Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
3.1 s · 749 KiBAbout 749 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.1 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 58
58/100Your mobile performance score is 58. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
600 ms · 149 KiB5 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (149 KiB).
Improve image delivery
300 ms · 415 KiB2 images could be 415 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
7 third-party services on the page
7 third-party services load with your homepage (YouTube, superfiliate-cdn.com and customily.com and others), adding 1.3 MB and 504 ms of main-thread time.
YouTube adds 376 ms
376 msYouTube costs a phone 376 ms of main-thread work and 1,007 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.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 133 KiBAbout 133 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 3.2 s
A phone's processor spends 3.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 9 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 9 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
4 long tasks on the main thread
4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 113 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
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.

Server response: 8 ms
8 msYour server sent the HTML in 8 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 11.7 s
11.7 sYour largest element takes 11.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Time to Interactive: 14.3 s
14.3 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 14.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 6.4 s
6.4 sVisually, the page fills in at 6.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.224
0.224The layout shifts by 0.224 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
4 images without width and height
4 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
First Contentful Paint: 0.9 s
0.9 sThe first text or image appears after 0.9 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Total Blocking Time: 57 ms
57 msScripts block the page for only 57 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.3 MB in 255 requests
3.3 MBYour homepage downloads 3.3 MB in 255 requests on a phone: scripts 1.3 MB (38), other files 1.0 MB (197) and images 781 KiB (11). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image in older formats
1 image (168 KiB) is 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 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit
0.94 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.94 g of CO₂e: 113.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed

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
1 text element with low contrast
1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)
Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
2 images without alt text
2 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (8 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 8 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Document should not have more than one banner landmark (1 element)
Document should not have more than one banner landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

34 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 39 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 34 passed and 5 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
No favicon declared

AI search readiness

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

Domain and trust
4 checks passed
Domain is 5 years old
5 yearsrep.fan was registered in Aug 2021 through Squarespace Domains II LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Certificate issuers are restricted
CAA records allow only globalsign.com, letsencrypt.org, pki.goog and ssl.com to issue certificates for rep.fan, so a mis-issued certificate from anyone else is refused.
DNSSEC is on
rep.fan's DNS answers are signed (DNSSEC), so they can't be forged on the way to visitors.
Registered until Aug 2027
rep.fan is registered until Aug 2027.
Content and conversion
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 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 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 305 words of copy
The homepage carries about 305 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: “Learn More”.
1 call to action
The homepage has 1 call to action, for example “Learn More”.
2 short forms

Email authentication
No DMARC policy
rep.fan has no DMARC record, so nothing tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF or DKIM. Gmail and Yahoo require DMARC from bulk senders.
No SPF record
rep.fan has no SPF record, so mail servers can't tell which servers may send email as you. Your mail lands in spam more often, and anyone can send mail pretending to be you.
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
rep.fan 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: 0/100
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.
