Speed

10 to fix33
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.3 s · 804 KiB

    About 804 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.3 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 33

    33/100

    Your mobile performance score is 33. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Google CDN and Bigcommerce and others), adding 2.1 MB and 1.3 s of main-thread time.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    500 ms · 252 KiB

    25 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (252 KiB).

  • Google Tag Manager adds 606 ms

    606 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 606 ms of main-thread work and 884 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

    500 ms · 157 KiB

    9 images could be 157 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 500 ms faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    300 ms

    4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 300 ms.

  • Google CDN adds 228 ms

    228 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 228 ms of main-thread work and 328 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.

  • Main-thread work: 2.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Bigcommerce adds 187 ms

    187 ms

    Bigcommerce costs a phone 187 ms of main-thread work and 495 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

    150 ms · 67 KiB

    About 67 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 12 long tasks on the main thread

    12 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 205 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    100 ms · 18 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 18 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 100 ms faster on a phone.

  • 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.

  • Minify JavaScript

    5 KiB

    5 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 5 ms

    5 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 5 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

9 to fix67
  • 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.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.28

    0.28

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.28 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 12.6 s

    12.6 s

    Your largest element takes 12.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 15.1 s

    15.1 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 15.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 3.8 s

    3.8 s

    The first text or image appears after 3.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.273

    0.273

    The layout shifts by 0.273 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • Speed Index: 5.9 s

    5.9 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 619 ms

    619 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 619 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 8 images without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) got 11% slower for real visitors

    +11%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 102 ms to 116 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -6%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.7 s to 1.6 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

4 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 1.6 s

    1.6 s

    Real visitors wait 1.6 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 116 ms

    116 ms

    Real visitors wait 116 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.4 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 718 ms

    718 ms

    Real visitors wait 718 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

Images and page weight

2 to fix81
  • Page weight: 2.3 MB in 127 requests

    2.3 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.3 MB in 127 requests on a phone: scripts 1.7 MB (51), images 308 KiB (28) and fonts 87 KiB (4). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    2sandbannerbrands_copy__07806.jpg is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).

  • About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.65 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.65 g of CO₂e: 78.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • 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 8893
  • 13 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Links look like plain text

    6 links inside paragraphs rely on colour alone to stand out.

  • Frames without titles

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (59 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 59 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 1 link without text

    1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.

  • Headings skip levels

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

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (2 elements).

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 26 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 48 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 48 passed and 5 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

Google 100100
  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.

  • 184 internal links, 4 external

    The homepage links to 184 pages on 2sand.com and 4 external pages.

8 checks passed
  • Meta description: 122 characters

    Your meta description is 122 characters: “2Sand has great discounts on sanding supplies and abrasive products. Buy sandpaper online with fast shipping at 2sand.c…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Fast, fair, superior sanding supplies”.

  • Title: 60 characters

    Your title is a healthy 60 characters: “Sanding Supplies | Abrasive Products | Buy Sandpaper | 2Sand”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://2sand.com/.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://2sand.com/xmlsitemap.php.

AI search readiness

100
  • 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.

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: 6 of 6 facts

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

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (977 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

100
  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 117 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

7 checks passed

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 15 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Titles are unique

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

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

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

2 to fix83
  • Certificate expires in 7 days

    Your certificate from DigiCert, Inc. · Encryption Everywhere G3 TLS ECC P384 SHA384 2023 CA1 expires in 7 days. If it doesn't renew automatically, visitors get a security warning.

  • 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.

4 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (2sand.com).

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://2sand.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 44 links work

    All 44 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 4 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    2sand.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

    2sand.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 19 years old

    19 years

    2sand.com was registered in Jul 2007 through Cloudflare, Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Jul 2033

    2sand.com is registered until Jul 2033.

Content and conversion

1 to fix94
  • 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 opening hours

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

  • No map or directions link

    There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

  • 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 726 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 726 words of visible text.

7 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “SIGN UP”.

  • 10 calls to action

    The homepage has 10 calls to action, for example “Register”, “Shop by Brand” and “All Shop by Brand”.

  • 2 short forms

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 17 testimonial or review blocks and 1 trust badge.

  • Analytics in place

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 2 phone links and 0 email links.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.

Email authentication

85
  • Email authentication score: 85/100

    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.

3 checks passed
  • DMARC policy: quarantine

    DMARC tells receivers to quarantine mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.

  • SPF in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 +a +mx include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:_spf.bigcommerce.com ~all”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 4 trackers load before any consent

    4

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

  • 26 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 26 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
