Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
5.8 s · 1.3 MBAbout 1.3 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 5.8 s faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
2.5 s · 475 KiB9 images could be 475 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.5 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
2.5 s22 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.5 s.
Mobile performance score: 36
36/100Your mobile performance score is 36 (desktop: 73). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 5.7 s
A phone's processor spends 5.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (YouTube, Google CDN and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 2.7 MB and 2.2 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
750 ms · 184 KiBAbout 184 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.
YouTube adds 685 ms
685 msYouTube costs a phone 685 ms of main-thread work and 1.0 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.
Google CDN adds 575 ms
575 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 575 ms of main-thread work and 733 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.
Google Tag Manager adds 488 ms
488 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 488 ms of main-thread work and 795 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.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 283 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
99 KiB13 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (99 KiB).
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 73 but mobile only 36. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.
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

12.2 sThe first text or image appears after 12.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 19.9 s
19.9 sYour largest element takes 19.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Accurate Box Company is a certified woman-owned (WBENC) bus…”.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 23.2 MB in 128 requests
23.2 MBYour homepage downloads 23.2 MB in 128 requests on a phone: media 18.8 MB (3), scripts 2.7 MB (44) and images 618 KiB (18). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image far larger than shown
79 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example Untitled-design-3.png at 1,654 px wide, shown at 237 px. Resized copies would save about 79 KiB.
1 image in older formats
1 image (255 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 below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (97 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 6.6 g of CO₂ per visit
6.57 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 6.57 g of CO₂e: 788.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
7 text elements with low contrast
7 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
1 image without alt text
1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
1 link without text
1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.
1 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. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Meta description is long (256 characters)
Your meta description is 256 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
6 links with vague text
6 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
1 link crawlers can't follow
1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.
97 internal links, 5 external
The homepage links to 97 pages on accuratebox.com and 5 external pages.
6 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Delivering Stand-Out Packaging to America’s Favorite Brands”.
Title: 32 characters
Your title is a healthy 32 characters: “Home - Accurate Box Company, Inc”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://accuratebox.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, Organization, WebPage and WebSite.
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://accuratebox.com/sitemap_index.xml.
AI search readiness
No llms.txt
There is no https://accuratebox.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.
3 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.
Organization data: 4 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (603 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 page without a meta description
https://accuratebox.com/about-us/history-of-accurate-box has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 link to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example https://accuratebox.com/contact, whose canonical is https://accuratebox.com/about-us/contact-us. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

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: 4 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
Phone number is not tap-to-call
Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.
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 489 words of copy
The homepage carries about 489 words of visible text.
5 checks passed

11 cookies set on arrival
11Opening the homepage sets 11 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).
28 other companies contacted
