Speed
Render-blocking requests
1.3 s13 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.3 s.
Mobile performance score: 89
89/100Your mobile performance score is 89. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Improve image delivery
650 ms · 156 KiB5 images could be 156 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.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 64 KiBAbout 64 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.
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.
1 third-party service on the page
1 third-party service load with your homepage (Google Fonts), adding 1 KiB and 0 ms of main-thread time.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 0.2 s
A phone's processor spends 0.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 29 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 4 ms
4 msYour server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 3.3 s
3.3 sYour largest element takes 3.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “The highest quality commercial, industrial, and military gr…”. Most of its time is element render delay (2.0 s).
Speed Index: 3.9 s
3.9 sVisually, the page fills in at 3.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
First Contentful Paint: 1.8 s
1.8 sThe first text or image appears after 1.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
3 images without width and height
3 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.
3 checks passed
Time to Interactive: 3.3 s
3.3 sThe page is fully interactive after 3.3 s.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Total Blocking Time: 0 ms
0 msScripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
1 image in older formats
1 image (31 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 (31 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.1 g of CO₂ per visit
0.13 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.13 g of CO₂e: 15.9 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: 478 KiB in 26 requests
478 KiBYour homepage downloads 478 KiB in 26 requests on a phone: images 347 KiB (10), stylesheets 99 KiB (13) and HTML 24 KiB (1). 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
Links look like plain text
4 links inside paragraphs rely on colour alone to stand out.
Malformed lists
Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (6 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 6 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.
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (1 element)
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 10 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
40 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 46 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 40 passed and 6 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
No favicon declared
No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.
4 links with vague text
4 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
108 internal links, 1 external
The homepage links to 108 pages on armite.com and 1 external page.
7 checks passed
Meta description: 142 characters
Your meta description is 142 characters: “Since 1928, we have manufactured the highest quality industrial lubricants, anti-seize and other specialty compounds. W…”.
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “The highest quality commercial, industrial, and military grade lubricants and anti-seize compounds.”.
Title: 62 characters
Your title is a healthy 62 characters: “Armite Lubricants: Industrial Lubricants & Specialty Compounds”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://armitelabs.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: Organization, WebPage and WebSite.
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.
XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://armitelabs.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
Organization data is thin (2 of 6 facts)
Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.
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 (1,160 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
12 links to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 12 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example //product/12-34-miracle-formula, whose canonical is /product/12-34-miracle-formula. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
2 pages share a meta description
//product/lp-250 and //product/lp-250f use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

Best practices
2 small tap targets
2 of 9 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
2 distorted images
2 images are displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so they look stretched or squashed.
2 checks passed
No console errors
No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
1 broken link to your own pages
1 link from your homepage to your own site is broken, for example https://armitelabs.com/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection (404).
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.
1 link through redirect chains
1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://armitelabs.com//product/2002-all-purpose-oil/.
No Referrer-Policy
No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.
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 (armitelabs.com).
Valid certificate (62 days left)
The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for armite.com and is valid for another 62 days.
http:// redirects to https
http://armite.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.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
armitelabs.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
armitelabs.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 26 years old
26 yearsarmitelabs.com was registered in Jun 2000 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Jun 2027
armitelabs.com is registered until Jun 2027.
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.
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 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 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 459 words of copy
The homepage carries about 459 words of visible text.
5 checks passed

3 checks passed
DMARC policy: quarantine
DMARC tells receivers to quarantine mail that fails authentication.
SPF in place (~all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 ip4:35.238.14.163 ip4:50.253.122.173 ip4:168.220.117.133 ip4:73.181.106.118 ip4:54.188.148.71 include:sendgrid.n…”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”, “selector2” and “k2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
