fss.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Improve image delivery
38.5 s · 15.5 MB17 images could be 15.5 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 38.5 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
26.8 s · 16.1 MB62 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (16.1 MB).
Render-blocking requests
1.9 s14 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.9 s.
Font display
1.4 sWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 1.4 s).
Mobile performance score: 31
31/100Your mobile performance score is 31 (desktop: 42). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 4.8 s
A phone's processor spends 4.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.7 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
3,958 HTML elements
The page has 3,958 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Google Tag Manager and FontAwesome CDN and others), adding 2.0 MB and 1.8 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
300 ms · 767 KiBAbout 767 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Google CDN adds 845 ms
845 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 845 ms of main-thread work and 1.1 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.
Google Tag Manager adds 310 ms
310 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 310 ms of main-thread work and 310 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.
FontAwesome CDN adds 283 ms
283 msFontAwesome CDN costs a phone 283 ms of main-thread work and 179 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.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 217 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
137 KiBAbout 137 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Legacy JavaScript
6 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 6 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.
Minify CSS
4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Minify JavaScript
4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

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.
Largest Contentful Paint: 40.4 s
40.4 sYour largest element takes 40.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

2.8 sThe first text or image appears after 2.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.199
0.199The layout shifts by 0.199 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
7 images without width and height
7 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
-1%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 79 ms to 80 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
Page weight: 26.1 MB in 110 requests
26.1 MBYour homepage downloads 26.1 MB in 110 requests on a phone: images 23.6 MB (53), scripts 1.7 MB (25) and other files 450 KiB (10). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
10 images over 500 KB
10 images weigh 20.6 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
5 images far larger than shown
3.4 MB5 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example WhimsicalGrinch.png at 2,159 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 3.4 MB.
33 images in older formats
33 images (23.4 MB) are JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.
7 images below the first screen load straight away
7 images further down the page (1.3 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 7.4 g of CO₂ per visit
7.40 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 7.40 g of CO₂e: 887.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
1 text element with low contrast
1 text element doesn'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.
17 images without alt text
17 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (31 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 31 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)
Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
13 form fields without a label
13 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
8 links without text
8 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
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 (h3 → h5 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
32 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 41 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 32 passed and 9 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (79 characters)
Your title is 79 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Floral Supply Syndicate - Floral Gift Basket and Decorative Packaging Materials”.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
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 (420 characters)
Your meta description is 420 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.
No XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at https://www.fss.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
No favicon declared
No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.
3 links crawlers can't follow
3 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
1 link with vague text
1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
701 internal links, 8 external
The homepage links to 701 pages on fss.com and 8 external pages.
2 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Floral Supply Syndicate”.
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place.
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 (2,031 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 196 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
1 broken image
1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://www.fss.com/.
14 small tap targets
14 of 24 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
1 JavaScript error while loading
1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'addEventListener')”.
2 low-resolution images
2 images are served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.
1 checks passed
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.
1 link through redirect chains
1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://instagram.com/floralsupplysyndicate.
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
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (fss.com).
Valid certificate (75 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE2 verifies for fss.com and is valid for another 75 days.
Protected from clickjacking
X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.
http:// redirects to https
http://fss.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2
The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.
All 48 links work
All 48 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 8 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
fss.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
fss.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 32 years old
32 yearsfss.com was registered in Jun 1994 through Network Solutions, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Jun 2035
fss.com is registered until Jun 2035.
Content and conversion
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 1 trust badge. 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.
Only about 177 words
The homepage has only about 177 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.
4 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Emails are serviced by Constant Contact.” and “Sign up!”.
18 calls to action
The homepage has 18 calls to action, for example “Register”, “Shop” and “The Box Shop”.
4 short forms
4 short forms (3 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Analytics.
Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be fss.com is still delivered. Add a report address, check the reports, then move to quarantine.
Email authentication score: 75/100
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 with a strict ending (-all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 mx a ptr ip4:64.60.37.0/24 ip4:169.55.44.0/24 ip4:66.93.150.0/24 ip4:169.45.125.0/24 include:_spf.google.com -all”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “mail”), 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.
3 cookies set on arrival
3Opening the homepage sets 3 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.
18 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 18 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
Upkeep, stack and company
