Speed

11 to fix27
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    3.1 s · 838 KiB

    About 838 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.1 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    2.6 s

    21 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.6 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 27

    27/100

    Your mobile performance score is 27. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 4.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 4.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Improve image delivery

    400 ms · 1.4 MB

    18 images could be 1.4 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 400 ms faster on a phone.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Shopify and chatway.app and others), adding 2.1 MB and 1.2 s of main-thread time.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 502 ms

    502 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 502 ms of main-thread work and 748 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.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    300 ms · 120 KiB

    About 120 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Shopify adds 327 ms

    327 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 327 ms of main-thread work and 680 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 275 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • chatway.app adds 174 ms

    174 ms

    chatway.app costs a phone 174 ms of main-thread work and 431 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.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    150 ms · 130 KiB

    11 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (130 KiB).

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 12 ms

    12 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 12 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

12 to fix33
  • 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 LCP: 5.3 s

    5.3 s

    Real visitors wait 5.3 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user FCP: 5.1 s

    5.1 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 5.1 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 21.1 s

    21.1 s

    Your largest element takes 21.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 24.9 s

    24.9 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 24.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 12.6 s

    12.6 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 12.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.409

    0.409

    The layout shifts by 0.409 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.11

    0.11

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.11 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 36% slower for real visitors

    +36%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.9 s to 5.3 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Real-user TTFB: 893 ms

    893 ms

    Real visitors wait 893 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Total Blocking Time: 578 ms

    578 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 578 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.8 s

    2.8 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

2 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 107 ms

    107 ms

    Real visitors wait 107 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) got 10% faster for real visitors

    -10%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 118 ms to 105 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight

6 to fix19
  • Page weight: 6.4 MB in 420 requests

    6.4 MB

    Your homepage downloads 6.4 MB in 420 requests on a phone: images 2.5 MB (33), scripts 2.3 MB (126) and other files 1.1 MB (217). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image over 500 KB

    product_in_line-arccaptain_11zon.webp weighs 893 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 4 images far larger than shown

    1.1 MB

    4 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example product_in_line-arccaptain_11zon.webp at 4,971 px wide, shown at 360 px. Resized copies would save about 1.1 MB.

  • 8 images in older formats

    8 images (1.9 MB) are 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.

  • 10 images below the first screen load straight away

    10 images further down the page (1.8 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    welding_machine_wholesale.webp 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).

  • About 1.8 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.82 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.82 g of CO₂e: 218.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

11 to fixGoogle 7685
  • 5 buttons without a name

    5 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • ARIA attributes must conform to valid values (1 element)

    ARIA attributes must conform to valid values: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • 11 text elements with low contrast

    11 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • 5 tap targets too small

    5 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • Scrollable region must have keyboard access (2 elements)

    Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 14 images without alt text

    14 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (3 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark (1 element)

    Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 19 links without text

    19 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • 3 form fields without a label

    3 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 47 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 58 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 11 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

5 to fixGoogle 7783
  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • 6 H1 headlines

    There are 6 <h1> headlines (“Our Advantages”, “Factory Direct” and “Quality Promise”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • Meta description is long (311 characters)

    Your meta description is 311 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 3 links with vague text

    3 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

  • 2 links crawlers can't follow

    2 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

  • 84 internal links, 9 external

    The homepage links to 84 pages on arccaptain.net and 9 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Title: 60 characters

    Your title is a healthy 60 characters: “wholesale welding supplies,welding distributors – Arccaptain”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.arccaptain.net/.

  • Open Graph tags complete

    Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.

  • 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://www.arccaptain.net/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • No Organization structured data

    There is no Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants have no machine-readable facts about who runs the site: its name, logo, profiles and contact details.

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.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (691 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://www.arccaptain.net/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

4 to fix64
  • 1 linked page is broken

    Your homepage links to https://www.arccaptain.net/pages/wishlist, which answers with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop it.

  • 3 pages without a meta description

    https://www.arccaptain.net/collections/welder, https://www.arccaptain.net/collections/laser-welding-mahcine and https://www.arccaptain.net/collections/safety have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 2 pages share a meta description

    https://www.arccaptain.net/products/laser1500 and https://www.arccaptain.net/products/arccaptain-2000w-wholesale-industrial-laser-welding-machine use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 14 pages without an H1

    https://www.arccaptain.net/collections, https://www.arccaptain.net/collections/products, https://www.arccaptain.net/collections/welder, https://www.arccaptain.net/collections/mig-welding-machine, https://www.arccaptain.net/collections/plasma-cutters and https://www.arccaptain.net/collections/wholesale-tig-welder and 8 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 55 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

4 checks passed
  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 14 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 8887
  • 8 small tap targets

    8 of 21 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to find a valid digest in the 'integrity' attribute for resource 'https://www.arccaptain.net/cdn/shop/t/22/asset…”.

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

  • 1 low-resolution image

    1 image is served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.

  • Requests the notification permission on page load

    Requests the notification permission on page load.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix75
  • No call to action on the first screen

    On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 2 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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 605 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 605 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • 5 calls to action

    The homepage has 5 calls to action, for example “Order special instructions”, “Contact us” and “Where To Buy”.

  • 3 short forms

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

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 0 phone links and 2 email links.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

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

  • 19 cookies set on arrival

    19

    Opening the homepage sets 19 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (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.

  • 27 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 27 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Security, domain, email and software versions

The security, domain and email checks, software and plugin versions, and any app with a known security problem are visible only to people at arccaptain.net, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
