Live view · interaction off

Speed

8 to fix55
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    4.3 s · 535 KiB

    About 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 KiB

    7 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 s

    29 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.9 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 55

    55/100

    Your 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 ms

    Google 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 KiB

    About 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 KiB

    Polyfills 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 KiB

    6 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 2 ms

    2 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 2 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix100
  • First Contentful Paint: 9.8 s

    9.8 s

    The 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 s

    Your 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 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 17.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 9.8 s

    9.8 s

    Visually, 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).

7 checks passed
  • 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 s

    Real visitors wait 1.8 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.02

    0.02

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.02 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.0 s

    1.0 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.0 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 24% faster for real visitors

    -24%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.5 s to 1.1 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Total Blocking Time: 110 ms

    110 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 110 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.012

    0.012

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.012, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 3.3 MB in 78 requests

    3.3 MB

    Your 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 g

    By 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

6 to fixGoogle 8793
  • 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

4 to fixGoogle 8581
  • 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

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

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 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

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 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

3 to fix71
  • 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 years

    deemfirst.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

5 to fix50
  • 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

1 to fix75
  • 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

1 to fix
  • 2 trackers load before any consent

    2

    Before 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

    4

    Opening 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.
