Speed
Render-blocking requests
750 ms2 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 KiBAbout 444 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Squarespace adds 354 ms
354 msSquarespace 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 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 33 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Reduce unused CSS
26 KiBAbout 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.

Mobile performance score: 94
94/100Your 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 msYour server sent the HTML in 14 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Time to Interactive: 7.3 s
7.3 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 7.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 4.3 s
4.3 sVisually, 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 sThe first text or image appears after 1.7 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Total Blocking Time: 164 ms
164 msScripts block the page for only 164 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Largest Contentful Paint: 1.7 s
1.7 sYour 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
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
About 0.3 g of CO₂ per visit
0.35 gBy 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 MBYour 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
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
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
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
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

Best practices
2 JavaScript errors while loading

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
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 yearsarodproductions.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
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
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
5Opening 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).
