Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
2.4 s · 1.3 MB55 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.3 MB).
Render-blocking requests
2.4 s13 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.4 s.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, YouTube and Facebook and others), adding 1.9 MB and 1.2 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
450 ms · 930 KiBAbout 930 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 54
54/100Your mobile performance score is 54 (desktop: 87). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Improve image delivery
300 ms · 698 KiB13 images could be 698 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.
YouTube adds 452 ms
452 msYouTube costs a phone 452 ms of main-thread work and 999 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 466 ms
466 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 466 ms of main-thread work and 668 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.
Main-thread work: 2.5 s
A phone's processor spends 2.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 145 KiBAbout 145 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
13 long tasks on the main thread
13 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 162 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Document request latency
66 KiBThe HTML itself could arrive sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.
Legacy JavaScript
12 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 12 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 87 but mobile only 54. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.
Minify CSS
7 KiB7 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
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.

Server response: 37 ms
37 msYour server sent the HTML in 37 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors
Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.
Time to Interactive: 23.4 s
23.4 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 23.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 6.5 s
6.5 sYour largest element takes 6.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Allied Valve: Valve and Actuation Sales, Service, and Repai…”.
First Contentful Paint: 3.8 s
3.8 sThe first text or image appears after 3.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Speed Index: 7.2 s
7.2 sVisually, the page fills in at 7.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Real-user LCP: 2.7 s
2.7 sReal visitors wait 2.7 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.
Largest content (LCP) got 32% slower for real visitors
+32%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-10, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.2 s to 3.0 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Real-user FCP: 2.7 s
2.7 sReal visitors see the first content after 2.7 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
Real-user TTFB: 1.8 s
1.8 sReal visitors wait 1.8 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
Total Blocking Time: 370 ms
370 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 370 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
7 images without width and height
7 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
-8%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-10, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 97 ms to 83 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Real-user INP: 88 ms
88 msReal visitors wait 88 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.
Real-user CLS: 0.00
0.00For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.001
0.001The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.001, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.4 MB in 161 requests
3.4 MBYour homepage downloads 3.4 MB in 161 requests on a phone: scripts 1.9 MB (42), images 981 KiB (48) and HTML 170 KiB (3). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image in older formats
1 image (84 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.
2 images below the first screen load straight away
2 images further down the page (40 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit
0.96 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.96 g of CO₂e: 114.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
Links look like plain text
21 links inside paragraphs rely on colour alone to stand out.
9 text elements with low contrast
9 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
2 tap targets too small
2 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (4 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
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.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4, h3 → h5 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 24 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
38 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 44 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 38 passed and 6 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

The homepage links to 166 pages on alliedvalveinc.com and 5 external pages.
8 checks passed

AI search readiness
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.
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 contact details; sameAs (social profiles) and description would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (699 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 page without a meta description
/products/biffi has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 60 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
6 checks passed
Linked pages load
All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

Best practices
16 small tap targets
16 of 30 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
5 third-party cookies
5 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.
3 JavaScript errors while loading
3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Manifest: Line: 1, column: 1, Syntax error.”.
6 distorted images
6 images are displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so they look stretched or squashed.
Browser-reported issues
Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
No HSTS header
No Strict-Transport-Security header, so browsers may still try plain http first on a return visit.
No Content-Security-Policy
No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
No clickjacking protection
Neither X-Frame-Options nor a CSP frame-ancestors policy is set, so any site can embed yours in a frame.
No X-Content-Type-Options
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.
1 link through redirect chains
1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://myaviportal.com/.
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.
5 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (alliedvalveinc.com).
Valid certificate (43 days left)

All 45 links work
All 45 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 5 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust

3 checks passed
DMARC policy: reject
DMARC tells receivers to reject mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.
SPF with a strict ending (-all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 mx include:auth.msgapp.com include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:mailgun.org -all”.
