dycomind.com website review

31 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.6 s.

Your mobile performance score is 77. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

About 392 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

5 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (105 KiB).

4 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, termly.io and Google Fonts and others), adding 445 KiB and 286 ms of main-thread time.

About 39 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 87 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

2 images could be 18 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

17 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

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 first text or image appears after 3.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Real visitors wait 2.5 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 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 text “Dycom Industries, Inc. (NYSE:DY) is a leading provider of s…”.

Visually, the page fills in at 4.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

The page becomes fully interactive after 5.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 94 ms to 89 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.9 s to 2.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.40 g of CO₂e: 48.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

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

Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark: 1 element on the page fails 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.

The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.

Headings skip levels (h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

Your meta description is 506 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

The homepage links to 71 pages on dycomind.com and 5 external pages.

Your Organization JSON-LD is missing sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

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.

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

/sustainability/safety and /about-us/safety all use the title “Dycom Employee Health & Safety: A Comprehensive Approach to Mitigatin…”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

/benefit-plan-disclosures has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

/sustainability/safety and /about-us/safety use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example /sustainability/safety, whose canonical is /about-us/safety. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 40 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

35 of 52 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'getRegistrations')”.

1 link from your homepage to your own site is broken, for example https://dycomind.com/sign-up-for-investor-email-alerts/ (network).

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

1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://dycomind.com/stock-quote-historical-price-lookup.

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.

dycomind.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.

dycomind.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.

No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

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.

The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

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 771 words of visible text.

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

We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.

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 and Google Tag Manager (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (Termly) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

Opening the homepage sets 3 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

Loading the homepage contacts 6 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
