Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
4.1 s · 991 KiBAbout 991 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.1 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 28
28/100Your mobile performance score is 28. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 6.1 s
A phone's processor spends 6.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.7 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 (Google Tag Manager, Shopify and Facebook and others), adding 2.1 MB and 1.2 s of main-thread time.
Google Tag Manager adds 382 ms
382 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 382 ms of main-thread work and 348 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.
Shopify adds 295 ms
295 msShopify costs a phone 295 ms of main-thread work and 1.2 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.
Render-blocking requests
350 ms4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 350 ms.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
296 KiB11 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (296 KiB).
Facebook adds 258 ms
258 msFacebook costs a phone 258 ms of main-thread work and 271 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.
15 long tasks on the main thread
15 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 258 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
1,934 HTML elements
The page has 1,934 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 60 KiBAbout 60 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.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 58 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 58 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
44 KiB1 image could be 44 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
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.
Minify JavaScript
4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.8 MB in 285 requests
4.8 MBYour homepage downloads 4.8 MB in 285 requests on a phone: scripts 2.4 MB (67), other files 1.0 MB (169) and images 793 KiB (26). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image far larger than shown
47 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example [email protected] at 600 px wide, shown at 64 px. Resized copies would save about 47 KiB.
1 image in older formats
1 image (136 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.
About 1.4 g of CO₂ per visit
1.35 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.35 g of CO₂e: 162.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Accessibility
7 tap targets too small
7 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
Interactive controls must not be nested (1 element)
Interactive controls must not be nested: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
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.
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 and h4 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 58 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
54 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 59 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 54 passed and 5 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (66 characters)
Your title is 66 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Australian Performance Boxes | 4x4 Storage Solutions & Accessories”.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
5 links crawlers can't follow
5 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
One H1 headline
Your <h1> is empty.
169 internal links, 9 external
The homepage links to 169 pages on apboxes.com.au and 9 external pages.
5 checks passed
Meta description: 144 characters
Your meta description is 144 characters: “Find high-quality storage solutions for 4x4s and utes at Australian Performance Boxes. Explore 4x4 accessories, storage…”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://apboxes.com.au/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: LocalBusiness, Organization, ProductGroup 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://apboxes.com.au/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
4 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: 5 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles) and contact details; description would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (2,040 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
1 page without a meta description
/collections/all 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 /collections/apb-apparel, whose canonical is /collections/merchandise. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

Security and trust
Short HSTS lifetime

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.
Deprecated X-XSS-Protection
X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.
No security.txt

7 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (apboxes.com.au).
Valid certificate (50 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE2 verifies for apboxes.com.au and is valid for another 50 days.
Protected from clickjacking
X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.
Content-Security-Policy set

apboxes.com.au 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.
Content and conversion
No phone number on the homepage
A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.
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.
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 1,291 words of copy
The homepage carries about 1,291 words of visible text.
