Speed

9 to fix61
  • Render-blocking requests

    2.0 s

    9 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.0 s.

  • 4 third-party services on the page

    4 third-party services load with your homepage (gethover.com, aliyuncs.com and Baidu Analytics and others), adding 49.8 MB and 677 ms of main-thread time.

  • gethover.com adds 566 ms

    566 ms

    gethover.com costs a phone 566 ms of main-thread work and 49.8 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.

  • Improve image delivery

    150 ms · 5.3 MB

    21 images could be 5.3 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    900 ms · 170 KiB

    About 170 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 61

    61/100

    Your mobile performance score is 61. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Minify JavaScript

    300 ms · 72 KiB

    72 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Font display

    300 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 300 ms).

  • Main-thread work: 2.9 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 855 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 39 KiB

    About 39 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.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 8 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 8 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 77 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Document request latency

    36 KiB

    The HTML itself could arrive sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.

  • Minify CSS

    8 KiB

    8 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    7 KiB

    1 file is served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (7 KiB).

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 15 ms

    15 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 15 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix68
  • Speed Index: 15.5 s

    15.5 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 15.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 7.5 s

    7.5 s

    Your largest element takes 7.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “哈浮飞行相机”.

  • Time to Interactive: 13.4 s

    13.4 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 13.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.9 s

    2.9 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 9 images without width and height

    9 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
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

  • Total Blocking Time: 52 ms

    52 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 52 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

2 to fix60
  • Page weight: 49.9 MB in 148 requests

    49.9 MB

    Your homepage downloads 49.9 MB in 148 requests on a phone: media 41.0 MB (24), images 8.0 MB (62) and fonts 495 KiB (6). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 7 images in older formats

    7 images (929 KiB) are 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 14.1 g of CO₂ per visit

    14.14 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 14.14 g of CO₂e: 1697.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • 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

7 to fixGoogle 8386
  • 4 tap targets too small

    4 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • <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.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (20 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 20 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • No main landmark

    The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

  • Zoom is disabled

    The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

  • 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.

  • No page language

    The <html> element has no lang attribute, so screen readers may read the page in the wrong voice and accent.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 48 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 25 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 31 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 25 passed and 6 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

7 to fixGoogle 9267
  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • Title is short (9 characters)

    Your title is only 9 characters: “哈浮飞行相机 X1”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • Meta description is short (16 characters)

    Your meta description is only 16 characters: “哈浮 HOVER,飞行相机开创者”. 70 to 160 characters is enough to sell the click.

  • No canonical URL

    No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.

  • No favicon declared

    No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.

  • 3 links crawlers can't follow

    3 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

  • 26 internal links, 41 external

    The homepage links to 26 pages on thehover.com and 41 external pages.

3 checks passed
  • 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.

  • XML sitemap found

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

AI search readiness

1 to fix83
  • No Organization structured data

    There is no Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants have no machine-readable facts about who runs the site: its name, logo, profiles and contact details.

  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://thehover.com/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.

1 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.

Other pages

4 to fix79
  • 8 linked pages hidden from search

    https://thehover.com/hoverx1, https://thehover.com/support, https://thehover.com/terms, https://thehover.com/privacy, https://thehover.com/support/warranty and https://thehover.com/release-notes-firmware-version and 2 others are marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If they are meant to be found, remove the noindex.

  • 2 pages share a title

    / and https://thehover.com/hoverx1 all use the title “哈浮飞行相机 X1”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 8 pages share a meta description

    https://thehover.com/hoverx1, https://thehover.com/support, https://thehover.com/terms, https://thehover.com/privacy, https://thehover.com/support/warranty and https://thehover.com/release-notes-firmware-version and 2 others use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 6 pages without an H1

    https://thehover.com/hoverx1, https://thehover.com/support, https://thehover.com/terms, https://thehover.com/privacy, https://thehover.com/support/warranty and https://thehover.com/support/contact-us have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 8 internal pages checked

    We fetched 8 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

4 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 8 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 8 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Every page has a title

    All 8 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 7785
  • 6 small tap targets

    6 of 12 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • Deprecated browser APIs

    The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).

  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

5 to fix42
  • 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.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 3 trust badges. 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.

  • Only about 13 words

    The homepage has only about 13 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.

1 checks passed
  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and Meta Pixel.

Privacy and tracking

  • 5 cookies set on arrival

    5

    Opening the homepage sets 5 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.

  • 4 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 4 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

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).

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 thehover.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
