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
Render-blocking requests
1.6 s5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.6 s.
4,648 HTML elements
The page has 4,648 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Mobile performance score: 66
66/100Your mobile performance score is 66. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
650 ms · 305 KiB10 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (305 KiB).
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Facebook and Optimizely and others), adding 838 KiB and 765 ms of main-thread time.
Google Tag Manager adds 382 ms
382 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 382 ms of main-thread work and 399 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: 2.5 s
A phone's processor spends 2.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Reduce unused JavaScript
150 ms · 212 KiBAbout 212 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
7 long tasks on the main thread
7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 194 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
192 KiB17 images could be 192 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Legacy JavaScript
39 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 39 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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 12.3 MB in 131 requests
12.3 MBYour homepage downloads 12.3 MB in 131 requests on a phone: media 10.2 MB (2), scripts 901 KiB (34) and images 897 KiB (41). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 3.5 g of CO₂ per visit
3.48 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.48 g of CO₂e: 418.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
2 buttons without a name
2 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
Elements with an ARIA [role] that require children to contain a specific [role] are missing some or all of those required children.
Elements with an ARIA [role] that require children to contain a specific [role] are missing some or all of those required children. (1 element).
14 text elements with low contrast
14 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
4 links without text
4 links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
4 tap targets too small
4 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
Frames without titles
1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.
1 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 961 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
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.
Open Graph partly set
Open Graph is missing og:title and og:description, so shared links fall back to guesses.
284 internal links, 54 external
The homepage links to 284 pages on g5e.com and 54 external pages.
6 checks passed

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.

Best practices
1 third-party cookie
1 third-party cookie is set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.
Browser-reported issues
Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
HTTP/1.1 only
The server only offers HTTP/1.1, so browsers open several connections and load files more slowly. Most hosts and CDNs turn on HTTP/2 with a setting.
No clickjacking protection
Neither X-Frame-Options nor a CSP frame-ancestors policy is set, so any site can embed yours in a frame.
Short HSTS lifetime
HSTS is set, but max-age is 7 days; one year is the recommended minimum.
10 links through redirect chains
10 links go through two or more redirects, for example https://app.adjust.com/zcdnnn8?campaign=g5e.com&adgroup=mainpage.
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.
6 checks passed
Served over HTTPS

security.txt published
A security.txt file tells researchers how to report a problem with your site.

No CAA record
g5.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
g5.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 34 years old
34 yearsg5.com was registered in Sep 1992 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Sep 2028
g5.com is registered until Sep 2028.
Content and conversion
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 direct contact details

About 1,088 words of copy
The homepage carries about 1,088 words of visible text.
4 checks passed
34 calls to action

Risk reducer mentioned
A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.
Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be g5e.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 include:support.zendesk.com include:_spf.google.com include:mail.zendesk.com include:amazonses.com -all”.
