Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.1 MB
4.1 MBYour homepage downloads 4.1 MB on a phone, 2.3 MB of it images (55%). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image far larger than shown
63 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example MNBest_2026_Gold_Winner_logo_TM-480x509.png at 480 px wide, shown at 41 px. Resized copies would save about 63 KiB.
3 images in older formats
3 images (141 KiB) are JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.
About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit
1.17 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.17 g of CO₂e: 140.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Accessibility
8 text elements with low contrast
8 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
1 image without alt text
1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (6 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 6 elements on the page fail 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.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
3 links without text
3 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
34 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 41 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 34 passed and 7 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
3 H1 headlines
There are 3 <h1> headlines (“We’ll Do The Heavy Lifting”, “Let’s Chat!” and “Why You Should Choose Everlight Solar”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
39 internal links, 11 external
The homepage links to 39 pages on everlightsolar.com and 11 external pages.
7 checks passed
Meta description: 153 characters
Your meta description is 153 characters: “Everlight Solar™ is the Solar Company dedicated to providing you with the best solar panel installation cost, helping y…”.
Title: 64 characters
Your title is a healthy 64 characters: “Solar Company | Solar Panel Installation Cost | Everlight Solar™”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://everlightsolar.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, ImageObject, WebPage and WebSite.
Open Graph tags complete
Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.
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://everlightsolar.com/sitemap_index.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.
2 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 (323 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
10 pages without a meta description
/locations, /products, /about-us, /learn, /jobs and /customer-support and 4 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
8 pages without an H1
/locations, /about-us, /learn, /jobs, /customer-support and /solar-certified-realtors and 2 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
1 page with very little text
/locations has 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.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 25 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
5 checks passed
Linked pages load
14 pages of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).
Canonical URLs point to themselves
No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.
Titles are unique
Every page we checked has its own title.
No linked page is hidden from search
None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.
Every page has a title
All 14 pages that loaded have a <title>.
Best practices
Scrolls sideways on phones
On a 390 px-wide phone the page scrolls sideways, a sign that something is wider than the screen.
1 JavaScript error while loading
1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.
2 checks passed
Tap targets are thumb-sized
5 of 5 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
No HSTS header
No Strict-Transport-Security header, so browsers may still try plain http first on a return visit.
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.
5 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (everlightsolar.com).
Valid certificate (68 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE2 verifies for everlightsolar.com and is valid for another 68 days.
http:// redirects to https
http://everlightsolar.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 39 links work
All 39 links checked from your homepage (29 internal, 10 external) answered without errors; 13 did not answer within 5 s.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
everlightsolar.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.
Content and conversion
Local business without LocalBusiness data
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.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
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 295 words of copy
The homepage carries about 295 words of visible text.
6 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Learn More”.
4 calls to action
The homepage has 4 calls to action, for example “Shop”, “Learn More” and “Request Consultation”.
Social proof on the page
Social proof on the homepage: 30 customer or partner logos and 6 trust badges.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Analytics, Meta Pixel and Cloudflare Web Analytics.
Direct contact links
Visitors can reach you directly: 6 phone links and 0 email links.
Phone number on the homepage
Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.
Email authentication
Email authentication score: 95/100
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.
3 checks passed
DMARC policy: reject
DMARC tells receivers to reject mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.
SPF in place (~all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 mx include:_spf.salesforce.com include:_spf.google.com include:mg-spf.greenhouse.io include:aspmx.pardot.com ~all”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “google”, “k2” and “s1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
4 trackers load before any consent
4Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Meta Pixel (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.
5 cookies set on arrival
5Opening the homepage sets 5 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).
No consent tool detected
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.
23 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 23 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
