Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
6.0 s · 853 KiBAbout 853 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 6.0 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
3.4 s · 751 KiB19 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (751 KiB).
Improve image delivery
3.0 s · 668 KiB8 images could be 668 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.0 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 57
57/100Your mobile performance score is 57 (desktop: 96). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Google CDN and Other Google APIs/SDKs and others), adding 1.6 MB and 585 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
450 ms · 61 KiBAbout 61 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Google Tag Manager adds 309 ms
309 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 309 ms of main-thread work and 820 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.
Google CDN adds 242 ms
242 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 242 ms of main-thread work and 734 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.
Minify CSS
300 ms · 13 KiB13 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Render-blocking requests
300 ms5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 300 ms.
Font display
150 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 150 ms).
5 long tasks on the main thread
5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 92 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Minify JavaScript
12 KiB12 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 96 but mobile only 57. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.
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.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 1.2 s
A phone's processor spends 1.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 701 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 1 ms
1 msYour server sent the HTML in 1 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
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.

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
5 images far larger than shown
524 KiB5 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example kohler-new-web.webp at 1,733 px wide, shown at 300 px. Resized copies would save about 524 KiB.
Page weight: 2.8 MB in 48 requests
2.8 MBYour homepage downloads 2.8 MB in 48 requests on a phone: scripts 1.6 MB (18), images 739 KiB (14) and other files 351 KiB (7). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
3 images below the first screen load straight away
3 images further down the page (217 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit
0.79 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.79 g of CO₂e: 94.7 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
6 text elements with low contrast
6 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
<html> element must have a lang attribute (1 element)
<html> element must have a lang attribute: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
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.
5 form fields without a label
5 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
1 link without text
1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.
No page language
The <html> element has no lang attribute, so screen readers may read the page in the wrong voice and accent.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 9 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
47 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 5 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No meta description
No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.
Title is short (14 characters)
Your title is only 14 characters: “Flight Systems”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
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.
One H1 headline
Your <h1> is empty.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
66 internal links, 2 external
The homepage links to 66 pages on flightsystems.com and 2 external pages.
3 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.flightsystems.com/.
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.
XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at http://www.flightsystems.com/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 (318 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 42 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
11 small tap targets
11 of 16 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
1 distorted image
1 image is displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so it looks stretched or squashed.
2 checks passed
No console errors
No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
No HSTS header
No Strict-Transport-Security header, so browsers may still try plain http first on a return visit.
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.
5 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (flightsystems.com).
Valid certificate (63 days left)
The certificate from Sectigo Limited · Sectigo Public Server Authentication CA DV R36 verifies for flightsystems.com and is valid for another 63 days.
http:// redirects to https
http://flightsystems.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2
The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.
All 41 links work
All 41 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 1 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
flightsystems.com 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
flightsystems.com'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.
2 checks passed
Domain is 30 years old
30 yearsflightsystems.com was registered in Mar 1996 through Network Solutions, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Mar 2031
flightsystems.com is registered until Mar 2031.
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.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 2 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No direct contact details
No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.
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 265 words of copy
The homepage carries about 265 words of visible text.
3 checks passed
8 calls to action
The homepage has 8 calls to action, for example “Shop Our Catalog”, “Contact Us” and “Register”.
3 short forms
3 short forms (2 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics.
Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be flightsystems.com is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.
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.
2 checks passed
SPF in place (~all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 a a:web040.mivamerchant.net ip4:74.94.13.250 include:_spf.google.com ~all”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “google” and “k2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
3 trackers load before any consent
3Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, 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.
4 cookies set on arrival
4Opening the homepage sets 4 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.
12 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 12 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.
