3dabilities.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.2 s · 9.6 MB66 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (9.6 MB).
elfsightcdn.com adds 1.7 s
1.7 selfsightcdn.com costs a phone 1.7 s of main-thread work and 87.0 MB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.0 s · 854 KiBAbout 854 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.0 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 20
20/100Your mobile performance score is 20. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 5.3 s
A phone's processor spends 5.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 85.5 MB52 images could be 85.5 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (elfsightcdn.com, Bigcommerce and Key CDN and others), adding 87.9 MB and 2.3 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
600 ms · 91 KiBAbout 91 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
600 ms5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 600 ms.
12 long tasks on the main thread
12 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 524 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Bigcommerce adds 255 ms
255 msBigcommerce costs a phone 255 ms of main-thread work and 485 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.
1,832 HTML elements
The page has 1,832 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 20 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 20 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Minify JavaScript
150 ms · 5 KiB5 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
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.

Core Web Vitals
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: 0.52
0.52For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.52 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
Largest Contentful Paint: 9.7 s
9.7 sYour largest element takes 9.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “3D Prints, Carbon Fiber & GPM Upgrades for Traxxas & ARRMA …”.
Time to Interactive: 17.9 s
17.9 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 17.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.548
0.548The layout shifts by 0.548 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
Total Blocking Time: 1.4 s
1.4 sScripts block taps and scrolling for 1.4 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Speed Index: 7.5 s
7.5 sVisually, the page fills in at 7.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
24 images without width and height
24 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
+9%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 87 ms to 95 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
Page weight: 88.2 MB in 118 requests
88.2 MBYour homepage downloads 88.2 MB in 118 requests on a phone: images 86.0 MB (54), scripts 1.8 MB (24) and fonts 131 KiB (5). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
14 images over 500 KB
14 images weigh 40.8 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
23 images far larger than shown
41.1 MB23 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example Show-off-your-car-and-make-heads-turn-.png at 3,375 px wide, shown at 138 px. Resized copies would save about 41.1 MB.
24 images in older formats
24 images (42.9 MB) 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.
12 images below the first screen load straight away
12 images further down the page (31.5 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 25.0 g of CO₂ per visit
24.99 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 24.99 g of CO₂e: 2998.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
2 tap targets too small
2 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
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.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (4 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (4 elements).
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 2 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 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 48 passed and 4 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
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 X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

AI search readiness
No Organization structured data

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

Valid certificate (60 days left)
The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for 3dabilities.com and is valid for another 60 days.
