Speed

10 to fix67
  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, insent.ai and Facebook and others), adding 2.9 MB and 2.1 s of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    150 ms · 1.4 MB

    About 1.4 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 67

    67/100

    Your mobile performance score is 67. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    882 KiB

    33 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (882 KiB).

  • Google Tag Manager adds 648 ms

    648 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 648 ms of main-thread work and 671 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.

  • insent.ai adds 557 ms

    557 ms

    insent.ai costs a phone 557 ms of main-thread work and 1.1 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.

  • Facebook adds 424 ms

    424 ms

    Facebook costs a phone 424 ms of main-thread work and 560 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: 3.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 18 long tasks on the main thread

    18 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 306 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • posthog.com adds 238 ms

    238 ms

    posthog.com costs a phone 238 ms of main-thread work and 337 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.

  • Improve image delivery

    150 ms · 30 KiB

    2 images could be 30 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 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.

  • Server response: 33 ms

    33 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 33 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 3.8 MB in 180 requests

    3.8 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.8 MB in 180 requests on a phone: scripts 3.2 MB (61), fonts 276 KiB (7) and images 199 KiB (19). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.09 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.09 g of CO₂e: 130.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images load when needed

    Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.

  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

8 to fixGoogle 8389
  • 41 tap targets too small

    41 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • 3 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Malformed lists

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

  • Banner landmark should not be contained in another landmark (1 element)

    Banner landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Document should not have more than one banner landmark (1 element)

    Document should not have more than one banner landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 27 links without text

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

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

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

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 16 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 41 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: 41 passed and 9 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 10092
  • Meta description is long (232 characters)

    Your meta description is 232 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.

  • 115 internal links, 8 external

    The homepage links to 115 pages on construction.com and 8 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

AI search readiness

100
4 checks passed

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,277 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

100

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 10093
  • 3 small tap targets

    3 of 9 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

2 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

2 to fix86
  • 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.

5 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

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

  • Valid certificate (72 days left)

    The certificate from Amazon · Amazon RSA 2048 M01 verifies for construction.com and is valid for another 72 days.

  • http:// redirects to https

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

  • HTTP/2

    The server speaks HTTP/2, 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

    construction.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

    construction.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 28 years old

    28 years

    construction.com was registered in Nov 1997 through Amazon Registrar, Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Nov 2027

    construction.com is registered until Nov 2027.

Content and conversion

3 to fix64
  • 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.

  • 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 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.

  • 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 324 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 324 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • 9 calls to action

    The homepage has 9 calls to action, for example “Contact”, “Talk to an expert” and “Request a demo”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 4 phone links and 0 email links.

  • Phone number on the homepage

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

Email authentication

85
  • Email authentication score: 85/100

    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: quarantine

    DMARC tells receivers to quarantine mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.

  • SPF in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 mx include:us._netblocks.mimecast.com include:amazonses.com include:_spf.salesforce.com include:_spf.atlassian.n…”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”, “s1” and “s2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 7 trackers load before any consent

    7

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, LinkedIn Insight and Meta Pixel and 2 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.

  • 12 cookies set on arrival

    12

    Opening the homepage sets 12 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.

  • 35 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 35 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
