Speed

6 to fix56
  • Render-blocking requests

    2.3 s

    14 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.3 s.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    1.0 s · 44 KiB

    About 44 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.0 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 56

    56/100

    Your mobile performance score is 56 (desktop: 61). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Improve image delivery

    150 ms · 667 KiB

    8 images could be 667 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    450 ms · 45 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 45 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 0 ms

    0 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 311 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.

  • Font display

    250 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 250 ms).

  • 6 third-party services on the page

    6 third-party services load with your homepage (cdn-cookieyes.com, SharpSpring and Cloudflare and others), adding 468 KiB and 86 ms of main-thread time.

  • 1 long task on the main thread

    1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 61 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Minify CSS

    6 KiB

    6 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    5 KiB

    3 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (5 KiB).

  • 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: 0.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 240 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 3 ms

    3 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 3 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix67
  • First Contentful Paint: 9.4 s

    9.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 9.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 15.1 s

    15.1 s

    Your largest element takes 15.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.

  • Time to Interactive: 15.4 s

    15.4 s

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

  • Speed Index: 9.4 s

    9.4 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 9.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 9 images without width and height

    9 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: 0 ms

    0 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 2.1 MB in 291 requests

    2.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.1 MB in 291 requests on a phone: images 1.4 MB (22), scripts 580 KiB (23) and stylesheets 80 KiB (10). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image below the first screen load straight away

    1 image further down the page (23 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.60 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.60 g of CO₂e: 71.6 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

9 to fixGoogle 6884
  • Certain ARIA roles must be contained by particular parents (5 elements)

    Certain ARIA roles must be contained by particular parents: 5 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children (1 element)

    Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • Orphan list items

    Some list items are not inside a list.

  • Hidden but focusable

    5 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.

  • 4 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 8 images without alt text

    8 images have 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.

  • 8 links without text

    8 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h3 and h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

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

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

1 checks passed
  • 38 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 38 passed and 10 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 8590
  • 3 H1 headlines

    There are 3 <h1> headlines (“Woman-Owned Business”, “Life Safety at Work” and “Looking for a Rewarding Career?”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 9 links with vague text

    9 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

  • 40 internal links, 13 external

    The homepage links to 40 pages on bsgi.com and 13 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 141 characters

    Your meta description is 141 characters: “The official website of Berkshire Systems Group, Inc. (BSGI); The Life Safety Experts whose commercial products and ser…”.

  • Title: 36 characters

    Your title is a healthy 36 characters: “Berkshire Systems Group, Inc. (BSGI)”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.bsgi.com/sitemap_index.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

  • 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 (888 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

100

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 7393
  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Mixed Content: The page at 'https://www.bsgi.com/' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure font 'http://www.bs…”.

  • Browser-reported issues

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

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    30 of 35 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

4 to fix64
  • 1 broken link to your own pages

    1 link from your homepage to your own site is broken, for example https://www.bsgi.com/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection (404).

  • http:// does not redirect

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

  • 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.

  • 1 link through redirect chains

    1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://www.dgs.pa.gov/COSTARS/Pages/default.aspx.

  • 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.

3 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

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

  • Valid certificate (46 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for bsgi.com and is valid for another 46 days.

  • 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

  • No CAA record

    bsgi.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

    bsgi.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 22 years old

    22 years

    bsgi.com was registered in Feb 2004 through Network Solutions, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Feb 2031

    bsgi.com is registered until Feb 2031.

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 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 1,396 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,396 words of visible text.

7 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Service Request” and “Contact Us”.

  • 14 calls to action

    The homepage has 14 calls to action, for example “Call Center”, “Contact Us” and “Service Request”.

  • 1 short form

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

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 27 testimonial or review blocks, 9 customer or partner logos and 3 trust badges.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics and Cloudflare Web Analytics.

  • 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

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 include:spf.protection.outlook.com -all”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”, “k2” and “s1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

  • 1 tracker load before any consent

    1

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

  • 2 cookies set on arrival

    2

    Opening the homepage sets 2 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 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
  • Consent tool: CookieYes
