Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
3.3 s · 704 KiBAbout 704 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.3 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.6 s18 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.6 s.
Mobile performance score: 46
46/100Your mobile performance score is 46 (desktop: 54). 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 (zotabox.com, Cloudflare CDN and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 1.3 MB and 1.0 s of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
750 ms · 145 KiB10 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (145 KiB).
Improve image delivery
400 ms · 73 KiB6 images could be 73 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 400 ms faster on a phone.
zotabox.com adds 401 ms
401 mszotabox.com costs a phone 401 ms of main-thread work and 654 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.
10 long tasks on the main thread
10 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 413 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Main-thread work: 2.6 s
A phone's processor spends 2.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 19 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 19 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
98 KiBAbout 98 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Minify JavaScript
10 KiB10 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.

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.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.6 MB in 177 requests
2.6 MBYour homepage downloads 2.6 MB in 177 requests on a phone: scripts 1.4 MB (66), other files 722 KiB (84) and images 263 KiB (16). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

0.73 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.73 g of CO₂e: 87.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
1 button without a name
1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
23 text elements with low contrast
23 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 (6 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
10 links without text

2 checks passed

47 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 51 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 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
Title is long (69 characters)
Your title is 69 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Ergonomic Office Chairs, Electric Height Adjustable Desks | ErgoEquip”.
5 H1 headlines
There are 5 <h1> headlines (“ErgoEquip”, “Reviews” and “Newsletter”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Meta description is long (314 characters)
Your meta description is 314 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
Structured data has 4 problems
Structured data found (untyped) but with 4 problems, for example “ld+json block 1 is not valid JSON (Bad control character in string literal in JSON at position )”.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

The homepage links to 78 pages on abilityatwork.com and 6 external pages.

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.

llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Domain and trust
