Speed

8 to fix70
  • Render-blocking requests

    2.5 s

    14 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.5 s.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Clarity, govx.com and Shopify and others), adding 8.0 MB and 768 ms of main-thread time.

  • Mobile performance score: 70

    70/100

    Your mobile performance score is 70. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Shopify adds 132 ms

    132 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 132 ms of main-thread work and 7.5 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.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    401 KiB

    About 401 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Main-thread work: 3.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    256 KiB

    19 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (256 KiB).

  • Google CDN adds 79 ms

    79 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 79 ms of main-thread work and 349 KiB 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

    233 KiB

    13 images could be 233 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • 1 long task on the main thread

    1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 94 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    33 KiB

    About 33 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    16 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 16 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • 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: 7 ms

    7 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 7 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix100
  • Time to Interactive: 16.6 s

    16.6 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 16.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 4.5 s

    4.5 s

    The first text or image appears after 4.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 4.5 s

    4.5 s

    Your largest element takes 4.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “We and our partners, including Shopify, use cookies and oth…”. Most of its time is element render delay (2.5 s).

  • Speed Index: 6.2 s

    6.2 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 6.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 14 images without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +3%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 87 ms to 89 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    +1%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.4 s to 1.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

8 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

  • Real-user LCP: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    Real visitors wait 1.7 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 99 ms

    99 ms

    Real visitors wait 99 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.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.0 s

    1.0 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.0 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 487 ms

    487 ms

    Real visitors wait 487 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.001

    0.001

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.001, good is under 0.1).

  • Total Blocking Time: 22 ms

    22 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 22 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

1 to fix33
  • Page weight: 11.0 MB in 234 requests

    11.0 MB

    Your homepage downloads 11.0 MB in 234 requests on a phone: media 7.2 MB (7), other files 1.3 MB (98) and images 1.2 MB (30). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 3.1 g of CO₂ per visit

    3.11 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.11 g of CO₂e: 373.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

9 to fixGoogle 8687
  • 7 tap targets too small

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

  • Malformed lists

    Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.

  • 6 buttons without a name

    6 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • 4 images without alt text

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (10 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 10 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.

  • 11 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 1 form field without a label

    1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (8 elements)

    ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 8 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h3, h1 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 40 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 45 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 40 passed and 5 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 7784
  • Title is long (83 characters)

    Your title is 83 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Uniden | Radar Detectors, Scanners, CB & Marine Radios – Uniden America Corporation”.

  • 2 H1 headlines

    There are 2 <h1> headlines (“” and “SUBSCRIBE. WIN. STAY CONNECTED.”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • 2 links crawlers can't follow

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

  • 2 links with vague text

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

  • 95 internal links, 11 external

    The homepage links to 95 pages on uniden.com and 11 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 149 characters

    Your meta description is 149 characters: “Shop Uniden radar detectors, radio scanners, CB radios and VHF marine radios. Explore trusted communication and driver-…”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization and WebSite.

  • 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 and points crawlers to your sitemap.

  • XML sitemap found

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

AI search readiness

100
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: 4 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://uniden.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

4 to fix68
  • 1 page without a title

    https://uniden.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.

  • 1 linked page hidden from search

    https://uniden.com/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

  • 7 pages without a meta description

    https://uniden.com/pages/about-us, https://uniden.com/pages/parts-accessories, https://uniden.com/pages/pro-installed, https://uniden.com/pages/the-signal, https://uniden.com/pages/support and https://uniden.com/customer_authentication/redirect and 1 other have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 6 pages without an H1

    https://uniden.com/pages/about-us, https://uniden.com/pages/parts-accessories, https://uniden.com/pages/pro-installed, https://uniden.com/pages/the-signal, https://uniden.com/pages/support and https://uniden.com/customer_authentication/redirect have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 50 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

3 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.

Best practices

Google 96100
3 checks passed
  • No console errors

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

  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    24 of 25 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix64
  • 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.

  • Only about 60 words

    The homepage has only about 60 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • 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.

4 checks passed
  • 15 calls to action

    The homepage has 15 calls to action, for example “Shop”, “Learn More” and “Shop Radar Detectors”.

  • 2 short forms

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

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Microsoft Clarity.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 3 phone links and 1 email link.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 1 tracker load before any consent

    1

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Microsoft Clarity (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.

  • 10 cookies set on arrival

    10

    Opening the homepage sets 10 cookies, 6 of them by other companies (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.

  • 13 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 13 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

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

Apps on your store

Your storefront loads 13 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
