Speed

12 to fix43
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    4.8 s · 1.7 MB

    About 1.7 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.8 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    2.5 s

    12 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.5 s.

  • Minify JavaScript

    1.6 s · 278 KiB

    278 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    1.5 s · 169 KiB

    About 169 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.5 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.2 s · 393 KiB

    20 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (393 KiB).

  • Mobile performance score: 43

    43/100

    Your mobile performance score is 43 (desktop: 34). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 7.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 7.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.9 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 5,366 HTML elements

    The page has 5,366 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Improve image delivery

    750 ms · 4.4 MB

    61 images could be 4.4 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Facebook and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 2.4 MB and 1.3 s of main-thread time.

  • Google CDN adds 425 ms

    425 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 425 ms of main-thread work and 1.5 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 Tag Manager adds 150 ms

    150 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 150 ms of main-thread work and 361 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

    250 ms · 56 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 56 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 250 ms faster on a phone.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 197 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    50 ms · 11 KiB

    11 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles. Google estimates it would make the page about 50 ms faster on a phone.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • 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: 72 ms

    72 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 72 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

10 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.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 41.9 s

    41.9 s

    Your largest element takes 41.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “nvidia_rtx_spark_preorder”.

  • Speed Index: 18.7 s

    18.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 18.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 59.2 s

    59.2 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 59.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 5.4 s

    5.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 5.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.16

    0.16

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.16 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user TTFB: 842 ms

    842 ms

    Real visitors wait 842 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Total Blocking Time: 379 ms

    379 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 379 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.11

    0.11

    The layout shifts by 0.11 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • 12 images without width and height

    12 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • Tap response (INP) got 14% slower for real visitors

    +14%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 121 ms to 138 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -4%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.3 s to 2.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

3 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 2.1 s

    2.1 s

    Real visitors wait 2.1 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 138 ms

    138 ms

    Real visitors wait 138 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.4 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

Images and page weight

5 to fix18
  • Page weight: 14.3 MB in 526 requests

    14.3 MB

    Your homepage downloads 14.3 MB in 526 requests on a phone: images 7.9 MB (109), scripts 4.5 MB (326) and other files 1.1 MB (63). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 2 images over 500 KB

    2 images weigh 1.3 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 12 images far larger than shown

    1.0 MB

    12 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example web_banner_rtx_spark_shop_now.jpg at 2,459 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 1.0 MB.

  • 40 images in older formats

    40 images (6.3 MB) 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.

  • 6 images below the first screen load straight away

    6 images further down the page (730 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 4.1 g of CO₂ per visit

    4.05 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 4.05 g of CO₂e: 486.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

10 to fixGoogle 8488
  • 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.

  • Interactive controls must not be nested (3 elements)

    Interactive controls must not be nested: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name (1 element)

    ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • Malformed lists

    Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.

  • 6 images without alt text

    6 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (3 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 6 form fields without a label

    6 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • 2 links without text

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

  • 1 tap target too small

    1 tap target is too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (1 element)

    Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

1 checks passed
  • 53 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 60 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 53 passed and 7 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 8588
  • Meta description is long (165 characters)

    Your meta description is 165 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • No social preview image

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

  • 4 links crawlers can't follow

    4 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

  • 1 link with vague text

    1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

  • 1,371 internal links, 10 external

    The homepage links to 1,371 pages on centralcomputer.com and 10 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Home Page”.

  • Title: 54 characters

    Your title is a healthy 54 characters: “Central Computers - Your Bay Area Local Computer Store”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: ComputerStore, LocalBusiness, WebPage and WebSite.

  • 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.centralcomputer.com/media/sitemap_category.xml.

AI search readiness

100
  • 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.

3 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 name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles) and description; contact details would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (2,808 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

100
  • 2 pages slow to respond

    /all-products.html and /all-products/cables.html took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 196 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

7 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    14 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.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 2 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • 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 2 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 8891
  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()”.

  • 8 distorted images

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

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

  • 2 low-resolution images

    2 images are served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    29 of 34 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

1 to fix94
  • No Content-Security-Policy

    No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • 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.

  • Deprecated X-XSS-Protection

    X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.

  • 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 (centralcomputer.com).

  • Valid certificate (42 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for centralcomputer.com and is valid for another 42 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

    X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.

  • HSTS enabled

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

  • http:// redirects to https

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

  • HTTP/2

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

  • All 50 links work

    All 50 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 10 external) answered without errors; 1 did not answer within 5 s.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    centralcomputer.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

    centralcomputer.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

    centralcomputer.com was registered in Sep 1995 through Network Solutions, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Sep 2027

    centralcomputer.com is registered until Sep 2027.

Content and conversion

5 to fix61
  • No call to action on the first screen

    On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

  • No social proof

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

  • 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.

  • Only about 154 words

    The homepage has only about 154 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • 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.

4 checks passed
  • 2 calls to action

    The homepage has 2 calls to action, for example “Subscribe” and “Contact Us”.

  • 6 short forms

    6 short forms (6 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, Microsoft Clarity and Hotjar.

  • LocalBusiness structured data

    Your homepage describes the business with LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants can read its address, hours and phone reliably.

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, and sends you reports.

  • 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 include:spf.smtp2go.com include:zcsend.net include:mailgun.org -all”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”, “selector2” and “s1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 9 trackers load before any consent

    9

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and Klaviyo and 4 mores (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.

  • 25 cookies set on arrival

    25

    Opening the homepage sets 25 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.

  • 39 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 39 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
