Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.

One score from every part of this review. How it works

Live view · interaction off

Speed

10 to fix80
  • Render-blocking requests

    2.3 s

    16 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.3 s.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    150 ms · 1.4 MB

    About 1.4 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 80

    80/100

    Your mobile performance score is 80. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Cookiebot, Cloudflare CDN and d41.co and others), adding 820 KiB and 576 ms of main-thread time.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    450 ms · 100 KiB

    6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (100 KiB).

  • Cookiebot adds 442 ms

    442 ms

    Cookiebot costs a phone 442 ms of main-thread work and 157 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.

  • Improve image delivery

    454 KiB

    6 images could be 454 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • 2,831 HTML elements

    The page has 2,831 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Main-thread work: 2.3 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 988 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 0 ms

    0 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 309 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

    150 ms · 197 KiB

    About 197 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.

  • Font display

    200 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 200 ms).

  • 5 long tasks on the main thread

    5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 120 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    31 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 31 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • 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 CSS

    2 KiB

    2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 16 ms

    16 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 16 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

7 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.

  • Time to Interactive: 34.3 s

    34.3 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 34.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 3.3 s

    3.3 s

    The first text or image appears after 3.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user LCP: 2.6 s

    2.6 s

    Real visitors wait 2.6 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Speed Index: 5.6 s

    5.6 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 3.3 s

    3.3 s

    Your largest element takes 3.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “We use cookies to personalise content and ads, to provide s…”. Most of its time is element render delay (2.3 s).

  • 3 images without width and height

    3 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +5%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 91 ms to 96 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 16% slower for real visitors

    +16%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.2 s to 3.7 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

6 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 102 ms

    102 ms

    Real visitors wait 102 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.3 s

    1.3 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.3 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 784 ms

    784 ms

    Real visitors wait 784 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Total Blocking Time: 154 ms

    154 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 154 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

4 to fix38
  • Page weight: 20.9 MB in 222 requests

    20.9 MB

    Your homepage downloads 20.9 MB in 222 requests on a phone: media 11.6 MB (4), images 5.9 MB (25) and scripts 3.1 MB (169). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 3 images over 500 KB

    3 images weigh 4.6 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 3 images far larger than shown

    330 KiB

    3 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example Section4-Corrosion.webp at 1,200 px wide, shown at 98 px. Resized copies would save about 330 KiB.

  • 6 images below the first screen load straight away

    6 images further down the page (465 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 5.9 g of CO₂ per visit

    5.92 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 5.92 g of CO₂e: 710.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

Accessibility

5 to fixGoogle 8992
  • Unlabelled dropdowns

    1 dropdown has no label.

  • 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.

  • 3 images without alt text

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 18 links without text

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

1 checks passed
  • 47 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 51 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 4 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

Google 100100
  • 158 internal links, 6 external

    The homepage links to 158 pages on atslab.com and 6 external pages.

8 checks passed
  • Meta description: 140 characters

    Your meta description is 140 characters: “Applied Technical Services (ATS), a leading TIC provider, has the array of qualifications and expertise to meet your ne…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “When you need to be sure.”.

  • Title: 61 characters

    Your title is a healthy 61 characters: “Applied Technical Services (ATS) - Applied Technical Services”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://atslab.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, ImageObject, Organization, WebPage and WebSite.

  • 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.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://atslab.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

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 (2,385 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (195 KiB, 1,809 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 8 pages without a meta description

    /solutions, /calibration, /engineering, /forensics, /inspection and /testing-and-analysis and 2 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 6 links to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 6 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example /calibration, whose canonical is /calibration/%EF%BF%BDtegory%. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 1 page slow to respond

    /training/reliability took over 3 s to send its HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 141 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
  • 4 small tap targets

    4 of 11 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 6 JavaScript errors while loading

    6 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

1 to fix93
  • No Content-Security-Policy

    No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • No clickjacking protection

    Neither X-Frame-Options nor a CSP frame-ancestors policy is set, so any site can embed yours in a frame.

  • No X-Content-Type-Options

    X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.

  • No Referrer-Policy

    No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

  • No security.txt

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

6 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (atslab.com).

  • Valid certificate (70 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for atslab.com and is valid for another 70 days.

  • HSTS enabled

    Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://atslab.com 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 46 links work

    All 46 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 6 external) answered without errors; 10 did not answer within 5 s.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    atslab.com 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.

  • DNSSEC is off

    atslab.com's DNS answers are not signed. DNSSEC stops attackers forging them to send visitors or email elsewhere; most registrars switch it on in a click, though most sites still run without it.

2 checks passed
  • Domain is 30 years old

    30 years

    atslab.com was registered in Aug 1996 through Network Solutions, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Aug 2034

    atslab.com is registered until Aug 2034.

Content and conversion

3 to fix67
  • 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: 1 testimonial or review block. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • A 44-field form

    Your longest form asks for 44 fields (21 required). Every extra field lowers completion.

  • 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 532 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 532 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • 5 calls to action

    The homepage has 5 calls to action, for example “Contact Us”, “Learn More about SGS” and “Sign Up Today”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and Hotjar.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 3 phone links and 0 email links.

Email authentication

100
  • Email authentication score: 100/100

    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.

3 checks passed
  • DMARC policy: reject

    DMARC tells receivers to reject mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.

  • SPF with a strict ending (-all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 ip4:12.45.79.2 include:us._netblocks.mimecast.com include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:marketing.dynamics.…”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”, “s1” and “s2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

  • 1 tracker load before any consent

    1

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Tag Manager (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (Cookiebot) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 1 cookie set on arrival

    1

    Opening the homepage sets 1 cookie (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 14 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 14 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: Cookiebot

    A consent management tool (Cookiebot) loads with the page.
