Speed

4 to fix89
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.3 s

    13 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.3 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 89

    89/100

    Your mobile performance score is 89. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Improve image delivery

    650 ms · 156 KiB

    5 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 KiB

    About 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 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix90
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 3.3 s

    3.3 s

    Your 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 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 3.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.8 s

    1.8 s

    The 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 s

    The page is fully interactive after 3.3 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

  • Total Blocking Time: 0 ms

    0 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

100
  • 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 g

    By 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 KiB

    Your 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

5 to fixGoogle 9092
  • 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

3 to fixGoogle 9293
  • 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

1 to fix88
  • 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

2 to fix93
  • 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.

  • 15 internal pages checked

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

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 15 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9691
  • 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

3 to fix71
  • 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 years

    armitelabs.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

3 to fix75
  • 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
  • 4 calls to action

    The homepage has 4 calls to action, for example “Contact” and “Contact Us”.

  • 2 short forms

    2 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 4 customer or partner logos and 1 trust badge.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage.

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.

  • 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.

Privacy and tracking

  • 1 cookie set on arrival

    1

    Opening the homepage sets 1 cookie (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.

  • 1 other company contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 1 host run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • No known trackers before consent

    No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).
