Speed

11 to fix33
  • Improve image delivery

    2.3 s · 2.7 MB

    7 images could be 2.7 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.3 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    2.5 s · 860 KiB

    44 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (860 KiB).

  • audioeye-services.com adds 1.9 s

    1.9 s

    audioeye-services.com costs a phone 1.9 s of main-thread work and 298 KiB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.2 s · 633 KiB

    About 633 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.2 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 33

    33/100

    Your mobile performance score is 33 (desktop: 70). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 8.8 s

    A phone's processor spends 8.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 5.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (audioeye-services.com, Google Tag Manager and Facebook and others), adding 1.3 MB and 3.7 s of main-thread time.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 947 ms

    947 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 947 ms of main-thread work and 386 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.

  • Render-blocking requests

    600 ms

    10 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 600 ms.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 561 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Facebook adds 331 ms

    331 ms

    Facebook costs a phone 331 ms of main-thread work and 213 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.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 102 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 102 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 65 KiB

    About 65 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Phones get a much slower page than desktops

    Desktop scores 70 but mobile only 33. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

  • Minify CSS

    6 KiB

    6 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • 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: 3 ms

    3 ms

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

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 13.8 s

    13.8 s

    Your largest element takes 13.8 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: 23.3 s

    23.3 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 23.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 1.8 s

    1.8 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 1.8 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 4.1 s

    4.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 4.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 7.9 s

    7.9 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 7.9 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.

9 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: 1.3 s

    1.3 s

    Real visitors wait 1.3 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 191 ms

    191 ms

    Real visitors wait 191 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: 1.2 s

    1.2 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.2 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 546 ms

    546 ms

    Real visitors wait 546 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) got 16% faster for real visitors

    -16%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 254 ms to 202 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 40% faster for real visitors

    -40%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.4 s to 1.4 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.011

    0.011

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.011, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix0
  • Page weight: 6.6 MB in 155 requests

    6.6 MB

    Your homepage downloads 6.6 MB in 155 requests on a phone: images 4.5 MB (37), scripts 1.8 MB (61) and fonts 208 KiB (3). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 1.9 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.88 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.88 g of CO₂e: 225.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

1 to fix95
  • 2 links without text

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

  • Skip links are not focusable.

    Skip links are not focusable. (1 element).

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

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (3 elements).

1 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 16 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

SEO

7 to fixGoogle 7771
  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • Meta description is long (209 characters)

    Your meta description is 209 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • Structured data has 1 problem

    Structured data found (BankOrCreditUnion and BreadcrumbList) but with 1 problem, for example “BankOrCreditUnion: logo is not an absolute URL ("/images/default-source/logos/centier-bank-logo.jpg…”.

  • No XML sitemap

    No XML sitemap at https://www.centier.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

  • No robots.txt

    There is no robots.txt at centier.com/robots.txt, the first file search crawlers ask for.

  • 6 links with vague text

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

  • 1 link crawlers can't follow

    1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

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

  • 39 internal links, 12 external

    The homepage links to 39 pages on centier.com and 12 external pages.

3 checks passed
  • Title: 51 characters

    Your title is a healthy 51 characters: “Centier Bank Indiana | Family Owned Bank Since 1895”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Open Graph tags complete

    Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.

AI search readiness

1 to fix83
  • No Organization structured data

    There is no Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants have no machine-readable facts about who runs the site: its name, logo, profiles and contact details.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • AI answer engines may read the site

    There is no robots.txt, so nothing stops the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity from reading the site and cite it in answers.

Other pages

3 to fix83
  • 1 linked page hidden from search

    /resources/upgrade is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

  • 1 page without a meta description

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

  • 1 page without an H1

    /resources/upgrade has 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 29 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

4 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    11 pages of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).

  • 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.

  • Every page has a title

    All 11 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 6984
  • 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.”).

  • 6 console errors

    6 errors were logged to the browser console during Google's test (“Connecting to 'https://demo-1.conversionsapigateway.com/events?cee=no' violates the following Conte…”).

  • 2 distorted images

    2 images are displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so they look stretched or squashed.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Content security policy”).

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

100
  • 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.

7 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

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

  • Valid certificate (63 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for centier.com and is valid for another 63 days.

  • Content-Security-Policy set

    A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • HSTS enabled

    Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://centier.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2 and HTTP/3

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

  • All 43 links work

    All 43 links checked from your homepage (31 internal, 12 external) answered without errors; 12 did not answer within 5 s.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    centier.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.

3 checks passed
  • Domain is 29 years old

    29 years

    centier.com was registered in Mar 1997 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • DNSSEC is on

    centier.com's DNS answers are signed (DNSSEC), so they can't be forged on the way to visitors.

  • Registered until Mar 2027

    centier.com is registered until Mar 2027.

Content and conversion

4 to fix64
  • No social proof

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

  • 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 phone number on the homepage

    A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.

  • No direct contact details

    No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

  • No opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • No form on the homepage

    There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

  • No map or directions link

    There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

  • About 289 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 289 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • 8 calls to action

    The homepage has 8 calls to action, for example “Book An Appointment”, “Contact Us” and “Sign Up”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

  • Risk reducer mentioned

    A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.

Email authentication

1 to fix75
  • DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

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

  • Email authentication score: 75/100

    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
  • SPF with a strict ending (-all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 include:spfhost.messageprovider.com include:_s00990212.autospf.email -all”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “s1”, “s2” and “mail”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
