Speed

2 to fix67
  • Mobile performance score: 67

    67/100

    Your mobile performance score is 67. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    450 ms · 208 KiB

    About 208 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • 4 third-party services on the page

    4 third-party services load with your homepage (Judge.me, smile.io and Shopify and others), adding 503 KiB and 243 ms of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 44 KiB

    About 44 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    150 ms

    3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 150 ms.

  • Improve image delivery

    149 KiB

    4 images could be 149 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • 1 long task on the main thread

    1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 103 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    17 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 17 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    14 KiB

    6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (14 KiB).

  • Minify CSS

    8 KiB

    8 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 619 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 4 ms

    4 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix68
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 7.9 s

    7.9 s

    Your largest element takes 7.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 7.9 s

    7.9 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 7.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 5.7 s

    5.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.7 s

    2.7 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.7 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 16 images without width and height

    16 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

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

  • Total Blocking Time: 53 ms

    53 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 53 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

100
  • About 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.53 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.53 g of CO₂e: 63.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

4 checks passed
  • Page weight: 1.9 MB in 173 requests

    1.9 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.9 MB in 173 requests on a phone: other files 763 KiB (92), scripts 572 KiB (58) and fonts 238 KiB (8). That is a lean page.

  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images load when needed

    Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.

  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

5 to fixGoogle 9092
  • 6 text elements with low contrast

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

  • ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name (1 element)

    ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • Links must have discernible text (1 element)

    Links must have discernible text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (75 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 75 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 8 form fields without a label

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

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h5 and h2 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 31 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 46 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 51 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 5 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 8568
  • No meta description

    No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • No H1 headline

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

  • Title is short (14 characters)

    Your title is only 14 characters: “beaverdust.com”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • Structured data has 1 problem

    Structured data found (Organization and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “WebSite: potentialAction.target is not an absolute URL ("/en-us/search?q={search_term_string}")”.

  • 1 link with vague text

    1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

  • Open Graph partly set

    Open Graph is missing og:description, so shared links fall back to guesses.

  • 32 internal links, 2 external

    The homepage links to 32 pages on beaverdust.com and 2 external pages.

3 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://beaverdust.com/en-us.

  • 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://beaverdust.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
4 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.

  • Organization data: 4 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (655 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 to fix95
  • 4 pages without a meta description

    /en-us/collections/all, /en-us/pages/reviews, /en-us/blogs/pigment-recipes and /en-us/collections/variety-packs have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 15 internal pages checked

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

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • 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

Google 92100
  • 1 low-resolution image

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

3 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    20 of 20 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 (beaverdust.com).

  • Valid certificate (52 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WR1 verifies for beaverdust.com and is valid for another 52 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://beaverdust.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 27 links work

    All 27 links checked from your homepage (25 internal, 2 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    beaverdust.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

    beaverdust.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 5 years old

    5 years

    beaverdust.com was registered in Mar 2021 through Bluehost Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Mar 2027

    beaverdust.com is registered until Mar 2027.

Content and conversion

5 to fix69
  • 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 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: 123 testimonial or review blocks. 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 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 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 616 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 616 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Sign Up”.

  • 4 calls to action

    The homepage has 4 calls to action, for example “Shop Product”, “Contact Us” and “Sign Up”.

  • 7 short forms

    7 short forms (3 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.

Email authentication

1 to fix70
  • DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be beaverdust.com is still delivered. Add a report address, check the reports, then move to quarantine.

  • Email authentication score: 70/100

    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.

2 checks passed
  • SPF in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 a mx include:websitewelcome.com ~all”.

  • DKIM signing found

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

Privacy and tracking

  • 7 cookies set on arrival

    7

    Opening the homepage sets 7 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.

  • 8 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 8 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • No known trackers before consent

    No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).

Apps on your store

Your storefront loads 1 app. It 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.
