Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
4.2 s · 881 KiB107 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (881 KiB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.2 s · 891 KiBAbout 891 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.2 s faster on a phone.
dealeron.com adds 2.7 s
2.7 sdealeron.com costs a phone 2.7 s of main-thread work and 110 KiB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
Render-blocking requests
1.4 s10 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.
Mobile performance score: 35
35/100Your mobile performance score is 35. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 9.2 s
A phone's processor spends 9.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 6.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
4,100 HTML elements
The page has 4,100 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (dealeron.com, Google Tag Manager and Facebook and others), adding 2.6 MB and 4.3 s of main-thread time.
Google Tag Manager adds 685 ms
685 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 685 ms of main-thread work and 1.1 MB 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.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 376 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
300 ms · 74 KiB2 images could be 74 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Facebook adds 283 ms
283 msFacebook costs a phone 283 ms of main-thread work and 278 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.
gubagoo.io adds 19 ms
19 msgubagoo.io costs a phone 19 ms of main-thread work and 536 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.
Minify JavaScript
150 ms · 18 KiB18 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Reduce unused CSS
55 KiBAbout 55 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
21 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 21 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.

Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 17.8 s
17.8 sYour largest element takes 17.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “B2G2”.

First Contentful Paint: 3.8 s
3.8 sThe first text or image appears after 3.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
54 images without width and height
54 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.036
0.036The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.036, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.3 MB in 243 requests
4.3 MBYour homepage downloads 4.3 MB in 243 requests on a phone: scripts 2.4 MB (69), images 887 KiB (90) and other files 736 KiB (67). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit
1.23 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.23 g of CO₂e: 147.6 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
Invalid ARIA attributes
1 element use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (18 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 18 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Heading levels should only increase by one (1 element)
Heading levels should only increase by one: 1 element on the page fails 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.
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.
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.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 182 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
46 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 6 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
Title is long (91 characters)
Your title is 91 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Ed Morse Auto Group | New and Used Buick, Cadillac, and Ford Dealership in Delray Beach, …”.
Meta description is long (194 characters)
Your meta description is 194 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
Structured data has 1 problem
Structured data found (AutomotiveBusiness and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “WebSite: missing name”.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
2 links crawlers can't follow
2 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.
125 internal links, 523 external
The homepage links to 125 pages on edmorse.com and 523 external pages.
3 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.edmorse.com/.
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.edmorse.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
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.
Parts of the site are closed to 6 AI crawlers
Your robots.txt lets ChatGPT search (OAI-SearchBot), ChatGPT (ChatGPT-User), Claude search (Claude-SearchBot), Claude (Claude-User), Perplexity (PerplexityBot) and Perplexity (Perplexity-User) read the homepage but closes other sections to them, so answers about those pages can't cite you.
2 checks passed
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (6,858 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (25 KiB, 63 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
12 pages share 2 titles
/serviceappmt.aspx, /hours.aspx, /contactus.aspx, /new-car-specials, /fleet-sales and /lease-return-program and 4 others all use the title “Ed Morse Auto Group is a Delray Beach Alfa Romeo, Buick, Cadillac, Ch…”, and 1 other title repeat too. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
12 pages share a meta description
/serviceappmt.aspx, /hours.aspx, /contactus.aspx, /new-car-specials, /fleet-sales and /lease-return-program and 4 others use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
3 links to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 3 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example /serviceappmt.aspx, whose canonical is /service-parts. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
1 page without an H1
/trade.aspx has 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 38 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
4 checks passed
Linked pages load
All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.
Every page has a meta description

No console errors
No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.
Tap targets are thumb-sized
50 of 53 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set

Security and trust
2 broken links to your own pages
2 links from your homepage to your own site are broken, for example https://www.edmorse.com/trade.aspx (404).
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.
Short HSTS lifetime
HSTS is set, but max-age is 90 days; one year is the recommended minimum.
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 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.
4 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (edmorse.com).
Valid certificate (48 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YR2 verifies for edmorse.com and is valid for another 48 days.
http:// redirects to https
http://edmorse.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2
The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
edmorse.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
edmorse.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

Registered until Mar 2029
edmorse.com is registered until Mar 2029.

DMARC policy: reject
DMARC tells receivers to reject mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.
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:spf.ess.barracudanetworks.com -all”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1” and “selector2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
