Speed

10 to fix57
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    8.4 s · 1.5 MB

    37 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.5 MB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    4.4 s · 784 KiB

    About 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 s

    19 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 KiB

    13 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 ms

    ctfassets.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

    57/100

    Your mobile performance score is 57 (desktop: 88). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • cloudfront.net adds 676 ms

    676 ms

    cloudfront.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 KiB

    About 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 KiB

    Polyfills 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.

  • Server response: 77 ms

    77 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 77 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 14.4 s

    14.4 s

    Your largest element takes 14.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “All-over protection. All in Retinal 4K.”.

  • First Contentful Paint: 7.3 s

    7.3 s

    The first text or image appears after 7.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 14.6 s

    14.6 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 14.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 7.4 s

    7.4 s

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

  • 10 images without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +5%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 91 ms to 95 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    0%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.9 s to 1.8 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

8 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

  • Real-user LCP: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    Real visitors wait 1.1 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 79 ms

    79 ms

    Real visitors wait 79 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 0.9 s

    0.9 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 0.9 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 530 ms

    530 ms

    Real visitors wait 530 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Total Blocking Time: 82 ms

    82 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 82 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

1 to fix33
  • Page weight: 24.1 MB in 107 requests

    24.1 MB

    Your 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 g

    By 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

7 to fixGoogle 9555
  • 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

11 to fixGoogle 9243
  • 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

5 to fixGoogle 9653
  • 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

1 to fix92
  • 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 years

    ring.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

7 to fix21
  • 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

90
  • 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).
