Speed
Render-blocking requests
450 ms2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.
Improve image delivery
200 ms · 39 KiB6 images could be 39 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
150 ms · 31 KiBAbout 31 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Font display
100 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).
1 long task on the main thread
1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 70 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
13 KiBAbout 13 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
3 KiB1 file is served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (3 KiB).
1 third-party service on the page
1 third-party service load with your homepage (Shopify), adding 8 KiB and 1 ms of main-thread time.

Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 2.8 s
2.8 sYour largest element takes 2.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.
Not enough real-visitor data yet
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.

Images and page weight
About 0.3 g of CO₂ per visit
0.33 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.33 g of CO₂e: 39.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
4 checks passed
Page weight: 1.2 MB in 102 requests
1.2 MBYour homepage downloads 1.2 MB in 102 requests on a phone: other files 713 KiB (73), images 244 KiB (14) and scripts 144 KiB (10). That is a lean page.
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
1 text element with low contrast
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 (1 element)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 10 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
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. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Meta description is long (225 characters)
Your meta description is 225 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
No favicon declared
No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.
4 links with vague text
4 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
37 internal links, 1 external
The homepage links to 37 pages on escaperc.com and 1 external page.
6 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Escape RC”.
Title: 39 characters
Your title is a healthy 39 characters: “Escape RC - What RC cars should be like”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://escaperc.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: Organization and WebSite.
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://escaperc.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)
Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, 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.
3 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.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (530 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
4 pages without a meta description
/blogs/whatsup, /blogs/whatsup/tagged/buchanan, /blogs/whatsup/tagged/racing and /blogs/whatsup/tagged/short-course have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
2 links to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 2 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example /collections/frontpage/products/buchananshortcoursertr-kit, whose canonical is /products/buchananshortcoursertr-kit. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
Short HSTS lifetime
HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.
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.
Deprecated X-XSS-Protection
X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.
No security.txt
There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.
7 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (escaperc.com).
Valid certificate (49 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE2 verifies for escaperc.com and is valid for another 49 days.
Protected from clickjacking
X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.
Content-Security-Policy set
A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
http:// redirects to https
http://escaperc.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2 and HTTP/3
The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.
All 22 links work
All 22 links checked from your homepage (21 internal, 1 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
escaperc.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
escaperc.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
Domain is 8 years old
8 yearsescaperc.com was registered in Mar 2018 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Mar 2027
escaperc.com is registered until Mar 2027.
Content and conversion
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 analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
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 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 477 words of copy
The homepage carries about 477 words of visible text.
1 checks passed
2 short forms
2 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.
Email authentication
No DMARC policy
escaperc.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 SPF record
escaperc.com has no SPF record, so mail servers can't tell which servers may send email as you. Your mail lands in spam more often, and anyone can send mail pretending to be you.
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: 0/100
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.
Privacy and tracking
