mycontractorexam.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.9 s · 534 KiBAbout 534 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.9 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.4 s · 299 KiB27 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (299 KiB).
Legacy JavaScript
950 ms · 65 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 65 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 950 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 65
65/100Your mobile performance score is 65. 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 (Shopify, Google Tag Manager and Trust Pilot and others), adding 1.3 MB and 554 ms of main-thread time.
Shopify adds 266 ms
266 msShopify costs a phone 266 ms of main-thread work and 592 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.
Render-blocking requests
200 ms8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 200 ms.
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 28 KiB2 images could be 28 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Duplicated JavaScript
100 ms · 8 KiB8 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles. Google estimates it would make the page about 100 ms faster on a phone.
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 93 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
30 ms · 32 KiBAbout 32 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 30 ms faster on a phone.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
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.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 2.0 s

Server response: 6 ms
6 msYour server sent the HTML in 6 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.4 MB in 202 requests
2.4 MBYour homepage downloads 2.4 MB in 202 requests on a phone: scripts 1.3 MB (65), other files 842 KiB (109) and images 153 KiB (7). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit
0.69 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.69 g of CO₂e: 83.2 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
Links look like plain text
1 link inside paragraphs relies on colour alone to stand out.
1 image without alt text
1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (2 elements)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
1 checks passed
48 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 50 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 48 passed and 2 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Structured data has 1 problem
Structured data found (Organization) but with 1 problem, for example “Organization: logo is not an absolute URL ("//mycontractorexam.com/cdn/shop/files/CEI_Logo.png?v=17…”.
Open Graph partly set
Open Graph is missing og:title and og:description, so shared links fall back to guesses.

Organization data: 5 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles) and contact details; description would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (759 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages

Security and trust

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.

7 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (mycontractorexam.com).
Valid certificate (65 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE2 verifies for mycontractorexam.com and is valid for another 65 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://mycontractorexam.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; 2 did not answer within 5 s.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
mycontractorexam.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
mycontractorexam.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

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 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.
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.
About 689 words of copy
The homepage carries about 689 words of visible text.
5 checks passed
5 calls to action
The homepage has 5 calls to action, for example “Contact Us”, “Start-Up Consultation” and “Talk to a Career Counselor”.
3 short forms
3 short forms (2 fields at most) are right on the homepage.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Analytics and HubSpot.
Direct contact links
Visitors can reach you directly: 3 phone links and 0 email links.
Phone number on the homepage
Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.
Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be mycontractorexam.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.
Domain receives no email
mycontractorexam.com has no MX record, so it receives no email. SPF -all and DMARC reject still matter: they stop others sending mail as you.
Email authentication score: 60/100
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 in place (~all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:secureserver.net include:341631.spf07.hubspotemail.net ~all”.
Privacy and tracking
