Speed

10 to fix31
  • Wix adds 1.6 s

    1.6 s

    Wix costs a phone 1.6 s of main-thread work and 5.9 MB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

  • Mobile performance score: 31

    31/100

    Your mobile performance score is 31. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 7.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 7.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 7,316 HTML elements

    The page has 7,316 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Wix, Google Tag Manager and Facebook and others), adding 7.0 MB and 2.6 s of main-thread time.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 1.1 s. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    650 KiB

    About 650 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 496 ms

    496 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 496 ms of main-thread work and 588 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.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    271 KiB

    11 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (271 KiB).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    260 KiB

    About 260 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    150 ms · 33 KiB

    33 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    150 ms · 13 KiB

    2 images could be 13 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Font display

    100 ms

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

  • Legacy JavaScript

    35 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 35 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Minify CSS

    13 KiB

    13 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Minify JavaScript

    6 KiB

    6 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 153 ms

    153 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 153 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

11 to fix33
  • 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: 5.7 s

    5.7 s

    Real visitors wait 5.7 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 643 ms

  • Real-user FCP: 4.4 s

    4.4 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 4.4 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 10.1 s

    10.1 s

    Your largest element takes 10.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Your nationwide security partner”. Most of its time is resource load delay (4.4 s).

  • Time to Interactive: 27.1 s

    27.1 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 27.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 10.9 s

    10.9 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 10.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 2.0 s

    2.0 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 2.0 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 3.8 s

    3.8 s

    The first text or image appears after 3.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Tap response (INP) got 204% slower for real visitors

    +204%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 312 ms to 771 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Real-user TTFB: 923 ms

    923 ms

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    0%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 5.9 s to 5.7 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

2 checks passed
  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 9.1 MB in 365 requests

    9.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 9.1 MB in 365 requests on a phone: images 4.0 MB (34), scripts 2.3 MB (128) and other files 2.1 MB (190). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 2.6 g of CO₂ per visit

    2.59 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.59 g of CO₂e: 310.6 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

3 to fixGoogle 9495
  • 32 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 9 tap targets too small

    9 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • 23 links without text

    23 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (5 elements).

1 checks passed
  • 44 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: 44 passed and 3 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 9286
  • No H1 headline

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

  • Only 0 internal links

    The homepage links to only 0 pages on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.

  • 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.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 144 characters

    Your meta description is 144 characters: “IronSite provides turnkey perimeter security solutions including automatic gates, access control, security barriers, bo…”.

  • Title: 62 characters

    Your title is a healthy 62 characters: “Automatic Gates, Bollards, Barriers, Overhead Doors | IronSite”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.ironsite.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: LocalBusiness.

  • 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.ironsite.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

2 to fix63
  • Most text only appears after JavaScript runs

    0%

    A phone browser shows 614 words, but the HTML your server sends has only 0. GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot read that HTML without running JavaScript, so they see an almost empty page. Server-side rendering or pre-rendering fixes it.

  • Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, sameAs (social profiles) and description. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

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.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://www.ironsite.com/llms.txt (4 KiB, 3 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “globalThis.defineStrictProperty is not a function”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

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

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

5 to fix43
  • 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 calls to action

    We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.

  • No social proof

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

  • No analytics detected

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

  • No direct contact details

    No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

  • No opening hours

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

  • 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 614 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 614 words of visible text.

2 checks passed
  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call 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.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 4 trackers load before any consent

    4

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel, Microsoft Ads and Microsoft Clarity (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.

  • 11 cookies set on arrival

    11

    Opening the homepage sets 11 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.

  • 23 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 23 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Security, domain, email and software versions

The security, domain and email checks, software and plugin versions, and any app with a known security problem are visible only to people at ironsite.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
