Speed

12 to fix36
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    4.5 s · 2.3 MB

    55 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (2.3 MB).

  • Render-blocking requests

    3.0 s

    15 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 s

    audioeye.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 s

    onlineaccess1.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

    36/100

    Your 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 KiB

    6 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 KiB

    About 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 KiB

    About 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 ms

    Google 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 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 150 ms).

  • Legacy JavaScript

    28 KiB

    Polyfills 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.

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

14 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.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 13.5 s

    13.5 s

    Your largest element takes 13.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.

  • Time to Interactive: 16.9 s

    16.9 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 16.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 7.8 s

    7.8 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 7.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 3.9 s

    3.9 s

    The first text or image appears after 3.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 773 ms

    773 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 773 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user LCP: 3.4 s

    3.4 s

    Real visitors wait 3.4 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 347 ms

    347 ms

    Real visitors wait 347 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.11

    0.11

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.11 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Tap response (INP) got 118% slower for real visitors

    +118%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 151 ms to 329 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 22% slower for real visitors

    +22%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.8 s to 3.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Real-user FCP: 2.4 s

    2.4 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.4 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.145

    0.145

    The layout shifts by 0.145 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • 4 images without width and height

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

1 checks passed
  • Real-user TTFB: 699 ms

    699 ms

    Real visitors wait 699 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

Images and page weight

2 to fix60
  • Page weight: 4.5 MB in 103 requests

    4.5 MB

    Your 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 KiB

    1 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 g

    By 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

8 to fixGoogle 8691
  • 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

2 to fixGoogle 8595
  • 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.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 151 characters

    Your meta description is 151 characters: “First Guaranty Bank has locations in LA, KY, TX, and WV. Explore our website to learn about our checking accounts, mort…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “First Guaranty Bank”.

  • Title: 49 characters

    Your title is a healthy 49 characters: “First Guaranty Bank | Personal & Business Banking”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.fgb.net/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BankOrCreditUnion, WebPage and WebSite.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.fgb.net/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.

  • 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.

Other pages

100
  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 91 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

1 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9687
  • 6 small tap targets

    6 of 14 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 3 JavaScript errors while loading

    3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://wsv3cdn.audioeye.com/static-scripts/v2/2026-10-30/compliance.css' from origin 'htt…”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

100
  • 2 redirects before the homepage

    Opening https://fgmc.com goes through 2 redirects before the homepage loads.

  • 1 link through redirect chains

    1 link go through two or more redirects, for example http://www.instagram.com/firstguarantybank.

  • No security.txt

    There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

8 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (fgb.net).

  • 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

    A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • HSTS enabled

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

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://fgmc.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2

    The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.

  • All 52 links work

    All 52 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 12 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

1 to fix
  • 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

    fgb.net'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.

1 checks passed
  • Domain is 29 years old

    29 years

    fgb.net was registered in Dec 1996 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

Content and conversion

2 to fix67
  • 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”.

  • 3 short forms

    3 short forms (2 fields at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Mixpanel.

  • Risk reducer mentioned

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

Email authentication

2 to fix40
  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • SPF with a strict ending (-all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com -all”.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 4 trackers load before any consent

    4

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Mixpanel (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

    10

    Opening 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.

  • 22 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 22 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.
