etczone.com website review

5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.2 s.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Facebook and Crazy Egg and others), adding 1.8 MB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.

About 730 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 480 ms faster on a phone.

About 131 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.

Your mobile performance score is 60. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

45 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (368 KiB).

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 392 ms of main-thread work and 561 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.

A phone's processor spends 2.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

amplifyapp.com costs a phone 147 ms of main-thread work and 387 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.

Google Maps costs a phone 125 ms of main-thread work and 340 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.

14 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 176 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).

40 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

1 image could be 29 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

Polyfills for old browsers add 29 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.

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 page becomes fully interactive after 19.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 9.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

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

Real visitors wait 3.6 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 123 ms to 164 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Real visitors see the first content after 2.2 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

Real visitors wait 1.8 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

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 “We use Hotjar to understand how visitors use our site and i…”. Most of its time is element render delay (2.4 s).

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 511 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

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

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.7 s to 2.8 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 2.9 MB in 122 requests on a phone: scripts 1.8 MB (57), fonts 644 KiB (14) and images 161 KiB (17). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.81 g of CO₂e: 97.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

10 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.

Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

1 link inside paragraphs relies on colour alone to stand out.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 8 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

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

Document should not have more than one banner landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

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 on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

5 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

Headings skip levels (h1 → h3, h2 → h4 and h4 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

The homepage links to 71 pages on etczone.com and 7 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.

/residential and /residential/internet have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

/business-referral, /residential, /residential/internet, /fibernow, /gpc-tv and /residential/phone and 3 others took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 48 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=187147487&Ver=2&mid=4cdc2cb1-4dec-47a2-8676-cb6800bd7dc5&bo=1&sid=00773260d6ec11f1ba45b3be310cef83&vid=00774de0d6ec11f18692651b90936f7a&vids=1&msclkid=N&pi=918639831&l.

5 of 9 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).

1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

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

1 link to other sites is dead, for example https://twitter.com/GPC_updates (404).

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

No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

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.

gpcom.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.

gpcom.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.

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.

Social proof on the homepage: 1 trust badge. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

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 459 words of visible text.

etczone.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.

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, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and HubSpot and 3 mores (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 17 cookies (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 35 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
