Speed

11 to fix56
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.9 s

    11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.9 s.

  • Main-thread work: 7.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 7.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.0 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 (Shopify, Clarity and Klaviyo and others), adding 2.5 MB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.

  • Mobile performance score: 56

    56/100

    Your mobile performance score is 56. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    300 ms · 639 KiB

    About 639 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Shopify adds 640 ms

    640 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 640 ms of main-thread work and 1.5 MB 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.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    600 ms · 114 KiB

    About 114 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    300 ms · 220 KiB

    23 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (220 KiB).

  • 7 long tasks on the main thread

    7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 444 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 2,865 HTML elements

    The page has 2,865 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • tidio.co adds 67 ms

    67 ms

    tidio.co costs a phone 67 ms of main-thread work and 515 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.

  • Improve image delivery

    150 ms · 40 KiB

    6 images could be 40 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    59 KiB

    59 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    19 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 19 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Minify JavaScript

    9 KiB

    9 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 14 ms

    14 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 14 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix100
  • Time to Interactive: 24.3 s

    24.3 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 24.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 5.9 s

    5.9 s

    Your largest element takes 5.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s.

  • Speed Index: 8.9 s

    8.9 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 8.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 521 ms

    521 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 521 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 1 image without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +1%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 140 ms to 141 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -8%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.0 s to 1.8 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

8 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

  • Real-user LCP: 1.8 s

    1.8 s

    Real visitors wait 1.8 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 139 ms

    139 ms

  • Real-user CLS: 0.01

    0.01

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.01 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.6 s

    1.6 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.6 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 534 ms

    534 ms

    Real visitors wait 534 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.5 s

    1.5 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.5 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.001

    0.001

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.001, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

3 to fix53
  • Page weight: 5.0 MB in 450 requests

    5.0 MB

    Your homepage downloads 5.0 MB in 450 requests on a phone: scripts 2.5 MB (184), other files 1.2 MB (200) and images 696 KiB (27). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    AV_NOW_Social_Media_Rechargeable_Battery_Kits_3000x1500_aae6 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).

  • 4 images far larger than shown

    291 KiB

    4 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example AV_NOW_Social_Media_Rechargeable_Battery_Kits_3000x1500_aae6 at 2,000 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 291 KiB.

  • About 1.4 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.43 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.43 g of CO₂e: 171.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

Accessibility

7 to fixGoogle 8591
  • 1 button without a name

    1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • 27 text elements with low contrast

    27 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • 7 tap targets too small

    7 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (4 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Zoom is disabled

    The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

  • 7 links without text

    7 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (8 elements)

    Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 8 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 54 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 49 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: 49 passed and 7 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

5 to fixGoogle 8575
  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • Title is long (93 characters)

    Your title is 93 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Fitness Microphones & Sound Systems for Studios, Gyms & Multi-Location — AV Now Fitness S…”.

  • Meta description is long (320 characters)

    Your meta description is 320 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 5 links crawlers can't follow

    5 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

  • 2 links with vague text

    2 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

  • 147 internal links, 22 external

    The homepage links to 147 pages on avnow.com and 22 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.avnow.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: WebSite.

  • 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.avnow.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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 (1,798 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 1 page without a meta description

    /blogs/av has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 link to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example /pages/request-a-quote1, whose canonical is /pages/request-a-quote. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 2 pages slow to respond

    /pages/request-a-quote1 and /pages/contact-us took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 72 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 5491
  • 3 third-party cookies

    3 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • 3 JavaScript errors while loading

    3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Mixed content”).

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    43 of 52 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

100
  • Short HSTS lifetime

    HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

  • 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.

  • Deprecated X-XSS-Protection

    X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; 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.

7 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

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

  • Valid certificate (49 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for avnow.com and is valid for another 49 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://avnow.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2 and HTTP/3

    The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.

  • All 48 links work

    All 48 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 8 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • DNSSEC is off

    avnow.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 29 years old

    29 years

    avnow.com was registered in Apr 1997 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Certificate issuers are restricted

    CAA records allow only letsencrypt.org, pki.goog, ssl.com and digicert.com to issue certificates for avnow.com, so a mis-issued certificate from anyone else is refused.

  • Registered until Apr 2027

    avnow.com is registered until Apr 2027.

Content and conversion

100
  • Phone number is not tap-to-call

    Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.

  • About 955 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 955 words of visible text.

  • Urgency cues

    The page uses urgency cues (a countdown or limited-time wording).

6 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Schedule a Call” and “Learn more here”.

  • 23 calls to action

    The homepage has 23 calls to action, for example “Request a Quote”, “Schedule a Call” and “Learn more here”.

  • 3 short forms

    3 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 2 testimonial or review blocks and a star rating.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Microsoft Clarity.

  • Risk reducer mentioned

    A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.

Email authentication

90
  • Email authentication score: 90/100

    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: quarantine

    DMARC tells receivers to quarantine 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 ip4:40.107.77.113 ip4:23.114.101.10 ip4:68.63.184.225 ip4:68.93.184.225 ip4:216.173.134.44 ip4:152.160.0.0/16 ip…”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 8 trackers load before any consent

    8

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel and 3 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.

  • 15 cookies set on arrival

    15

    Opening the homepage sets 15 cookies, 2 of them by other companies (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.

  • 43 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 43 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Apps on your store

Your storefront loads 21 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.

  • Qikify · problem reported Oct 2026attackers planted code in its settings that sent shoppers who pressed Checkout to a fake checkout page taking card details. What to do: update the app, check its settings for code or HTML you didn't add, and test checkout in a private window.
