Speed

9 to fix47
  • Improve image delivery

    2.1 s · 2.6 MB

    18 images could be 2.6 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.1 s faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.4 s · 464 KiB

    About 464 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.4 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    2.2 s

    49 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.2 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 47

    47/100

    Your mobile performance score is 47. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    900 ms · 162 KiB

    About 162 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    350 ms · 49 KiB

    10 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (49 KiB).

  • Google Tag Manager adds 292 ms

    292 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 292 ms of main-thread work and 289 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: 2.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Vimeo adds 78 ms

    78 ms

    Vimeo costs a phone 78 ms of main-thread work and 536 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.

  • 6 third-party services on the page

    6 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Vimeo and Cloudflare CDN and others), adding 844 KiB and 377 ms of main-thread time.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 12 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 12 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 14 long tasks on the main thread

    14 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 148 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    100 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).

  • 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

    2 KiB

    2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 4 ms

    4 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix54
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 26.4 s

    26.4 s

    Your largest element takes 26.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Glant Autumn 2026 Stacked Fabric”.

  • Time to Interactive: 27.5 s

    27.5 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 27.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 8.9 s

    8.9 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 8.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 4.1 s

    4.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 4.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 455 ms

    455 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 455 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 11 images without width and height

    11 images 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.

1 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

4 to fix33
  • Page weight: 6.7 MB in 132 requests

    6.7 MB

    Your homepage downloads 6.7 MB in 132 requests on a phone: images 4.8 MB (37), scripts 937 KiB (34) and fonts 669 KiB (5). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 12 images far larger than shown

    1.4 MB

    12 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example boucle.jpg at 1,920 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 1.4 MB.

  • 24 images in older formats

    24 images (4.6 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.

  • 13 images below the first screen load straight away

    13 images further down the page (2.3 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 1.9 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.89 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.89 g of CO₂e: 226.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

Google 100100
2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 31 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 47 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 47 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 0 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

5 to fixGoogle 9271
  • No meta description

    No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • Title is short (14 characters)

    Your title is only 14 characters: “Glant Textiles”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • 2 H1 headlines

    There are 2 <h1> headlines (“Welcome to Glant Textiles” and “Welcome to Glant Textiles”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • 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 X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

  • 22 internal links, 43 external

    The homepage links to 22 pages on glant.com and 43 external pages.

3 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://glant.com/.

  • 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://glant.com/wp-sitemap.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 (932 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 9 pages without a meta description

    /lookbooks, /showrooms, /about-glant, /about-glant/advertising-archive, /about-glant/press and /contact and 3 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 page without an H1

    /accessibility has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 2 pages with very little text

    /showrooms and /about-glant/advertising-archive have 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.

  • 2 pages slow to respond

    /about-glant and /about-glant/press took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

  • 9 internal pages checked

    We fetched 9 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 9 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.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 9 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 5488
  • 2 small tap targets

    2 of 6 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 2 third-party cookies

    2 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • Deprecated browser APIs

    The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

2 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

2 to fix86
  • 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.

  • 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 (glant.com).

  • Valid certificate (62 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for glant.com and is valid for another 62 days.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://glant.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 32 links work

    All 32 links checked from your homepage (12 internal, 20 external) answered without errors; 1 did not answer within 5 s.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    glant.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

    glant.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 27 years old

    27 years

    glant.com was registered in Feb 1999 through Network Solutions, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Feb 2027

    glant.com is registered until Feb 2027.

Content and conversion

2 to fix60
  • 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 form on the homepage

    There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

  • 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.

  • About 690 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 690 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • 2 calls to action

    The homepage has 2 calls to action, for example “Contact” and “Contact / Stay in Touch”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 2 phone links and 1 email link.

Email authentication

90
  • Email authentication score: 90/100

    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.

3 checks passed
  • DMARC policy: quarantine

    DMARC tells receivers to quarantine mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.

  • 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:servers.mcsv.net include:sendgrid.net -all”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”, “k2” and “s1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 2 trackers load before any consent

    2

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads 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.

  • 6 cookies set on arrival

    6

    Opening the homepage sets 6 cookies, 2 of them by other companies (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.

  • 11 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 11 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
