cedargraphicsinc.com website review

• Google's speed test didn't respond

  Google's speed test didn't respond for this site, so speed and Core Web Vitals are not measured here. Your full playbook measures them.

Not measured in this review.

• Page weight: 3.1 MB

  3.1 MB

  Your homepage downloads 3.1 MB on a phone, 1.5 MB of it images (49%). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

• 9 images below the first screen load straight away

  9 images further down the page (433 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  Elements (5)

• 9 images in older formats

  9 images (433 KiB) are JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.

  Elements (5)

• About 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit

  0.87 g

  By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.87 g of CO₂e: 104.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

• 5 text elements with low contrast

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

  Elements (3)

• 6 links without text

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

  Elements (3)

• 1 form field without a label

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

  View source

• ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (2 elements)

  ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  Elements (2)

• Headings skip levels

  Headings skip levels (h3 → h6, h3 → h6 and h2 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

• Title is long (117 characters)

  Your title is 117 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Cedar Graphics, Inc | UV Offset & Digital Printing | Commercial Printer | Cedar Graphics …”.

  View source

• Meta description is long (184 characters)

  Your meta description is 184 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  View source

• 193 internal links, 62 external

  The homepage links to 193 pages on cedargraphicsinc.com and 62 external pages.

• 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.

  View source

• 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.

• Your server turned our page checks away

  15 pages we tried to fetch timed out or refused automated requests, so these checks couldn't run. Some firewalls do this to every bot, including search engine crawlers they don't recognise.

• 3 small tap targets

  3 of 14 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

• 2 JavaScript errors while loading

  2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

• 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.

• No CAA record

  cedargraphicsinc.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

  cedargraphicsinc.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.

• A 9-field form

  Your longest form asks for 9 fields (0 required). Every extra field lowers completion.

  View source

• Phone number is not tap-to-call

  Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.

• 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 681 words of copy

  The homepage carries about 681 words of visible text.

• DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

  DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be cedargraphicsinc.com is still delivered. Add a report address, check the reports, then move to quarantine.

• Email authentication score: 70/100

  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.

• 4 trackers load before any consent

  4

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

• 14 cookies set on arrival

  14

  Opening the homepage sets 14 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.

• 23 other companies contacted

  Loading the homepage contacts 23 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
