Render-blocking requests
2.0 s6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.0 s.
Improve image delivery
979 KiB17 images could be 979 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Reduce unused CSS
680 ms · 121 KiBAbout 121 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 680 ms faster on a phone.
5 third-party services on the page
5 third-party services load with your homepage (Bigcommerce, Google Tag Manager and jQuery CDN and others), adding 3.1 MB and 407 ms of main-thread time.
Bigcommerce adds 312 ms
312 msBigcommerce costs a phone 312 ms of main-thread work and 2.8 MB 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 JavaScript
269 KiBAbout 269 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 138 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
39 KiB8 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (39 KiB).
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 KiB5 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Mobile performance score: 90
90/100Your mobile performance score is 90. That is in Google's “good” band (90 and up).
Main-thread work: 1.0 s
A phone's processor spends 1.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 476 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 4 ms
4 msYour server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Time to Interactive: 8.1 s
8.1 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 8.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
First Contentful Paint: 2.4 s
2.4 sThe first text or image appears after 2.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Speed Index: 4.0 s
4.0 sVisually, the page fills in at 4.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
4 images without width and height
4 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Not enough real-visitor data yet
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.
3 checks passed
Largest Contentful Paint: 2.4 s
2.4 sYour largest element renders in 2.4 s on a phone, inside Google's 2.5 s “good” threshold. The largest element is the text “3R-Machinery is the premier North American distributor of t…”.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.078
0.078The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.078, good is under 0.1).
Total Blocking Time: 143 ms
143 msScripts block the page for only 143 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.3 MB in 48 requests
3.3 MBYour homepage downloads 3.3 MB in 48 requests on a phone: images 2.5 MB (25), scripts 548 KiB (12) and stylesheets 133 KiB (4). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
14 images below the first screen load straight away
14 images further down the page (1.0 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
4 images far larger than shown
360 KiB4 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example mjc65-banner_rev1__45613.png at 2,001 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 360 KiB.
1 image in older formats
1 image (43 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.
About 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit
0.94 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.94 g of CO₂e: 112.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
8 text elements with low contrast
8 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 (17 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 17 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.
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.
12 links without text
12 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
5 form fields without a label
5 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h3 → h5), 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. (1 element).
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 25 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
46 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: 46 passed and 6 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
4 H1 headlines
There are 4 <h1> headlines (“”, “” and “Act Fast, Save Now”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
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.
11 links with vague text
11 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
7 links crawlers can't follow
7 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
106 internal links, 5 external
The homepage links to 106 pages on 3rmachinery.com and 5 external pages.
5 checks passed
Meta description: 151 characters
Your meta description is 151 characters: “As a premier North American distributor, 3R-Machinery is dedicated to providing top-of-the-line shredding equipment and…”.
Title: 45 characters

Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://3rmachinery.com/.
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.
XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://3rmachinery.com/xmlsitemap.php.
AI search readiness
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 https://3rmachinery.com/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.
Opted out of AI training for 5 crawlers
robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended and CCBot, which collect pages to train models. That's a legitimate choice and doesn't by itself stop the site appearing in AI answers, which the crawlers above handle.
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 (1,628 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 66 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

Best practices
16 small tap targets
16 of 42 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
1 JavaScript error while loading
1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'PrivacyCookieEnabled')”.
1 distorted image
1 image is displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so it looks stretched or squashed.
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
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 1,538 words of copy
The homepage carries about 1,538 words of visible text.
6 checks passed

Privacy and tracking
2 trackers load before any consent
2Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads 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.
8 cookies set on arrival
8Opening the homepage sets 8 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (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.
8 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 8 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
Security, domain, email and software versions
The security, domain and email checks, software and plugin versions, and any app with a known security problem are visible only to people at 3rmachinery.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
