Speed

4 to fix99
  • Render-blocking requests

    600 ms

    2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 600 ms.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    300 ms · 37 KiB

    About 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 KiB

    About 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 KiB

    4 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 KiB

    16 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (96 KiB).

3 checks passed
  • Mobile performance score: 99

    99/100

    Your 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 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 25 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

1 to fix99
  • 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.

6 checks passed
  • First Contentful Paint: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.7 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 1.8 s

    1.8 s

    Your 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

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

  • Speed Index: 1.8 s

    1.8 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 1.8 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.

  • Total Blocking Time: 0 ms

    0 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Time to Interactive: 1.8 s

    1.8 s

    The page is fully interactive after 1.8 s.

Images and page weight

2 to fix83
  • 1 image far larger than shown

    224 KiB

    1 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 g

    By 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 KiB

    Your 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

3 to fixGoogle 9095
  • 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

3 to fixGoogle 9278
  • 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

1 to fix88
  • 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

1 to fix95
  • 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.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Titles are unique

    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

2 to fixGoogle 9687
  • 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 to fix79
  • 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 years

    gargengineering.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

4 to fix69
  • 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

1 to fix75
  • 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.
