flyfishsd.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Improve image delivery
1.4 s · 428 KiB10 images could be 428 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.4 s faster on a phone.
3,987 HTML elements
The page has 3,987 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Mobile performance score: 84
84/100Your mobile performance score is 84. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
750 ms4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 750 ms.
Shopify adds 125 ms
125 msShopify costs a phone 125 ms of main-thread work and 421 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.
7 third-party services on the page
7 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Klaviyo and b-cdn.net and others), adding 800 KiB and 233 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
211 KiBAbout 211 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
106 KiB9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (106 KiB).
1 long task on the main thread
1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 51 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
42 KiBAbout 42 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Legacy JavaScript
27 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 27 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Duplicated JavaScript
24 KiB24 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.
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: 2.8 MB in 323 requests
2.8 MBYour homepage downloads 2.8 MB in 323 requests on a phone: other files 1.2 MB (167), scripts 739 KiB (80) and images 662 KiB (39). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
Screenshot_2026-06-04_at_9.09.32_AM.png 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).
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: 94.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed

Accessibility
5 text elements with low contrast

Heading levels should only increase by one (1 element)
Heading levels should only increase by one: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
8 links without text

Every image has alt text
All 302 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
51 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: 51 passed and 3 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (2,415 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
1 page without a title
/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.
1 linked page hidden from search
/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.
2 pages without a meta description
/policies/shipping-policy and /customer_authentication/redirect have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 page without an H1
/customer_authentication/redirect has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 182 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
3 checks passed

1 link through redirect chains
1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://flyfishsd.com/customer_authentication/redirect?locale=en®ion_country=US.

No Permissions-Policy
No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.
Deprecated X-XSS-Protection
X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.

Valid certificate (82 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for flyfishsd.com and is valid for another 82 days.
Protected from clickjacking
X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.

http:// redirects to https

HTTP/2 and HTTP/3

flyfishsd.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
flyfishsd.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.

Registered until Jun 2027

Content and conversion
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
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

Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be flyfishsd.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
