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.
8 internal pages checked

Security and trust
8 broken external links
8 links to other sites are dead, for example https://www.linkedin.com/in/breannezapien (999).
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 Permissions-Policy
No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.
Deprecated X-XSS-Protection
X-XSS-Protection is set to “1”; 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.
4 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (answermedia.com).
Valid certificate (78 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YR2 verifies for answermedia.com and is valid for another 78 days.
http:// redirects to https
http://answermedia.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2
The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
answermedia.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
answermedia.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 23 years old
23 yearsanswermedia.com was registered in May 2003 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until May 2028
answermedia.com is registered until May 2028.
Content and conversion
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 social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
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.
No phone number on the homepage
A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.
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 opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
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 695 words of copy
The homepage carries about 695 words of visible text.
2 checks passed
8 calls to action
The homepage has 8 calls to action, for example “LEARN MORE”, “GET STARTED” and “Contact”.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Analytics, Meta Pixel and LinkedIn Insight.
Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be answermedia.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:_spf.google.com ~all”.
Privacy and tracking
5 trackers load before any consent
5Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, LinkedIn Insight and Meta Pixel (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.
7 cookies set on arrival
7Opening the homepage sets 7 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.
13 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 13 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
Upkeep, stack and company
