Speed
Improve image delivery
3.4 s · 2.8 MB12 images could be 2.8 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.4 s faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
4.4 s · 483 KiBAbout 483 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.4 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 57
57/100Your mobile performance score is 57. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
6 third-party services on the page
6 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Google Tag Manager and Other Google APIs/SDKs and others), adding 1.1 MB and 371 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 65 KiBAbout 65 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.
Google CDN adds 282 ms
282 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 282 ms of main-thread work and 742 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 2 KiB2 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (2 KiB).
Render-blocking requests
150 ms3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 150 ms.
7 long tasks on the main thread
7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 149 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
8 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 8 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.

Main-thread work: 1.7 s
A phone's processor spends 1.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.1 s of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 5 ms
5 msYour server sent the HTML in 5 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 22.4 s
22.4 sYour largest element takes 22.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Shop for Van Art The best way to buy beautiful, modern art.…”.
First Contentful Paint: 6.9 s
6.9 sThe first text or image appears after 6.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Time to Interactive: 22.7 s
22.7 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 22.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 8.0 s
8.0 sVisually, the page fills in at 8.0 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.
2 checks passed
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.057
0.057The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.057, good is under 0.1).
Total Blocking Time: 42 ms
42 msScripts block the page for only 42 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 6.4 MB in 55 requests
6.4 MBYour homepage downloads 6.4 MB in 55 requests on a phone: images 4.7 MB (16), scripts 1.0 MB (19) and other files 357 KiB (5). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image in older formats
1 image (54 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.
About 1.8 g of CO₂ per visit
1.81 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.81 g of CO₂e: 217.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
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
3 tap targets too small
3 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
2 text elements with low contrast
2 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Form elements should have a visible label (1 element)
Form elements should have a visible label: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (16 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 16 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.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)
Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
3 links without text
3 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
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 16 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
33 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 43 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 33 passed and 10 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
No favicon declared
No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.
58 internal links, 0 external
The homepage links to 58 pages on artvan.com and 0 external pages.
7 checks passed
Meta description: 128 characters
Your meta description is 128 characters: “At ArtVan.com we bring the best art and interior design ideas home to you. Check out the latest art inspirations [learn…”.

robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place.
XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.artvan.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
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
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 (220 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
9 pages without a meta description
/van-art, /nft-art, /van-gogh-art, /pure-sleep, /depression-art and /contact-us and 3 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 page without an H1
/blog has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

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
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.
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 (artvan.com).
Valid certificate (75 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE2 verifies for artvan.com and is valid for another 75 days.
http:// redirects to https
http://artvan.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 32 links work
All 32 links checked from your homepage (32 internal, 0 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
artvan.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
artvan.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 28 years old
28 yearsartvan.com was registered in Jul 1998 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Jul 2027
artvan.com is registered until Jul 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 direct contact details
No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.
Only about 167 words
The homepage has only about 167 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
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.
4 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Shop for Van Art” and “SHOP NOW”.
7 calls to action
The homepage has 7 calls to action, for example “Contact Us”, “Shop for Van Art” and “Shop Now”.
2 short forms
2 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Analytics.
Email authentication
No DMARC policy
artvan.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
artvan.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
artvan.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 (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.
