Speed

9 to fix42
  • Render-blocking requests

    2.0 s

    15 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.0 s.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.7 s · 350 KiB

    About 350 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.7 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.4 s · 367 KiB

    32 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (367 KiB).

  • Mobile performance score: 42

    42/100

    Your mobile performance score is 42. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • 6 third-party services on the page

    6 third-party services load with your homepage (Weebly, Google Tag Manager and Facebook and others), adding 1.0 MB and 1.2 s of main-thread time.

  • Weebly adds 576 ms

    576 ms

    Weebly costs a phone 576 ms of main-thread work and 657 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.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 322 ms

    322 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 322 ms of main-thread work and 184 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.

  • Facebook adds 287 ms

    287 ms

    Facebook costs a phone 287 ms of main-thread work and 214 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.

  • 8 long tasks on the main thread

    8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 256 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 23 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 23 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    130 KiB

    1 image could be 130 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Font display

    100 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    29 KiB

    About 29 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.8 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.1 s of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 4 ms

    4 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix45
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 9.1 s

    9.1 s

    Your largest element takes 9.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Promotional Products Marketing Studio Tell us a little bit …”.

  • First Contentful Paint: 4.4 s

    4.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 4.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 9.2 s

    9.2 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 9.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 863 ms

    863 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 863 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Speed Index: 6.0 s

    6.0 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 6.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 5 images without width and height

    5 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • Not enough real-visitor data yet

    Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

1 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.003

    0.003

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.003, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix90
  • 5 images in older formats

    5 images (624 KiB) 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.

  • 1 image below the first screen load straight away

    1 image further down the page (184 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.49 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.49 g of CO₂e: 59.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • Page weight: 1.7 MB in 53 requests

    1.7 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.7 MB in 53 requests on a phone: scripts 821 KiB (14), images 808 KiB (15) and fonts 90 KiB (7). That is a lean page.

  • 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 8688
  • Images must have alternative text (1 element)

    Images must have alternative text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • 5 text elements with low contrast

    5 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 (7 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 7 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.

  • Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)

    Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

1 checks passed
  • 23 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 28 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 23 passed and 5 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

6 to fixGoogle 8372
  • No H1 headline

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

  • Title is short (14 characters)

    Your title is only 14 characters: “DKG Promotions”. 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.

  • No canonical URL

    No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.

  • No favicon declared

    No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.

  • 4 links crawlers can't follow

    4 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 set, so this is minor.

  • 51 internal links, 10 external

    The homepage links to 51 pages on dkgpromotions.com and 10 external pages.

4 checks passed
  • Meta description: 132 characters

    Your meta description is 132 characters: “DKG Promotions is a small, agile promotional products studio specializing in branding and marketing solutions for your …”.

  • 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://www.dkgpromotions.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix83
  • 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.

1 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.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 15 pages without a meta description

    /services.html, /resources.html, /quick-quote-form.html, /conference-quote-form.html, /proposal.html and /artwork-specifications.html and 9 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 15 pages without an H1

    /services.html, /resources.html, /quick-quote-form.html, /conference-quote-form.html, /proposal.html and /artwork-specifications.html and 9 others 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 20 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 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.

  • 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
  • 4 small tap targets

    4 of 16 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

5 to fix63
  • 1 broken link to your own pages

    1 link from your homepage to your own site is broken, for example https://www.dkgpromotions.com/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection (404).

  • http:// does not redirect

    http://dkgpromotions.com does not redirect to https, so some visitors land on the insecure version.

  • 1 broken external link

    1 link to other sites is dead, for example https://discovery.ariba.com/profile/AN11178790925 (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.

  • 2 links through redirect chains

    2 links go through two or more redirects, for example https://facebook.com/dkgpromotions.

  • 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.

3 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

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

  • Valid certificate (89 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for dkgpromotions.com and is valid for another 89 days.

  • HTTP/2

    The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    dkgpromotions.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

    dkgpromotions.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 21 years old

    21 years

    dkgpromotions.com was registered in Jun 2005 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Jun 2027

    dkgpromotions.com is registered until Jun 2027.

Content and conversion

3 to fix60
  • 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.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 1 trust badge. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • Only about 74 words

    The homepage has only about 74 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • 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 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.

2 checks passed
  • 18 calls to action

    The homepage has 18 calls to action, for example “Quick Quote Form”, “Conference Quote Form” and “Proposal Request”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics and Meta Pixel.

Email authentication

1 to fix70
  • DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be dkgpromotions.com is still delivered. Add a report address, check the reports, then move to quarantine.

  • Email authentication score: 70/100

    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 in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “k1” and “k2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 4 trackers load before any consent

    4

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

  • 6 cookies set on arrival

    6

    Opening the homepage sets 6 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.

Upkeep, stack and company

  • It loads jQuery 1.8.3, older than 3.5 (which fixed known security holes).
