Speed

6 to fix60
  • Render-blocking requests

    3.5 s

    16 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.5 s.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.2 s · 274 KiB

    10 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (274 KiB).

  • Mobile performance score: 60

    60/100

    Your mobile performance score is 60. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Improve image delivery

    150 ms · 789 KiB

    13 images could be 789 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.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    750 ms · 155 KiB

    About 155 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    450 ms · 99 KiB

    About 99 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (elfsightcdn.com, Privy and POWr and others), adding 612 KiB and 328 ms of main-thread time.

  • Minify CSS

    150 ms · 17 KiB

    17 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • 2 long tasks on the main thread

    2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 67 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 693 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 5 ms

    5 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 5 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix66
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 11.3 s

    11.3 s

    Your largest element takes 11.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Glazed Pecans”.

  • First Contentful Paint: 4.5 s

    4.5 s

    The first text or image appears after 4.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 11.8 s

    11.8 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 11.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 6.7 s

    6.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 6.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 20 images without width and height

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

  • Not enough real-visitor data yet

    Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

2 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.053

    0.053

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.053, good is under 0.1).

  • Total Blocking Time: 17 ms

    17 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 17 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

4 to fix48
  • 19 images far larger than shown

    1.4 MB

    19 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example aztecan0015.webp at 1,000 px wide, shown at 173 px. Resized copies would save about 1.4 MB.

  • Page weight: 2.9 MB in 182 requests

    2.9 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.9 MB in 182 requests on a phone: images 1.3 MB (27), other files 686 KiB (81) and scripts 679 KiB (56). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 10 images in older formats

    10 images (1.2 MB) 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.

  • 4 images below the first screen load straight away

    4 images further down the page (422 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.82 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.82 g of CO₂e: 98.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

12 to fixGoogle 7283
  • 3 buttons without a name

    3 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • 8 text elements with low contrast

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

  • ARIA input fields must have an accessible name (2 elements)

    ARIA input fields must have an accessible name: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • Interactive controls must not be nested (2 elements)

    Interactive controls must not be nested: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • <html> element must have a lang attribute (1 element)

    <html> element must have a lang attribute: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 1 tap target too small

    1 tap target is too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (37 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 37 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.

  • 15 form fields without a label

    15 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • 6 links without text

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

  • No page language

    The <html> element has no lang attribute, so screen readers may read the page in the wrong voice and accent.

  • Headings should not be empty (2 elements)

    Headings should not be empty: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h3 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 59 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 41 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 41 passed and 12 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 9287
  • Title is short (20 characters)

    Your title is only 20 characters: “Azteca Mexican Candy”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • 18 links crawlers can't follow

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

  • 87 internal links, 6 external

    The homepage links to 87 pages on aztecacandy.com and 6 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 149 characters

    Your meta description is 149 characters: “We are a family candy company based in Dallas, Texas. Our products are all about the love and dedication that every mem…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Azteca Mexican Candy”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • 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.aztecacandy.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix83
  • 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.

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.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

100
  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 22 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

1 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

Best practices

4 to fixGoogle 6983
  • 24 small tap targets

    24 of 35 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • Deprecated browser APIs

    The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).

  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 403 ()”.

  • 1 distorted image

    1 image is displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so it looks stretched or squashed.

  • 1 low-resolution image

    1 image is served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.

1 checks passed
  • 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 (aztecacandy.com).

  • Valid certificate (48 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WR1 verifies for aztecacandy.com and is valid for another 48 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://aztecacandy.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 30 links work

    All 30 links checked from your homepage (24 internal, 6 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    aztecacandy.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

    aztecacandy.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 10 years old

    10 years

    aztecacandy.com was registered in Mar 2016 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Mar 2029

    aztecacandy.com is registered until Mar 2029.

Content and conversion

4 to fix72
  • No social proof

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

  • Local business without LocalBusiness data

    Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.

  • No analytics detected

    No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

  • Only about 126 words

    The homepage has only about 126 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • No opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • 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.

5 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “GO TO THE SHOP”.

  • 10 calls to action

    The homepage has 10 calls to action, for example “SHOP”, “CONTACT” and “Go to the shop”.

  • 9 short forms

    9 short forms (2 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 1 email link.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.

Email authentication

3 to fix0
  • No DMARC policy

    aztecacandy.com has no DMARC record, so nothing tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF or DKIM. Gmail and Yahoo require DMARC from bulk senders.

  • No SPF record

    aztecacandy.com has no SPF record, so mail servers can't tell which servers may send email as you. Your mail lands in spam more often, and anyone can send mail pretending to be you.

  • No DKIM key on the usual selectors

    We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.

  • Email authentication score: 0/100

    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.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 4 trackers load before any consent

    4

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

  • 11 cookies set on arrival

    11

    Opening the homepage sets 11 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.

  • 27 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 27 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 5 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.

None of the apps your storefront loads is on the list of apps with a known security problem.
