fsdecals.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Improve image delivery
3.2 s · 683 KiB6 images could be 683 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.2 s faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 7.6 s
A phone's processor spends 7.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
3,297 HTML elements
The page has 3,297 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Reduce unused JavaScript
600 ms · 629 KiBAbout 629 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 61
61/100Your mobile performance score is 61. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
700 ms · 232 KiB17 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (232 KiB).
Render-blocking requests
900 ms5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 900 ms.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, omnisnippet1.com and ordersify.com and others), adding 1.5 MB and 603 ms of main-thread time.
Shopify adds 492 ms
492 msShopify costs a phone 492 ms of main-thread work and 1.3 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.
8 long tasks on the main thread
8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 215 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 22 KiBAbout 22 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 15 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 15 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Duplicated JavaScript
100 ms · 24 KiB24 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles. Google estimates it would make the page about 100 ms faster on a phone.
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.
Minify CSS
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 5.5 MB in 459 requests
5.5 MBYour homepage downloads 5.5 MB in 459 requests on a phone: images 2.5 MB (83), scripts 1.5 MB (149) and other files 1.0 MB (184). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 1.5 g of CO₂ per visit
1.55 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.55 g of CO₂e: 185.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
Delayed refresh under 20 hours must not be used (1 element)
Delayed refresh under 20 hours must not be used: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical 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.
13 text elements with low contrast
13 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
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.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3 and h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 77 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
20 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 23 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 20 passed and 3 failed. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO

Your title is 68 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Fusion Scale Graphics: Model Train Decals | Custom Waterslide Decals”.
Meta description is long (263 characters)

Security and trust
Short HSTS lifetime
HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.
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.
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.
No security.txt
There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.
7 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (fsdecals.com).
Valid certificate (32 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for fsdecals.com and is valid for another 32 days.
Protected from clickjacking
X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.
Content-Security-Policy set
A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
http:// redirects to https
http://fsdecals.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2 and HTTP/3
The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.
All 43 links work
All 43 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 3 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
fsdecals.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
fsdecals.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 5 years old
5 yearsfsdecals.com was registered in Feb 2021 through Squarespace Domains II LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Feb 2027
fsdecals.com is registered until Feb 2027.
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.
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
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.
Only about 10 words
The homepage has only about 10 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
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.
2 checks passed
16 calls to action
The homepage has 16 calls to action, for example “Shop Scalecoat Paint”, “Shop Tru-Color Railroad Paint” and “Shop All”.
6 short forms
6 short forms (2 fields at most) are right on the homepage.
Email authentication
No DMARC policy
fsdecals.com has no DMARC record, so nothing tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF or DKIM. Gmail and Yahoo require DMARC from bulk senders.
No DKIM key on the usual selectors
We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.
Domain receives no email
fsdecals.com has no MX record, so it receives no email. SPF -all and DMARC reject still matter: they stop others sending mail as you.
Email authentication score: 35/100
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.
1 checks passed
SPF in place (~all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:mailgun.org ~all”.
Privacy and tracking
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.
2 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 2 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
1 checks passed

No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).
