electriclighting.com website review

22 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.9 s.

About 359 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.9 s faster on a phone.

About 134 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.4 s faster on a phone.

Your mobile performance score is 59 (desktop: 83). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

2 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager and Google Fonts), adding 199 KiB and 65 ms of main-thread time.

2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 66 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).

Polyfills for old browsers add 14 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.

Your largest element takes 10.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “NEW YORK EXPLORE LINE CARD”.

The first text or image appears after 4.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

The page becomes fully interactive after 10.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 6.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

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.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.52 g of CO₂e: 61.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

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

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

No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

The homepage links to 23 pages on electriclighting.com and 4 external pages.

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.

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

/line-card-new-jersey has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

/company-history has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

/line-card-nyc, /line-card-new-jersey and /line-card-philadelphia have under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

We fetched 9 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

7 of 21 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

Large scripts ship without source maps.

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

No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://www.facebook.com/pages/category/Building-Materials/Electric-Lighting-Agencies-100230788728208/.

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

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

electriclighting.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.

electriclighting.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.

On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.

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

The homepage has only about 92 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

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

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 Tag Manager (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 1 cookie (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 3 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
