Speed
Render-blocking requests
300 ms1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 300 ms.
Improve image delivery
82 KiB4 images could be 82 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
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.

Core Web Vitals
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.

Images and page weight
About 0.05 g of CO₂ per visit
0.05 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.05 g of CO₂e: 6.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (smarthop.com).
Valid certificate (67 days left)
The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for smarthop.com and is valid for another 67 days.
Protected from clickjacking
X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.
Content-Security-Policy set
A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
HSTS enabled
Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.
http:// redirects to https
http://smarthop.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2 and HTTP/3
The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.
All 37 links work
All 37 links checked from your homepage (29 internal, 8 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust

smarthop.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

Content and conversion
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
No phone number on the homepage
A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 3 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
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 opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
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 520 words of copy
The homepage carries about 520 words of visible text.
4 checks passed

1 short form
A short form (7 fields at most) is right on the homepage, asking for an email.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: PostHog.
Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be smarthop.com 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:u2069692.wl.sendgrid.net include:45402854.spf03.hubspotemail.net include:_spf.sa…”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “google”), 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
