Speed
Render-blocking requests
2.1 s10 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.1 s.
Reduce unused JavaScript
900 ms · 137 KiBAbout 137 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 63
63/100Your mobile performance score is 63 (desktop: 97). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused CSS
600 ms · 57 KiBAbout 57 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.
Bigcommerce adds 176 ms
176 msBigcommerce costs a phone 176 ms of main-thread work and 474 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.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Bigcommerce, Google Tag Manager and POWr and others), adding 925 KiB and 339 ms of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 106 KiB8 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (106 KiB).
Minify CSS
150 ms · 21 KiB21 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 166 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Minify JavaScript
150 ms · 5 KiB5 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Improve image delivery
80 KiB6 images could be 80 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Legacy JavaScript
11 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 11 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 97 but mobile only 63. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.
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.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 1.1 s
A phone's processor spends 1.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 494 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 4 ms
4 msYour server sent the HTML in 4 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.
Largest Contentful Paint: 7.8 s
7.8 sYour largest element takes 7.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Hero Slider”.
First Contentful Paint: 4.2 s
4.2 sThe first text or image appears after 4.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Time to Interactive: 7.8 s
7.8 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 7.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Real-user LCP: 2.7 s
2.7 sReal visitors wait 2.7 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.
Largest content (LCP) got 35% slower for real visitors
+35%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-10, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.7 s to 2.3 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Real-user FCP: 2.4 s
2.4 sReal visitors see the first content after 2.4 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
Real-user TTFB: 860 ms
860 msReal visitors wait 860 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
Speed Index: 5.3 s
5.3 sVisually, the page fills in at 5.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
7 images without width and height
7 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
-5%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-10, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 87 ms to 83 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Real-user CLS: 0.02
0.02For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.02 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
Total Blocking Time: 104 ms
104 msScripts block the page for only 104 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
1 image in older formats
1 image (100 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.
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (27 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.3 g of CO₂ per visit
0.27 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.27 g of CO₂e: 32.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Page weight: 969 KiB in 48 requests
969 KiBYour homepage downloads 969 KiB in 48 requests on a phone: scripts 401 KiB (12), images 314 KiB (22) and fonts 137 KiB (4). That is a lean page.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
3 tap targets too small
3 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
Hidden but focusable
1 element hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
Malformed lists
Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.
Orphan list items
Some list items are not inside a list.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (16 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 16 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.
4 links without text
4 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 37 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
44 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 51 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 passed and 7 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.
Title is short (10 characters)
Your title is only 10 characters: “Fanimation”. 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 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 https://fanimation.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
1 link with vague text
1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.
One H1 headline
Your <h1> is empty.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
89 internal links, 7 external
The homepage links to 89 pages on fanimation.com and 7 external pages.
2 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://fanimation.com/.
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place.
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.
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.
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 (390 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 page points its canonical at the homepage
/compare declares the homepage as its canonical URL, which tells Google it is a copy of the homepage and keeps it out of search results. A site-wide template setting usually causes this.
2 pages share a title
/ and /compare all use the title “Fanimation”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
15 pages without a meta description
/compare, /shop-all/fans, /shop-all/fans/with-light, /shop-all/fans/outdoor, /shop-all/fans/flush-mount and /shop-all/fans/fandelier and 9 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 29 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
4 checks passed
Linked pages load
All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.
Every page has an H1
Each page we checked has a main headline.
No linked page is hidden from search
None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.
Every page has a title
All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.
Best practices
7 small tap targets
7 of 34 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
1 JavaScript error while loading
1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Unexpected token '<'”.
3 low-resolution images
3 images are served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.
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.
3 links through redirect chains
3 links go through two or more redirects, for example https://fanimation-portal.acumatica.com/.
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.
7 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (fanimation.com).
Valid certificate (87 days left)
The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for fanimation.com and is valid for another 87 days.
Protected from clickjacking
X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.
HSTS enabled
Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.
http:// redirects to https
http://fanimation.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 38 links work
All 38 links checked from your homepage (31 internal, 7 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
fanimation.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
fanimation.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 28 years old
28 yearsfanimation.com was registered in Nov 1997 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Nov 2031
fanimation.com is registered until Nov 2031.
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.
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: 20 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
Only about 238 words
The homepage has only about 238 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
Phone number is not tap-to-call
Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.
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.
4 checks passed
6 calls to action
The homepage has 6 calls to action, for example “OUTDOOR CEILING FANS SHOP NOW”, “FANS WITH LIGHTS SHOP NOW” and “FANS WITHOUT A LIGHT SHOP NOW”.
4 short forms
4 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Analytics.
Phone number on the homepage
Your phone number is on the homepage.
Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be fanimation.com is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.
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.123formbuilder.com”.
Email authentication score: 60/100
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.
1 checks passed
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”, “selector2” and “k2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
2 trackers load before any consent
2Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads 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.
10 cookies set on arrival
10Opening the homepage sets 10 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.
11 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 11 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.
