Speed

6 to fix60
  • Render-blocking requests

    6.5 s

    36 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 6.5 s.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.5 s · 472 KiB

    About 472 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.5 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 60

    60/100

    Your mobile performance score is 60. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Squarespace, Google Tag Manager and bc0a.com and others), adding 1.6 MB and 625 ms of main-thread time.

  • Squarespace adds 367 ms

    367 ms

    Squarespace costs a phone 367 ms of main-thread work and 819 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.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    300 ms · 56 KiB

    About 56 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 33 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 33 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    150 ms · 30 KiB

    4 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (30 KiB).

  • 6 long tasks on the main thread

    6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 158 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Improve image delivery

    51 KiB

    3 images could be 51 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 575 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 28 ms

    28 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 28 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix100
  • First Contentful Paint: 5.9 s

    5.9 s

    The first text or image appears after 5.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 5.9 s

    5.9 s

    Your largest element takes 5.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Select “Accept all” to agree to our use of cookies and simi…”.

  • Speed Index: 7.8 s

    7.8 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 7.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 10.0 s

    10.0 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 10.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • 1 image without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    -5%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 78 ms to 73 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -2%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.0 s to 1.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Real-user TTFB: 408 ms

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

100
  • 1 image below the first screen load straight away

    1 image further down the page (20 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.50 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.50 g of CO₂e: 59.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • Page weight: 1.8 MB in 83 requests

    1.8 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.8 MB in 83 requests on a phone: scripts 1.1 MB (47), images 291 KiB (7) and fonts 174 KiB (9). That is a lean page.

  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

5 to fixGoogle 9293
  • 11 text elements with low contrast

    11 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 (4 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 4 elements on the page fail 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.

  • 1 link without text

    1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.

  • Headings should not be empty (1 element)

    Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 6 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 39 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 44 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 39 passed and 5 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 10084
  • Title is short (16 characters)

    Your title is only 16 characters: “Lancer Insurance”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • 3 H1 headlines

    There are 3 <h1> headlines (“”, “<span style="line-height:0px; height:0px; padding…” and “Commercial Insurance Done Right”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • Structured data has 4 problems

    Structured data found (InsuranceAgency, LocalBusiness, Organization and Place) but with 4 problems, for example “WebSite: image is not an absolute URL ("//images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58530c911b631b89245…”.

5 checks passed

AI search readiness

100
  • 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.

3 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: 6 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 3 JavaScript errors while loading

    3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://static1.squarespace.com/static/custom-css/58530c911b631b89245744ab/59375a20197aeae…”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    10 of 12 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

2 to fix86
  • 1 broken external link

    1 link to other sites is dead, for example https://www.floridatransportationshow.com/2026 (404).

  • No Content-Security-Policy

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

  • Short HSTS lifetime

    HSTS is set, but max-age is 180 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.

  • 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 (lancerinsurance.com).

  • Valid certificate (35 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YR1 verifies for lancerinsurance.com and is valid for another 35 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

    X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.

  • http:// redirects to https

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

  • HTTP/2

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

Domain and trust

  • DNSSEC is off

    lancerinsurance.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 24 years old

    24 years

    lancerinsurance.com was registered in Jun 2002 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Certificate issuers are restricted

    CAA records allow only pki.goog, ssl.com, comodoca.com and digicert.com to issue certificates for lancerinsurance.com, so a mis-issued certificate from anyone else is refused.

  • Registered until Jun 2027

    lancerinsurance.com is registered until Jun 2027.

Content and conversion

1 to fix88
  • 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 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 318 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 318 words of visible text.

7 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

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

  • 4 calls to action

    The homepage has 4 calls to action, for example “Contact”, “Request A Quote” and “[email protected]”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 0 phone links and 1 email link.

  • Opening hours shown

    Your opening hours are on the homepage.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage.

  • 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.

Email authentication

95
  • Email authentication score: 95/100

    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 in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:%{ir}.%{v}.%{d}.spf.has.pphosted.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
  • 2 trackers load before any consent

    2

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads 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.

  • 1 cookie set on arrival

    1

    Opening the homepage sets 1 cookie (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.

  • 19 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 19 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Upkeep, stack and company

No signs of neglect in what was checked: the copyright year, CMS and plugin versions, and jQuery.
