Speed

4 to fix94
  • Render-blocking requests

    750 ms

    2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 750 ms.

  • 2 third-party services on the page

    2 third-party services load with your homepage (Squarespace and Adobe TypeKit), adding 1.1 MB and 357 ms of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    444 KiB

    About 444 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Squarespace adds 354 ms

    354 ms

    Squarespace costs a phone 354 ms of main-thread work and 867 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.

  • 3 long tasks on the main thread

    3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 201 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    33 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 33 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    26 KiB

    About 26 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.

3 checks passed
  • Mobile performance score: 94

    94/100

    Your mobile performance score is 94. That is in Google's “good” band (90 and up).

  • Main-thread work: 0.8 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 413 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 14 ms

    14 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 14 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

2 to fix97
  • Time to Interactive: 7.3 s

    7.3 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 7.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 4.3 s

    4.3 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 4.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 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.

4 checks passed
  • First Contentful Paint: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.7 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Total Blocking Time: 164 ms

    164 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 164 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    Your largest element renders in 1.7 s on a phone, inside Google's 2.5 s “good” threshold. The largest element is the text “AP”.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

100
  • About 0.3 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.35 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.35 g of CO₂e: 41.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Page weight: 1.2 MB in 35 requests

    1.2 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.2 MB in 35 requests on a phone: scripts 862 KiB (19), fonts 223 KiB (6) and other files 118 KiB (4). That is a lean page.

Accessibility

2 to fixGoogle 9494
  • 4 text elements with low contrast

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (5 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 5 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

1 checks passed
  • 23 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 25 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 23 passed and 2 failed. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

6 to fixGoogle 9269
  • No meta description

    No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • Title is short (2 characters)

    Your title is only 2 characters: “AP”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • 2 H1 headlines

    There are 2 <h1> headlines (“Arod Productions” and “AP”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • Structured data has 1 problem

    Structured data found (LocalBusiness and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “LocalBusiness: missing name”.

  • No social preview image

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

  • Only 2 internal links

    The homepage links to only 2 pages on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.

3 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.arodproductions.com/.

  • 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://www.arodproductions.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix83
  • Organization data is thin (0 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing name, url, 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.

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

1 to fix95
  • 2 pages without a meta description

    /weddings-engagements and /weddings-contact have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 page with very little text

    /weddings-engagements has 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.

  • 2 internal pages checked

    We fetched 2 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 2 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

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

  • 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 2 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 10093
  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “%c%d font-size:0;color:transparent NaN”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    6 of 6 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

1 to fix92
  • 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.

  • Short HSTS lifetime

    HSTS is set, but max-age is 0 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

  • 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.

5 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

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

  • Valid certificate (82 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YR2 verifies for arodproductions.com and is valid for another 82 days.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://arodproductions.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2

    The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.

  • All 5 links work

    All 5 links checked from your homepage (2 internal, 3 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    arodproductions.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

    arodproductions.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 7 years old

    7 years

    arodproductions.com was registered in Nov 2019 through Tucows Domains Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Nov 2027

    arodproductions.com is registered until Nov 2027.

Content and conversion

4 to fix69
  • 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 phone number on the homepage

    A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.

  • No analytics detected

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

  • Only about 8 words

    The homepage has only about 8 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • 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.

  • Urgency cues

    The page uses urgency cues (a countdown or limited-time wording).

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “CONTACT”.

  • 1 call to action

    The homepage has 1 call to action, for example “Contact”.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 0 phone links and 1 email link.

  • 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

2 to fix0
  • No DMARC policy

    arodproductions.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 SPF record

    arodproductions.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.

  • 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.

  • Domain receives no email

    arodproductions.com has no MX record, so it receives no email. SPF -all and DMARC reject still matter: they stop others sending mail as you.

  • Email authentication score: 0/100

    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.

Privacy and tracking

  • 5 cookies set on arrival

    5

    Opening the homepage sets 5 cookies, 2 of them by other companies (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.

  • 6 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 6 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).
