Speed

6 to fix66
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    3.0 s · 1.3 MB

    52 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.3 MB).

  • Render-blocking requests

    2.5 s

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

  • Mobile performance score: 66

    66/100

    Your mobile performance score is 66. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    600 ms · 354 KiB

    About 354 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    450 ms · 102 KiB

    About 102 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google Maps adds 229 ms

    229 ms

    Google Maps costs a phone 229 ms of main-thread work and 463 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.

  • 3 third-party services on the page

    3 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Maps, Google Fonts and Other Google APIs/SDKs), adding 559 KiB and 232 ms of main-thread time.

  • Font display

    150 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 150 ms).

  • 2 long tasks on the main thread

    2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 60 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    16 KiB

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

  • Minify JavaScript

    9 KiB

    9 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Improve image delivery

    8 KiB

    1 image could be 8 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Minify CSS

    7 KiB

    7 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • 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: 1.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 459 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

5 to fix72
  • Speed Index: 16.2 s

    16.2 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 16.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 5.6 s

    5.6 s

    Your largest element takes 5.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “WildFire Energy is an independent energy company focused on…”. Most of its time is element render delay (9.7 s).

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.6 s

    2.6 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 5.6 s

    5.6 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 5.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • 1 image without width and height

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

  • Not enough real-visitor data yet

    Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

3 checks passed
  • Largest content (LCP) got 12% faster for real visitors

    -12%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.2 s to 3.0 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
  • About 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.52 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.52 g of CO₂e: 62.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

4 checks passed
  • Page weight: 1.8 MB in 73 requests

    1.8 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.8 MB in 73 requests on a phone: scripts 798 KiB (35), images 710 KiB (9) and fonts 186 KiB (4). That is a lean page.

  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images load when needed

    Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.

  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

9 to fixGoogle 6785
  • 1 text element with low contrast

    1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • Frames without titles

    1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.

  • 1 image without alt text

    1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (6 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 6 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.

  • Zoom is disabled

    The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

  • 2 links without text

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

  • 1 form field without a label

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

  • Headings should not be empty (5 elements)

    Headings should not be empty: 5 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h6, h2 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 32 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 41 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 32 passed and 9 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 7781
  • No meta description

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

  • Title is short (22 characters)

    Your title is only 22 characters: “Home - Wildfire Energy”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • 9 links with vague text

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

  • Open Graph partly set

    Open Graph is missing og:description, so shared links fall back to guesses.

  • 21 internal links, 10 external

    The homepage links to 21 pages on wildfire-energy.com and 10 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “WildFire Energy LLC”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.wildfire-energy.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, ImageObject, WebPage 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.wildfire-energy.com/sitemap_index.xml.

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 https://www.wildfire-energy.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

    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 (1,692 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

3 to fix65
  • 3 linked pages are broken

    Your homepage links to https://www.wildfire-energy.com/home, https://www.wildfire-energy.com/owner-relations and https://www.wildfire-energy.com/careers, which answer with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop them.

  • 1 page without a meta description

    https://www.wildfire-energy.com/executive-team has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 page without an H1

    https://www.wildfire-energy.com/executive-team has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 1 page slow to respond

    https://www.wildfire-energy.com/executive-team took over 3 s to send its HTML from our server.

  • 5 internal pages checked

    We fetched 5 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

4 checks passed
  • 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.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 1 page that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 10093
  • 8 small tap targets

    8 of 14 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

2 checks passed
  • No console errors

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

  • 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.

  • 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 analytics detected

    No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

  • No opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • Phone number is not tap-to-call

    Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.

  • 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 488 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 488 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”.

  • 3 calls to action

    The homepage has 3 calls to action, for example “Contact Us” and “Start Searching”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage.

Privacy and tracking

  • 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.

  • 5 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 5 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • 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 wildfire-energy.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
