Speed

5 to fix76
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.8 s

    29 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.8 s.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    1.2 s · 221 KiB

    About 221 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.2 s faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    4.1 MB

    8 images could be 4.1 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Mobile performance score: 76

    76/100

    Your mobile performance score is 76 (desktop: 69). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Main-thread work: 2.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 936 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 6 third-party services on the page

    6 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Cloudflare and Google/Doubleclick Ads and others), adding 211 KiB and 235 ms of main-thread time.

  • 5 long tasks on the main thread

    5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 143 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    100 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    58 KiB

    About 58 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    10 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 10 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    5 KiB

    2 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (5 KiB).

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 25 ms

    25 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 25 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix86
  • Time to Interactive: 20.3 s

    20.3 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 20.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 11.0 s

    11.0 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 11.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.7 s

    2.7 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.7 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 3.3 s

    3.3 s

    Your largest element takes 3.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “We Provide Elastic Components that Make Your Products Work”. Most of its time is element render delay (2.6 s).

  • 9 images without width and height

    9 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • Not enough real-visitor data yet

    Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

2 checks passed
  • Total Blocking Time: 168 ms

    168 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 168 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.067

    0.067

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.067, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

3 to fix45
  • Page weight: 5.6 MB in 247 requests

    5.6 MB

    Your homepage downloads 5.6 MB in 247 requests on a phone: images 4.5 MB (10), scripts 717 KiB (187) and stylesheets 292 KiB (25). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 3 images over 500 KB

    3 images weigh 1.7 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 5 images in older formats

    5 images (2.1 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.

  • About 1.6 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.59 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.59 g of CO₂e: 191.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • 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

4 to fixGoogle 9093
  • Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children (1 element)

    Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • 1 button without a name

    1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • 38 text elements with low contrast

    38 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • Links must have discernible text (14 elements)

    Links must have discernible text: 14 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 44 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 51 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 55 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 51 passed and 4 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

7 to fixGoogle 9167
  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • Title is short (7 characters)

    Your title is only 7 characters: “Hygenic”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • No canonical URL

    No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • No XML sitemap

    No XML sitemap at https://www.hygenic.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

  • 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.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

  • 141 internal links, 2 external

    The homepage links to 141 pages on hygenic.com and 2 external pages.

2 checks passed
  • Meta description: 120 characters

    Your meta description is 120 characters: “We Provide Elastic Components that Make Your Products Work. Specializing in Custom Natural & Synthetic Rubber Solutions.”.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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.

  • No llms.txt

    There is no /llms.txt, a short Markdown guide to your key pages for AI tools (llmstxt.org). It is optional and few AI tools read it yet, so treat it as a cheap extra.

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 (821 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 2 pages without a meta description

    /industries-we-serve and /services have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 15 pages without an H1

    /products, /sheeting-natural-rubber-latex, /sheeting-synthetic-polyisoprene, /rubber-sheeting-thermoplastic, /elastomer-tubing-natural-rubber-latex and /tubing-dry-natural-rubber and 9 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 20 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

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 13 small tap targets

    13 of 33 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Content security policy”).

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

3 to fix75
  • 1 broken link to your own pages

    1 link from your homepage to your own site is broken, for example https://www.hygenic.com/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection (404).

  • http:// does not redirect

    http://hygenic.com does not redirect to https, so some visitors land on the insecure version.

  • No HSTS header

    No Strict-Transport-Security header, so browsers may still try plain http first on a return visit.

  • 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”; 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.

5 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

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

  • Valid certificate (39 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for hygenic.com and is valid for another 39 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/2 and HTTP/3

    The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    hygenic.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

    hygenic.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 30 years old

    30 years

    hygenic.com was registered in Jun 1996 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Jun 2027

    hygenic.com is registered until Jun 2027.

Content and conversion

2 to fix83
  • 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: 2 trust badges. 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.

  • Phone number is not tap-to-call

    Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.

  • No form on the homepage

    There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

  • No map or directions link

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

  • 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 882 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 882 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “GET YOUR QUOTE”.

  • 12 calls to action

    The homepage has 12 calls to action, for example “Contact Us”, “Request a Quote” and “GET YOUR QUOTE”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and Cloudflare Web Analytics.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage.

Email authentication

1 to fix50
  • No DMARC policy

    hygenic.com has no DMARC record, so nothing tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF or DKIM. Gmail and Yahoo require DMARC from bulk senders.

  • Email authentication score: 50/100

    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.

2 checks passed
  • 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 include:spf.constantcontact.com include:hubspotemail.net ip4:98.103.33.18 -all”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”, “selector2” and “hs1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (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.

  • 16 cookies set on arrival

    16

    Opening the homepage sets 16 cookies (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.

  • 7 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 7 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
