When a property manager or homeowner searches for asphalt paving, sealcoating, or driveway installation and clicks on lionpaving.com, modern browsers attempt a strict HTTPS connection first. During our live diagnostic of LA Web Design LLC's portfolio, we found that lionpaving.com failed the standard HTTPS TLS handshake (requiring an HTTP fallback), while delivering a 150-kilobyte homepage HTML document containing 38 separate inline <style> blocks and an 11-character <title>Lion Paving</title> tag.
Three Technical Issues Flagged on LionPaving.com
- HTTPS / TLS Handshake Failure on Initial Probe: When our standard HTTPS client probed
https://lionpaving.com/, the TLS handshake failed and had to fall back to legacy HTTP. If a visitor's browser has HTTPS-Only Mode enabled, any certificate or TLS cipher mismatch shows a security warning before they ever see your phone number at (970) 230-0661. - 150 KB Homepage HTML + 38 Inline
<style>Blocks: Instead of linking to a small external cached stylesheet (`0` external CSS files were linked), the page embeds 38 separate<style>blocks directly inside a 150 KB HTML document—forcing the browser to re-download all styling code on every single page view. - 11-Character Title Tag (
<title>Lion Paving</title>): Your homepage title tag is just "Lion Paving" without mentioning asphalt paving, sealcoating, commercial parking lots, or your Colorado service areas.
Quick Win for Lion Paving: Fixing the TLS/SSL certificate configuration, extracting those 38 inline style blocks into a cached stylesheet, and expanding your <title> tag will make the site faster, secure on every device, and much stronger in local Google searches.
