Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.1 s · 689 KiBAbout 689 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.1 s4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.
Main-thread work: 7.7 s
A phone's processor spends 7.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
3,976 HTML elements
The page has 3,976 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Klaviyo, Shopify and Affirm and others), adding 2.5 MB and 921 ms of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 64
64/100Your mobile performance score is 64. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused CSS
450 ms · 109 KiBAbout 109 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Klaviyo adds 281 ms
281 msKlaviyo costs a phone 281 ms of main-thread work and 525 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 177 ms
177 msShopify costs a phone 177 ms of main-thread work and 970 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.
tidio.co adds 104 ms
104 mstidio.co costs a phone 104 ms of main-thread work and 515 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 · 244 KiB18 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (244 KiB).
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 68 KiB3 images could be 68 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
17 long tasks on the main thread
17 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 180 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
25 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 25 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify CSS
14 KiB14 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Minify JavaScript
9 KiB9 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
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: 6.3 MB in 597 requests
6.3 MBYour homepage downloads 6.3 MB in 597 requests on a phone: images 2.5 MB (272), scripts 2.2 MB (148) and other files 962 KiB (143). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
Feature-CamWood-HB-Mobile-d01_1.jpg 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).
2 images below the first screen load straight away
2 images further down the page (43 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.8 g of CO₂ per visit
1.78 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.78 g of CO₂e: 214.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
9 tap targets too small
9 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
Hidden but focusable
6 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
4 text elements with low contrast
4 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
ARIA commands must have an accessible name (1 element)
ARIA commands must have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
Frames without titles
1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.
Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)
Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
1 image without alt text
1 image has 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.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (2 elements).
1 checks passed
52 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: 52 passed and 7 failed. 3 mores 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.
6 links with vague text
6 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
122 internal links, 9 external
The homepage links to 122 pages on boxcomponents.com and 9 external pages.

Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (2,173 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
12 pages without a meta description
/collections/bottom-brackets, /collections/cranksets, /collections/drivetrain, /collections/forks, /collections/headsets and /collections/number-plates and 6 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
15 pages without an H1

Security and trust

No Permissions-Policy

Valid certificate (51 days left)

All 47 links work
All 47 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 7 external) answered without errors; 10 did not answer within 5 s.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
boxcomponents.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
boxcomponents.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

Content and conversion

No direct contact details

Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be boxcomponents.com is still delivered. Add a report address, check the reports, then move to quarantine.
Email authentication score: 70/100
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.
