Speed
Render-blocking requests
13.1 s1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 13.1 s.
Main-thread work: 10.4 s
A phone's processor spends 10.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 6.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Mobile performance score: 26
26/100Your mobile performance score is 26 (desktop: 61). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Reduce unused JavaScript
450 ms · 1.6 MBAbout 1.6 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
7 third-party services on the page
7 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Vimeo and Optanon and others), adding 4.1 MB and 1.6 s of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
950 ms · 751 KiB14 images could be 751 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 950 ms faster on a phone.
Vimeo adds 443 ms
443 msVimeo costs a phone 443 ms of main-thread work and 3.1 MB 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.
Google CDN adds 582 ms
582 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 582 ms of main-thread work and 762 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.
Optanon adds 415 ms
415 msOptanon costs a phone 415 ms of main-thread work and 197 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.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 381 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
1,876 HTML elements
The page has 1,876 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
209 KiB17 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (209 KiB).
Font display
100 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).
Reduce unused CSS
77 KiBAbout 77 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Legacy JavaScript
34 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 34 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 61 but mobile only 26. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.
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: 9.6 MB in 121 requests
9.6 MBYour homepage downloads 9.6 MB in 121 requests on a phone: scripts 2.9 MB (29), fonts 2.6 MB (9) and images 1.9 MB (40). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
27 images below the first screen load straight away
27 images further down the page (1.6 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
2 images far larger than shown
170 KiB2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example bruno-stairlifts-bruce-irene.webp at 1,920 px wide, shown at 326 px. Resized copies would save about 170 KiB.
About 2.7 g of CO₂ per visit
2.71 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.71 g of CO₂e: 325.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (2 elements)

Banner landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 1 element on the page fails 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.
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. (1 element).

Every image has alt text
All 32 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
46 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 49 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 3 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Structured data has 2 problems
Structured data found (Corporation and Product) but with 2 problems, for example “Corporation: missing name”.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.
64 internal links, 3 external
The homepage links to 64 pages on bruno.com and 3 external pages.
7 checks passed
Meta description: 158 characters
Your meta description is 158 characters: “Bruno a veteran-founded, family-owned accessibility products company delivering the highest quality stairlifts, scooter…”.
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Bruno Independent Living Aids”.
Title: 55 characters
Your title is a healthy 55 characters: “Bruno® Independent Living Aids, Inc. | Make Life Easier”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.bruno.com/.
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.bruno.com/sitemap_index.xml.
AI search readiness
4 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.
Organization data: 5 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives url, logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details; name would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (385 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (12 KiB, 59 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
2 pages share a title
/stairlifts and /stair-lifts all use the title “Bruno® Stairlifts | Made in USA”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
1 page without a meta description
/privacy-policy has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
2 pages share a meta description
/stairlifts and /stair-lifts use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
1 link to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example /stair-lifts, whose canonical is /stairlifts. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

Security and trust
Short HSTS lifetime
HSTS is set, but max-age is 30 days; one year is the recommended minimum.
No X-Content-Type-Options

No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No map or directions link
