ring.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
8.4 s · 1.5 MB37 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.5 MB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
4.4 s · 784 KiBAbout 784 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.4 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
2.6 s19 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.6 s.
Improve image delivery
1.3 s · 573 KiB13 images could be 573 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.3 s faster on a phone.
3,034 HTML elements
The page has 3,034 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
3 third-party services on the page
3 third-party services load with your homepage (cloudfront.net, YouTube and ctfassets.net), adding 23.3 MB and 684 ms of main-thread time.
ctfassets.net adds 0 ms
0 msctfassets.net costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 22.5 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.
Mobile performance score: 57
57/100Your mobile performance score is 57 (desktop: 88). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
cloudfront.net adds 676 ms
676 mscloudfront.net costs a phone 676 ms of main-thread work and 865 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.
Main-thread work: 2.4 s
A phone's processor spends 2.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 48 KiBAbout 48 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.
13 long tasks on the main thread
13 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 188 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 10 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 10 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 88 but mobile only 57. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.
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.

Speed Index: 7.4 s
7.4 sVisually, the page fills in at 7.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 24.1 MB in 107 requests
24.1 MBYour homepage downloads 24.1 MB in 107 requests on a phone: media 19.5 MB (3), images 3.1 MB (63) and scripts 1.2 MB (15). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 6.8 g of CO₂ per visit
6.82 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 6.82 g of CO₂e: 818.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
Documents must have <title> element to aid in navigation (1 element)
Documents must have <title> element to aid in navigation: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
<html> element must have a lang attribute (1 element)
<html> element must have a lang attribute: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious 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.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
5 tap targets too small
5 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
No page language
The <html> element has no lang attribute, so screen readers may read the page in the wrong voice and accent.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (3 elements).
1 checks passed
3 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 8 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 3 passed and 5 failed. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No page title
Your page has no <title>, so Google has to invent the blue link in search results.
No meta description
No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.
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 social preview image
No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
No XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at https://ring.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
No robots.txt
There is no robots.txt at ring.com/robots.txt, the first file search crawlers ask for.
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.
No favicon declared
No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.
4 links with vague text
4 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 incomplete here.
Best practices
No mobile viewport
No viewport meta tag, so phones render the desktop layout zoomed out.
1 JavaScript error while loading
1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 406 (Not Acceptable)”.
14 distorted images
14 images are displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so they look stretched or squashed.
No HTML doctype
The page has no <!DOCTYPE html>, so browsers render it in quirks mode.
No character set
No character set is declared, so some characters can render as gibberish.
Missing source maps
Large scripts ship without source maps.
Security and trust
No Content-Security-Policy
No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
HTTP/1.1 only
The server only offers HTTP/1.1, so browsers open several connections and load files more slowly. Most hosts and CDNs turn on HTTP/2 with a setting.
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.
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 (ring.com).
Valid certificate (87 days left)
The certificate from Amazon · Amazon RSA 2048 M01 verifies for ring.com and is valid for another 87 days.
Protected from clickjacking
X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.
HSTS enabled
Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.
http:// redirects to https
http://ring.com redirects to the secure version.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
ring.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
ring.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
Domain is 31 years old
31 yearsring.com was registered in Mar 1995 through MarkMonitor Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Mar 2027
ring.com is registered until Mar 2027.
Content and conversion
Homepage answers HTTP 406
Your homepage answered with HTTP 406, so visitors and search engines may see an error page.
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 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.
Only about 2 words
The homepage has only about 2 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
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.
Email authentication
Email authentication score: 90/100
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.
3 checks passed
DMARC policy: quarantine
DMARC tells receivers to quarantine mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.
SPF with a strict ending (-all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 include:amazon.com -all”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “google”, “selector1” and “smtp”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
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.
1 checks passed
No known trackers before consent
No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).
