Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.3 s · 2.5 MB65 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (2.5 MB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.1 s · 1.8 MBAbout 1.8 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 14.8 s
A phone's processor spends 14.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 10.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Quantum Metric adds 1.2 s
1.2 sQuantum Metric costs a phone 1.2 s of main-thread work and 199 KiB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
Mobile performance score: 38
38/100Your mobile performance score is 38 (desktop: 62). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Quantum Metric, Facebook and mPulse and others), adding 758 KiB and 1.9 s of main-thread time.
Render-blocking requests
950 ms3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 950 ms.
Improve image delivery
650 ms · 152 KiB3 images could be 152 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 650 ms faster on a phone.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 688 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Minify JavaScript
493 KiB493 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
1,580 HTML elements
The page has 1,580 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 70 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 70 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
175 KiBAbout 175 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Minify CSS
168 KiB168 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
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.

Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors
Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

Tap response (INP) got 30% slower for real visitors
+30%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 235 ms to 305 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
Page weight: 5.6 MB in 318 requests
5.6 MBYour homepage downloads 5.6 MB in 318 requests on a phone: scripts 4.6 MB (99), HTML 365 KiB (7) and images 267 KiB (49). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 1.6 g of CO₂ per visit
1.58 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.58 g of CO₂e: 190.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
All page content should be contained by landmarks (3 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 3 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.
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.
SVG elements with an img role do not have an accessible text alternative
SVG elements with an img role do not have an accessible text alternative (1 element).
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (7 elements).

Every image has alt text
All 3 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
38 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: 38 passed and 3 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No favicon declared
No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.
2 links crawlers can't follow
2 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
Open Graph partly set
Open Graph is missing og:title and og:description, so shared links fall back to guesses.
10 internal links, 1 external
The homepage links to 10 pages on att.com and 1 external page.
7 checks passed
Meta description: 147 characters
Your meta description is 147 characters: “Get our best deals on phones and internet, backed by the AT&T Guarantee. Shop the latest devices, get 24/7 support, and…”.
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “AT&T Official Site | Our Best Wireless & Internet Service”.
Title: 57 characters
Your title is a healthy 57 characters: “AT&T Official Site | Our Best Wireless & Internet Service”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.att.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, ItemList, Organization and WebPage.
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.att.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
3 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.
Organization data: 5 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles) and description; contact details would complete it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (13 KiB, 72 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
1 page without a title
/buy/phones has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.
2 pages without a meta description
/buy/phones and /buy/wearables/browse/apple have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
3 pages without an H1
/buy/phones, /buy/phones/apple-iphone-18-pro.html and /buy/phones/apple-iphone-18-pro-max.html have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
5 pages with very little text
/stores, /buy/phones, /buy/phones/apple-iphone-18-pro.html, /buy/phones/apple-iphone-18-pro-max.html and /buy/phones/apple-iphone-duo.html have 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.
7 internal pages checked
We fetched 7 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.
4 checks passed
Linked pages load
All 7 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.
No linked page is hidden from search
None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.
Best practices
15 small tap targets
15 of 35 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
4 third-party cookies
4 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.
Deprecated browser APIs
The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).
4 JavaScript errors while loading
4 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'controller')”.
Browser-reported issues
Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).
Missing source maps
Large scripts ship without source maps.
1 checks passed
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.
Short HSTS lifetime
HSTS is set, but max-age is 182 days; one year is the recommended minimum.
No Permissions-Policy
No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.
Deprecated X-XSS-Protection
X-XSS-Protection is set to “0; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.
No security.txt
There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.
6 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (att.com).
Valid certificate (186 days left)
The certificate from DigiCert Inc · DigiCert Global G2 TLS RSA SHA256 2020 CA1 verifies for att.com and is valid for another 186 days.
Protected from clickjacking
X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.
http:// redirects to https
http://att.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2
The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.
All 11 links work
All 11 links checked from your homepage (10 internal, 1 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
att.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
att.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 40 years old
40 yearsatt.com was registered in Apr 1986 through CSC Corporate Domains, Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Apr 2027
att.com is registered until Apr 2027.
Content and conversion
No call to action on the first screen
On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.
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 analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
Only about 88 words
The homepage has only about 88 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 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.
4 checks passed
8 calls to action
The homepage has 8 calls to action, for example “Shop”, “Shop phones” and “ORDER NOW844-249-5043”.
2 short forms
2 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.
Direct contact links
Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 0 email links.
Phone number on the homepage
Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.
Email authentication
Email authentication score: 95/100
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.
3 checks passed
DMARC policy: reject
DMARC tells receivers to reject mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.
SPF in place (~all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:%{ir}.%{v}.%{d}.spf.has.pphosted.com ~all”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “s1” and “s2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
7 trackers load before any consent
7Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Amazon Ads, Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Meta Pixel and 2 mores (measured from a US location before any click). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.
48 cookies set on arrival
48Opening the homepage sets 48 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.
35 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 35 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
