Speed

12 to fix29
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    3.6 s · 813 KiB

    About 813 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.6 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.6 s · 313 KiB

    29 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (313 KiB).

  • Mobile performance score: 29

    29/100

    Your mobile performance score is 29. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 4.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 4.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (hsappstatic.net, Google CDN and Hubspot and others), adding 2.2 MB and 1.4 s of main-thread time.

  • Font display

    700 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 700 ms).

  • hsappstatic.net adds 590 ms

    590 ms

    hsappstatic.net costs a phone 590 ms of main-thread work and 715 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.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    450 ms · 98 KiB

    About 98 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    450 ms

    4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.

  • Google CDN adds 267 ms

    267 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 267 ms of main-thread work and 736 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.

  • 12 long tasks on the main thread

    12 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 261 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • website-files.com adds 122 ms

    122 ms

    website-files.com costs a phone 122 ms of main-thread work and 408 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.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 14 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 14 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    50 ms · 47 KiB

    4 images could be 47 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 50 ms faster on a phone.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 3 ms

    3 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 3 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

11 to fix0
  • 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 LCP: 5.1 s

    5.1 s

    Real visitors wait 5.1 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 9.9 s

    9.9 s

    The first text or image appears after 9.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 20.1 s

    20.1 s

    Your largest element takes 20.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Hero background”.

  • Time to Interactive: 23.1 s

    23.1 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 23.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 9.9 s

    9.9 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 9.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.255

    0.255

    The layout shifts by 0.255 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • Total Blocking Time: 558 ms

    558 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 558 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 15 images without width and height

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

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 3.5 MB in 123 requests

    3.5 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.5 MB in 123 requests on a phone: scripts 2.0 MB (41), fonts 785 KiB (23) and other files 368 KiB (21). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.00 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.00 g of CO₂e: 120.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • 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.

Accessibility

3 to fixGoogle 10095

    Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • Contentinfo landmark should not be contained in another landmark (1 element)

  • 39 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 42 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 39 passed and 3 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 9294
  • Structured data has 1 problem

    Structured data found (WebPage) but with 1 problem, for example “WebPage: url is not an absolute URL ("/")”.

  • 5 links with vague text

    5 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

    The homepage links to 45 pages on fencecore.com and 0 external pages.

7 checks passed

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.fencecore.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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.

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.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,600 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (10 KiB, 49 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

100

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 7376
  • 5 broken images

    5 images failed to load on a phone, for example https://www.fencecore.com/.

  • 1 third-party cookie

    1 third-party cookie is 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 “Consent Pro: not available for production use. Please purchase a plan at https://my.finsweet.com/plans/create/consent-p…”.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    12 of 14 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 (fencecore.com).

  • Valid certificate (55 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for fencecore.com and is valid for another 55 days.

  • HSTS enabled

    Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://fencecore.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 20 links work

    All 20 links checked from your homepage (20 internal, 0 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    fencecore.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

    fencecore.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 13 years old

    13 years

    fencecore.com was registered in Jun 2013 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Jun 2028

    fencecore.com is registered until Jun 2028.

Content and conversion

1 to fix90
  • 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.

  • 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.

  • About 1,595 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,595 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Contact” and “Schedule a call”.

  • 8 calls to action

    The homepage has 8 calls to action, for example “Contact”, “Schedule a call” and “Get a free assessment”.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 21 testimonial or review blocks and “200 + Satisfied clients”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Microsoft Clarity.

Email authentication

95
  • 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 include:_u.fencecore.com._spf.smart.ondmarc.com ~all”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1” and “selector2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 6 trackers load before any consent

    6

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, HubSpot and LinkedIn Insight and 1 more (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.

  • 9 cookies set on arrival

    9

    Opening the homepage sets 9 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.

  • 30 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 30 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.
