Speed
Improve image delivery
4.0 s · 2.3 MB3 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 MB7 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.7 MB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
990 ms · 188 KiBAbout 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
68/100Your mobile performance score is 68. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
500 ms2 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 msGoogle 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 msDropbox 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 KiBPolyfills 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 msYour server sent the HTML in 17 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 12.1 s
12.1 sYour 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 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 12.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 7.3 s
7.3 sVisually, 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 msScripts block the page for only 84 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
First Contentful Paint: 0.9 s
0.9 sThe first text or image appears after 0.9 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Images and page weight
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 MBYour 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 KiB2 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 gBy 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
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
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”.

AI search readiness
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 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.

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

Domain and trust
1 checks passed
Certificate issuers are restricted

Content and conversion
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

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”.
