Speed

11 to fix60
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.4 s · 399 KiB

    About 399 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.4 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    2.3 s · 321 KiB

    12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (321 KiB).

  • 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 (Hotjar, causalfunnel.com and Affirm and others), adding 1.3 MB and 809 ms of main-thread time.

  • Improve image delivery

    350 ms · 167 KiB

    4 images could be 167 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 350 ms faster on a phone.

  • 5 long tasks on the main thread

    5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 436 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Render-blocking requests

    350 ms

    4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 350 ms.

  • Hotjar adds 276 ms

    276 ms

    Hotjar costs a phone 276 ms of main-thread work and 272 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.

  • Main-thread work: 2.6 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • causalfunnel.com adds 253 ms

    253 ms

    causalfunnel.com costs a phone 253 ms of main-thread work and 72 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.

  • Shopify adds 12 ms

    12 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 12 ms of main-thread work and 360 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

    28 KiB

    About 28 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    17 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 17 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Minify CSS

    11 KiB

    11 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 9 ms

    9 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 9 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

7 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 12.6 s

    12.6 s

    Your largest element takes 12.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “MAGNAFLOW CATALYTIC CONVERTERS Keeping The Light Off Since …”.

  • Time to Interactive: 12.7 s

    12.7 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 12.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 7.8 s

  • Largest content (LCP) got 29% slower for real visitors

    +29%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.2 s to 1.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Total Blocking Time: 292 ms

    292 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 292 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.9 s

    1.9 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

7 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

  • Real-user LCP: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    Real visitors wait 1.1 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 173 ms

    173 ms

  • Real-user FCP: 0.9 s

    0.9 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 0.9 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 480 ms

    480 ms

    Real visitors wait 480 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • 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: 18.3 MB in 123 requests

    18.3 MB

    Your homepage downloads 18.3 MB in 123 requests on a phone: media 15.9 MB (4), scripts 1,013 KiB (49) and other files 680 KiB (47). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 5.2 g of CO₂ per visit

    5.19 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 5.19 g of CO₂e: 622.4 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

2 to fixGoogle 10098
  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails 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 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 14 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 42 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: 42 passed and 2 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 long (68 characters)

    Your title is 68 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “MagnaFlow Exhaust, Mufflers & Cat Converters - Quality. Power. Sound”.

  • No structured data

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

  • 2 H1 headlines

    There are 2 <h1> headlines (“Performance Exhaust” and “Performance Exhaust”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • Open Graph partly set

    Open Graph is missing og:title and og:description, so shared links fall back to guesses.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

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

  • 15 internal links, 38 external

    The homepage links to 15 pages on magnaflow.com and 38 external pages.

4 checks passed
  • Meta description: 93 characters

    Your meta description is 93 characters: “Discover performance exhaust, OE replacement exhaust and catalytic converters from MagnaFlow.”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.magnaflow.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://www.magnaflow.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix83
  • 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.

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.magnaflow.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

3 to fix69
  • 1 linked page is broken

    Your homepage links to https://www.magnaflow.com/apps/tracktor/track, which answers with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop it.

  • 2 pages share a meta description

    https://www.magnaflow.com/blogs/magnaflow and https://www.magnaflow.com/pages/frequently-asked-questions use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 4 pages without an H1

    https://www.magnaflow.com/pages/careers, https://www.magnaflow.com/pages/magnaflow-events, https://www.magnaflow.com/pages/new-vehicle-request and https://www.magnaflow.com/pages/frequently-asked-questions have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 11 internal pages checked

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

5 checks passed
  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 10 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • 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 10 pages that loaded have a <title>.

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 “Cannot read properties of null (reading 'setAttribute')”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    22 of 27 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

4 to fix67
  • 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 social proof

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

  • 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.

  • Only about 145 words

    The homepage has only about 145 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • No opening hours

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

  • 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.

5 checks passed
  • 5 calls to action

    The homepage has 5 calls to action, for example “Contact Us”, “Track Your Order” and “New Vehicle Request”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Hotjar.

  • Direct contact links

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

  • Phone number on the homepage

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

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 1 tracker load before any consent

    1

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Hotjar (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.

  • 6 cookies set on arrival

    6

    Opening the homepage sets 6 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.

  • 14 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 14 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 magnaflow.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.

Apps on your store

Your storefront loads 2 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
