Core Web Vitals

Images and page weight
Page weight: 6.9 MB
6.9 MBYour homepage downloads 6.9 MB on a phone, 5.2 MB of it images (74%). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
4 images in older formats
4 images (739 KiB) 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.
3 images far larger than shown
315 KiB3 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example image_2021-11-02_090641.png at 1,158 px wide, shown at 360 px. Resized copies would save about 315 KiB.
3 images below the first screen load straight away
3 images further down the page (281 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 2.0 g of CO₂ per visit
1.97 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.97 g of CO₂e: 236.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
1 button without a name
1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
13 text elements with low contrast
13 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (13 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 13 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Document should not have more than one banner landmark (1 element)
Document should not have more than one banner landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
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.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h3 → h5 and h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 11 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
28 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 35 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 28 passed and 7 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
38 internal links, 15 external
The homepage links to 38 pages on arcsolinc.com and 15 external pages.
7 checks passed

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.
No llms.txt
There is no /llms.txt, a short Markdown guide to your key pages for AI tools (llmstxt.org). It is optional and few AI tools read it yet, so treat it as a cheap extra.
2 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 (523 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
3 pages slow to respond
/cutting-automation/hypertherm-plasma-cutting, /about and /about/about-us took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.
15 internal pages checked

Best practices

No console errors
No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.
Tap targets are thumb-sized
13 of 13 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 43 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
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 474 words of copy
The homepage carries about 474 words of visible text.
5 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Shop Online” and “LET'S GET STARTED”.

Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and Meta Pixel.
Direct contact links

Phone number on the homepage

Privacy and tracking
4 trackers load before any consent
4Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Meta Pixel (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.
5 cookies set on arrival
5Opening the homepage sets 5 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.
10 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 10 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 arcsolinc.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
