Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Render-blocking requests
2.1 s22 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.1 s.
Improve image delivery
3.8 MB10 images could be 3.8 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Mobile performance score: 80
80/100Your mobile performance score is 80. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
300 ms · 197 KiBAbout 197 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, office-cloud-52.com and JSDelivr CDN and others), adding 312 KiB and 229 ms of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 50 KiB9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (50 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 27 KiBAbout 27 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 26 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 26 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
2 long tasks on the main thread
2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 113 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Minify JavaScript
8 KiB8 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
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.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 0.8 s
A phone's processor spends 0.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 428 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 60 ms
60 msYour server sent the HTML in 60 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors
Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.
Real-user LCP: 4.4 s
4.4 sReal visitors wait 4.4 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.
Real-user CLS: 1.12
1.12For real visitors the layout shifts by 1.12 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
Real-user FCP: 4.5 s
4.5 sReal visitors see the first content after 4.5 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
Real-user TTFB: 2.6 s
2.6 sReal visitors wait 2.6 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
Speed Index: 10.6 s
10.6 sVisually, the page fills in at 10.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
First Contentful Paint: 3.0 s
3.0 sThe first text or image appears after 3.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Tap response (INP) got 22% slower for real visitors
+22%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 94 ms to 109 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Time to Interactive: 5.5 s
5.5 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 5.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 3.0 s
3.0 sYour largest element takes 3.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Always in Process”. Most of its time is element render delay (2.3 s).
Largest content (LCP) got 16% slower for real visitors
+16%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 4.2 s to 4.4 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Real-user INP: 121 ms
121 msReal visitors wait 121 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Total Blocking Time: 44 ms
44 msScripts block the page for only 44 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 12.2 MB in 91 requests
12.2 MBYour homepage downloads 12.2 MB in 91 requests on a phone: media 6.3 MB (2), images 5.0 MB (23) and scripts 604 KiB (33). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
10 images far larger than shown
3.0 MB10 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example warner-1.jpg at 2,400 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 3.0 MB.
2 images over 500 KB
2 images weigh 1.2 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
10 images in older formats
10 images (4.0 MB) are 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.
10 images below the first screen load straight away
10 images further down the page (4.0 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 3.5 g of CO₂ per visit
3.45 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.45 g of CO₂e: 414.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
10 images without alt text
10 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (15 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 15 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
3 links without text
3 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
37 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 43 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 37 passed and 6 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 short (24 characters)
Your title is only 24 characters: “Home - Hoar Construction”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
3 links with vague text
3 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
84 internal links, 8 external
The homepage links to 84 pages on hoar.com and 8 external pages.
6 checks passed

Your meta description is 156 characters: “Experience and relationships matter at Hoar Construction. Our mission is to build better, smarter, and safer for our cl…”.

Organization data: 4 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (464 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (4 KiB, 51 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
1 page without an H1
/careers has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

Security and trust
No Content-Security-Policy
No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
No clickjacking protection
Neither X-Frame-Options nor a CSP frame-ancestors policy is set, so any site can embed yours in a frame.
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”; 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.
6 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (hoar.com).
Valid certificate (72 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YR2 verifies for hoar.com and is valid for another 72 days.
HSTS enabled
Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.
http:// redirects to https
http://hoar.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2
The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.
All 45 links work
All 45 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 5 external) answered without errors; 1 did not answer within 5 s.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
hoar.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
hoar.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

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.
No social proof

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 ip4:104.152.224.62 ip4:192.111.24.116 ip4:173.227.144.99 ip4:173.227.144.125 ip4:173.227.144.118 ip4:4.4.168.138…”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”, “selector2” and “s1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
3 trackers load before any consent
