Speed

6 to fix17
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    7.5 s · 1.6 MB

    About 1.6 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 7.5 s faster on a phone.

  • Avoid multiple page redirects

    3.2 s

    The page goes through 1 redirect before it starts loading, costing about 3.2 s. Link and advertise the final URL directly.

  • Mobile performance score: 17

    17/100

    Your mobile performance score is 17 (desktop: 46). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 6.8 s

    A phone's processor spends 6.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 373 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 170 ms

    170 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 170 ms of main-thread work and 388 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.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 182 KiB

    About 182 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.

  • 4 third-party services on the page

    4 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Google Optimize and Hotjar and others), adding 508 KiB and 254 ms of main-thread time.

  • Phones get a much slower page than desktops

    Desktop scores 46 but mobile only 17. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

  • Server response: 84 ms

    84 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 84 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

11 to fix33
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    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.

  • First Contentful Paint: 14.3 s

    14.3 s

    The first text or image appears after 14.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 25.3 s

    25.3 s

    Your largest element takes 25.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 34.6 s

    34.6 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 34.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 14.3 s

    14.3 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 14.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 1.4 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.258

    0.258

    The layout shifts by 0.258 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user LCP: 3.0 s

    3.0 s

    Real visitors wait 3.0 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.13

    0.13

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.13 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 2.5 s

    2.5 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.5 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 1 image without width and height

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

2 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 103 ms

    103 ms

    Real visitors wait 103 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user TTFB: 591 ms

    591 ms

    Real visitors wait 591 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 4.7 MB in 177 requests

    4.7 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.7 MB in 177 requests on a phone: scripts 3.7 MB (84), stylesheets 353 KiB (22) and other files 227 KiB (42). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 1.3 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.32 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.32 g of CO₂e: 159.0 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

2 to fixGoogle 9597
  • 3 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Heading levels should only increase by one (2 elements)

    Heading levels should only increase by one: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).

1 checks passed
  • 45 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 47 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 2 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

8 to fixGoogle 8559
  • No meta description

    No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • No H1 headline

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

  • Title is short (9 characters)

    Your title is only 9 characters: “Xos | EMV”. 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 social preview image

    No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • Only 0 internal links

    The homepage links to only 0 pages on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.

  • 1 link with vague text

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

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

2 checks passed
  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.emvauto.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

2 to fix63
  • Most text only appears after JavaScript runs

    0%

    A phone browser shows 645 words, but the HTML your server sends has only 0. GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot read that HTML without running JavaScript, so they see an almost empty page. Server-side rendering or pre-rendering fixes it.

  • 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.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 7391
  • 1 third-party cookie

    1 third-party cookie is set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://static1.squarespace.com/static/versioned-site-css/6334c9da00f79124428d327f/191/5c5…”.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    13 of 15 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

1 to fix92
  • 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.

  • 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.

5 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

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

  • Valid certificate (30 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YR2 verifies for emvauto.com and is valid for another 30 days.

  • HSTS enabled

    Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://emvauto.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2

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

Domain and trust

  • DNSSEC is off

    emvauto.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.

3 checks passed
  • Domain is 9 years old

    9 years

    emvauto.com was registered in Jun 2017 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Certificate issuers are restricted

    CAA records allow only letsencrypt.org, pki.goog, sectigo.com and globalsign.com to issue certificates for emvauto.com, so a mis-issued certificate from anyone else is refused.

  • Registered until Jun 2027

    emvauto.com is registered until Jun 2027.

Content and conversion

4 to fix30
  • 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.

  • No calls to action

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

  • No social proof

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

  • No direct contact details

    No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

  • 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.

  • About 645 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 645 words of visible text.

1 checks passed
  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics and Hotjar.

Email authentication

2 to fix40
  • No DMARC policy

    emvauto.com has no DMARC record, so nothing tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF or DKIM. Gmail and Yahoo require DMARC from bulk senders.

  • No DKIM key on the usual selectors

    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 score: 40/100

    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.

1 checks passed
  • 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 -all”.

Privacy and tracking

  • 4 trackers load before any consent

    4

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Hotjar (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (OneTrust) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 10 cookies set on arrival

    10

    Opening the homepage sets 10 cookies, 4 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 20 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 20 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: OneTrust

    A consent management tool (OneTrust) loads with the page.
