Speed

9 to fix70
  • Main-thread work: 4.6 s

    A phone's processor spends 4.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Mobile performance score: 70

    70/100

    Your mobile performance score is 70. 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 Tag Manager, dealer-leads.ca and Clarity and others), adding 1.5 MB and 789 ms of main-thread time.

  • Render-blocking requests

    650 ms

    6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 650 ms.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    361 KiB

    About 361 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 296 ms

    296 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 296 ms of main-thread work and 506 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.

  • 10 long tasks on the main thread

    10 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 254 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 2,358 HTML elements

    The page has 2,358 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • gubagoo.io adds 18 ms

    18 ms

    gubagoo.io costs a phone 18 ms of main-thread work and 564 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 · 118 KiB

    4 images could be 118 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.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    53 KiB

    About 53 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    38 KiB

    9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (38 KiB).

  • Legacy JavaScript

    17 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 17 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • 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.

  • Minify JavaScript

    2 KiB

    2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 37 ms

    37 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 37 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix100
  • Time to Interactive: 17.9 s

    17.9 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 17.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 547 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 3.8 s

    3.8 s

    Your largest element takes 3.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “DK Ford dealership”.

  • Speed Index: 5.4 s

    5.4 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

9 checks passed

  • Real-user FCP: 0.8 s

    0.8 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 0.8 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 356 ms

  • Largest content (LCP) got 11% faster for real visitors

    -11%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.2 s to 1.0 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.047

    0.047

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.047, good is under 0.1).

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.2 s

    1.2 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.2 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 3.2 MB in 241 requests

    3.2 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.2 MB in 241 requests on a phone: other files 1.3 MB (127), scripts 1.1 MB (66) and fonts 276 KiB (8). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.90 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.90 g of CO₂e: 108.4 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

5 to fixGoogle 9393
  • 12 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 4 tap targets too small

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

  • Links must have discernible text (2 elements)

    Links must have discernible text: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious 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.

  • 15 form fields without a label

    15 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

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

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

1 checks passed
  • 49 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 passed and 4 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 9286
  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • Only 0 internal links

    The homepage links to only 0 pages on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.

  • 3 links with vague text

    3 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 149 characters

    Your meta description is 149 characters: “Shop new and used Ford vehicles at DK Ford in Leduc, AB. Explore trucks, SUVs, Ford service, and award-winning customer…”.

  • Title: 38 characters

    Your title is a healthy 38 characters: “Ford Dealership in Leduc, AB | DK Ford”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://dkford.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: AutoDealer, WebPage and WebSite.

  • Open Graph tags complete

    Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://dkford.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix75
  • Most text only appears after JavaScript runs

    0%

    A phone browser shows 500 words, but the HTML your server sends has only 0. GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot read that HTML without running JavaScript, so they see an almost empty page. Server-side rendering or pre-rendering fixes it.

3 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.

  • Organization data: 6 of 6 facts

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

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 7791
  • 24 small tap targets

    24 of 49 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • Deprecated browser APIs

    The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

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

100
  • 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.

6 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

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

  • Valid certificate (43 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for dkford.com and is valid for another 43 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

    X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.

  • Content-Security-Policy set

    A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://dkford.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

    dkford.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

    dkford.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 29 years old

    29 years

    dkford.com was registered in Apr 1997 through Tucows Domains Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Apr 2027

    dkford.com is registered until Apr 2027.

Content and conversion

3 to fix69
  • 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.

  • 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 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 500 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 500 words of visible text.

5 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Learn More about the President's Award” and “Call”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Microsoft Clarity.

  • Opening hours shown

    Your opening hours are on the homepage.

  • Phone number on the homepage

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

  • LocalBusiness structured data

    Your homepage describes the business with LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants can read its address, hours and phone reliably.

Email authentication

1 to fix75
  • DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be dkford.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 include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:dospf.simplepart.com include:_spf-us.ppe-hosted.com -all”.

  • DKIM signing found

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

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 5 trackers load before any consent

    5

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel and Microsoft Clarity (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.

  • 16 cookies set on arrival

    16

    Opening the homepage sets 16 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.

  • 24 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 24 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Apps on your store

Your storefront loads 2 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
