Speed

11 to fix26
  • Render-blocking requests

    13.1 s

    1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 13.1 s.

  • Main-thread work: 10.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 10.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 6.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Mobile performance score: 26

    26/100

    Your mobile performance score is 26 (desktop: 61). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    450 ms · 1.6 MB

    About 1.6 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • 7 third-party services on the page

    7 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Vimeo and Optanon and others), adding 4.1 MB and 1.6 s of main-thread time.

  • Improve image delivery

    950 ms · 751 KiB

    14 images could be 751 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 950 ms faster on a phone.

  • Vimeo adds 443 ms

    443 ms

    Vimeo costs a phone 443 ms of main-thread work and 3.1 MB 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.

  • Google CDN adds 582 ms

    582 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 582 ms of main-thread work and 762 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.

  • Optanon adds 415 ms

    415 ms

    Optanon costs a phone 415 ms of main-thread work and 197 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.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 381 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 1,876 HTML elements

    The page has 1,876 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    209 KiB

    17 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (209 KiB).

  • Font display

    100 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    77 KiB

    About 77 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    34 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 34 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Phones get a much slower page than desktops

    Desktop scores 61 but mobile only 26. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 4 ms

    4 ms

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

Core Web Vitals

9 to fix67
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

  • First Contentful Paint: 13.5 s

    13.5 s

    The first text or image appears after 13.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 20.2 s

    20.2 s

    Your largest element takes 20.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “a woman sitting in a chair”.

  • Time to Interactive: 40.5 s

    40.5 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 40.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 13.5 s

    13.5 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 13.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 2.9 s

    2.9 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 2.9 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user LCP: 2.9 s

    2.9 s

    Real visitors wait 2.9 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user FCP: 2.0 s

    2.0 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.0 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    Real visitors wait 1.1 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +8%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 85 ms to 92 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

4 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 79 ms

    79 ms

    Real visitors wait 79 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.01

    0.01

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.01 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 13% faster for real visitors

    -13%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.0 s to 1.7 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.05

    0.05

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.05, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

3 to fix53
  • Page weight: 9.6 MB in 121 requests

    9.6 MB

    Your homepage downloads 9.6 MB in 121 requests on a phone: scripts 2.9 MB (29), fonts 2.6 MB (9) and images 1.9 MB (40). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 27 images below the first screen load straight away

    27 images further down the page (1.6 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • 2 images far larger than shown

    170 KiB

    2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example bruno-stairlifts-bruce-irene.webp at 1,920 px wide, shown at 326 px. Resized copies would save about 170 KiB.

  • About 2.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    2.71 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.71 g of CO₂e: 325.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

Accessibility

4 to fixGoogle 10096
  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (2 elements)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Banner landmark should not be contained in another landmark (1 element)

    Banner landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Document should not have more than one banner landmark (1 element)

    Document should not have more than one banner landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 1 form field without a label

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

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 32 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 49 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 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 10096
  • Structured data has 2 problems

    Structured data found (Corporation and Product) but with 2 problems, for example “Corporation: missing name”.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.

  • 64 internal links, 3 external

    The homepage links to 64 pages on bruno.com and 3 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 158 characters

    Your meta description is 158 characters: “Bruno a veteran-founded, family-owned accessibility products company delivering the highest quality stairlifts, scooter…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Bruno Independent Living Aids”.

  • Title: 55 characters

    Your title is a healthy 55 characters: “Bruno® Independent Living Aids, Inc. | Make Life Easier”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.bruno.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.bruno.com/sitemap_index.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: 5 of 6 facts

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

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (385 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (12 KiB, 59 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

4 to fix81
  • 2 pages share a title

    /stairlifts and /stair-lifts all use the title “Bruno® Stairlifts | Made in USA”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 1 page without a meta description

    /privacy-policy has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 2 pages share a meta description

    /stairlifts and /stair-lifts use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 1 link to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example /stair-lifts, whose canonical is /stairlifts. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 31 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

4 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • 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

3 to fixGoogle 5488
  • 2 third-party cookies

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

  • 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.”).

  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “%c%d font-size:0;color:transparent NaN”.

  • Browser-reported issues

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

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    38 of 38 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 30 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

  • 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 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 (bruno.com).

  • Valid certificate (80 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for bruno.com and is valid for another 80 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://bruno.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2

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

  • All 35 links work

    All 35 links checked from your homepage (32 internal, 3 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    bruno.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

    bruno.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 31 years old

    31 years

    bruno.com was registered in Mar 1995 through NameCheap, Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Mar 2035

    bruno.com is registered until Mar 2035.

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.

  • A 9-field form

    Your longest form asks for 9 fields (7 required). Every extra field lowers completion.

  • 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 392 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 392 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: “Free Quote” and “Call”.

  • 6 calls to action

    The homepage has 6 calls to action, for example “Free Quote”, “Free Quote Free Quote” and “Call”.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 2 testimonial or review blocks, 2 customer or partner logos and a star rating.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 2 phone links and 0 email links.

  • Phone number on the homepage

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

Email authentication

1 to fix85
  • 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: 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.

2 checks passed
  • DMARC policy: reject

    DMARC tells receivers to reject 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.protection.outlook.com include:us._netblocks.mimecast.com include:usb._netblocks.mimecast.com includ…”.

Privacy and tracking

  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (OneTrust) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 12 cookies set on arrival

    12

    Opening the homepage sets 12 cookies, 3 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 13 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 13 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: OneTrust

    A consent management tool (OneTrust) loads with the page.
