Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.3 s · 358 KiBAbout 358 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.3 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 63
63/100Your mobile performance score is 63. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Google Tag Manager adds 307 ms
307 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 307 ms of main-thread work and 523 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.
1,700 HTML elements
The page has 1,700 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Shopify adds 25 ms
25 msShopify costs a phone 25 ms of main-thread work and 294 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, buysafe.com and Shopify and others), adding 934 KiB and 416 ms of main-thread time.
Render-blocking requests
200 ms1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 200 ms.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 35 KiB5 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (35 KiB).
4 long tasks on the main thread
4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 141 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
100 ms · 14 KiB1 image could be 14 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 100 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
95 KiBAbout 95 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
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.
Minify JavaScript
4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Minify CSS
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

First Contentful Paint: 2.8 s
2.8 sThe first text or image appears after 2.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
3 images without width and height

Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.4 MB in 191 requests
2.4 MBYour homepage downloads 2.4 MB in 191 requests on a phone: scripts 1,022 KiB (50), other files 903 KiB (122) and images 230 KiB (12). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit
0.67 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.67 g of CO₂e: 80.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
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
27 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
4 tap targets too small
4 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
Malformed lists
Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.
Orphan list items
Some list items are not inside a list.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 14 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
43 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 47 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 43 passed and 4 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
4 links with vague text
4 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
91 internal links, 9 external
The homepage links to 91 pages on headsets.com and 9 external pages.
8 checks passed
Meta description: 157 characters
Your meta description is 157 characters: “The best office headsets from leading brands like Leitner and Sennheiser. Guaranteed compatibility and 60-day trial per…”.
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Office Headset Experts Trusted by Over1.6 Million Customers”.
Title: 55 characters
Your title is a healthy 55 characters: “Headsets.com: Wireless, USB, Computer & Office Headsets”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.headsets.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: FAQPage, Organization and Website.
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://www.headsets.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
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: 5 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles) and contact details; description would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,212 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (2 KiB, 0 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
2 pages share a title
/pages/product-support and /pages/product_support all use the title “Headsets.com's Free Lifetime Product Support | Headsets.com”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
2 pages share a meta description
/pages/product-support and /pages/product_support use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
1 link to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example /pages/product_support, whose canonical is /pages/product-support. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
15 pages without an H1
/collections/wireless-headsets-for-office-phones, /collections/corded-headsets-for-desk-phones-and-computers, /pages/volume-purchasing-headsets, /collections/office-headsets-for-phone-and-computer, /pages/product-support and /pages/contact and 9 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
2 pages slow to respond
/pages/product_support and /pages/100-price-guarantee took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 35 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

Best practices
1 broken image
1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=4028314&tm=gtm002&Ver=2&mid=ae6aa22a-83de-4d67-b6d2-d4eb4511517e&bo=1&sid=c1d67e00dca511f197a84d47b0d736b0&vid=c1d6b850dca511f1a6f77dcb1888e624&vids=1&msclkid=N>m_ta.

Missing source maps
Large scripts ship without source maps.
2 checks passed
No console errors
No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
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 (headsets.com).
Valid certificate (47 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for headsets.com and is valid for another 47 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://headsets.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 47 links work
All 47 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 7 external) answered without errors; 6 did not answer within 5 s.
Domain and trust
DNSSEC is off
headsets.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.
3 checks passed
Domain is 31 years old
31 yearsheadsets.com was registered in May 1995 through DNC Holdings, Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Certificate issuers are restricted
CAA records allow only digicert.com, globalsign.com, letsencrypt.org and pki.goog to issue certificates for headsets.com, so a mis-issued certificate from anyone else is refused.
Registered until May 2027
headsets.com is registered until May 2027.
Content and conversion
No call to action on the first screen
On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 135 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
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 1,070 words of copy
The homepage carries about 1,070 words of visible text.
6 checks passed
12 calls to action
The homepage has 12 calls to action, for example “Call Center Headsets”, “Contact” and “Request a callback”.
3 short forms
3 short forms (2 fields at most) are right on the homepage.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.
Direct contact links
Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 1 email link.
Phone number on the homepage
Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.
Risk reducer mentioned
A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.
Email authentication
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 ip4:208.156.115.243 ip4:208.156.115.3 include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:servers.mcsv.net include:sendgr…”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”, “k1” and “s1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
4 trackers load before any consent
4Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Microsoft Ads (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
15Opening the homepage sets 15 cookies, 2 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.
17 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 17 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 2 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.
