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

Live view · interaction off

Speed

8 to fix57
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    3.2 s · 740 KiB

    About 740 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.2 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    3.2 s · 604 KiB

    18 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (604 KiB).

  • Render-blocking requests

    3.0 s

    7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.0 s.

  • 4,191 HTML elements

    The page has 4,191 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Mobile performance score: 57

    57/100

    Your mobile performance score is 57 (desktop: 41). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    600 ms · 93 KiB

    About 93 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    150 ms · 321 KiB

    12 images could be 321 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 191 ms

    191 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 191 ms of main-thread work and 444 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.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and velaro.com and others), adding 938 KiB and 380 ms of main-thread time.

  • Font display

    150 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 150 ms).

  • 5 long tasks on the main thread

    5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 105 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    43 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 43 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 815 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 3 ms

    3 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 3 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

7 to fix67
  • 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.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.62

    0.62

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.62 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 16.5 s

    16.5 s

    Your largest element takes 16.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • First Contentful Paint: 7.2 s

    7.2 s

    The first text or image appears after 7.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 16.5 s

    16.5 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 16.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 8.4 s

    8.4 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 8.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 35 images without width and height

    35 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    0%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 114 ms to 114 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -3%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.3 s to 2.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

6 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 1.6 s

    1.6 s

    Real visitors wait 1.6 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 120 ms

    120 ms

    Real visitors wait 120 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.2 s

    1.2 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.2 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 440 ms

    440 ms

    Real visitors wait 440 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Total Blocking Time: 90 ms

    90 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 90 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

2 to fix75
  • Page weight: 3.7 MB in 161 requests

    3.7 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.7 MB in 161 requests on a phone: images 2.2 MB (82), scripts 1.3 MB (40) and stylesheets 115 KiB (7). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 3 images far larger than shown

    230 KiB

    3 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example GIDEON-thumb.jpg at 1,920 px wide, shown at 295 px. Resized copies would save about 230 KiB.

  • 3 images below the first screen load straight away

    3 images further down the page (292 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.06 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.06 g of CO₂e: 127.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

Accessibility

13 to fixGoogle 6281
  • Images must have alternative text (12 elements)

    Images must have alternative text: 12 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children (1 element)

    Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • ARIA roles used must conform to valid values (1 element)

    ARIA roles used must conform to valid values: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • 18 tap targets too small

    18 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • 4 text elements with low contrast

    4 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • Orphan list items

    Some list items are not inside a list.

  • 105 links without text

    105 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (10 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 10 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 5 form fields without a label

    5 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 38 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 51 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 38 passed and 13 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

6 to fixGoogle 8573
  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • No structured data

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

  • Meta description is long (173 characters)

    Your meta description is 173 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.glockstore.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

  • 12 links crawlers can't follow

    12 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

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

  • 201 internal links, 4 external

    The homepage links to 201 pages on glockstore.com and 4 external pages.

3 checks passed
  • Title: 58 characters

    Your title is a healthy 58 characters: “Glock Parts for Sale | Best Glock Accessories | GlockStore”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.glockstore.com/.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place.

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 (587 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

4 to fix75
  • 7 linked pages hidden from search

    /cerakote/cerakote-services, /cerakote/cerakote-weapon-lights, /cerakote/cerakote-optics, /cerakote/cerakote-magwells, /cerakote/cerakote-baseplates and /cerakote/cerakote-triggers and 1 other are marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If they are meant to be found, remove the noindex.

  • 3 pages share a title

    /26X, /cerakote/cerakote-barrels-comps and /daily-deals all use the title “Shopping”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 11 pages without a meta description

    /26X, /cerakote/cerakote-services, /cerakote/cerakote-weapon-lights, /cerakote/cerakote-optics, /cerakote/cerakote-barrels-comps and /cerakote/cerakote-magwells and 5 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 3 pages without an H1

    /26X, /cerakote/cerakote-barrels-comps and /daily-deals have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 164 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

3 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

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

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 8885
  • 96 small tap targets

    96 of 229 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 “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 400 ()”.

  • 20 distorted images

    20 images are displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so they look stretched or squashed.

  • 1 low-resolution image

    1 image is served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

2 to fix83
  • 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 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.

4 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (glockstore.com).

  • Valid certificate (63 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YR2 verifies for glockstore.com and is valid for another 63 days.

  • HTTP/2

    The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.

  • All 44 links work

    All 44 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 4 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    glockstore.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

    glockstore.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 29 years old

    29 years

    glockstore.com was registered in Jun 1997 through Network Solutions, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Jun 2032

    glockstore.com is registered until Jun 2032.

Content and conversion

1 to fix90
  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 1 testimonial or review block. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • Phone number is not tap-to-call

    Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.

  • 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 820 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 820 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “CONTACT US” and “QUICK ORDER”.

  • 8 calls to action

    The homepage has 8 calls to action, for example “Hello. Sign in or register”, “Contact Us” and “Request a Quote”.

  • 2 short forms

    2 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Hotjar and Fathom.

Email authentication

2 to fix60
  • DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be glockstore.com is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.

  • No DKIM key on the usual selectors

    We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.

  • Email authentication score: 60/100

    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.

1 checks passed
  • SPF in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all”.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 5 trackers load before any consent

    5

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and Klaviyo (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.

  • 16 cookies set on arrival

    16

    Opening the homepage sets 16 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.

  • 20 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 20 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
