Speed
Not measured in this review.
Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors
Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on your site (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.
Real-user INP: 421 ms
421 msReal visitors wait 421 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.
Real-user CLS: 0.11

-14%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.7 s to 1.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 9.1 MB
9.1 MBYour homepage downloads 9.1 MB on a phone, 5.1 MB of it images (57%). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image over 500 KB
Frame_40917_5.jpg weighs 568 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
8 images far larger than shown
670 KiB8 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example Frame_40917_10.jpg at 1,920 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 670 KiB.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
Mobile_Hero_38.jpg 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).
2 images below the first screen load straight away
2 images further down the page (351 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
1 image in older formats
1 image (70 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 2.6 g of CO₂ per visit
2.57 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.57 g of CO₂e: 308.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
2 buttons without a name
2 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
Images must have alternative text (1 element)
Images must have alternative text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.
11 text elements with low contrast
11 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Hidden but focusable
4 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
5 links without text
5 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (2 elements)
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h5, h3 → h6 and h2 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
44 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 passed and 9 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
2 H1 headlines
There are 2 <h1> headlines (“GUNNER” and “GUNNER”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Meta description is long (317 characters)
Your meta description is 317 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
Structured data has 3 problems
Structured data found (BreadcrumbList, Organization, Store and WebPage) but with 3 problems, for example “WebSite: url is not an absolute URL ("gunner.com")”.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
161 internal links, 11 external
The homepage links to 161 pages on gunner.com and 11 external pages.
4 checks passed
Title: 51 characters
Your title is a healthy 51 characters: “GUNNER | The Safest Dog Kennels | Man's Best Friend”.

AI search readiness
4 checks passed

Organization data: 6 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,734 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
4 pages without a meta description
/collections/food-water, /collections/bundles, /pages/safety and /pages/films have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
9 pages without an H1
/collections/accessories, /collections/food-water, /collections/gunner-wear, /collections/bundles, /collections/chene and /collections/mossy-oak and 3 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
4 pages slow to respond
/pages/our-story, /pages/safety, /pages/films and /pages/contact took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

Security and trust
Short HSTS lifetime

Valid certificate (46 days left)

Protected from clickjacking

http:// redirects to https
http://gunner.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2 and HTTP/3

All 46 links work
All 46 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 6 external) answered without errors; 21 did not answer within 5 s.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
gunner.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.
