Speed

13 to fix46
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    8.2 s · 1.6 MB

    About 1.6 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 8.2 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    4.7 s · 1.1 MB

    43 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.1 MB).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    1.1 s · 209 KiB

    About 209 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 46

    46/100

    Your mobile performance score is 46. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 5.0 s

    A phone's processor spends 5.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.7 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 (POWr, powrcdn.com and Heroku and others), adding 3.0 MB and 2.1 s of main-thread time.

  • Render-blocking requests

    900 ms

    4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 900 ms.

  • POWr adds 573 ms

    573 ms

    POWr costs a phone 573 ms of main-thread work and 103 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.

  • powrcdn.com adds 447 ms

    447 ms

    powrcdn.com costs a phone 447 ms of main-thread work and 1.2 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.

  • Heroku adds 361 ms

    361 ms

    Heroku costs a phone 361 ms of main-thread work and 59 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.

  • Yotpo adds 226 ms

    226 ms

    Yotpo costs a phone 226 ms of main-thread work and 503 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.

  • 1,842 HTML elements

    The page has 1,842 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Shopify adds 111 ms

    111 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 111 ms of main-thread work and 372 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.

  • Improve image delivery

    200 ms · 135 KiB

    13 images could be 135 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 58 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 58 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 8 long tasks on the main thread

    8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 138 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 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.

  • Server response: 5 ms

    5 ms

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

Core Web Vitals

Images and page weight

1 to fix33

    Your homepage downloads 5.6 MB in 352 requests on a phone: scripts 2.9 MB (148), images 1.0 MB (46) and other files 867 KiB (122). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

    1.58 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.58 g of CO₂e: 189.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

6 to fixGoogle 9087

  • 20 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 23 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 20 passed and 3 failed. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

6 to fixGoogle 8577
  • Title is long (70 characters)

    Your title is 70 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “USPSA IDPA 3-Gun Competition Ammo Novi Michigan USA – Fenix Ammunition”.

  • Canonical points to another host

    Your canonical URL points to fenixammo.com, not fenixammunition.com, so Google may credit that host instead.

  • Meta description is long (300 characters)

    Your meta description is 300 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • Structured data has 2 problems

    Structured data found (Organization) but with 2 problems, for example “Organization: missing name”.

  • 12 links crawlers can't follow

    12 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

  • 3 links with vague text

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

  • 138 internal links, 5 external

    The homepage links to 138 pages on fenixammunition.com and 5 external pages.

4 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

AI search readiness

1 to fix83
  • Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing name, sameAs (social profiles) and description. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://fenixammunition.com/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.

Other pages

1 to fix75
  • 1 linked page is broken

    Your homepage links to https://fenixammunition.com/collections/223-5-56, which answers with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop it.

  • 3 pages slow to respond

Content and conversion

5 to fix70
  • 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: 1 testimonial or review block. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • No analytics detected

    No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

  • Only about 10 words

    The homepage has only about 10 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • 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.

5 checks passed
  • 9 calls to action

    The homepage has 9 calls to action, for example “Shop Now .cls-1{fill:#231f20} expand”, “Shop Now” and “Shop By Use .cls-1{fill:#231f20} expand”.

  • 4 short forms

    4 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Opening hours shown

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage.

  • Risk reducer mentioned

    A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.

Privacy and tracking

  • 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.

  • 2 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 2 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • No known trackers before consent

    No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).

Security, domain, email and software versions

The security, domain and email checks, software and plugin versions, and any app with a known security problem are visible only to people at fenixammunition.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
