One score from every part of this review. How it works

Live view · interaction off

Speed

9 to fix51
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.1 s

    16 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.

  • 3,540 HTML elements

    The page has 3,540 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    900 ms · 196 KiB

    About 196 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 51

    51/100

    Your mobile performance score is 51. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Clarity and Bing Ads and others), adding 1.3 MB and 641 ms of main-thread time.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 546 ms

    546 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 546 ms of main-thread work and 725 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.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    300 ms · 43 KiB

    8 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (43 KiB).

  • 7 long tasks on the main thread

    7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 291 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Shopify adds 7 ms

    7 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 7 ms of main-thread work and 488 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

    92 KiB

    9 images could be 92 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    12 KiB

    About 12 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • 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.

  • Minify JavaScript

    3 KiB

    3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 2.0 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 922 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 30 ms

    30 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 30 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

7 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 12.7 s

    12.7 s

    Your largest element takes 12.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Γ”.

  • Time to Interactive: 15.4 s

    15.4 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 15.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.244

    0.244

    The layout shifts by 0.244 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • 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.

  • Total Blocking Time: 312 ms

    312 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 312 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Speed Index: 3.5 s

    3.5 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 3.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 12 images without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +2%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 166 ms to 171 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -9%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.7 s to 1.6 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

6 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: 1.6 s

    1.6 s

    Real visitors wait 1.6 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 187 ms

    187 ms

    Real visitors wait 187 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.5 s

    1.5 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.5 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 451 ms

    451 ms

    Real visitors wait 451 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

Images and page weight

2 to fix81
  • Page weight: 2.3 MB in 138 requests

    2.3 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.3 MB in 138 requests on a phone: scripts 1.5 MB (53), images 382 KiB (32) and HTML 243 KiB (2). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    Maverick_PNP-BFCM_Deal.jpg 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).

  • About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.65 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.65 g of CO₂e: 77.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images are sized for phones

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

Accessibility

4 to fixGoogle 9495
  • 1 text element with low contrast

    1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • 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 (2 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 3 form fields without a label

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

  • Headings skip levels

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

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 63 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 52 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 55 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 52 passed and 3 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 10095
  • 2 H1 headlines

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

  • 362 internal links, 30 external

    The homepage links to 362 pages on bridgecomsystems.com and 30 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 79 characters

    Your meta description is 79 characters: “Your source for professional, amateur, and consumer two-way radios and systems.”.

  • Title: 62 characters

    Your title is a healthy 62 characters: “BridgeCom Systems - your source for two-way radios and systems”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization and 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.bridgecomsystems.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 (2,436 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

3 to fix65
  • 1 linked page is broken

    Your homepage links to /products/anytone-at-d878uvii-plus-plug-and-play-package, which answers with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop it.

  • 1 page without a meta description

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

  • 13 pages without an H1

    /collections/all, /pages/bridgecom-black-friday-sale-2026-bridgecom-systems, /products/bridgecom-maverick-dual-band-dmr-analog-ham-radio, /products/skybridge-max-hotspot, /products/anytone-at-d578uviii-plus-tri-band-amateur-dmr-mobile-radio and /products/ultimate-ham-shack-pack and 7 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 126 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

4 checks passed
  • 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.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 13 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 10093
  • 10 small tap targets

    10 of 33 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

2 checks passed
  • No console errors

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

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

2 to fix79
  • 7 broken links to your own pages

    7 links from your homepage to your own site are broken, for example https://www.bridgecomsystems.com/collections/all (network).

  • http:// does not redirect

    http://bridgecomsystems.com does not redirect to https, so some visitors land on the insecure version.

  • Short HSTS lifetime

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

  • 2 redirects before the homepage

    Opening https://bridgecomsystems.com goes through 2 redirects before the homepage loads.

  • 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.

5 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

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

  • Valid certificate (48 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for bridgecomsystems.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/2 and HTTP/3

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

Domain and trust

  • DNSSEC is off

    bridgecomsystems.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 22 years old

    22 years

    bridgecomsystems.com was registered in Jun 2004 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Certificate issuers are restricted

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

  • Registered until Jun 2027

    bridgecomsystems.com is registered until Jun 2027.

Content and conversion

1 to fix94
  • 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 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 378 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 378 words of visible text.

8 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Black Friday Deals Are HERE! Shop Now!”.

  • 18 calls to action

    The homepage has 18 calls to action, for example “Black Friday Deals Are HERE! Shop Now!”, “Shop” and “Download A Codeplug”.

  • 4 short forms

    4 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, 3 customer or partner logos, 8 trust badges and “75000+ Happy Customers”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity and LinkedIn Insight.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 7 phone links and 2 email links.

  • Opening hours shown

    Your opening hours are on the homepage.

  • Phone number on the homepage

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

Email authentication

85
  • Email authentication score: 85/100

    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 in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com include:21328144.spf51.hubspotemail.net ~all”.

  • DKIM signing found

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

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 5 trackers load before any consent

    5

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

  • 20 cookies set on arrival

    20

    Opening the homepage sets 20 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.

  • 22 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 22 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 23 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.
