Speed

11 to fix61
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.2 s · 761 KiB

    About 761 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.2 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 61

    61/100

    Your mobile performance score is 61. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (ZenDesk, route.com and Klaviyo and others), adding 1.5 MB and 844 ms of main-thread time.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    578 KiB

    10 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (578 KiB).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    450 ms · 96 KiB

    About 96 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • ZenDesk adds 335 ms

    335 ms

    ZenDesk costs a phone 335 ms of main-thread work and 477 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 long tasks on the main thread

    6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 358 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • route.com adds 301 ms

    301 ms

    route.com costs a phone 301 ms of main-thread work and 542 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.

  • Render-blocking requests

    350 ms

    3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 350 ms.

  • Main-thread work: 3.0 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 2,104 HTML elements

    The page has 2,104 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Improve image delivery

    168 KiB

    10 images could be 168 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    50 ms · 26 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 26 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 50 ms faster on a phone.

  • Minify CSS

    6 KiB

    6 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 7 ms

    7 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 7 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 10.9 s

    10.9 s

    Your largest element takes 10.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 16.8 s

    16.8 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 16.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 5.4 s

    5.4 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 357 ms

    357 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 357 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.9 s

    1.9 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Tap response (INP) got 14% slower for real visitors

    +14%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 113 ms to 128 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

8 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

  • Real-user LCP: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    Real visitors wait 1.1 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 121 ms

    121 ms

    Real visitors wait 121 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 0.8 s

    0.8 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 0.8 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 387 ms

    387 ms

    Real visitors wait 387 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 32% faster for real visitors

    -32%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.6 s to 1.1 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.025

    0.025

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.025, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

2 to fix81
  • Page weight: 3.7 MB in 373 requests

    3.7 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.7 MB in 373 requests on a phone: scripts 1.6 MB (149), images 1.0 MB (84) and other files 887 KiB (128). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    Home_Page_Main_Banner_Vertical-12.png is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (34 KiB) is 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.

  • About 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.05 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.05 g of CO₂e: 126.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

5 to fixGoogle 9493
  • Hidden but focusable

    10 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.

  • 2 text elements with low contrast

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (17 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 17 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 6 links without text

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

  • Headings should not be empty (1 element)

    Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 157 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 46 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: 46 passed and 5 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 9285
  • Title is long (96 characters)

    Your title is 96 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “External Hard Drives & Storage Solutions | Glyph Production Tech – Glyph Production Techn…”.

  • No structured data

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

  • No favicon declared

    No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.

  • 2 links with vague text

    2 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

  • 84 internal links, 23 external

    The homepage links to 84 pages on glyphtech.com and 23 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 155 characters

    Your meta description is 155 characters: “Glyph technologies has digital data storage solutions and the industry's best warranty. Shop external hard drives, glyp…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Glyph Production Technologies”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Open Graph tags complete

    Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.

  • 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://glyphtech.com/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.

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 (1,071 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 3 pages without a meta description

    /pages/glyph-atom-ex-high-intensity-ssds, /pages/capture-cfexpress-type-b and /collections/camera-media have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 11 pages without an H1

    /pages/glyph-atom-ex-high-intensity-ssds, /pages/capture-cfexpress-type-b, /collections/portable, /collections/desktop-drives, /pages/glyph-securedrive and /collections/camera-media and 5 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 3 pages slow to respond

    /pages/capture-cfexpress-type-b, /collections/portable and /collections/desktop-drives took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 34 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    12 pages of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).

  • 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 12 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 7785
  • 7 small tap targets

    7 of 23 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 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.”).

  • 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 404 ()”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

100
  • Short HSTS lifetime

    HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

  • 1 link through redirect chains

    1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://glyphtech.com/account.

  • 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.

  • 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.

7 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

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

  • Valid certificate (62 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE2 verifies for glyphtech.com and is valid for another 62 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

    X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.

  • Content-Security-Policy set

    A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://glyphtech.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 51 links work

    All 51 links checked from your homepage (38 internal, 13 external) answered without errors; 2 did not answer within 5 s.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    glyphtech.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.

Content and conversion

2 to fix75
  • 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 analytics detected

    No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

  • 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 594 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 594 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: “Shop Type-A” and “Shop Dual SD”.

  • 22 calls to action

    The homepage has 22 calls to action, for example “Contact Us”, “Quick shop” and “Shop All Expand submenu”.

  • 5 short forms

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

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 0 email links.

Email authentication

100
  • Email authentication score: 100/100

    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: reject

    DMARC tells receivers to reject 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 -all”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1” and “selector2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 6 trackers load before any consent

    6

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel and 1 more (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.

  • 15 cookies set on arrival

    15

    Opening the homepage sets 15 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.

  • 29 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 29 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Apps on your store

Your storefront loads 8 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.

None of the apps your storefront loads is on the list of apps with a known security problem.
