Speed
Mobile performance score: 80
80/100Your mobile performance score is 80 (desktop: 100). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
500 ms · 57 KiB4 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (57 KiB).
Render-blocking requests
450 ms8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.
Reduce unused JavaScript
340 ms · 70 KiBAbout 70 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 340 ms faster on a phone.
2 third-party services on the page
2 third-party services load with your homepage (Cookiebot and Trust Pilot), adding 210 KiB and 124 ms of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
83 KiB4 images could be 83 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Reduce unused CSS
40 ms · 40 KiBAbout 40 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 40 ms faster on a phone.
2 long tasks on the main thread
2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 58 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
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.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 0.8 s
A phone's processor spends 0.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 281 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 3 ms
3 msYour server sent the HTML in 3 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
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: 4.4 s
4.4 sYour largest element takes 4.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Award-Winning Antivirus & Security Software”. Most of its time is element render delay (2.3 s).
Real-user TTFB: 1.2 s
1.2 sReal visitors wait 1.2 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
Speed Index: 4.6 s
4.6 sVisually, the page fills in at 4.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
28 images without width and height
28 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Time to Interactive: 4.4 s
4.4 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 4.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
First Contentful Paint: 2.0 s
2.0 sThe first text or image appears after 2.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Total Blocking Time: 10 ms
10 msScripts block the page for only 10 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
3 images below the first screen load straight away
3 images further down the page (134 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.2 g of CO₂ per visit
0.21 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.21 g of CO₂e: 24.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Page weight: 748 KiB in 62 requests
748 KiBYour homepage downloads 748 KiB in 62 requests on a phone: images 276 KiB (27), scripts 273 KiB (9) and fonts 119 KiB (7). That is a lean page.
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
7 text elements with low contrast
7 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 30 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
45 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 46 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 1 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
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 X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
36 internal links, 15 external
The homepage links to 36 pages on totalav.com and 15 external pages.
7 checks passed
Meta description: 146 characters
Your meta description is 146 characters: “TotalAV's Award-Winning antivirus instantly blocks harmful malware threats and viruses in real-time, keeping your perso…”.
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Award-Winning Antivirus & Security Software”.
Title: 56 characters
Your title is a healthy 56 characters: “Official Site | TotalAV Award-Winning Antivirus Provider”.
Canonical URL set

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.totalav.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
No llms.txt
There is no https://www.totalav.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.
3 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: 5 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles) and contact details; description would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (923 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 page points its canonical at the homepage
https://www.totalav.com/privacy/internet-protection declares the homepage as its canonical URL, which tells Google it is a copy of the homepage and keeps it out of search results. A site-wide template setting usually causes this.
2 pages share a title
/ and https://www.totalav.com/privacy/internet-protection all use the title “Official Site | TotalAV Award-Winning Antivirus Provider”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
4 pages without a meta description
https://www.totalav.com/security/data-breach, https://www.totalav.com/affiliates, https://www.totalav.com/terms and https://www.totalav.com/privacy have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 22 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

Tap targets are thumb-sized
8 of 8 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
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.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
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.
About 861 words of copy
The homepage carries about 861 words of visible text.
4 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen

Privacy and tracking

1Opening the homepage sets 1 cookie (measured from a US location before any click).
3 other companies contacted

2 checks passed
Consent tool: Cookiebot
