Speed

5 to fix65
  • Render-blocking requests

    2.0 s

    8 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 KiB

    3 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 KiB

    About 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

    65/100

    Your mobile performance score is 65. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 318 ms

    318 ms

    Google 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 KiB

    About 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 KiB

    5 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 ms

    Web 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 KiB

    8 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1 KiB).

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 0.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 319 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 2 ms

    2 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 2 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

7 to fix100
  • 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.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 8.7 s

    8.7 s

    Your largest element takes 8.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “THE FUTURE OF REAL ESTATE IS... Learn about our reimagined …”.

  • Time to Interactive: 8.7 s

    8.7 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 8.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    Real visitors wait 1.1 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.8 s

    2.8 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 5.2 s

    5.2 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 14 images without width and height

    14 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

6 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 2.0 s

    2.0 s

    Real visitors wait 2.0 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.7 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 19% faster for real visitors

    -19%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.1 s to 1.8 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.073

    0.073

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.073, good is under 0.1).

  • Total Blocking Time: 102 ms

    102 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 102 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

2 to fix75
  • Page weight: 2.2 MB in 52 requests

    2.2 MB

    Your 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 g

    By 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

3 to fixGoogle 9496
  • 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

1 to fixGoogle 9298
  • 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
  • Meta description: 154 characters

    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

    Your main headline reads: “THE FUTURE OF REAL ESTATE IS...”.

  • Title: 55 characters

    Your title is a healthy 55 characters: “Austin Title | Commercial and Residential Title Company”.

  • 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

1 to fix88
  • 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

3 to fix83
  • 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.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 13 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 12 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • 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.

  • Every page has a title

    All 12 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 10093
  • 3 JavaScript errors while loading

    3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Connecting to 'https://use.typekit.net/mki5fbl.css' violates the following Content Security Policy directive: "connect-…”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

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

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

1 to fix94
  • 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.

  • 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.

7 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (austintitle.com).

  • Valid certificate (83 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YR2 verifies for austintitle.com and is valid for another 83 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

    X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.

  • Content-Security-Policy set

    A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://austintitle.com redirects to the secure version.

  • 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
  • Domain is 28 years old

    28 years

    austintitle.com was registered in Apr 1998 through MarkMonitor Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Apr 2028

    austintitle.com is registered until Apr 2028.

Content and conversion

3 to fix79
  • 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

    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 391 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 391 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “PROPERTY SPOTLIGHT REQUEST” and “CONTACT US”.

  • 8 calls to action

    The homepage has 8 calls to action, for example “Property Spotlight Request”, “Contact Us” and “Learn More”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics.

  • 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

100
  • Email authentication score: 100/100

    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 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.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 2 trackers load before any consent

    2

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (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.

  • 3 cookies set on arrival

    3

    Opening the homepage sets 3 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.

  • 9 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 9 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
