Speed
Render-blocking requests
1.9 s11 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
56/100Your mobile performance score is 56. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
300 ms · 639 KiBAbout 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 msShopify 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 KiBAbout 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 KiB23 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 mstidio.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 KiB6 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 KiB59 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.
Legacy JavaScript
19 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 19 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify JavaScript
9 KiB9 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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 5.0 MB in 450 requests
5.0 MBYour 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 KiB4 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 gBy 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
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
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
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
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

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
