Speed

8 to fix66
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.7 s · 754 KiB

    About 754 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.7 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    450 ms · 3.6 MB

    66 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (3.6 MB).

  • Improve image delivery

    1.7 MB

    12 images could be 1.7 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Mobile performance score: 66

    66/100

    Your mobile performance score is 66. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Render-blocking requests

    900 ms

    13 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 900 ms.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Facebook, Google Tag Manager and Vimeo and others), adding 1.9 MB and 375 ms of main-thread time.

  • Font display

    450 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 450 ms).

  • Vimeo adds 61 ms

    61 ms

    Vimeo costs a phone 61 ms of main-thread work and 1.1 MB 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.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 71 KiB

    About 71 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 7 long tasks on the main thread

    7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 113 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    25 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 25 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 957 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 41 ms

    41 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 41 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix78
  • Time to Interactive: 23.7 s

    23.7 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 23.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 4.6 s

    4.6 s

    The first text or image appears after 4.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 8.4 s

    8.4 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 8.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 4.6 s

    4.6 s

    Your largest element takes 4.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Make Preneed Your New Superpower”. Most of its time is element render delay (2.6 s).

  • 82 images without width and height

    82 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.

2 checks passed
  • Total Blocking Time: 107 ms

    107 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 107 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).

Images and page weight

5 to fix18
  • Page weight: 5.1 MB in 112 requests

    5.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 5.1 MB in 112 requests on a phone: images 3.2 MB (47), scripts 1.5 MB (27) and fonts 272 KiB (2). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image over 500 KB

    connection-video-bg.png weighs 910 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 5 images far larger than shown

    1.0 MB

    5 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example connection-video-bg.png at 2,346 px wide, shown at 355 px. Resized copies would save about 1.0 MB.

  • 12 images in older formats

    12 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.

  • 6 images below the first screen load straight away

    6 images further down the page (1.5 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 1.5 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.45 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.45 g of CO₂e: 174.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

9 to fixGoogle 7485
  • 1 button without a name

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

  • 4 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 3 tap targets too small

    3 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • 48 images without alt text

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (15 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 15 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • No main landmark

    The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

  • 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.

  • 61 links without text

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

  • Headings should not be empty (1 element)

    Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h6, h2 → h4 and h4 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 35 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 45 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 35 passed and 10 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

8 to fixGoogle 7566
  • No H1 headline

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

  • Title is short (6 characters)

    Your title is only 6 characters: “Precoa”. 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.

  • No canonical URL

    No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.

  • 25 links with vague text

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

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • No XML sitemap

    No XML sitemap at https://precoa.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

  • 2 links crawlers can't follow

    2 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

  • 60 internal links, 7 external

    The homepage links to 60 pages on precoa.com and 7 external pages.

2 checks passed
  • Meta description: 142 characters

    Your meta description is 142 characters: “Precoa is the national leader in the preneed industry, helping families plan today so loved ones can focus on connectio…”.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place.

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://precoa.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 (964 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

3 to fix86
  • 15 pages share a title

    /, https://precoa.com/proactive-preneed, https://precoa.com/testimonials, https://precoa.com/insights, https://precoa.com/about and https://precoa.com/contact and 9 others all use the title “Precoa”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 14 pages share a meta description

    https://precoa.com/proactive-preneed, https://precoa.com/testimonials, https://precoa.com/insights, https://precoa.com/about, https://precoa.com/contact and https://precoa.com/freemsa and 8 others use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 10 pages without an H1

    https://precoa.com/testimonials, https://precoa.com/contact, https://precoa.com/testimonials/sunset, https://precoa.com/testimonials/sytsema, https://precoa.com/testimonials/krause and https://precoa.com/testimonials/walton and 4 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 2 pages with very little text

    https://precoa.com/contact and https://precoa.com/freemsa 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.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 24 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

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

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 15 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 5494
  • 2 third-party cookies

    2 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • Deprecated browser APIs

    The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).

  • Browser-reported issues

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

3 checks passed
  • No console errors

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

  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    93 of 96 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

1 to fix90
  • 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 1,204 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,204 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “CONTACT” and “GET STARTED”.

  • 15 calls to action

    The homepage has 15 calls to action, for example “Contact”, “Get Started” and “Learn More”.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 147 testimonial or review blocks and 3 customer or partner logos.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics, Meta Pixel and LinkedIn Insight.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 4 trackers load before any consent

    4

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, LinkedIn Insight 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.

  • 10 cookies set on arrival

    10

    Opening the homepage sets 10 cookies, 2 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.

  • 27 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 27 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 precoa.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
