Speed

11 to fix46
  • Render-blocking requests

    4.2 s

    157 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 4.2 s.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.7 s · 464 KiB

    About 464 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.7 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.9 s · 960 KiB

    187 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (960 KiB).

  • Mobile performance score: 46

    46/100

    Your mobile performance score is 46 (desktop: 39). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Facebook and Accessibe Accessibility Overlay and others), adding 1.6 MB and 922 ms of main-thread time.

  • Improve image delivery

    450 ms · 200 KiB

    5 images could be 200 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    600 ms · 47 KiB

    About 47 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 347 ms

    347 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 347 ms of main-thread work and 467 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.

  • Main-thread work: 3.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Minify CSS

    300 ms · 9 KiB

    9 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • FontAwesome CDN adds 136 ms

    136 ms

    FontAwesome CDN costs a phone 136 ms of main-thread work and 577 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.

  • 11 long tasks on the main thread

    11 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 195 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 35 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 35 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Minify JavaScript

    150 ms · 8 KiB

    8 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 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: 20 ms

    20 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 20 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

10 to fix33
  • 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.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.46

    0.46

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.46 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • First Contentful Paint: 9.0 s

    9.0 s

    The first text or image appears after 9.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 19.7 s

    19.7 s

    Your largest element takes 19.7 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: 19.9 s

    19.9 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 19.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 9.0 s

    9.0 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 9.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Real-user LCP: 3.4 s

    3.4 s

    Real visitors wait 3.4 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.9 s

    1.9 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.9 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 417 ms

    417 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 417 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 8 images without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) got 12% slower for real visitors

    +12%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 136 ms to 153 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 11% slower for real visitors

    +11%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.4 s to 2.8 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

3 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 161 ms

    161 ms

    Real visitors wait 161 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user TTFB: 604 ms

    604 ms

    Real visitors wait 604 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

2 to fix75
  • Page weight: 3.6 MB in 222 requests

    3.6 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.6 MB in 222 requests on a phone: scripts 1.7 MB (25), images 1.4 MB (22) and stylesheets 302 KiB (155). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image far larger than shown

    61 KiB

    1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example national_brand_horizontal_1color.png at 1,917 px wide, shown at 300 px. Resized copies would save about 61 KiB.

  • 2 images in older formats

    2 images (169 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.

  • 2 images below the first screen load straight away

    2 images further down the page (106 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.01 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.01 g of CO₂e: 121.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

8 to fixGoogle 8288
  • 2 buttons without a name

    2 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • Links look like plain text

    1 link inside paragraphs relies on colour alone to stand out.

  • 1 tap target too small

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

  • 1 image without alt text

    1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (8 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 8 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.

  • Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)

    Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 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
  • 42 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 50 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 42 passed and 8 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

5 to fixGoogle 8577
  • No H1 headline

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

  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • Meta description is long (250 characters)

    Your meta description is 250 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 2 links with vague text

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

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

  • 140 internal links, 27 external

    The homepage links to 140 pages on choptankelectric.com and 27 external pages.

4 checks passed
  • Title: 36 characters

    Your title is a healthy 36 characters: “Home | Choptank Electric Cooperative”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://choptankelectric.coop/.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://choptankelectric.coop/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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.

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

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 14 pages without a meta description

    /co-op-difference, /governance, /board-directors, /executive-staff, /employment and /financial-information and 8 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 44 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • 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 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 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9687
  • 3 small tap targets

    3 of 15 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 4 JavaScript errors while loading

    4 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Unexpected token '<'”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

100
  • No security.txt

    There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

8 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (choptankelectric.coop).

  • Valid certificate (83 days left)

    The certificate from Starfield Technologies · Starfield TLS Intermediate CA DV - R1v1 verifies for choptankelectric.com and is valid for another 83 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

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

  • 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://choptankelectric.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 48 links work

    All 48 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 8 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    choptankelectric.coop 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

    choptankelectric.coop'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 24 years old

    24 years

    choptankelectric.coop was registered in Dec 2001 through Domains.coop Limited. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Jan 2029

    choptankelectric.coop is registered until Jan 2029.

Content and conversion

4 to fix72
  • 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 analytics detected

    No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

  • Only about 166 words

    The homepage has only about 166 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.

5 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Register here”.

  • 9 calls to action

    The homepage has 9 calls to action, for example “Contact Us”, “Apply for Service” and “Register here”.

  • 1 short form

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

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 0 email links.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.

Email authentication

1 to fix50
  • No DMARC policy

    choptankelectric.com has no DMARC record, so nothing tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF or DKIM. Gmail and Yahoo require DMARC from bulk senders.

  • Email authentication score: 50/100

    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:icpbounce.com include:_spf.crowdfiber.com include:spf.protection.outlook.com -all”.

  • DKIM signing found

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

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 4 trackers load before any consent

    4

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and Meta Pixel (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.

  • 13 cookies set on arrival

    13

    Opening the homepage sets 13 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.

  • 16 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 16 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Upkeep, stack and company

No signs of neglect in what was checked: the copyright year, CMS and plugin versions, and jQuery.
