Images and page weight
Page weight: 5.0 MB
5.0 MBYour homepage downloads 5.0 MB on a phone, 886 KiB of it images (17%). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 1.4 g of CO₂ per visit
1.42 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.42 g of CO₂e: 170.3 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.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
2 text elements with low contrast
2 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
5 images without alt text
5 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
1 checks passed
53 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 56 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 53 passed and 3 failed. 5 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Meta description is long (206 characters)
Your meta description is 206 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
284 internal links, 18 external
The homepage links to 284 pages on ferapets.com and 18 external pages.
7 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Good news for good dogs.”.
Title: 41 characters

4 checks passed

Organization data: 6 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details.

Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (2,341 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published

Other pages
2 pages share a meta description
/collections/senior-pet-support and /collections/aging-support use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

Registered until Jun 2027

Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

Email authentication score: 70/100
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.
