Speed

9 to fix49
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.7 s · 555 KiB

    About 555 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.7 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.6 s · 318 KiB

    8 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (318 KiB).

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.0 s

    13 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.0 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 49

    49/100

    Your mobile performance score is 49. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Affirm and productcustomizer.com and others), adding 1,004 KiB and 1.2 s of main-thread time.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 477 ms

    477 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 477 ms of main-thread work and 464 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.

  • Improve image delivery

    300 ms · 113 KiB

    7 images could be 113 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Affirm adds 367 ms

    367 ms

    Affirm costs a phone 367 ms of main-thread work and 169 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.

  • 7 long tasks on the main thread

    7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 245 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    100 ms · 34 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 34 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 100 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    10 ms · 50 KiB

    About 50 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 10 ms faster on a phone.

  • Minify JavaScript

    30 ms · 13 KiB

    13 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.

  • Minify CSS

    4 KiB

    4 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    1 KiB

    1 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 3 ms

    3 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 3 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix48
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 13.6 s

    13.6 s

    Your largest element takes 13.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Mailbox Systems”.

  • Time to Interactive: 13.8 s

    13.8 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 13.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 6.7 s

    6.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 6.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 689 ms

    689 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 689 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.2 s

    2.2 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 15 images without width and height

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

  • Not enough real-visitor data yet

    Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

1 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 2.9 MB in 212 requests

    2.9 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.9 MB in 212 requests on a phone: scripts 1.2 MB (78), other files 746 KiB (99) and images 725 KiB (17). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 3 images below the first screen load straight away

    3 images further down the page (91 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.81 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.81 g of CO₂e: 97.1 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

5 to fixGoogle 8692
  • 14 text elements with low contrast

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

  • <html> element must have a lang attribute (1 element)

    <html> element must have a lang attribute: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)

    Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 4 links without text

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

  • No page language

    The <html> element has no lang attribute, so screen readers may read the page in the wrong voice and accent.

  • 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 15 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 38 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 43 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 38 passed and 5 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

5 to fixGoogle 10072
  • No H1 headline

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

  • Title is short (17 characters)

    Your title is only 17 characters: “Mailbox Store USA”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • No structured data

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

  • Meta description is short (58 characters)

    Your meta description is only 58 characters: “Premium Cast Aluminum Mailbox Systems Shipped To Your Door”. 70 to 160 characters is enough to sell the click.

  • No favicon declared

    No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.

  • 39 internal links, 15 external

    The homepage links to 39 pages on mailboxstoreusa.com and 15 external pages.

4 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://mailboxstoreusa.com/.

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

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 1 page without a meta description

    https://mailboxstoreusa.com/collections/mailbox-systems has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 12 pages without an H1

    https://mailboxstoreusa.com/collections/mailbox-systems, https://mailboxstoreusa.com/collections/parts, https://mailboxstoreusa.com/pages/cluster-mailbox-units-cbus, https://mailboxstoreusa.com/pages/street-signs, https://mailboxstoreusa.com/pages/community-reader-boards-crbs and https://mailboxstoreusa.com/pages/secure-package-delivery and 6 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 4 pages with very little text

    https://mailboxstoreusa.com/pages/street-signs, https://mailboxstoreusa.com/pages/community-pricing, https://mailboxstoreusa.com/pages/parts and https://mailboxstoreusa.com/pages/resource-library 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.

  • 12 internal pages checked

    We fetched 12 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 12 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 12 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9687
  • 5 small tap targets

    5 of 16 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 “Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://advanced-sw-core.herokuapp.com/wizard/?aswm_worker=true&aswm_tsid=null' from origi…”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix75
  • 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 trust badge. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • Only about 126 words

    The homepage has only about 126 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

5 checks passed
  • 5 calls to action

    The homepage has 5 calls to action, for example “Contact Us” and “Get a Quote”.

  • 2 short forms

    2 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 2 phone links and 2 email links.

  • Risk reducer mentioned

    A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 5 trackers load before any consent

    5

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

  • 14 cookies set on arrival

    14

    Opening the homepage sets 14 cookies, 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.

  • 31 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 31 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 mailboxstoreusa.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
