Speed

7 to fix70
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.4 s · 411 KiB

    About 411 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.4 s faster on a phone.

  • 6 third-party services on the page

    6 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, tidio.co and breadpayments.com and others), adding 10.3 MB and 224 ms of main-thread time.

  • Shopify adds 114 ms

    114 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 114 ms of main-thread work and 9.6 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: 70

    70/100

    Your mobile performance score is 70. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Improve image delivery

    300 ms · 230 KiB

    4 images could be 230 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.

  • 1,736 HTML elements

    The page has 1,736 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • tidio.co adds 72 ms

    72 ms

    tidio.co costs a phone 72 ms of main-thread work and 515 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.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    150 ms · 42 KiB

    5 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (42 KiB).

  • 2 long tasks on the main thread

    2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 96 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Minify JavaScript

    50 ms · 39 KiB

    39 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    50 ms · 21 KiB

    About 21 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 50 ms faster on a phone.

  • 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.

  • Minify CSS

    4 KiB

    4 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    3 KiB

    3 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.6 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 417 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 fix100

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 11.7 MB in 187 requests

    11.7 MB

    Your homepage downloads 11.7 MB in 187 requests on a phone: media 9.3 MB (4), scripts 1,017 KiB (61) and other files 688 KiB (87). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 3.3 g of CO₂ per visit

    3.30 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.30 g of CO₂e: 396.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images load when needed

    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

2 to fixGoogle 9296
  • 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.

  • 20 images without alt text

    20 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).

1 checks passed
  • 50 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 2 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 9288
  • Title is long (66 characters)

    Your title is 66 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Starlight Ceiling — Star Ceiling Lights, Fiber Optic Panels & Kits”.

  • Meta description is long (215 characters)

    Your meta description is 215 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 53 internal links, 5 external

    The homepage links to 53 pages on starlightceiling.com and 5 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Pre-Built Fiber Optic Starlight Ceiling Panels”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.starlightceiling.com/en-us.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization and WebSite.

  • 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 and points crawlers to your sitemap.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.starlightceiling.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
4 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.

  • Organization data: 4 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,489 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://www.starlightceiling.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

4 to fix81
  • 4 pages share 2 titles

    https://www.starlightceiling.com/en-us/pages/contact and https://www.starlightceiling.com/pages/contact all use the title “Contact Starlight Ceiling — Tell Us About the Room”, and 1 other title repeat too. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 2 pages without a meta description

    https://www.starlightceiling.com/pages/installation-guide and https://www.starlightceiling.com/en-us/pages/free-design have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 4 pages share a meta description

    https://www.starlightceiling.com/en-us/pages/contact and https://www.starlightceiling.com/pages/contact use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 3 links to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 3 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example https://www.starlightceiling.com/pages/installation-guide, whose canonical is https://www.starlightceiling.com/en-us/pages/installation-guide. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 26 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

4 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    14 pages of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 14 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    10 of 10 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix83
  • 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.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 2 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • No analytics detected

    No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

  • 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.

  • About 1,133 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,133 words of visible text.

6 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Call Starlight Ceiling at 1-800-770-0925” and “Shop Starlight Panels”.

  • 10 calls to action

    The homepage has 10 calls to action, for example “Shop Panels”, “Contact Us” and “Shop Starlight Panels”.

  • 6 short forms

    6 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 2 phone links and 1 email link.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.

  • Risk reducer mentioned

    A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 4 trackers load before any consent

    4

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Meta Pixel (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.

  • 12 cookies set on arrival

    12

    Opening the homepage sets 12 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.

  • 19 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 19 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Security, domain, email and software versions

The security, domain and email checks, software and plugin versions, and any app with a known security problem are visible only to people at starlightceiling.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
