Speed
Render-blocking requests
1.1 s6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.
Mobile performance score: 89
89/100Your mobile performance score is 89. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
300 ms · 310 KiBAbout 310 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
300 ms · 85 KiB3 images could be 85 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 77 KiBAbout 77 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
302 KiB16 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (302 KiB).
Bigcommerce adds 126 ms
126 msBigcommerce costs a phone 126 ms of main-thread work and 471 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 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Bigcommerce, Google Tag Manager and jQuery CDN and others), adding 950 KiB and 372 ms of main-thread time.
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 131 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Minify JavaScript
8 KiB8 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.
Minify CSS
4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 0.9 s
A phone's processor spends 0.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 375 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 5 ms
5 msYour server sent the HTML in 5 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Time to Interactive: 7.9 s
7.9 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 7.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 3.6 s
3.6 sYour largest element takes 3.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
5 images without width and height
5 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.
4 checks passed
First Contentful Paint: 1.7 s
1.7 sThe first text or image appears after 1.7 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Speed Index: 2.2 s
2.2 sVisually, the page fills in at 2.2 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.006
0.006The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.006, good is under 0.1).
Total Blocking Time: 54 ms
54 msScripts block the page for only 54 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
ChromoShowcase.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).
2 images in older formats
2 images (65 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.
About 0.3 g of CO₂ per visit
0.32 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.32 g of CO₂e: 39.0 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 44 requests
1.1 MBYour homepage downloads 1.1 MB in 44 requests on a phone: scripts 549 KiB (13), images 458 KiB (17) and stylesheets 91 KiB (6). 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
Orphan list items
Some list items are not inside a list.
2 text elements with low contrast
2 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Malformed lists
Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.
Hidden but focusable
1 element hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
1 tap target too small
1 tap target is too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
12 images without alt text
12 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (6 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 6 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.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
5 links without text
5 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (1 element)
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3, h1 → h3 and h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
45 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 57 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 12 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.
8 H1 headlines
There are 8 <h1> headlines (“”, “Microbiology International” and “Chromogenic Media”). 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.
No XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at https://800ezmicrocart.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
8 links crawlers can't follow
8 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.
53 internal links, 4 external
The homepage links to 53 pages on 800ezmicrocart.com and 4 external pages.
4 checks passed
Meta description: 151 characters
Your meta description is 151 characters: “Microbiology International offers laboratory equipment and supplies including autoclaves, anaerobic chambers, colony co…”.
Title: 60 characters
Your title is a healthy 60 characters: “Laboratory Equipment & Supplies | Microbiology International”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://800ezmicrocart.com/.
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place.
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 /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.
1 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.
Other pages
1 page points its canonical at the homepage
/compare 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.
2 pages share a title
/ and /compare all use the title “Laboratory Equipment & Supplies | Microbiology International”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
14 pages without a meta description
/consumables, /consumables/chromogenic-media, /consumables/dehydrated-culture-media, /consumables/mediabox, /consumables/ez-media-bottles-tubes and /consumables/prepared-plates and 8 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 page with very little text
/equipment has under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 24 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

Best practices
8 small tap targets
8 of 37 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
2 JavaScript errors while loading
2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://filter.freshclick.co.uk/assets/client/freshclick-filter-new.css?v=20260918' from o…”.

Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
No Content-Security-Policy
No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
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.
6 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (800ezmicrocart.com).
Valid certificate (28 days left)
The certificate from DigiCert Inc · Encryption Everywhere DV TLS CA - G2 verifies for 800ezmicrocart.com and is valid for another 28 days.
Protected from clickjacking
X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.
http:// redirects to https
http://800ezmicrocart.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 32 links work
All 32 links checked from your homepage (28 internal, 4 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
800ezmicrocart.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
800ezmicrocart.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 years800ezmicrocart.com was registered in May 2007 through Network Solutions, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until May 2028
800ezmicrocart.com is registered until May 2028.
Content and conversion
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.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 1 trust badge. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No direct contact details
No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.
Only about 139 words
The homepage has only about 139 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
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.
5 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Subscribe”.
3 calls to action

2 short forms
2 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Analytics.
Phone number on the homepage
Your phone number is on the homepage.
Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be 800ezmicrocart.com is still delivered. Add a report address, check the reports, then move to quarantine.
No DKIM key on the usual selectors
We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.
Email authentication score: 65/100
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.
1 checks passed
SPF with a strict ending (-all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 +a +mx include:_spf.bigcommerce.com -all”.
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.
13 cookies set on arrival
13Opening the homepage sets 13 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.
