altex.com website review

A phone's processor spends 7.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

The page has 5,587 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

Your mobile performance score is 75 (desktop: 98). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Google Tag Manager and Yotpo and others), adding 917 KiB and 701 ms of main-thread time.

8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 750 ms.

Shopify costs a phone 195 ms of main-thread work and 311 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.

About 206 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 205 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

14 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (115 KiB).

5 images could be 52 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

About 26 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

Polyfills for old browsers add 18 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

7 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

The page becomes fully interactive after 11.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Your largest element takes 4.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “a group of white objects”.

The first text or image appears after 2.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 4.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 209 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 99 ms to 112 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 2.5 MB in 287 requests on a phone: scripts 1.0 MB (113), other files 709 KiB (87) and images 436 KiB (42). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

Veto_Pro_Pac_Super_Store_Banner_v1.png 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).

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.70 g of CO₂e: 84.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Links must have discernible text: 28 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

Your title is only 29 characters: “Altex Computers & Electronics”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

Your meta description is 236 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

The homepage links to 105 pages on altex.com and 3 external pages.

/pages/contact-us has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

/pages/projects, /collections/access-points, /collections/ip-cameras and /collections/network-switches have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 52 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()”.

HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.

There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

altex.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.

altex.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.

Social proof on the homepage: a star rating. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

The homepage carries about 954 words of visible text.

The page uses urgency cues (a countdown or limited-time wording).

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.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Microsoft Ads and 1 more (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.

Opening the homepage sets 22 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

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.

Loading the homepage contacts 31 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
