Speed

3 to fix71
  • Mobile performance score: 71

    71/100

    Your mobile performance score is 71. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Render-blocking requests

    850 ms

    2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 850 ms.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    300 ms · 83 KiB

    About 83 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • 2 long tasks on the main thread

    2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 124 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Improve image delivery

    31 KiB

    2 images could be 31 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    13 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 13 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • 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.

  • 2 third-party services on the page

    2 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Fonts and Sentry), adding 32 KiB and 0 ms of main-thread time.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 556 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 32 ms

    32 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 32 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix73
  • Speed Index: 8.4 s

    8.4 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 8.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 5.4 s

    5.4 s

    Your largest element takes 5.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Protecting Your Home, Life & Business.”. Most of its time is element render delay (5.7 s).

  • Time to Interactive: 5.5 s

    5.5 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 5.5 s. Good is under 3.8 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.

  • 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

    0

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

  • Total Blocking Time: 37 ms

    37 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 37 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 9.2 MB in 52 requests

    9.2 MB

    Your homepage downloads 9.2 MB in 52 requests on a phone: media 8.6 MB (1), scripts 304 KiB (14) and images 174 KiB (16). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 2.6 g of CO₂ per visit

    2.62 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.62 g of CO₂e: 314.3 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

1 to fixGoogle 9498
  • 9 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 64 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 39 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 41 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 39 passed and 2 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

6 to fixGoogle 9180
  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • No canonical URL

    No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • No XML sitemap

    No XML sitemap at https://www.armsecuritysystems.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

  • No robots.txt

    There is no robots.txt at armsecuritysystems.com/robots.txt, the first file search crawlers ask for.

  • 1 link with vague text

    1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

  • 29 internal links, 11 external

    The homepage links to 29 pages on armsecuritysystems.com and 11 external pages.

3 checks passed
  • Meta description: 133 characters

    Your meta description is 133 characters: “Protecting homes and businesses in Maryland for 20+ years. Alarm systems, video monitoring, access control and smart ho…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Protecting Your Home,Life & Business.”.

  • Title: 56 characters

    Your title is a healthy 56 characters: “ARM Security Systems – Security & Alarm Systems Maryland”.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • AI answer engines may read the site

    There is no robots.txt, so nothing stops the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity from reading the site and cite it in answers.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,712 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

100
  • 10 internal pages checked

    We fetched 10 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

7 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 10 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 10 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 10 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 10093
  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    5 of 5 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

2 to fix83
  • http:// does not redirect

    http://armsecuritysystems.com does not redirect to https, so some visitors land on the insecure version.

  • No Content-Security-Policy

    No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • HTTP/1.1 only

    The server only offers HTTP/1.1, so browsers open several connections and load files more slowly. Most hosts and CDNs turn on HTTP/2 with a setting.

  • 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://g.page/r/CShytVEKa59gEBM/review.

  • 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.

4 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (armsecuritysystems.com).

  • Valid certificate (82 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE2 verifies for armsecuritysystems.com and is valid for another 82 days.

  • HSTS enabled

    Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.

  • All 19 links work

    All 19 links checked from your homepage (11 internal, 8 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    armsecuritysystems.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

    armsecuritysystems.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

    armsecuritysystems.com was registered in Feb 2000 through NameCheap, Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Feb 2027

    armsecuritysystems.com is registered until Feb 2027.

Content and conversion

3 to fix79
  • 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.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 1 customer or partner logo. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • No analytics detected

    No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

  • No opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • No form on the homepage

    There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

  • 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 1,658 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,658 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Free Quote” and “Get a Free Quote”.

  • 6 calls to action

    The homepage has 6 calls to action, for example “Free Quote”, “Contact Us” and “Get a Free Quote”.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 3 phone links and 0 email links.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.

Email authentication

2 to fix35
  • No SPF record

    armsecuritysystems.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 armsecuritysystems.com is still delivered. Add a report address, check the reports, then move to quarantine.

  • 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
  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “google”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

  • 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.

  • 3 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 3 hosts 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).
