Compare side by sideOne score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
5.3 s · 1.1 MBAbout 1.1 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 5.3 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
3.5 s59 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.5 s.
Mobile performance score: 39
39/100Your mobile performance score is 39. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
7 third-party services on the page
7 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, YouTube and Other Google APIs/SDKs and others), adding 2.1 MB and 1.3 s of main-thread time.
Google Tag Manager adds 675 ms
675 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 675 ms of main-thread work and 771 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.
YouTube adds 549 ms
549 msYouTube costs a phone 549 ms of main-thread work and 1,013 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.
Improve image delivery
578 KiB2 images could be 578 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Reduce unused CSS
330 ms · 121 KiBAbout 121 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 330 ms faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 3.8 s
A phone's processor spends 3.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.9 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
16 long tasks on the main thread
16 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 230 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
100 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).
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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
3 KiB2 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (3 KiB).

Server response: 39 ms
39 msYour server sent the HTML in 39 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
First Contentful Paint: 9.1 s
9.1 sThe first text or image appears after 9.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 21.6 s
21.6 sYour largest element takes 21.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “FREIGHT. WAREHOUSING. DISTRIBUTION. One Team. One Plan. One…”.
Time to Interactive: 23.2 s
23.2 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 23.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 10.5 s
10.5 sVisually, the page fills in at 10.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Total Blocking Time: 500 ms
500 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 500 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.129
0.129The layout shifts by 0.129 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
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.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.5 MB in 127 requests
4.5 MBYour homepage downloads 4.5 MB in 127 requests on a phone: scripts 2.1 MB (44), images 1.7 MB (13) and fonts 466 KiB (11). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 1.3 g of CO₂ per visit
1.27 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.27 g of CO₂e: 152.0 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
52 text elements with low contrast
52 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
2 links without text
2 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h3 → h5, h3 → h5 and h1 → h5), 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.
52 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 55 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 52 passed and 3 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
3 H1 headlines
There are 3 <h1> headlines (“WHAT WE OFFER”, “888-507-0767” and “CONTACT US”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
8 links with vague text
8 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
113 internal links, 11 external
The homepage links to 113 pages on armorfreight.com and 11 external pages.
7 checks passed
Meta description: 150 characters
Your meta description is 150 characters: “Direct freight shipping across the U.S. No terminals, no damage. Truckload, partial truckload, and expedited delivery s…”.
Title: 58 characters

Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://armorfreight.com/sitemap_index.xml.
AI search readiness
Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)
Your Organization JSON-LD is missing 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.
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.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,328 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (20 KiB, 69 links, though it should open with a “# Title” line), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
2 pages share a title
/allentown-warehousing and /warehouse-crossdock-quote all use the title “Allentown Warehousing & Cross-Docking Services”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

Best practices
5 third-party cookies
5 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.
1 small tap target
1 of 5 tappable elements near the top of the page is smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
2 JavaScript errors while loading
2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://accounts.google.com/gsi/style' from origin 'https://armorfreight.com' has been blo…”.
Browser-reported issues
Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
No HSTS header
No Strict-Transport-Security header, so browsers may still try plain http first on a return visit.
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.
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.
6 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (armorfreight.com).
Valid certificate (85 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YR2 verifies for armorfreight.com and is valid for another 85 days.
Content-Security-Policy set
A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
http:// redirects to https
http://armorfreight.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 46 links work
All 46 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 6 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
armorfreight.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
armorfreight.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

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 risk reducer

Opening hours shown
Your opening hours are on the homepage.
Phone number on the homepage

LocalBusiness structured data
Your homepage describes the business with LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants can read its address, hours and phone reliably.
Email authentication
No SPF record
armorfreight.com has no SPF record, so mail servers can't tell which servers may send email as you. Your mail lands in spam more often, and anyone can send mail pretending to be you.
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be armorfreight.com is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.
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.
