Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Render-blocking requests
1.1 s16 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 KiBAbout 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
51/100Your 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 msGoogle 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 KiB8 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 msShopify 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 KiB9 images could be 92 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Reduce unused CSS
12 KiBAbout 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 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

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 msYour server sent the HTML in 30 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 12.7 s
12.7 sYour 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 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 15.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.244
0.244The 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 sThe first text or image appears after 2.7 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Total Blocking Time: 312 ms
312 msScripts 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 sVisually, 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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.3 MB in 138 requests
2.3 MBYour 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 gBy 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
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.

AI search readiness
4 checks passed

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
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.

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
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 yearsbridgecomsystems.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
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.

The homepage carries about 378 words of visible text.

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”.
