Speed
Render-blocking requests
2.9 s3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.9 s.
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.4 s · 242 KiBAbout 242 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.
Mobile performance score: 66
66/100Your mobile performance score is 66 (desktop: 78). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Improve image delivery
450 ms · 48 KiB1 image could be 48 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, website-files.com and cloudfront.net and others), adding 1.0 MB and 305 ms of main-thread time.
website-files.com adds 89 ms
89 mswebsite-files.com costs a phone 89 ms of main-thread work and 558 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.
4 long tasks on the main thread
4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 76 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
13 KiBAbout 13 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
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.

Main-thread work: 0.7 s
A phone's processor spends 0.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 325 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 2 ms
2 msYour server sent the HTML in 2 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 7.6 s
7.6 sYour largest element takes 7.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Ellen M. Bozman Government Center”.
First Contentful Paint: 3.7 s
3.7 sThe first text or image appears after 3.7 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Time to Interactive: 7.6 s
7.6 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 7.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 3.7 s
3.7 sVisually, the page fills in at 3.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
6 images without width and height
6 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
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.068
0.068The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.068, good is under 0.1).
Total Blocking Time: 51 ms
51 msScripts block the page for only 51 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
5c928d680c83e4193d7847f6_01_FCPS_Terraset-Elementary-School_ is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
4 images in older formats
4 images (246 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 0.3 g of CO₂ per visit
0.32 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.32 g of CO₂e: 39.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Page weight: 1.1 MB in 40 requests
1.1 MBYour homepage downloads 1.1 MB in 40 requests on a phone: scripts 540 KiB (11), images 492 KiB (19) and fonts 114 KiB (3). That is a lean page.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
Input buttons must have discernible text (1 element)
Input buttons must have discernible text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (3 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 3 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.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 16 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
37 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 40 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 37 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
Title is short (25 characters)
Your title is only 25 characters: “Architecture Incorporated”. 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.
5 H1 headlines
There are 5 <h1> headlines (“Ellen M. Bozman Government Center”, “Arlo Washington DC” and “Monumental Sports & Entertainment - The Loft”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Meta description is long (298 characters)
Your meta description is 298 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
14 internal links, 7 external
The homepage links to 14 pages on archinc.com and 7 external pages.
3 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.archinc.com/.
robots.txt in place

XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.archinc.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
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
Your robots.txt lets the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity read the site and cite it in answers.
Other pages
5 pages with very little text
/about, /markets/menu, /brochures, /on-the-boards and /contact-us have 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.

Security and trust
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.
8 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (archinc.com).
Valid certificate (75 days left)
The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for archinc.com and is valid for another 75 days.
Protected from clickjacking
X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.
Content-Security-Policy set
A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
HSTS enabled
Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.
http:// redirects to https
http://archinc.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2 and HTTP/3
The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.
All 21 links work
All 21 links checked from your homepage (14 internal, 7 external) answered without errors; 1 did not answer within 5 s.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
archinc.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
archinc.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 30 years old
30 yearsarchinc.com was registered in May 1996 through Network Solutions, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until May 2030
archinc.com is registered until May 2030.
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.
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 35 words
The homepage has only about 35 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
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.
3 checks passed
1 call to action
The homepage has 1 call to action, for example “contact”.
1 short form
A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Analytics and Fathom.
Email authentication
No DMARC policy
archinc.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.
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: 35/100
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 a mx ptr ~all”.
Privacy and tracking
2 trackers load before any consent
2Before 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.
3 cookies set on arrival
3Opening the homepage sets 3 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.
9 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 9 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
