Not measured in this review.

• Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

  Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on your site (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

• Real-user INP: 260 ms

  Real visitors wait 260 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

• Page weight: 36.5 MB

  36.5 MB

  Your homepage downloads 36.5 MB on a phone, 31.6 MB of it images (87%). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

• 7 images over 500 KB

  7 images weigh 5.9 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  Elements (5)

• 9 images far larger than shown

  1.1 MB

  9 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example card-meat-knuckles-aluminum-alloy-dalstrong_73e5b201-bbb8-47 at 1,108 px wide, shown at 300 px. Resized copies would save about 1.1 MB.

  Elements (5)

• 39 images in older formats

  39 images (11.7 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.

  Elements (5)

• About 10.3 g of CO₂ per visit

  10.34 g

  By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 10.34 g of CO₂e: 1241.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

• 7 buttons without a name

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

  Elements (3)

• 34 tap targets too small

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

  Elements (3)

• 15 text elements with low contrast

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

  Elements (3)

• Interactive controls must not be nested (11 elements)

  Interactive controls must not be nested: 11 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  Elements (3)

• Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes (1 element)

  Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  Elements (1)

• Frames without titles

  1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.

  Elements (1)

• Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)

  Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  Elements (1)

• Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (26 elements)

  Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 26 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  Elements (3)

• 1 link without text

  1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.

  Elements (1)

• Headings skip levels

  Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

• Meta description is long (176 characters)

  Your meta description is 176 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  View source

• 545 internal links, 12 external

  The homepage links to 545 pages on dalstrong.com and 12 external pages.

• 5 pages without a meta description

  /pages/katalyst, /pages/loyalty-rewards, /pages/reviews, /pages/bulk-orders and /pages/custom-order have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  Elements (5)

• 5 pages without an H1

  /collections/pro-chef, /pages/frequently-asked-questions, /pages/warranty, /pages/loyalty-rewards and /blogs/news have 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 168 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

• 74 small tap targets

  74 of 240 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 “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_CONNECTION_RESET”.

• Short HSTS lifetime

  HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

• 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.

• No CAA record

  dalstrong.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

  dalstrong.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.

• 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.

  View source

• 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 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 1,849 words of copy

  The homepage carries about 1,849 words of visible text.

• Urgency cues

  The page uses urgency cues (a countdown or limited-time wording).

• Email authentication score: 95/100

  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.

• 9 trackers load before any consent

  Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Amazon Ads, Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager 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.

• 42 cookies set on arrival

  42

  Opening the homepage sets 42 cookies, 4 of them by other companies (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.

• 61 other companies contacted

  Loading the homepage contacts 61 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
