One score from every part of this review. How it works

Live view · interaction off

Speed

9 to fix60
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.2 s · 236 KiB

    About 236 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.2 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.1 s

    3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 60

    60/100

    Your mobile performance score is 60. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Bigcommerce and Hotjar and others), adding 1.0 MB and 736 ms of main-thread time.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 313 ms

    313 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 313 ms of main-thread work and 338 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.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    300 ms · 47 KiB

    About 47 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Bigcommerce adds 262 ms

    262 ms

    Bigcommerce costs a phone 262 ms of main-thread work and 563 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.

  • 8 long tasks on the main thread

    8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 257 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 1,597 HTML elements

    The page has 1,597 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    150 ms · 27 KiB

    6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (27 KiB).

  • Font display

    100 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).

  • Improve image delivery

    64 KiB

    4 images could be 64 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    18 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 18 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.

  • Minify JavaScript

    5 KiB

    5 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 838 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: 8.6 s

    8.6 s

    Your largest element takes 8.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “QUANTITY DISCOUNTS ON ALL CHAINS SHOP ALL CHAINS”.

  • Time to Interactive: 8.7 s

    8.7 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 8.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 806 ms

    806 ms

    Real visitors wait 806 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Total Blocking Time: 489 ms

    489 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 489 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Speed Index: 3.8 s

    3.8 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 3.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 16 images without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    -7%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 79 ms to 69 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    0%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.0 s to 2.0 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

6 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: 77 ms

    77 ms

    Real visitors wait 77 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: 1.6 s

    1.6 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.6 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.7 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

100
  • 2 images in older formats

    2 images (83 KiB) are JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.

  • 3 images below the first screen load straight away

    3 images further down the page (80 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 0.3 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.31 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.31 g of CO₂e: 37.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • Page weight: 1.1 MB in 60 requests

    1.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.1 MB in 60 requests on a phone: scripts 675 KiB (26), images 252 KiB (11) and fonts 88 KiB (4). That is a lean page.

  • Images are sized for phones

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

Accessibility

5 to fixGoogle 8894
  • 37 text elements with low contrast

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (43 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 43 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.

  • 1 form field without a label

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

  • Headings skip levels

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

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 29 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 43 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 43 passed and 5 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

7 to fixGoogle 8566
  • No meta description

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

  • Title is short (16 characters)

    Your title is only 16 characters: “1st Chain Supply”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • 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 XML sitemap

    No XML sitemap at https://www.1st-chainsupply.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

  • 1 link crawlers can't follow

    1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.

  • One H1 headline

    Your <h1> is empty.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

  • 232 internal links, 0 external

    The homepage links to 232 pages on 1st-chainsupply.com and 0 external pages.

2 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.1st-chainsupply.com/.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place.

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 /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 (863 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 14 pages without a meta description

    /chains, /chains/chain-by-type, /chain-by-type/binder-chain, /chain-by-type/mooring-chain, /chain-by-type/powder-coated and /chain-by-type/security-maxx and 8 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 2 links to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 2 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example /chain-by-type/powder-coated, whose canonical is /chains/chain-by-type/powder-coated. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 106 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • 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

2 to fixGoogle 9682
  • 1 broken image

    1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=134612170&Ver=2&mid=1ed0fbbf-a7e9-4fa5-9e70-744c3175cb79&bo=1&sid=06817ab0d64a11f1880917c19b44a795&vid=06818600d64a11f1be7be5e5c8443af1&vids=1&msclkid=N&pi=918639831&l.

  • 2 distorted images

    2 images are displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so they look stretched or squashed.

3 checks passed
  • No console errors

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

  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    105 of 106 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

1 to fix92
  • No Content-Security-Policy

    No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • No clickjacking protection

    Neither X-Frame-Options nor a CSP frame-ancestors policy is set, so any site can embed yours in a frame.

  • Short HSTS lifetime

    HSTS is set, but max-age is 0 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

  • No Referrer-Policy

    No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

  • No Permissions-Policy

    No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

  • No security.txt

    There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

5 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (1st-chainsupply.com).

  • Valid certificate (44 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for 1st-chainsupply.com and is valid for another 44 days.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://1st-chainsupply.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2 and HTTP/3

    The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.

  • All 40 links work

    All 40 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 0 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    1st-chainsupply.com has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.

  • DNSSEC is off

    1st-chainsupply.com's DNS answers are not signed. DNSSEC stops attackers forging them to send visitors or email elsewhere; most registrars switch it on in a click, though most sites still run without it.

2 checks passed
  • Domain is 24 years old

    24 years

    1st-chainsupply.com was registered in Jul 2002 through eNom, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Jul 2028

    1st-chainsupply.com is registered until Jul 2028.

Content and conversion

100
  • 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 879 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 879 words of visible text.

6 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “REGISTER” and “SHOP ALL CHAINS”.

  • 15 calls to action

    The homepage has 15 calls to action, for example “417-451-9422 | Contact”, “Register” and “Shop All Chains”.

  • 4 short forms

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

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 6 customer or partner logos and 1 trust badge.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics and Hotjar.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 0 email links.

Email authentication

1 to fix45
  • No DMARC policy

    1st-chainsupply.com has no DMARC record, so nothing tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF or DKIM. Gmail and Yahoo require DMARC from bulk senders.

  • Email authentication score: 45/100

    Email authentication: SPF record 25 points, plus 15 when it ends in -all (10 for ~all); DMARC record 25, plus 25 for a reject policy (15 for quarantine); a DKIM key on a common selector 10.

2 checks passed
  • SPF in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 ip4:50.87.145.12 ip4:50.87.144.120 +a +mx +ip4:192.185.4.72 ~all”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “default”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 6 trackers load before any consent

    6

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and Klaviyo and 1 more (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.

  • 18 cookies set on arrival

    18

    Opening the homepage sets 18 cookies (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.

  • 15 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 15 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Upkeep, stack and company

No signs of neglect in what was checked: the copyright year, CMS and plugin versions, and jQuery.
