Live view · interaction off

Speed

12 to fix39
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    3.3 s · 4.4 MB

    169 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (4.4 MB).

  • Render-blocking requests

    6.6 s

    41 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 6.6 s.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    2.1 s · 618 KiB

    About 618 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.1 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 39

    39/100

    Your mobile performance score is 39 (desktop: 68). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    450 ms · 1.6 MB

    About 1.6 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    1.6 MB

    16 images could be 1.6 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • 7 third-party services on the page

    7 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, YouTube and Accessibe Accessibility Overlay and others), adding 3.0 MB and 1.2 s of main-thread time.

  • Google CDN adds 532 ms

    532 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 532 ms of main-thread work and 1.4 MB 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.

  • YouTube adds 366 ms

    366 ms

    YouTube costs a phone 366 ms of main-thread work and 995 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.

  • Font display

    400 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 400 ms).

  • Main-thread work: 3.9 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Accessibe Accessibility Overlay adds 192 ms

    192 ms

    Accessibe Accessibility Overlay costs a phone 192 ms of main-thread work and 485 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.

  • Minify CSS

    150 ms · 32 KiB

    32 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • 14 long tasks on the main thread

    14 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 164 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Document request latency

    109 KiB

    The HTML itself could arrive sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.

  • Phones get a much slower page than desktops

    Desktop scores 68 but mobile only 39. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

  • Minify JavaScript

    8 KiB

    8 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 429 ms

    429 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 429 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

14 to fix0
  • 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: 6.9 s

    6.9 s

    Real visitors wait 6.9 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user FCP: 5.8 s

    5.8 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 5.8 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 2.5 s

    2.5 s

    Real visitors wait 2.5 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Speed Index: 21.1 s

    21.1 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 21.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 40.1 s

    40.1 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 40.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 6.8 s

    6.8 s

    The first text or image appears after 6.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 7.1 s

    7.1 s

    Your largest element takes 7.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image. Most of its time is resource load duration (5.6 s).

  • Real-user CLS: 0.25

    0.25

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.25 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Tap response (INP) got 31% slower for real visitors

    +31%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 66 ms to 76 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 48% slower for real visitors

    +48%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 4.6 s to 6.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.204

    0.204

    The layout shifts by 0.204 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • 38 images without width and height

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

  • Total Blocking Time: 340 ms

    340 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 340 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

2 to fix60
  • Page weight: 8.3 MB in 213 requests

    8.3 MB

    Your homepage downloads 8.3 MB in 213 requests on a phone: scripts 3.6 MB (69), images 1.9 MB (39) and stylesheets 1.3 MB (74). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 2 images far larger than shown

    124 KiB

    2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example brookslogo.png at 712 px wide, shown at 123 px. Resized copies would save about 124 KiB.

  • 2 images in older formats

    2 images (152 KiB) 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 2.4 g of CO₂ per visit

    2.36 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.36 g of CO₂e: 283.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images load when needed

    Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.

Accessibility

7 to fixGoogle 9292
  • 21 text elements with low contrast

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (27 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 27 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Banner landmark should not be contained in another landmark (1 element)

    Banner landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Document should not have more than one banner landmark (1 element)

    Document should not have more than one banner landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 2 links without text

    2 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.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 66 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 50 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 43 passed and 7 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 fixGoogle 9273
  • No meta description

    No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • No H1 headline

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

  • No structured data

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

  • 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 X (Twitter) card tag

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

  • 55 internal links, 1 external

    The homepage links to 55 pages on ibuy.com and 1 external page.

4 checks passed
  • Title: 39 characters

    Your title is a healthy 39 characters: “iBuy – Consumer Electronics Distributor”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://ibuy.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://ibuy.com/wp-sitemap.xml.

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

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 11 pages without a meta description

    /about-us, /team, /facilities, /giving-back, /privacy-policy and /government-education and 5 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 11 pages without an H1

    /about-us, /team, /facilities, /giving-back, /privacy-policy and /government-education and 5 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 2 pages with very little text

    /subscribe and /video have under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

  • 2 pages slow to respond

    /facilities and /video took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

  • 11 internal pages checked

    We fetched 11 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 11 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 11 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 7391
  • 5 third-party cookies

    5 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)”.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    5 of 6 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

3 to fix75
  • 1 broken external link

    1 link to other sites is dead, for example https://portal.ibuy.com/ (500).

  • No HSTS header

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

  • No Content-Security-Policy

    No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • HTTP/1.1 only

    The server only offers HTTP/1.1, so browsers open several connections and load files more slowly. Most hosts and CDNs turn on HTTP/2 with a setting.

  • 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 X-Content-Type-Options

    X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.

  • 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.

  • No security.txt

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

3 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

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

  • Valid certificate (65 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YR2 verifies for ibuy.com and is valid for another 65 days.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://ibuy.com redirects to the secure version.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    ibuy.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

    ibuy.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

    ibuy.com was registered in Dec 1995 through Wild West Domains, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Dec 2028

    ibuy.com is registered until Dec 2028.

Content and conversion

2 to fix63
  • 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 analytics detected

    No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

  • 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 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 403 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 403 words of visible text.

2 checks passed
  • 8 calls to action

    The homepage has 8 calls to action, for example “Contact Us”, “Subscribe” and “Contact us”.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 35 testimonial or review blocks and “Over 300 brands”.

Email authentication

1 to fix75
  • DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be ibuy.com is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.

  • Email authentication score: 75/100

    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 ip4:50.226.200.106 ip4:50.226.200.108 include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:_spf.smtp.com -all”.

  • DKIM signing found

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

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 1 tracker load before any consent

    1

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google 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.

  • 1 cookie set on arrival

    1

    Opening the homepage sets 1 cookie, 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.

  • 10 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 10 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
