Speed

7 to fix63
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.2 s · 409 KiB

    About 409 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.2 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 63

    63/100

    Your mobile performance score is 63 (desktop: 69). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • 7 third-party services on the page

    7 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, cdn-cookieyes.com and Google CDN and others), adding 709 KiB and 686 ms of main-thread time.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 625 ms

    625 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 625 ms of main-thread work and 648 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.

  • Render-blocking requests

    350 ms

    5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 350 ms.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    300 ms · 44 KiB

    About 44 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • 6 long tasks on the main thread

    6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 262 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Minify JavaScript

    150 ms · 11 KiB

    11 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 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.

  • Forced reflow

    Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    2 KiB

    1 file is served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (2 KiB).

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 790 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 5 ms

    5 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 5 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix61
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 7.1 s

    7.1 s

    Your largest element takes 7.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “WORRY-FREE IT SUPPORT FOR MIDWEST AND FLORIDA BUSINESSES Wi…”.

  • Time to Interactive: 9.5 s

    9.5 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 9.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 5.0 s

    5.0 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.4 s

    2.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 308 ms

    308 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 308 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

100
  • About 0.3 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.34 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.34 g of CO₂e: 41.1 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 56 requests

    1.2 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.2 MB in 56 requests on a phone: scripts 891 KiB (28), other files 91 KiB (14) and images 81 KiB (5). 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

Google 100100
2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 4 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 45 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 0 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

Google 100100
  • 39 internal links, 6 external

    The homepage links to 39 pages on excaltech.com and 6 external pages.

8 checks passed
  • Meta description: 129 characters

    Your meta description is 129 characters: “Managed IT Services for Midwest & Florida SMBs. Secure, support, and simplify your IT with ExcalTech so your business c…”.

  • One H1 headline

  • Title: 57 characters

    Your title is a healthy 57 characters: “ExcalTech: Managed IT Services for Midwest & Florida SMBs”.

  • XML sitemap found

AI search readiness

100
  • 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.

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.

  • Organization data: 5 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles) and contact details; description would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (781 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

100

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 10093
  • 5 small tap targets

    5 of 12 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

2 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

1 to fix93
  • No Content-Security-Policy

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

  • Short HSTS lifetime

    HSTS is set, but max-age is 0 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

  • 1 link through redirect chains

    1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://pay.excaltech.com/.

  • 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.

6 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

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

  • Valid certificate (87 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for excaltech.com and is valid for another 87 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

    X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://excaltech.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 31 links work

    All 31 links checked from your homepage (25 internal, 6 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    excaltech.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

    excaltech.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 27 years old

    27 years

    excaltech.com was registered in Apr 1999 through TLDS L.L.C. d/b/a SRSPlus. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Apr 2027

    excaltech.com is registered until Apr 2027.

Content and conversion

3 to fix71
  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 30 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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 733 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 733 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • 5 calls to action

    The homepage has 5 calls to action, for example “Request a Call” and “Contact Us”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 1 email link.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.

Email authentication

1 to fix85
  • SPF does not block other senders (no all)

    Your SPF record doesn't end in -all or ~all, so it doesn't stop other servers sending as you: “v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:spf.emailsignatures365.com include:spf.myconnectwise.net include:spf.…”.

  • Email authentication score: 85/100

    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.

2 checks passed
  • DMARC policy: reject

    DMARC tells receivers to reject mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1” and “hs1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

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

  • 2 cookies set on arrival

    2

    Opening the homepage sets 2 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 9 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 9 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: CookieYes

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