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
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.1 s · 609 KiBAbout 609 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.4 s4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Facebook and brandcdn.com and others), adding 1.4 MB and 1.2 s of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
400 ms · 635 KiB11 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (635 KiB).
Mobile performance score: 58
58/100Your mobile performance score is 58. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Google Tag Manager adds 768 ms
768 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 768 ms of main-thread work and 924 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 · 498 KiB3 images could be 498 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.
Legacy JavaScript
300 ms · 31 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 31 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 2.4 s
A phone's processor spends 2.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
14 long tasks on the main thread
14 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 198 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
53 KiBAbout 53 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Font display
50 msWeb 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.
1 checks passed
Server response: 79 ms
79 msYour server sent the HTML in 79 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
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.
Time to Interactive: 19.2 s
19.2 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 19.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 6.4 s
6.4 sYour largest element takes 6.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “SUPPLY CHAIN SERVICES Danos Awarded Shell Integrated Wareho…”.
Real-user LCP: 2.5 s
2.5 sReal visitors wait 2.5 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.
Real-user FCP: 2.0 s
2.0 sReal visitors see the first content after 2.0 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
Real-user TTFB: 914 ms
914 msReal visitors wait 914 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
Total Blocking Time: 536 ms
536 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 536 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
First Contentful Paint: 2.6 s
2.6 sThe first text or image appears after 2.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Speed Index: 4.2 s
4.2 sVisually, the page fills in at 4.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
2 images without width and height
2 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 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 119 ms to 129 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
+3%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.4 s to 2.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
1 image over 500 KB
Luis_Otero_PR.png weighs 488 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
Page weight: 3.4 MB in 123 requests
3.4 MBYour homepage downloads 3.4 MB in 123 requests on a phone: scripts 1.6 MB (24), images 1.5 MB (33) and other files 138 KiB (51). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image in older formats
1 image (488 KiB) is 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.
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (488 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
1 image far larger than shown
136 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example Luis_Otero_PR.png at 1,200 px wide, shown at 340 px. Resized copies would save about 136 KiB.
About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit
0.97 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.97 g of CO₂e: 116.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
Hidden but focusable
3 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
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.
<html> element must have a lang attribute (1 element)
<html> element must have a lang attribute: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (5 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 5 elements on the page fail 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.
The skip-link target should exist and be focusable (1 element)
The skip-link target should exist and be focusable: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
No page language
The <html> element has no lang attribute, so screen readers may read the page in the wrong voice and accent.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (9 elements).
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 2 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
48 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 54 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 48 passed and 6 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No meta description
No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.
Title is short (20 characters)
Your title is only 20 characters: “Danos Does it Right.”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
10 H1 headlines
There are 10 <h1> headlines (“Distribution Center opens 30 miles north of Port …”, “Danos Awarded Shell Integrated Warehouse Contract” and “Danos Acquires AXion Logistics, Expanding Supply …”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
No canonical URL
No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.
5 links crawlers can't follow
5 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
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.
Open Graph partly set
Open Graph is missing og:description, so shared links fall back to guesses.
116 internal links, 31 external
The homepage links to 116 pages on danos.com and 31 external pages.
2 checks passed
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place.
XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.danos.com/sitemap.xml.
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.
Opted out of AI training for 5 crawlers
robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended and CCBot, which collect pages to train models. That's a legitimate choice and doesn't by itself stop the site appearing in AI answers, which the crawlers above handle.
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 (756 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
15 pages without a meta description
/services, /services/automation, /services/coastal-restoration, /services/decommissioning, /services/instrumentation-electrical and /services/mechanical-maintenance and 9 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 40 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 broken images
2 images failed to load on a phone, for example https://jelly.mdhv.io/v1/star.gif?pid=N9HAXBJMOzI8UUApkUVGxnOq6MLs&src=mh&evt=hi.
2 third-party cookies
2 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.
2 JavaScript errors while loading
2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Mixed Content: The page at 'https://www.danos.com/' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure script 'http://tag…”.
Browser-reported issues
Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Mixed content”).
2 checks passed
Tap targets are thumb-sized
15 of 15 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
1 broken external link
1 link to other sites is dead, for example http://twitter.com/ (520).
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 (danos.com).
Valid certificate (73 days left)
The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for danos.com and is valid for another 73 days.
HSTS enabled
Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.
http:// redirects to https
http://danos.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2
The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
danos.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
danos.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 yearsdanos.com was registered in Dec 1997 through Network Solutions, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Dec 2029
danos.com is registered until Dec 2029.
Content and conversion
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 form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
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 565 words of copy
The homepage carries about 565 words of visible text.
4 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Contact Us”.
12 calls to action
The homepage has 12 calls to action, for example “Apply Now | Field Positions”, “Apply Now | Staff Positions” and “Media Contact”.
Social proof on the page
Social proof on the homepage: 1 testimonial or review block and 1 customer or partner logo.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics.
Email authentication
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 ip4:206.124.198.133 include:us._netblocks.mimecast.com include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:email.freshser…”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “k2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
5 trackers load before any consent
5Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel and The Trade Desk (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.
7 cookies set on arrival
7Opening the homepage sets 7 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
No consent tool detected
