glyphtech.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.2 s · 761 KiBAbout 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
61/100Your 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 KiB10 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (578 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
450 ms · 96 KiBAbout 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 msZenDesk 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 msroute.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 ms3 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 KiB10 images could be 168 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Legacy JavaScript
50 ms · 26 KiBPolyfills 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 KiB6 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.

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.025
0.025The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.025, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.7 MB in 373 requests
3.7 MBYour 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 gBy 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
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
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

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
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
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

Best practices
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.

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

Security and trust
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
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

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.
