Jacksonville, Florida · September 7, 2026
We audited 9 auto repair websites in Jacksonville. The average scored 57 / 100.
We picked 9 independent auto repair shops in Jacksonville, Florida — no national chains — and ran the same six checks on each homepage that SiteRise runs for anyone who enters an address. Nobody asked us to, and no shop is named here. These are the real numbers.
Every score, lowest to highest
Not one of these 9 sites came out clean. The spread is narrow, which is the point: this is not a few bad shops, it is how the trade's websites are built.
What went wrong most often
Six checks ran on each homepage. Here is all six, with how many of the 9 Jacksonville sites failed each one.
What each of those costs a shop
No insecure links inside the page — failed by 8 of 9
Parts of the page still load over an unprotected connection. Browsers quietly block some of them, so pieces of the page go missing.
Images described for screen readers — failed by 7 of 9
Photos carry no written description. A blind customer hears nothing, and search engines see nothing to read.
One clear page headline — failed by 4 of 9
The page has no single clear headline. Search engines cannot tell what the shop does or where it is.
Homepage is light enough to load fast — failed by 3 of 9
The homepage sends far more code than it needs to. On a phone on mobile data, that is real seconds of waiting.
Works on a phone screen — failed by 1 of 9
Nothing tells a phone how wide the page should be, so it opens zoomed out and the customer has to pinch to read it.
Why this matters more than it sounds
A customer with a dead alternator does not compare shops carefully. They search on a phone, open the first two results, and call whichever one answers first. Around half of visitors leave a page that takes more than three seconds to appear — and most people form a first judgement of a business from its website alone.
None of the faults above are hard to fix. They are the sort of thing that takes a competent developer an afternoon. The problem is that nobody ever told the owner they were there.
