Speed

8 to fix68
  • Improve image delivery

    4.0 s · 2.3 MB

    3 images could be 2.3 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.0 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    4.2 s · 1.7 MB

    7 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.7 MB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    990 ms · 188 KiB

    About 188 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 990 ms faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 68

    68/100

    Your mobile performance score is 68. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Render-blocking requests

    500 ms

    2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 500 ms.

  • 3 third-party services on the page

    3 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and Dropbox), adding 2.0 MB and 152 ms of main-thread time.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 152 ms

    152 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 152 ms of main-thread work and 296 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.

  • Dropbox adds 0 ms

    0 ms

    Dropbox costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 1.7 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.

  • 4 long tasks on the main thread

    4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 104 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    14 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 14 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 794 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 17 ms

    17 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 17 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

3 to fix66
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 12.1 s

    12.1 s

    Your largest element takes 12.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 12.3 s

    12.3 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 12.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 7.3 s

    7.3 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 7.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Not enough real-visitor data yet

    Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

3 checks passed
  • Total Blocking Time: 84 ms

    84 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 84 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

  • First Contentful Paint: 0.9 s

    0.9 s

    The first text or image appears after 0.9 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

Images and page weight

5 to fix52
  • 2 images over 500 KB

    2 images weigh 1.7 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • Page weight: 3.2 MB in 55 requests

    3.2 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.2 MB in 55 requests on a phone: images 2.6 MB (12), scripts 573 KiB (17) and other files 39 KiB (22). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    freepik__enhance__50953.jpg1747314034309- is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).

  • 1 image below the first screen load straight away

    1 image further down the page (727 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • 2 images far larger than shown

    427 KiB

    2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example freepik__enhance__50953.jpg1747314034309- at 1,440 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 427 KiB.

  • About 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.91 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.91 g of CO₂e: 108.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

Accessibility

4 to fixGoogle 9194
  • ARIA attributes must conform to valid values (1 element)

    ARIA attributes must conform to valid values: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (136 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 136 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 53 links without text

    53 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • Headings should not be empty (1 element)

    Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 30 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 36 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 40 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 36 passed and 4 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

5 to fixGoogle 9279
  • Title is long (68 characters)

    Your title is 68 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “DCD Approved – FireGate | Fire Fighting & Fire Alarm Services in UAE”.

  • No canonical URL

    No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.

  • Meta description is long (228 characters)

    Your meta description is 228 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 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.

  • 8 links with vague text

    8 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.

  • 16 internal links, 15 external

    The homepage links to 16 pages on firegate.ae and 15 external pages.

4 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Over 20 Years of Expertise in Fire, Safety & Security Solutions in the UAE”.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: LocalBusiness.

  • 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.firegate.ae/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Some text only appears after JavaScript runs

    44%

    The HTML your server sends has 316 of the 714 words a browser shows. AI crawlers don't run JavaScript, so they miss the rest.

  • 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.

  • Organization data: 5 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details; logo would complete it.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 1 page without an H1

    /portfolio has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 1 page with very little text

    /portfolio has under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

  • 1 page slow to respond

    /portfolio took over 3 s to send its HTML from our server.

  • 5 internal pages checked

    We fetched 5 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 5 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 5 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 5 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

Google 100100
3 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    23 of 24 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 (firegate.ae).

  • Valid certificate (75 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YR1 verifies for firegate.ae and is valid for another 75 days.

  • HSTS enabled

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

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://firegate.ae redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2

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

  • All 20 links work

    All 20 links checked from your homepage (5 internal, 15 external) answered without errors; 1 did not answer within 5 s.

Domain and trust

1 checks passed
  • Certificate issuers are restricted

    CAA records allow only globalsign.com, letsencrypt.org, pki.goog and sectigo.com to issue certificates for firegate.ae, so a mis-issued certificate from anyone else is refused.

Content and conversion

2 to fix79
  • No calls to action

    We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 8 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • No opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • No form on the homepage

    There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

  • No map or directions link

    There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

  • 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 714 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 714 words of visible text.

5 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “CONTACT US”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 1 email link.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.

  • LocalBusiness structured data

    Your homepage describes the business with LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants can read its address, hours and phone reliably.

Email authentication

90
  • Email authentication score: 90/100

    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: quarantine

    DMARC tells receivers to quarantine mail that fails authentication.

  • 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”.

  • 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
  • 2 trackers load before any consent

    2

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

  • 2 cookies set on arrival

    2

    Opening the homepage sets 2 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.

  • 3 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 3 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
