Core Web Vitals

4 to fix33
  • 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 ms

    Real visitors wait 421 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.11

    0.11

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.11 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Tap response (INP) got 24% slower for real visitors

    +24%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 262 ms to 355 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

4 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 1.5 s

    1.5 s

    Real visitors wait 1.5 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.1 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 428 ms

    428 ms

    Real visitors wait 428 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 14% faster for real visitors

    -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

5 to fix29
  • Page weight: 9.1 MB

    9.1 MB

    Your 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 KiB

    8 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 g

    By 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

8 to fix88
  • 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

4 to fix83
  • 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”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://gunner.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://gunner.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
4 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.

  • 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

2 to fix90
  • 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.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 70 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 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.

  • 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 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fix78
  • 1 broken image

    1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=134596593&Ver=2&mid=02c7a78b-7978-4826-91fd-199a5626eb1b&bo=1&sid=23bc1f00daa211f1b8cb1708442735c5&vid=23bc36e0daa211f1bc87f1fc9efccf0d&vids=1&msclkid=N&pi=918639831&l.

  • 3 JavaScript errors while loading

    3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_SOCKET_NOT_CONNECTED”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    19 of 23 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • No security.txt

    There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

7 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

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

  • Valid certificate (46 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE2 verifies for gunner.com and is valid for another 46 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://gunner.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 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.

  • DNSSEC is off

    gunner.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 22 years old

    22 years

    gunner.com was registered in Jan 2004 through GoDaddy Online Services Cayman Islands Ltd.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Jan 2033

    gunner.com is registered until Jan 2033.

Content and conversion

1 to fix94
  • No phone number on the homepage

    A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.

  • No opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • No map or directions link

    There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

  • About 549 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 549 words of visible text.

8 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “SHOP COLLECTION” and “SHOP ALL KENNELS”.

  • 27 calls to action

    The homepage has 27 calls to action, for example “Contact Us”, “Shop All” and “Shop”.

  • 2 short forms

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

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 5 testimonial or review blocks, a star rating and 7 trust badges.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics.

  • Direct contact links

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

  • LocalBusiness structured data

    Your homepage describes the business with LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants can read its address, hours and phone reliably.

  • Risk reducer mentioned

    A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.

Email authentication

85
  • Email authentication score: 85/100

    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 in place (~all)

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

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “google”, “s1” and “s2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 9 trackers load before any consent

    9

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel and 4 mores (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.

  • 34 cookies set on arrival

    34

    Opening the homepage sets 34 cookies, 1 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.

  • 64 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 64 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 21 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.

Apps your storefront loads
