Speed

12 to fix59
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.4 s · 1.0 MB

    About 1.0 MB 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.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.2 s

    5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.2 s.

  • Main-thread work: 5.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 5.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 4,509 HTML elements

    The page has 4,509 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Google Tag Manager and heatmap.com and others), adding 35.0 MB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.

  • Shopify adds 291 ms

    291 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 291 ms of main-thread work and 33.9 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.

  • Improve image delivery

    650 ms · 878 KiB

    12 images could be 878 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 650 ms faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 59

    59/100

    Your mobile performance score is 59. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    517 KiB

    28 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (517 KiB).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    300 ms · 120 KiB

    About 120 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 209 ms

    209 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 209 ms of main-thread work and 320 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.

  • octaneai.com adds 152 ms

    152 ms

    octaneai.com costs a phone 152 ms of main-thread work and 304 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.

  • 11 long tasks on the main thread

    11 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 122 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    50 ms

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

  • Legacy JavaScript

    33 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 33 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Minify CSS

    6 KiB

    6 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • 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: 17 ms

    17 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 17 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

9 to fix33

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.4 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 39.0 MB in 422 requests

    39.0 MB

    Your homepage downloads 39.0 MB in 422 requests on a phone: media 33.3 MB (18), images 2.3 MB (45) and scripts 2.1 MB (182). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 11.1 g of CO₂ per visit

    11.07 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 11.07 g of CO₂e: 1328.0 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

3 to fixGoogle 10096
  • 3 text elements with low contrast

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (4 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (2 elements)

    Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h4, h1 → h3 and h1 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 137 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 49 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 passed and 3 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 9293
  • 4 H1 headlines

    There are 4 <h1> headlines (“Aquor Water Systems Aquor Water Systems”, “Aquor Water Systems Aquor Water Systems” and “Crafted for durability, our hydrants solve your l…”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

    The homepage links to 287 pages on aquorwatersystems.com and 10 external pages.

7 checks passed

AI search readiness

100
4 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: 5 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles) and contact details; description would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (2,114 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

1 to fix98

100
  • Short HSTS lifetime

    All 50 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 10 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • DNSSEC is off

    aquorwatersystems.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

Email authentication

85
  • Email authentication score: 85/100

    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.

3 checks passed
  • DMARC policy: quarantine

    DMARC tells receivers to quarantine mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.

  • SPF in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 a mx include:sendgrid.net include:_spf.google.com include:spf.mandrillapp.com ~all”.
