Speed

10 to fix57
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    2.7 s · 1.4 MB

    77 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.4 MB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.7 s · 948 KiB

    About 948 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.7 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    3.0 s

    21 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.0 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 57

    57/100

    Your mobile performance score is 57. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    750 ms · 196 KiB

    About 196 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (YouTube, Facebook and popupsmart.com and others), adding 2.2 MB and 580 ms of main-thread time.

  • YouTube adds 307 ms

    307 ms

    YouTube costs a phone 307 ms of main-thread work and 987 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

    293 KiB

    2 images could be 293 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Main-thread work: 2.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • popupsmart.com adds 68 ms

    68 ms

    popupsmart.com costs a phone 68 ms of main-thread work and 742 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.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 30 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 30 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 4 long tasks on the main thread

    4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 95 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • 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.

  • Minify JavaScript

    5 KiB

    5 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Minify CSS

    4 KiB

    4 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 29 ms

    29 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 29 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix67
  • First Contentful Paint: 8.3 s

    8.3 s

    The first text or image appears after 8.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 8.3 s

    8.3 s

    Your largest element takes 8.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Biscayne’s exceptional team of professionals uses the most …”.

  • Time to Interactive: 19.6 s

    19.6 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 19.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 9.7 s

    9.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 9.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 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: 0.006

    0.006

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.006, good is under 0.1).

  • Total Blocking Time: 52 ms

    52 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 52 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 3.6 MB in 130 requests

    3.6 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.6 MB in 130 requests on a phone: scripts 1.8 MB (38), images 936 KiB (32) and fonts 315 KiB (8). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.01 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.01 g of CO₂e: 121.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • 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

10 to fixGoogle 7885
  • 8 tap targets too small

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

  • 2 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 1 image without alt text

    1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (9 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 9 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.

  • 1 form field without a label

    1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • 1 link without text

    1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • 33 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 42 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 33 passed and 9 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

6 to fixGoogle 8574
  • Title is long (126 characters)

    Your title is 126 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Biscayne – Providing engineering, surveying, mapping and planning services in Greater Mia…”.

  • 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 short (54 characters)

    Your meta description is only 54 characters: “BeHosting | Best WordPress theme for hosting providers”. 70 to 160 characters is enough to sell the click.

  • 2 H1 headlines

    There are 2 <h1> headlines (“” and “Biscayne”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 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.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

  • 17 internal links, 19 external

    The homepage links to 17 pages on biscayneengineering.com and 19 external pages.

3 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://biscayneengineering.com/.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://biscayneengineering.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.

  • No llms.txt

    There is no /llms.txt, a short Markdown guide to your key pages for AI tools (llmstxt.org). It is optional and few AI tools read it yet, so treat it as a cheap extra.

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.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (504 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

1 to fix98
  • 8 pages share a meta description

    /about, /meet-our-team, /our-history, /services, /projects and /contact-us and 2 others use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 4 pages with very little text

    /meet-our-team, /services, /contact-us and /ingenieros have under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

  • 8 internal pages checked

    We fetched 8 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

7 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 8 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

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

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 8 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • 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 8 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 7385
  • 13 small tap targets

    13 of 15 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 5 third-party cookies

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

  • 5 JavaScript errors while loading

    5 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Unexpected token '<'”.

  • Browser-reported issues

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

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

2 to fix86
  • No HSTS header

    No Strict-Transport-Security header, so browsers may still try plain http first on a return visit.

  • No Content-Security-Policy

    No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • No clickjacking protection

    Neither X-Frame-Options nor a CSP frame-ancestors policy is set, so any site can embed yours in a frame.

  • No X-Content-Type-Options

    X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.

  • 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.

  • No security.txt

    There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

5 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

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

  • Valid certificate (77 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YR1 verifies for biscayneengineering.com and is valid for another 77 days.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://biscayneengineering.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2

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

  • All 24 links work

    All 24 links checked from your homepage (13 internal, 11 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    biscayneengineering.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

    biscayneengineering.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 28 years old

    28 years

    biscayneengineering.com was registered in Jun 1998 through Network Solutions, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Jun 2029

    biscayneengineering.com is registered until Jun 2029.

Content and conversion

2 to fix88
  • 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.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 8 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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.

  • About 364 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 364 words of visible text.

6 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “LEARN MORE”.

  • 4 calls to action

    The homepage has 4 calls to action, for example “Contact Us”, “LEARN MORE” and “CONTACT US”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics and Meta Pixel.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 3 phone links and 1 email link.

  • Phone number on the homepage

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

Email authentication

100
  • Email authentication score: 100/100

    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: reject

    DMARC tells receivers to reject mail that fails authentication.

  • SPF with a strict ending (-all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 ip4:12.97.244.154 ip4:69.195.249.230 ip4:50.240.34.105 ip4:50.243.230.65 ip4:12.8.239.138 include:spf.protection…”.

  • 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
  • 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.

  • 7 cookies set on arrival

    7

    Opening the homepage sets 7 cookies, 1 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.

  • 19 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 19 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
