fgmc.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
4.5 s · 2.3 MB55 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (2.3 MB).
Render-blocking requests
3.0 s15 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.0 s.
audioeye.com adds 1.2 s
1.2 saudioeye.com costs a phone 1.2 s of main-thread work and 306 KiB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
onlineaccess1.com adds 1.1 s
1.1 sonlineaccess1.com costs a phone 1.1 s of main-thread work and 186 KiB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
Mobile performance score: 36
36/100Your mobile performance score is 36. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 5.6 s
A phone's processor spends 5.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.1 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 (audioeye.com, onlineaccess1.com and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 1.2 MB and 2.9 s of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
800 ms · 535 KiB6 images could be 535 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 800 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
450 ms · 401 KiBAbout 401 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
600 ms · 92 KiBAbout 92 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.
Google Tag Manager adds 349 ms
349 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 349 ms of main-thread work and 339 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.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 303 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
150 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 150 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
28 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 28 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.5 MB in 103 requests
4.5 MBYour homepage downloads 4.5 MB in 103 requests on a phone: images 2.4 MB (29), scripts 1.2 MB (29) and fonts 651 KiB (8). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image far larger than shown
63 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example map1.png at 1,520 px wide, shown at 366 px. Resized copies would save about 63 KiB.
2 images below the first screen load straight away
2 images further down the page (268 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
1 image in older formats
1 image (137 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 1.3 g of CO₂ per visit
1.26 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.26 g of CO₂e: 151.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
3 tap targets too small
3 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
6 images without alt text
6 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (5 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 5 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (2 elements)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Document should not have more than one banner landmark (1 element)
Document should not have more than one banner landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
button, link, and menuitem elements do not have accessible names.
button, link, and menuitem elements do not have accessible names. (1 element).
1 link without text
1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (3 elements)
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
1 checks passed
47 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 54 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 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 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.
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.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
121 internal links, 14 external
The homepage links to 121 pages on fgmc.com and 14 external pages.

XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.fgb.net/sitemap.xml.
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 (702 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Valid certificate (67 days left)
The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for fgmc.com and is valid for another 67 days.
Protected from clickjacking
X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.
Content-Security-Policy set

HSTS enabled
Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.
http:// redirects to https

All 52 links work
All 52 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 12 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
Domain expires in 43 days
fgb.net is registered until Dec 2026. Make sure auto-renew is on and the card on file is current.
No CAA record
fgb.net 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

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 social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
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.
About 453 words of copy
The homepage carries about 453 words of visible text.
4 checks passed
6 calls to action
The homepage has 6 calls to action, for example “Contact Us”, “Learn More” and “Start Learning”.

Email authentication
No DMARC policy
fgmc.com has no DMARC record, so nothing tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF or DKIM. Gmail and Yahoo require DMARC from bulk senders.
No DKIM key on the usual selectors
We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.
Email authentication score: 40/100
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.
