Speed
Render-blocking requests
2.0 s8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.0 s.
Improve image delivery
950 ms · 645 KiB3 images could be 645 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 950 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
790 ms · 338 KiBAbout 338 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 790 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 65
65/100Your mobile performance score is 65. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Google Tag Manager adds 318 ms
318 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 318 ms of main-thread work and 640 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.
7 third-party services on the page
7 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Google CDN and Cloudflare CDN and others), adding 840 KiB and 354 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
160 ms · 12 KiBAbout 12 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 160 ms faster on a phone.
Minify JavaScript
160 ms · 5 KiB5 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
4 long tasks on the main thread
4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 130 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).
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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1 KiB8 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1 KiB).
2 checks passed

Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.2 MB in 52 requests
2.2 MBYour homepage downloads 2.2 MB in 52 requests on a phone: images 1.3 MB (27), scripts 689 KiB (10) and fonts 140 KiB (5). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
2 images in older formats
2 images (505 KiB) are 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.
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (262 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit
0.62 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.62 g of CO₂e: 73.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
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.
2 links without text
2 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 18 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
31 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 34 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 31 passed and 3 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
4 links with vague text
4 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
46 internal links, 20 external
The homepage links to 46 pages on austintitle.com and 20 external pages.
8 checks passed

Your meta description is 154 characters: “Austin Title is part of Fidelity National Financial (FNF), the nation's largest title insurer by volume. We have been p…”.
One H1 headline

Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.austintitle.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, LocalBusiness and WebPage.
Open Graph tags complete
Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.
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.austintitle.com/sitemaps-1-sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)
Your Organization JSON-LD is missing url, sameAs (social profiles) 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.
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 (281 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 page points its canonical at the homepage
/news-and-insights declares the homepage as its canonical URL, which tells Google it is a copy of the homepage and keeps it out of search results. A site-wide template setting usually causes this.
2 pages share a meta description
/services/commercial and /services/residential use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
1 page without an H1
/news-and-insights has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
2 pages with very little text
/contact and /news-and-insights 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.
3 pages slow to respond
/services/commercial, /services/residential and /about/our-team took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.
13 internal pages checked
We fetched 13 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

32 of 33 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

Security and trust
No HSTS header
No Strict-Transport-Security header, so browsers may still try plain http first on a return visit.
No X-Content-Type-Options
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.
1 link through redirect chains
1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://inhere.com/austintitle.

A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
http:// redirects to https

HTTP/2
The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.
All 25 links work
All 25 links checked from your homepage (15 internal, 10 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
austintitle.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
austintitle.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

Content and conversion
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.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 2 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
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 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

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 391 words of copy
The homepage carries about 391 words of visible text.
4 checks passed

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 -all”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”, “selector2” and “s1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
