Speed

8 to fix20
  • Improve image delivery

    7.3 s · 3.4 MB

    17 images could be 3.4 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 7.3 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    2.0 s

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

  • Google CDN adds 1.2 s

    1.2 s

    Google CDN costs a phone 1.2 s of main-thread work and 1.1 MB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

  • Mobile performance score: 20

    20/100

    Your mobile performance score is 20 (desktop: 30). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 5.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 5.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 6 third-party services on the page

    6 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Google Tag Manager and Other Google APIs/SDKs and others), adding 1.5 MB and 1.7 s of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    300 ms · 935 KiB

    About 935 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 258 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Minify JavaScript

    150 ms · 201 KiB

    201 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 33 KiB

    About 33 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.

  • Font display

    100 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    16 KiB

    3 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (16 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: 3 ms

    3 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 3 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

10 to fix100
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 15.1 s

    15.1 s

    Your largest element takes 15.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “New Arrivals”.

  • Time to Interactive: 28.3 s

    28.3 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 28.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 13.7 s

    13.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 13.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.86

    0.86

    The layout shifts by 0.86 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • Total Blocking Time: 762 ms

    762 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 762 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user FCP: 2.1 s

    2.1 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.1 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.8 s

    1.8 s

    Real visitors wait 1.8 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • 29 images without width and height

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

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.3 s

    2.3 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +6%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 63 ms to 65 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -5%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.8 s to 2.4 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

3 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 2.3 s

    2.3 s

    Real visitors wait 2.3 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 70 ms

    70 ms

    Real visitors wait 70 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.01

    0.01

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.01 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

Images and page weight

3 to fix40
  • Page weight: 6.6 MB in 248 requests

    6.6 MB

    Your homepage downloads 6.6 MB in 248 requests on a phone: images 3.7 MB (33), scripts 1.8 MB (180) and other files 706 KiB (14). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 11 images far larger than shown

    1.3 MB

    11 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example catering_300x1500px.jpg at 1,500 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 1.3 MB.

  • 13 images in older formats

    13 images (3.6 MB) 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.

  • 1 image below the first screen load straight away

    1 image further down the page (20 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 1.9 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.88 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.88 g of CO₂e: 225.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

5 to fixGoogle 8492
  • Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children (1 element)

    Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • 14 text elements with low contrast

    14 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • 12 images without alt text

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

  • 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.

  • 1 link without text

    1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 48 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 54 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 48 passed and 6 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

6 to fixGoogle 8368
  • No meta description

    No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • Title is short (9 characters)

    Your title is only 9 characters: “Home page”. 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.

  • 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://thundergroup.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

  • 128 internal links, 6 external

    The homepage links to 128 pages on thundergroup.com and 6 external pages.

2 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Featured Products”.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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 /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.

2 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.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (399 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 15 pages without a meta description

    /about-us, /all-products.html, /all-products/asian-cookware.html, /all-products/asian-tableware.html, /all-products/asian-tableware/pho-bowl.html and /all-products/bakeware-and-supplies.html and 9 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 4 pages slow to respond

    /about-us, /all-products/asian-tableware/pho-bowl.html, /all-products/bar-supplies/others.html and /all-products/catering-and-buffetware.html took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 95 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

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

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • 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 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

Google 92100
  • 2 low-resolution images

    2 images are served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.

3 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    95 of 96 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

2 to fix88
  • No HSTS header

    No Strict-Transport-Security header, so browsers may still try plain http first on a return visit.

  • No Content-Security-Policy

    No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • 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.

  • Deprecated X-XSS-Protection

    X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.

  • No security.txt

    There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

6 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (thundergroup.com).

  • Valid certificate (145 days left)

    The certificate from GoDaddy.com, Inc. · Go Daddy Secure Certificate Authority - G2 verifies for thundergroup.com and is valid for another 145 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

    X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://thundergroup.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2

    The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.

  • All 46 links work

    All 46 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 6 external) answered without errors; 9 did not answer within 5 s.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    thundergroup.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

    thundergroup.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 22 years old

    22 years

    thundergroup.com was registered in Jul 2004 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Jul 2033

    thundergroup.com is registered until Jul 2033.

Content and conversion

3 to fix69
  • 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 social proof

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

  • 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 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 394 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 394 words of visible text.

5 checks passed
  • 4 calls to action

    The homepage has 4 calls to action, for example “Order Status”, “Contact Us” and “Subscribe”.

  • 2 short forms

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

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 0 email links.

  • Phone number on the homepage

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

Email authentication

1 to fix70
  • DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be thundergroup.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.protection.outlook.com include:secureserver.net ~all”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 2 trackers load before any consent

    2

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

  • 9 cookies set on arrival

    9

    Opening the homepage sets 9 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.

  • 3 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 3 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
