aventon.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Mobile performance score: 43
43/100Your mobile performance score is 43 (desktop: 51). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
7,367 HTML elements
The page has 7,367 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Main-thread work: 5.4 s
A phone's processor spends 5.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.2 MBAbout 2.2 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Google Tag Manager and Google CDN and others), adding 2.4 MB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
662 KiB32 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (662 KiB).
Improve image delivery
300 ms · 273 KiB15 images could be 273 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 121 KiBAbout 121 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.
17 long tasks on the main thread
17 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 401 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Shopify adds 327 ms
327 msShopify costs a phone 327 ms of main-thread work and 576 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.
Google CDN adds 192 ms
192 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 192 ms of main-thread work and 733 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.
Google Tag Manager adds 227 ms
227 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 227 ms of main-thread work and 352 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.
Render-blocking requests
150 ms4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 150 ms.
Legacy JavaScript
58 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 58 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.
Minify CSS
4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Minify JavaScript
2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 13.8 MB in 370 requests
13.8 MBYour homepage downloads 13.8 MB in 370 requests on a phone: media 5.4 MB (3), scripts 3.8 MB (108) and images 2.6 MB (78). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image over 500 KB
20260313-175252.png weighs 1.5 MB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
BrettTippie_ChargersWHT_1024x1024.png is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
2 images in older formats
2 images (118 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.
About 3.9 g of CO₂ per visit
3.90 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.90 g of CO₂e: 468.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
ARIA attributes must conform to valid names (1 element)
ARIA attributes must conform to valid names: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.
ARIA attributes must conform to valid values (1 element)
ARIA attributes must conform to valid values: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.
22 images without alt text
22 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (111 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 111 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.
10 links without text
10 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
2 form fields without a label
2 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (5 elements)
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 5 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings should not be empty (1 element)
Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
45 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 56 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 11 failed. 5 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
Meta description is long (168 characters)
Your meta description is 168 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
5 links with vague text
5 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
3 links crawlers can't follow
3 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.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
197 internal links, 23 external
The homepage links to 197 pages on aventon.com and 23 external pages.
5 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Save a Horse, Ride an Aventon”.
Title: 50 characters
Your title is a healthy 50 characters: “Aventon Bikes: Electric Bikes Redefining Adventure”.
Canonical URL set

XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.aventon.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.
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.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,031 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (4 KiB, 5 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
4 pages without a meta description
/pages/contact-us, /pages/terms-of-service, /pages/referral-project and /pages/new-releases have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
5 pages without an H1
/pages/terms-of-service, /pages/referral-project, /products/current-adv-ebike, /collections/ebikes and /collections/electric-commuter-bike have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
15 internal pages checked

Security and trust

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.

The homepage is served over HTTPS (aventon.com).
Valid certificate (75 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE2 verifies for aventon.com and is valid for another 75 days.
Protected from clickjacking
X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.
Content-Security-Policy set

All 54 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 14 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
DNSSEC is off
aventon.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 14 years old
14 yearsaventon.com was registered in Aug 2012 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. 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 aventon.com, so a mis-issued certificate from anyone else is refused.
Registered until Aug 2031
aventon.com is registered until Aug 2031.
Content and conversion
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 4 customer or partner logos. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
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 638 words of copy
The homepage carries about 638 words of visible text.
4 checks passed
