Speed
Render-blocking requests
1.4 s8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.
Mobile performance score: 47
47/100Your mobile performance score is 47. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 6.5 s
A phone's processor spends 6.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Google CDN and Klaviyo and others), adding 2.3 MB and 1.4 s of main-thread time.
Shopify adds 784 ms
784 msShopify costs a phone 784 ms of main-thread work and 897 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 JavaScript
20 ms · 797 KiBAbout 797 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 20 ms faster on a phone.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 777 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
450 ms · 250 KiBAbout 250 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Google CDN adds 298 ms
298 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 298 ms of main-thread work and 736 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.
Klaviyo adds 201 ms
201 msKlaviyo costs a phone 201 ms of main-thread work and 607 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.
2,585 HTML elements
The page has 2,585 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Improve image delivery
65 KiB3 images could be 65 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
59 KiB15 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (59 KiB).
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Minify JavaScript
29 KiB29 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Legacy JavaScript
28 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 28 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify CSS
6 KiB6 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 5.8 MB in 246 requests
5.8 MBYour homepage downloads 5.8 MB in 246 requests on a phone: scripts 3.0 MB (122), images 1.2 MB (17) and other files 1.1 MB (73). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
1025_banner_landscape_copy-High-Quality_800x.jpg is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
About 1.6 g of CO₂ per visit
1.65 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.65 g of CO₂e: 197.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
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
3 tap targets too small
3 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes (2 elements)
Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
1 text element with low contrast
1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (8 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 8 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
7 links without text
7 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
2 form fields without a label
2 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 21 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
53 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 58 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 53 passed and 5 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
Meta description is long (191 characters)
Your meta description is 191 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, 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.
405 internal links, 9 external
The homepage links to 405 pages on lbclighting.com and 9 external pages.
5 checks passed
Title: 60 characters
Your title is a healthy 60 characters: “Commercial LED Lights | Contemporary Lighting | LBC Lighting”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.lbclighting.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: Organization and WebSite.
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.lbclighting.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
Opted out of AI training for 1 crawler
robots.txt blocks Google-Extended, which collect pages to train models. That's a legitimate choice and doesn't by itself stop the site appearing in AI answers, which the crawlers above handle.
4 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: 5 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles) and description; contact details would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,623 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (15 KiB, 64 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
9 pages without an H1
/collections/recessed-lighting, /collections/housing-trims, /collections/retrofit-trims, /collections/miniature-recessed, /collections/commercial-recessed and /collections/trims and 3 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

Best practices
1 broken image
1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://lantern.roeye.com/track.php?fingerprint=392c801a-ce54-4cb1-8800-06d6306bbf47&referrer=&landingpage=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lbclighting.com%2F&useragent=Mozilla%2F5.0%20(iPhone%3B%20CPU%20iPhone%20OS.
5 small tap targets
5 of 20 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
3 JavaScript errors while loading
3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 403 ()”.
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
Short HSTS lifetime
HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 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.
Deprecated X-XSS-Protection
X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; 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.
7 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (lbclighting.com).
Valid certificate (53 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE2 verifies for lbclighting.com and is valid for another 53 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:// redirects to https
http://lbclighting.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2 and HTTP/3
The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, 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.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
lbclighting.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
lbclighting.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 21 years old
21 yearslbclighting.com was registered in Dec 2004 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Dec 2035
lbclighting.com is registered until Dec 2035.
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.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 1 testimonial or review block. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
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 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 277 words of copy
The homepage carries about 277 words of visible text.
Urgency cues
The page uses urgency cues (a countdown or limited-time wording).
2 checks passed
6 calls to action
The homepage has 6 calls to action, for example “Shop LED Linear >”, “Sign up” and “Contact Us”.
3 short forms
3 short forms (2 fields at most) are right on the homepage.
Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be lbclighting.com is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.
No DKIM key on the usual selectors
We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.
Email authentication score: 65/100
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.
1 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 -all”.
Privacy and tracking
4 trackers load before any consent
4Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Klaviyo (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.
12 cookies set on arrival
12Opening the homepage sets 12 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.
33 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 33 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
Apps on your store
Your storefront loads 13 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
None of the apps your storefront loads is on the list of apps with a known security problem.
Apps your storefront loads
