Speed
Render-blocking requests
600 ms2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 600 ms.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 37 KiBAbout 37 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.
Reduce unused JavaScript
300 ms · 35 KiBAbout 35 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.
Improve image delivery
265 KiB4 images could be 265 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 96 KiB16 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (96 KiB).

Mobile performance score: 99
99/100Your mobile performance score is 99 (desktop: 100). That is in Google's “good” band (90 and up).
Main-thread work: 0.2 s
A phone's processor spends 0.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 40 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 25 ms
25 msYour server sent the HTML in 25 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
1 image without width and height
1 image have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Not enough real-visitor data yet
Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

First Contentful Paint: 1.7 s
1.7 sThe first text or image appears after 1.7 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Largest Contentful Paint: 1.8 s
1.8 sYour largest element renders in 1.8 s on a phone, inside Google's 2.5 s “good” threshold. The largest element is the text “Quality Engineering Beyond Your Expectations”.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Speed Index: 1.8 s
1.8 sVisually, the page fills in at 1.8 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.
Total Blocking Time: 0 ms
0 msScripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Time to Interactive: 1.8 s
1.8 sThe page is fully interactive after 1.8 s.
Images and page weight
1 image far larger than shown
224 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example Garg-2021-49-1920w.webp at 1,920 px wide, shown at 350 px. Resized copies would save about 224 KiB.
5 images below the first screen load straight away
5 images further down the page (508 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.3 g of CO₂ per visit
0.27 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.27 g of CO₂e: 32.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Page weight: 972 KiB in 18 requests
972 KiBYour homepage downloads 972 KiB in 18 requests on a phone: images 817 KiB (11), scripts 68 KiB (1) and stylesheets 43 KiB (2). That is a lean page.
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Accessibility
1 button without a name
1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
4 tap targets too small
4 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
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.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3, h2 → h4 and h1 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 6 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
44 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 passed and 4 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No meta description
No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.
Title is short (23 characters)
Your title is only 23 characters: “Home - Garg Engineering”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
5 H1 headlines
There are 5 <h1> headlines (“Quality Engineering Beyond Your Expectations”, “Structural & Civil Engineering” and “Facility & MEP Design”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Open Graph partly set
Open Graph is missing og:description, so shared links fall back to guesses.
23 internal links, 5 external
The homepage links to 23 pages on gargengineering.com and 5 external pages.
4 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://gargengineering.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, ImageObject, WebPage and WebSite.
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.
XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://gargengineering.com/sitemap_index.xml.
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 (358 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
10 pages without a meta description
/about-us, /contact, /projects, /projects/nhl-power-program-phase-1-signal-ss, /projects/ctdot-improvements-to-stamford-moe-facility and /projects/livingston-ave-bridge-replacement and 4 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 page with very little text
/sitemap has under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.
10 internal pages checked
We fetched 10 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.
6 checks passed
Linked pages load
All 10 pages we checked loaded without an error.

Every page we checked has its own title.
Every page has an H1
Each page we checked has a main headline.
No linked page is hidden from search
None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.
Every page has a title
All 10 pages that loaded have a <title>.
Best practices
1 small tap target
1 of 5 tappable elements near the top of the page is smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
2 JavaScript errors while loading
2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
2 broken links to your own pages
2 links from your homepage to your own site are broken, for example https://gargengineering.com/projects (500).
No HSTS header
No Strict-Transport-Security header, so browsers may still try plain http first on a return visit.
No clickjacking protection
Neither X-Frame-Options nor a CSP frame-ancestors policy is set, so any site can embed yours in a frame.
No X-Content-Type-Options
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.
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.
5 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (gargengineering.com).
Valid certificate (65 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE2 verifies for gargengineering.com and is valid for another 65 days.
Content-Security-Policy set
A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
http:// redirects to https
http://gargengineering.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.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
gargengineering.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
gargengineering.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 24 years old
24 yearsgargengineering.com was registered in May 2002 through HOSTINGER operations, UAB. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until May 2031
gargengineering.com is registered until May 2031.
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.
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.
Only about 228 words
The homepage has only about 228 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
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
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: “Get Started”.
5 calls to action
The homepage has 5 calls to action, for example “Contact”, “Get Started” and “Learn More About Us”.
Direct contact links
Visitors can reach you directly: 2 phone links and 2 email links.
Phone number on the homepage
Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.
Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be gargengineering.com is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.
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:spf.protection.outlook.com include:_spf.trustifi.com include:autotask.net -all”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
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.
1 checks passed
No known trackers before consent
No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).
Upkeep, stack and company
No signs of neglect in what was checked: the copyright year, CMS and plugin versions, and jQuery.

- WordPress 7.1.3
