dronefly.com website review

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, ZenDesk and Klaviyo and others), adding 1.6 MB and 856 ms of main-thread time.

Your mobile performance score is 85. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 700 ms.

About 691 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 495 ms of main-thread work and 528 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.

A phone's processor spends 2.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

ZenDesk costs a phone 202 ms of main-thread work and 431 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.

Shopify costs a phone 52 ms of main-thread work and 415 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.

4 images could be 90 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.

7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 197 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (23 KiB).

Polyfills for old browsers add 19 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

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.

The page becomes fully interactive after 14.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Real visitors wait 1.0 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 376 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

Your largest element takes 3.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

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

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 112 ms to 128 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 3.3 MB in 362 requests on a phone: scripts 1.6 MB (97), other files 1.1 MB (215) and images 273 KiB (12). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

1 image (40 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.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.94 g of CO₂e: 113.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

13 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: 2 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 on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

There are 2 <h1> headlines (“” and “Commercial Drone Solutions”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

Your meta description is 163 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

Structured data found (Organization, Store and WebSite) but with 2 problems, for example “Organization: logo is not an absolute URL ("//www.dronefly.com/cdn/shop/t/9/assets/logo.png?v=6460")”.

1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

The homepage links to 156 pages on dronefly.com and 6 external pages.

/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.

/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

/collections/all, /customer_authentication/redirect and /policies/shipping-policy have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

/customer_authentication/redirect has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 88 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://www.dronefly.com/customer_authentication/redirect?locale=en&region_country=US.

No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.

There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

Your longest form asks for 10 fields (2 required). Every extra field lowers completion.

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

The homepage carries about 559 words of visible text.

DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be dronefly.com is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.

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.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and LinkedIn Insight and 2 mores (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.

Opening the homepage sets 17 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

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.

Loading the homepage contacts 26 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
