Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
27.6 s · 15.5 MB26 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (15.5 MB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
15.5 s · 3.1 MBAbout 3.1 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 15.5 s faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
6.2 s · 1.1 MB5 images could be 1.1 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 6.2 s faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (YouTube, Google Tag Manager and botcopy.com and others), adding 5.6 MB and 498 ms of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 53
53/100Your mobile performance score is 53 (desktop: 29). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused CSS
610 ms · 182 KiBAbout 182 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 610 ms faster on a phone.
Legacy JavaScript
450 ms · 100 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 100 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
botcopy.com adds 44 ms
44 msbotcopy.com costs a phone 44 ms of main-thread work and 4.3 MB 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.
YouTube adds 357 ms
357 msYouTube costs a phone 357 ms of main-thread work and 967 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.
Main-thread work: 3.3 s
A phone's processor spends 3.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.9 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
1,850 HTML elements
The page has 1,850 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
15 long tasks on the main thread
15 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 192 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Minify JavaScript
150 ms · 9 KiB9 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Font display
150 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 150 ms).
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.
1 checks passed
Server response: 1 ms
1 msYour server sent the HTML in 1 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
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.
Real-user CLS: 0.73
0.73For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.73 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
Largest Contentful Paint: 67.0 s
67.0 sYour largest element takes 67.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Time to Interactive: 70.3 s
70.3 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 70.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 9.0 s
9.0 sVisually, the page fills in at 9.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
First Contentful Paint: 4.4 s
4.4 sThe first text or image appears after 4.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Real-user LCP: 2.9 s
2.9 sReal visitors wait 2.9 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.
Tap response (INP) got 29% slower for real visitors
+29%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 127 ms to 177 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Total Blocking Time: 271 ms
271 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 271 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
16 images without width and height
16 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
5 checks passed
Real-user INP: 169 ms
169 msReal visitors wait 169 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.
Real-user FCP: 1.7 s
1.7 sReal visitors see the first content after 1.7 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
Real-user TTFB: 503 ms
503 msReal visitors wait 503 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
Largest content (LCP) got 20% faster for real visitors
-20%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.9 s to 3.1 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 18.8 MB in 109 requests
18.8 MBYour homepage downloads 18.8 MB in 109 requests on a phone: images 12.1 MB (34), scripts 6.0 MB (19) and fonts 471 KiB (5). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image over 500 KB
surgtech-logo.jpg weighs 579 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
1 image in older formats
1 image (579 KiB) is 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 5.3 g of CO₂ per visit
5.33 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 5.33 g of CO₂e: 639.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
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
Images must have alternative text (3 elements)
Images must have alternative text: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.
ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name (1 element)
ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
1 checks passed
30 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 32 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 30 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
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.
240 links crawlers can't follow
240 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
Title is short (11 characters)
Your title is only 11 characters: “F. A. Davis”. 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.
No XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at http://www.fadavis.com/SiteMap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
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.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
1 checks passed
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.
AI search readiness
Most text only appears after JavaScript runs
0%A phone browser shows 156 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
12 small tap targets
12 of 33 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
5 third-party cookies
5 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.
1 JavaScript error while loading
1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 401 ()”.
4 distorted images
4 images are displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so they look stretched or squashed.
Browser-reported issues
Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).
Missing source maps
Large scripts ship without source maps.
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
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 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 (fadavis.com).
Valid certificate (72 days left)
The certificate from GoDaddy.com · GoDaddy TLS Intermediate CA DV - R1v1 verifies for fadavis.com and is valid for another 72 days.
HSTS enabled
Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.
http:// redirects to https
http://fadavis.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2
The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
fadavis.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
fadavis.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 32 years old
32 yearsfadavis.com was registered in Jun 1994 through 101domain GRS Limited. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Jun 2027
fadavis.com is registered until Jun 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 direct contact details
No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.
Only about 156 words
The homepage has only about 156 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
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.
1 checks passed
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Analytics.
Email authentication
Email authentication score: 90/100
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: quarantine
DMARC tells receivers to quarantine mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.
SPF with a strict ending (-all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 ip4:209.222.80.0/21 ip4:199.15.212.0/22 include:spf.ess.barracudanetworks.com include:sendgrid.net include:spf.p…”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”, “selector2” and “s1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
3 trackers load before any consent
3Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (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.
3 cookies set on arrival
3Opening the homepage sets 3 cookies (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.
10 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 10 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
Upkeep, stack and company
No signs of neglect in what was checked: the copyright year, CMS and plugin versions, and jQuery.
