Speed

13 to fix35
  • Improve image delivery

    7.8 s · 4.7 MB

    11 images could be 4.7 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 7.8 s faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    8.4 s · 2.4 MB

    About 2.4 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 8.4 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    2.3 s

    5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.3 s.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    1.2 s · 378 KiB

    About 378 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.2 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 35

    35/100

    Your mobile performance score is 35. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 4.8 s

    A phone's processor spends 4.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    650 ms · 820 KiB

    16 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (820 KiB).

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Maps, Google Tag Manager and processonepayments.com and others), adding 1.9 MB and 614 ms of main-thread time.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 543 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Document request latency

    273 KiB

    The HTML itself could arrive sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.

  • Google Maps adds 203 ms

    203 ms

    Google Maps costs a phone 203 ms of main-thread work and 328 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.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 190 ms

    190 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 190 ms of main-thread work and 450 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.

  • processonepayments.com adds 125 ms

    125 ms

    processonepayments.com costs a phone 125 ms of main-thread work and 989 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.

  • 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: 465 ms

    465 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 465 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

12 to fix33
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

  • Real-user LCP: 4.7 s

    4.7 s

    Real visitors wait 4.7 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.28

    0.28

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.28 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 4.5 s

    4.5 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 4.5 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 46.1 s

    46.1 s

    Your largest element takes 46.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “We like calling North Carolina home. No matter where, we ha…”.

  • Time to Interactive: 53.6 s

    53.6 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 53.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 12.7 s

    12.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 12.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 5.0 s

    5.0 s

    The first text or image appears after 5.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 738 ms

    738 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 738 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) got 25% slower for real visitors

    +25%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 145 ms to 182 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • 17 images without width and height

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

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.104

    0.104

    The layout shifts by 0.104 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 19% slower for real visitors

    +19%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 4.3 s to 5.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

2 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 183 ms

    183 ms

    Real visitors wait 183 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user TTFB: 478 ms

    478 ms

    Real visitors wait 478 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

Images and page weight

4 to fix38
  • Page weight: 11.6 MB in 161 requests

    11.6 MB

    Your homepage downloads 11.6 MB in 161 requests on a phone: images 5.4 MB (31), scripts 5.1 MB (98) and HTML 415 KiB (2). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 3 images over 500 KB

    3 images weigh 1.7 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 8 images in older formats

    8 images (2.1 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.

  • 7 images below the first screen load straight away

    7 images further down the page (2.0 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 3.3 g of CO₂ per visit

    3.29 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.29 g of CO₂e: 395.3 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

2 to fixGoogle 8094
  • 7 images without alt text

    7 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • 1 button without a name

    1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h3 and h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 33 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 35 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 33 passed and 2 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 8577
  • Title is long (76 characters)

    Your title is 76 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Quotes for Auto, Home & Life Insurance - Your local NC Farm Bureau Insurance”.

  • 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 (“We like calling North Carolina home.” and “We like calling North Carolina home.”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • Meta description is long (186 characters)

    Your meta description is 186 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 2 links with vague text

    2 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.

  • 31 internal links, 8 external

    The homepage links to 31 pages on ncfbins.com and 8 external pages.

4 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

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

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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://ncfbins.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.

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 (483 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

3 to fix83
  • 13 pages share a title

    https://ncfbins.com/insurance, https://ncfbins.com/payments, https://ncfbins.com/claims, https://ncfbins.com/find-agent, https://ncfbins.com/member-benefits and https://ncfbins.com/support and 7 others all use the title “North Carolina Farm Bureau Insurance Group”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 14 pages without a meta description

    https://ncfbins.com/insurance, https://ncfbins.com/payments, https://ncfbins.com/claims, https://ncfbins.com/find-agent, https://ncfbins.com/member-benefits and https://ncfbins.com/support and 8 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 3 pages without an H1

    https://ncfbins.com/our-locations, https://ncfbins.com/privacy-policy and https://ncfbins.com/terms-and-conditions-of-use have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 5 pages slow to respond

    https://ncfbins.com/support, https://ncfbins.com/buying-a-new-car, https://ncfbins.com/protect-yourself-from-insurance-scams, https://ncfbins.com/about-us and https://ncfbins.com/our-locations took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

  • 14 internal pages checked

    We fetched 14 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

4 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 14 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

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

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 14 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 7797
  • 1 third-party cookie

    1 third-party cookie is set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

3 checks passed
  • No console errors

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

  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    9 of 9 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix80
  • 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 form on the homepage

    There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

  • 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 348 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 348 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Get a Quote”.

  • 8 calls to action

    The homepage has 8 calls to action, for example “Support Contact & Help”, “Get a Quote” and “Learn More”.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 3 testimonial or review blocks and 6 customer or partner logos.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 2 trackers load before any consent

    2

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

  • 7 cookies set on arrival

    7

    Opening the homepage sets 7 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.

  • 11 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 11 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 ncfbins.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
