Speed

4 to fix79
  • Improve image delivery

    11.2 MB

    5 images could be 11.2 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    300 ms · 919 KiB

    About 919 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.

  • Mobile performance score: 79

    79/100

    Your mobile performance score is 79. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • 4 long tasks on the main thread

    4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 268 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Render-blocking requests

    150 ms

    1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 150 ms.

  • 2 third-party services on the page

    2 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics), adding 179 KiB and 116 ms of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    23 KiB

    About 23 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 457 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 7 ms

    7 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 7 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix83
  • Time to Interactive: 8.5 s

    8.5 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 8.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 6.4 s

    6.4 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 6.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 435 ms

    435 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 435 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 2.7 s

    2.7 s

    Your largest element takes 2.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Sunrise over the river, blurred by motion”. Most of its time is resource load delay (2.6 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.

2 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.002

    0.002

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.002, good is under 0.1).

  • First Contentful Paint: 0.9 s

    0.9 s

    The first text or image appears after 0.9 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

Images and page weight

4 to fix25
  • Page weight: 17.1 MB in 21 requests

    17.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 17.1 MB in 21 requests on a phone: images 15.8 MB (13), scripts 1.3 MB (2) and fonts 50 KiB (2). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 4 images over 500 KB

    4 images weigh 10.8 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 2 images far larger than shown

    4.0 MB

    2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example flock-light-after.gif at 1,920 px wide, shown at 342 px. Resized copies would save about 4.0 MB.

  • 4 images in older formats

    4 images (10.8 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.

  • About 4.9 g of CO₂ per visit

    4.86 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 4.86 g of CO₂e: 582.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images load when needed

    Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.

Accessibility

1 to fixGoogle 9698
  • 10 text elements with low contrast

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

1 checks passed
  • 43 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 44 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 43 passed and 1 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 10076
  • No H1 headline

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

  • 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.

  • No XML sitemap

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

  • Only 0 internal links

    The homepage links to only 0 pages on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.

4 checks passed
  • Meta description: 126 characters

    Your meta description is 126 characters: “Bike lights designed to highlight and connect people. Making better cities through cycling, community events, and mappi…”.

  • Title: 36 characters

    Your title is a healthy 36 characters: “Project Flock — Making Better Cities”.

  • 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.

AI search readiness

2 to fix63
  • Most text only appears after JavaScript runs

    0%

    A phone browser shows 273 words, but the HTML your server sends has only 0. GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot read that HTML without running JavaScript, so they see an almost empty page. Server-side rendering or pre-rendering fixes it.

  • 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 /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.

1 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.

Best practices

Google 100100
  • 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

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

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

1 to fix92
  • No Content-Security-Policy

    No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • No clickjacking protection

    Neither X-Frame-Options nor a CSP frame-ancestors policy is set, so any site can embed yours in a frame.

  • No Permissions-Policy

    No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

  • No security.txt

    There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

5 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (projectflock.cc).

  • Valid certificate (72 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for projectflock.cc and is valid for another 72 days.

  • HSTS enabled

    Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://projectflock.cc redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2

    The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    projectflock.cc 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

    projectflock.cc'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
  • Domain is 6 years old

    6 years

    projectflock.cc was registered in May 2020 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until May 2028

    projectflock.cc is registered until May 2028.

Content and conversion

4 to fix30
  • 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 calls to action

    We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.

  • No social proof

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

  • 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 273 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 273 words of visible text.

1 checks passed
  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics.

Email authentication

1 to fix70
  • DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be projectflock.cc is still delivered. Add a report address, check the reports, then move to quarantine.

  • Email authentication score: 70/100

    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.

2 checks passed
  • SPF in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com include:shopify.com ~all”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “google”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, 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.

  • 4 cookies set on arrival

    4

    Opening the homepage sets 4 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.

  • 3 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 3 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Upkeep, stack and company

No signs of neglect in what was checked: the copyright year, CMS and plugin versions, and jQuery.
