Speed

5 to fix64
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    114.2 s · 73.2 MB

    32 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (73.2 MB).

  • Improve image delivery

    8.1 s · 36.1 MB

    9 images could be 36.1 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 8.1 s faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.4 s · 328 KiB

    About 328 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.

  • Mobile performance score: 64

    64/100

    Your mobile performance score is 64 (desktop: 66). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Render-blocking requests

    950 ms

    4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 950 ms.

  • 5 third-party services on the page

    5 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Cookiebot and Google Maps and others), adding 564 KiB and 275 ms of main-thread time.

  • 3 long tasks on the main thread

    3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 123 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    14 KiB

    About 14 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.8 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 596 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 2 ms

    2 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 2 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

8 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: 111.6 s

    111.6 s

    Your largest element takes 111.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 111.6 s

    111.6 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 111.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 6.3 s

    6.3 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 6.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 3.1 s

    3.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 3.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Tap response (INP) got 34% slower for real visitors

    +34%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 61 ms to 81 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.3 s

    1.3 s

    Real visitors wait 1.3 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • 3 images without width and height

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

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    +3%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, 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).

6 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 2.4 s

    2.4 s

    Real visitors wait 2.4 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 158 ms

    158 ms

    Real visitors wait 158 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: 1.8 s

    1.8 s

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

  • Total Blocking Time: 81 ms

    81 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 81 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.009

    0.009

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.009, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

5 to fix18
  • Page weight: 73.8 MB in 45 requests

    73.8 MB

    Your homepage downloads 73.8 MB in 45 requests on a phone: images 73.1 MB (28), scripts 571 KiB (7) and fonts 37 KiB (2). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 20 images over 500 KB

    20 images weigh 47.4 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 2 images far larger than shown

    1.8 MB

    2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example 60541c2039e72d57edd03f1dd1cae7f9221c8974-2.jpg at 3,395 px wide, shown at 370 px. Resized copies would save about 1.8 MB.

  • 21 images in older formats

    21 images (47.6 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 (1.9 MB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 20.9 g of CO₂ per visit

    20.91 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 20.91 g of CO₂e: 2508.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

8 to fixGoogle 7888
  • 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.

  • 1 button without a name

    1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • Hidden but focusable

    4 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.

  • 3 text elements with low contrast

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

  • ARIA progressbar nodes must have an accessible name (1 element)

    ARIA progressbar nodes must have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 3 links without text

    3 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (1 element)

    ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 44 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 44 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: 44 passed and 8 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 9285
  • 2 H1 headlines

    There are 2 <h1> headlines (“Advanced combat training for real-world threats” and “Advanced combat training for real-world threats”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • Structured data has 2 problems

    Structured data found (BreadcrumbList, LocalBusiness, Organization and WebPage) but with 2 problems, for example “LocalBusiness: missing name”.

  • No robots.txt

    There is no robots.txt at topaces.com/robots.txt, the first file search crawlers ask for.

  • 11 links with vague text

    11 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

  • 38 internal links, 7 external

    The homepage links to 38 pages on topaces.com and 7 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Meta description: 143 characters

    Your meta description is 143 characters: “Top Aces delivers advanced adversary air and JTAC training to the world's leading air forces with the largest privately…”.

  • Title: 61 characters

    Your title is a healthy 61 characters: “Top Aces | Top Aces | Advanced Adversary Air (ADAIR) Training”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://topaces.com/.

  • Open Graph tags complete

    Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.

  • XML sitemap found

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

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (1 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing name, url, logo, description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://topaces.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.

2 checks passed
  • AI answer engines may read the site

    There is no robots.txt, so nothing stops the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity from reading the site and cite it in answers.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (667 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix93
  • 10 pages share a meta description

    https://topaces.com/who-we-are, https://topaces.com/what-we-do, https://topaces.com/our-fleet/lockheed-martin-f-16a, https://topaces.com/our-fleet/douglas-a-4-skyhawk, https://topaces.com/our-fleet/dornier-alpha-jet and https://topaces.com/our-fleet/turbopropulseur-flotte-mixte and 4 others use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 5 pages without an H1

    https://topaces.com/our-fleet/lockheed-martin-f-16a, https://topaces.com/our-fleet/douglas-a-4-skyhawk, https://topaces.com/our-fleet/dornier-alpha-jet, https://topaces.com/our-fleet/turbopropulseur-flotte-mixte and https://topaces.com/our-fleet/bombardier-learjet-35a have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 2 pages with very little text

    https://topaces.com/contact-us and https://topaces.com/our-fleet/turbopropulseur-flotte-mixte have under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

  • 5 pages slow to respond

    https://topaces.com/contact-us, https://topaces.com/fr, https://topaces.com/our-fleet/lockheed-martin-f-16a, https://topaces.com/our-fleet/douglas-a-4-skyhawk and https://topaces.com/our-fleet/turbopropulseur-flotte-mixte took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 17 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.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 15 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • 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 100100
3 checks passed
  • No console errors

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

  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    26 of 27 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix71
  • 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 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.

  • 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 form on the homepage

    There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

  • 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 584 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 584 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Contact us” and “Learn more”.

  • 14 calls to action

    The homepage has 14 calls to action, for example “Contact us”, “Learn more” and “Close air support training Learn more”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

  • LocalBusiness structured data

    Your homepage describes the business with LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants can read its address, hours and phone reliably.

Privacy and tracking

  • 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). A consent tool (Cookiebot) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 7 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 7 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: Cookiebot

    A consent management tool (Cookiebot) loads with the page.

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