3dtraining.uk.com website review

3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.8 s.

About 160 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 860 ms faster on a phone.

Your mobile performance score is 85. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

13 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (249 KiB).

3 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Google Fonts and Google Analytics), adding 235 KiB and 203 ms of main-thread time.

About 207 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 123 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

2 images could be 122 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

Polyfills for old browsers add 10 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Visually, the page fills in at 14.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

The page becomes fully interactive after 7.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

The first text or image appears after 2.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

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

Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example cyberessentials.png at 1,524 px wide, shown at 90 px. Resized copies would save about 111 KiB.

1 image (115 KiB) is 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.

1 image further down the page (115 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.29 g of CO₂e: 34.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

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.

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

The homepage links to 50 pages on 3dtraining.uk.com and 8 external pages.

https://www.3dtraining.uk.com/page/2 declares the homepage as its canonical URL, which tells Google it is a copy of the homepage and keeps it out of search results. A site-wide template setting usually causes this.

https://www.3dtraining.uk.com/news/category/news is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

/ and https://www.3dtraining.uk.com/page/2 all use the title “Three Dimensional Training | Training Solutions”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

https://www.3dtraining.uk.com/news and https://www.3dtraining.uk.com/news/category/news have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

https://www.3dtraining.uk.com/about, https://www.3dtraining.uk.com/funded-courses, https://www.3dtraining.uk.com/upcoming-courses, https://www.3dtraining.uk.com/careers-education-information-advice-guidance, https://www.3dtraining.uk.com/employers and https://www.3dtraining.uk.com/community and 4 others took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 16 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

9 of 17 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

Large scripts ship without source maps.

On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

The homepage has only about 223 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

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

Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.

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

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

Opening the homepage sets 2 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

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.

Loading the homepage contacts 4 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
