Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
5.7 s · 891 KiBAbout 891 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 5.7 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
2.8 s83 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.8 s.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
2.3 s · 388 KiB9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (388 KiB).
Improve image delivery
1.1 s · 154 KiB4 images could be 154 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Google Tag Manager and Facebook and others), adding 1.8 MB and 876 ms of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 52
52/100Your mobile performance score is 52. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 267 KiBAbout 267 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Google CDN adds 293 ms
293 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 293 ms of main-thread work and 742 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 Tag Manager adds 246 ms
246 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 246 ms of main-thread work and 471 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.
Main-thread work: 2.7 s
A phone's processor spends 2.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Facebook adds 184 ms
184 msFacebook costs a phone 184 ms of main-thread work and 320 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.
Legacy JavaScript
200 ms · 33 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 33 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.
12 long tasks on the main thread
12 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 102 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Minify JavaScript
7 KiB7 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
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.

Core Web Vitals

Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.0 MB in 239 requests
4.0 MBYour homepage downloads 4.0 MB in 239 requests on a phone: scripts 2.1 MB (105), images 1.1 MB (19) and other files 360 KiB (11). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
3 images below the first screen load straight away
3 images further down the page (75 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit
1.13 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.13 g of CO₂e: 135.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
Links look like plain text

Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (2 elements)
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

Every image has alt text
All 11 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
47 automated accessibility rules passed

XML sitemap found

AI search readiness

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 (987 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Valid certificate (57 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for foxgal.com and is valid for another 57 days.
Protected from clickjacking

No CAA record
foxgal.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

Content and conversion
No call to action on the first screen

Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 1 testimonial or review block. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No direct contact details

DMARC policy: quarantine
DMARC tells receivers to quarantine mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.
SPF in place (~all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:_spf.samanage.com include:spfm.uslbm.us ~all”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”, “selector2” and “k2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
