Speed

4 to fix87
  • Mobile performance score: 87

    87/100

    Your mobile performance score is 87 (desktop: 100). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Improve image delivery

    600 ms · 224 KiB

    7 images could be 224 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    300 ms · 202 KiB

    About 202 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    450 ms

    1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 450 ms.

  • 4 third-party services on the page

    4 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, openai.com and Google Fonts and others), adding 346 KiB and 182 ms of main-thread time.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    150 ms · 20 KiB

    1 file is served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (20 KiB).

  • 5 long tasks on the main thread

    5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 123 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    19 KiB

    About 19 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.1 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 412 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 2 ms

    2 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 2 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

2 to fix84
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 3.9 s

    3.9 s

    Your largest element takes 3.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Business & commercial security camera systems, reimagined f…”.

  • Time to Interactive: 6.5 s

    6.5 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 6.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • 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.

4 checks passed
  • First Contentful Paint: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.7 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Total Blocking Time: 79 ms

    79 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 79 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

  • Speed Index: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 1.7 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.

Images and page weight

1 to fix90
  • 1 image far larger than shown

    83 KiB

    1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example autumn-maple-branch.webp at 1,024 px wide, shown at 240 px. Resized copies would save about 83 KiB.

  • About 0.3 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.30 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.30 g of CO₂e: 36.6 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: 1.1 MB in 44 requests

    1.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.1 MB in 44 requests on a phone: scripts 501 KiB (16), images 345 KiB (16) and fonts 209 KiB (5). That is a lean page.

  • 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.

Accessibility

Google 100100
2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 19 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 37 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 37 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 37 passed and 0 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 10095
  • Meta description is long (166 characters)

    Your meta description is 166 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 30 internal links, 1 external

    The homepage links to 30 pages on monarchconnected.com and 1 external page.

7 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Business & commercial security camera systems, reimagined for the cloud.”.

  • Title: 58 characters

    Your title is a healthy 58 characters: “Business & Commercial Security Cameras | Monarch Connected”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization and WebSite.

  • Open Graph tags complete

  • 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://monarchconnected.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix83
  • Parts of the site are closed to 4 AI crawlers

    Your robots.txt lets ChatGPT search (OAI-SearchBot), ChatGPT (ChatGPT-User), Perplexity (PerplexityBot) and Perplexity (Perplexity-User) read the homepage but closes other sections to them, so answers about those pages can't cite you.

3 checks passed
  • Organization data: 6 of 6 facts

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

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (511 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://monarchconnected.com/llms.txt (3 KiB, 19 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

1 to fix93
  • 3 linked pages hidden from search

    https://monarchconnected.com/terms-conditions, https://monarchconnected.com/return-policy and https://monarchconnected.com/privacy-policy are marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If they are meant to be found, remove the noindex.

  • 1 page with very little text

    https://monarchconnected.com/contact has 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.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

Best practices

Google 96100
  • 1 low-resolution image

    1 image is served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.

3 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    7 of 7 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix88
  • 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.

  • No analytics detected

    No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

  • No opening hours

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

  • 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.

  • About 503 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 503 words of visible text.

6 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Book a Demo”.

  • 9 calls to action

    The homepage has 9 calls to action, for example “Shop”, “Get Pricing” and “Book a Demo”.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 5 customer or partner logos and 2 trust badges.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 2 phone links and 1 email link.

  • Phone number on the homepage

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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 2 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 2 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • No known trackers before consent

    No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).

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 monarchconnected.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
