Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.3 s · 19.2 MB74 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (19.2 MB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
7.0 s · 1.3 MBAbout 1.3 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 7.0 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
2.4 s4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.4 s.
Reduce unused CSS
1.1 s · 235 KiBAbout 235 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 10.4 s
A phone's processor spends 10.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.9 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Mobile performance score: 26
26/100Your mobile performance score is 26 (desktop: 27). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
3,655 HTML elements
The page has 3,655 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 (Google CDN, Facebook and Adobe Tag Manager and others), adding 2.0 MB and 2.1 s of main-thread time.
Google CDN adds 571 ms
571 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 571 ms of main-thread work and 733 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.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 481 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Facebook adds 391 ms
391 msFacebook costs a phone 391 ms of main-thread work and 279 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.
Adobe Tag Manager adds 291 ms
291 msAdobe Tag Manager costs a phone 291 ms of main-thread work and 248 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.
shiftdigitalapps.io adds 287 ms
287 msshiftdigitalapps.io costs a phone 287 ms of main-thread work and 260 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
139 KiB4 images could be 139 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Duplicated JavaScript
43 KiB43 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.
Legacy JavaScript
41 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 41 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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
2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Largest Contentful Paint: 28.8 s
28.8 sYour largest element takes 28.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “By proceeding you agree to our Terms and Conditions and our…”.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 62.7 MB in 207 requests
62.7 MBYour homepage downloads 62.7 MB in 207 requests on a phone: media 56.2 MB (27), scripts 3.1 MB (57) and images 2.4 MB (74). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
25 images in older formats
25 images (2.2 MB) are JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.
16 images below the first screen load straight away
16 images further down the page (633 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 17.8 g of CO₂ per visit
17.76 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 17.76 g of CO₂e: 2131.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
1 button without a name
1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
3 text elements with low contrast
3 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
33 images without alt text
33 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 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.
21 links without text
21 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
3 form fields without a label
3 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings should not be empty (7 elements)
Headings should not be empty: 7 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3, h2 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
47 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 55 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 8 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
3 H1 headlines
There are 3 <h1> headlines (“THE FEELING OF SAFETY”, “THE FEELING OF SAFETY” and “HONORING GREAT COACHES”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
6 links with vague text
6 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
2 links crawlers can't follow
2 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.
274 internal links, 30 external
The homepage links to 274 pages on mazdausa.com and 30 external pages.
6 checks passed
Meta description: 155 characters
Your meta description is 155 characters: “The official Mazda site to research and shop for all Mazda vehicles. Explore our models, features, photos, specs, build…”.
Title: 61 characters
Your title is a healthy 61 characters: “Mazda USA Official Site | Cars, SUVs & Crossovers | Mazda USA”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.mazdausa.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://www.mazdausa.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
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.
No llms.txt
There is no https://www.mazdausa.com/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.
Opted out of AI training for 1 crawler
robots.txt blocks CCBot, 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.
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.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (4,987 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
2 pages without an H1
https://www.mazdausa.com/shopping-tools/build-and-price and https://www.mazdausa.com/shopping-tools/special-offers-and-incentives have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
1 page slow to respond
https://www.mazdausa.com/the-mazda-difference/safety took over 3 s to send its HTML from our server.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 51 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

Best practices
1 broken image
1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://www.mazdausa.com/.
7 third-party cookies
7 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.
5 small tap targets
5 of 15 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
Deprecated browser APIs
The page uses 3 deprecated browser APIs that will stop working in future browsers (“`StorageType.persistent` is deprecated. Please use standardized `navigator.storage` instead.”).
2 JavaScript errors while loading
2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.
Browser-reported issues

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.
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 949 words of copy
The homepage carries about 949 words of visible text.
3 checks passed
34 calls to action
The homepage has 34 calls to action, for example “LEARN MORE”, “Request A Quote” and “Schedule A Test Drive”.
2 short forms
2 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.
Social proof on the page
Social proof on the homepage: 10 testimonial or review blocks and 2 customer or partner logos.
Privacy and tracking
5 trackers load before any consent
5Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel and TikTok Pixel (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (OneTrust) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.
20 cookies set on arrival
20Opening the homepage sets 20 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
30 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 30 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
1 checks passed
Consent tool: OneTrust
A consent management tool (OneTrust) loads with the page.
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 mazdausa.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
