Speed

4 to fix80
  • Mobile performance score: 80

    80/100

    Your 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 KiB

    4 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (57 KiB).

  • Render-blocking requests

    450 ms

    8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    340 ms · 70 KiB

    About 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 KiB

    4 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 KiB

    About 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 ms

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

Core Web Vitals

7 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: 4.4 s

    4.4 s

    Your 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 s

    Real 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 s

    Visually, 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 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 4.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.0 s

    2.0 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    -7%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 115 ms to 108 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

7 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 1.9 s

    1.9 s

    Real visitors wait 1.9 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 96 ms

    96 ms

    Real visitors wait 96 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: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.7 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 15% faster for real visitors

    -15%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.5 s to 2.1 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

  • Total Blocking Time: 10 ms

    10 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 10 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

100
  • 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 g

    By 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 KiB

    Your 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

1 to fixGoogle 9698
  • 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

1 to fixGoogle 10097
  • 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

    The canonical URL is https://www.totalav.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, Corporation, Product and WebSite.

  • 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

100
  • 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

3 to fix78
  • 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.

  • 15 internal pages checked

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

4 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • 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 100100
3 checks passed
  • No console errors

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

  • 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

4 to fix75
  • 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

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Download Now”.

  • 3 calls to action

    The homepage has 3 calls to action, for example “Download Now”, “Contact Us” and “pricing matrix”.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: a star rating and 7 trust badges.

  • 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 cookie set on arrival

    1

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

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Consent tool: Cookiebot

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

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