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
Improve image delivery
2.3 s · 2.7 MB7 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 KiB44 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (860 KiB).
audioeye-services.com adds 1.9 s
1.9 saudioeye-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 KiBAbout 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
33/100Your 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 msGoogle 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 ms10 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 msFacebook 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 KiBPolyfills 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 KiBAbout 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 KiB6 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.

Speed Index: 7.9 s
7.9 sVisually, 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.

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.011
0.011The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.011, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 6.6 MB in 155 requests
6.6 MBYour 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 gBy 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
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
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
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
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
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
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 yearscentier.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
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
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.
