Speed

11 to fix28
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    4.1 s · 991 KiB

    About 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

    28/100

    Your 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 ms

    Google 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 ms

    Shopify 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 ms

    4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 350 ms.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    296 KiB

    11 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (296 KiB).

  • Facebook adds 258 ms

    258 ms

    Facebook 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 KiB

    About 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 KiB

    Polyfills 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 KiB

    1 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 KiB

    4 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 19 ms

    19 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 19 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

8 to fix67
  • 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.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.27

    0.27

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.27 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 16.4 s

    16.4 s

    Your largest element takes 16.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.

  • Time to Interactive: 22.9 s

    22.9 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 22.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 9.2 s

    9.2 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 9.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 4.6 s

    4.6 s

    The first text or image appears after 4.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 743 ms

    743 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 743 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.23

    0.23

    The layout shifts by 0.23 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • Tap response (INP) got 12% slower for real visitors

    +12%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 104 ms to 112 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -1%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.6 s to 1.6 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

4 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 2.4 s

    2.4 s

    Real visitors wait 2.4 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 127 ms

    127 ms

    Real visitors wait 127 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.4 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 757 ms

    757 ms

    Real visitors wait 757 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

Images and page weight

2 to fix60
  • Page weight: 4.8 MB in 285 requests

    4.8 MB

    Your 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 KiB

    1 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 g

    By 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.

1 checks passed
  • Images load when needed

    Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.

Accessibility

4 to fixGoogle 9395
  • 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

4 to fixGoogle 9283
  • 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

100
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

2 to fix90
  • 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.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 63 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9687
  • 14 small tap targets

    14 of 43 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 3 JavaScript errors while loading

    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 401 ()”.

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

100
  • Short HSTS lifetime

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

  • 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

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

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

    A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://apboxes.com.au redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2 and HTTP/3

    The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.

  • All 47 links work

    All 47 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 7 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    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

2 to fix89
  • 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.

7 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “CONTACT”.

  • 6 calls to action

    The homepage has 6 calls to action, for example “Contact” and “SHOP NOW”.

  • 5 short forms

    5 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 108 testimonial or review blocks and 2 trust badges.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

  • Opening hours shown

    Your opening hours are on the homepage.

  • LocalBusiness structured data

    Your homepage describes the business with LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants can read its address, hours and phone reliably.

Email authentication

2 to fix60
  • DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be apboxes.com.au is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.

  • No DKIM key on the usual selectors

    We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.

  • Email authentication score: 60/100

    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.

1 checks passed
  • SPF in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:dc-aa8e722993._spfm.apboxes.com.au ~all”.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 7 trackers load before any consent

    7

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel and 2 mores (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.

  • 24 cookies set on arrival

    24

    Opening the homepage sets 24 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • No consent tool detected

    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.

  • 36 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 36 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
