atomic.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
5,048 HTML elements
The page has 5,048 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Mobile performance score: 65
65/100Your mobile performance score is 65 (desktop: 76). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
650 ms21 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 650 ms.
Main-thread work: 3.4 s
A phone's processor spends 3.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Optanon, Shopify and site.com and others), adding 468 KiB and 189 ms of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
100 ms · 126 KiB16 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (126 KiB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
219 KiBAbout 219 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Improve image delivery
100 ms · 33 KiB2 images could be 33 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 100 ms faster on a phone.
7 long tasks on the main thread
7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 121 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
110 ms · 11 KiBAbout 11 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 110 ms faster on a phone.
Duplicated JavaScript
16 KiB16 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.
Legacy JavaScript
9 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 9 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.

52 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 57 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 52 passed and 5 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

HTTP/2 and HTTP/3

atomic.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.
3 checks passed
Domain is 32 years old
32 yearsatomic.com was registered in May 1994 through Nameshield SAS. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Certificate issuers are restricted
CAA records allow only digicert.com, globalsign.com, pki.goog and ssl.com to issue certificates for atomic.com, so a mis-issued certificate from anyone else is refused.
Registered until May 2027
atomic.com is registered until May 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.
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.
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.
A 18-field form
Your longest form asks for 18 fields (4 required). Every extra field lowers completion.
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.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
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 705 words of copy
The homepage carries about 705 words of visible text.
3 checks passed

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.
3 checks passed
DMARC policy: reject
DMARC tells receivers to reject mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.
SPF with a strict ending (-all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 include:%{ir}.%{v}.%{d}.spf.has.pphosted.com include:%{l}._spf.%{d} -all exp=error._spf.amersports.com”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “k2”, “s1” and “s2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
