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
4.3 s · 535 KiBAbout 535 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.3 s faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
2.4 s · 441 KiB7 images could be 441 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.4 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.9 s29 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.9 s.
Mobile performance score: 55
55/100Your mobile performance score is 55 (desktop: 76). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Google Tag Manager and Other Google APIs/SDKs and others), adding 1.5 MB and 776 ms of main-thread time.
Google CDN adds 472 ms
472 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 472 ms of main-thread work and 767 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.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 78 KiBAbout 78 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 2.6 s
A phone's processor spends 2.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
13 long tasks on the main thread
13 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 117 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
50 ms · 10 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 10 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 50 ms faster on a phone.
Minify JavaScript
6 KiB6 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
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.

Server response: 2 ms
2 msYour server sent the HTML in 2 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
First Contentful Paint: 9.8 s
9.8 sThe first text or image appears after 9.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 17.2 s
17.2 sYour largest element takes 17.2 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: 17.2 s
17.2 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 17.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 9.8 s
9.8 sVisually, the page fills in at 9.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
3 images without width and height
3 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
-3%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 69 ms to 70 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors
Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).
Real-user LCP: 1.8 s
1.8 sReal visitors wait 1.8 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.
Real-user CLS: 0.02

Total Blocking Time: 110 ms
110 msScripts block the page for only 110 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.012
0.012The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.012, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.3 MB in 78 requests
3.3 MBYour homepage downloads 3.3 MB in 78 requests on a phone: scripts 1.5 MB (35), images 1.1 MB (18) and other files 350 KiB (4). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit
0.92 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.92 g of CO₂e: 110.6 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
2 text elements with low contrast
2 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
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.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
1 link without text
1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 6 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
45 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: 45 passed and 5 failed. 4 mores 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.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
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.
3 links crawlers can't follow
3 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
64 internal links, 3 external
The homepage links to 64 pages on deemfirst.com and 3 external pages.
5 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Call DEEM First For Your Electrical Mechanical Needs”.
Title: 60 characters
Your title is a healthy 60 characters: “DEEM Mechanical and Electrical Company Indianapolis, Indiana”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://deemfirst.com/.
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place.
XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://deemfirst.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.
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 (279 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
15 pages without a meta description
/about-us, /latest-news, /recent-job-photos, /services, /services/building-automation and /services/electrical 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 17 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
3 small tap targets
3 of 11 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
1 broken link to your own pages
1 link from your homepage to your own site is broken, for example https://deemfirst.com/?page_id=2261 (404).
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 security.txt
There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.
4 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (deemfirst.com).
Valid certificate (84 days left)
The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for deemfirst.com and is valid for another 84 days.
http:// redirects to https
http://deemfirst.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.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
deemfirst.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.
3 checks passed
Domain is 24 years old
24 yearsdeemfirst.com was registered in May 2002 through Network Solutions, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
DNSSEC is on
deemfirst.com's DNS answers are signed (DNSSEC), so they can't be forged on the way to visitors.
Registered until May 2028
deemfirst.com is registered until May 2028.
Content and conversion
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 calls to action
We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.
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.
Only about 204 words
The homepage has only about 204 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.
Phone number is not tap-to-call
Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.
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.
3 checks passed
2 short forms
2 short forms (7 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Analytics.
Phone number on the homepage
Your phone number is on the homepage.
Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be deemfirst.com is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.
Email authentication score: 75/100
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 ip4:209.43.21.102 ip4:64.85.132.161/28 ip4:65.58.71.145/29 include:spf.ess.barracudanetworks.com include:spf.pro…”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1” and “selector2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
2 trackers load before any consent
2Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (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.
4 cookies set on arrival
4Opening the homepage sets 4 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.
11 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 11 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
