Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
3.1 s · 838 KiBAbout 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 s21 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.6 s.
Mobile performance score: 27
27/100Your 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 MB18 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 msGoogle 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 KiBAbout 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 msShopify 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 mschatway.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 KiB11 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (130 KiB).
Font display
50 msWeb 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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 6.4 MB in 420 requests
6.4 MBYour 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 MB4 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 gBy 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
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
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
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
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.

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

19 cookies set on arrival
19Opening the homepage sets 19 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).
