Speed

9 to fix67
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.8 s

    4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.8 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 67

    67/100

    Your mobile performance score is 67 (desktop: 74). 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 (Google Tag Manager, raffle.ai and cookieinformation.com and others), adding 1.2 MB and 605 ms of main-thread time.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 359 ms

    359 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 359 ms of main-thread work and 384 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 JavaScript

    331 KiB

    About 331 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • 4 long tasks on the main thread

    4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 272 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • raffle.ai adds 195 ms

    195 ms

    raffle.ai costs a phone 195 ms of main-thread work and 409 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.

  • 2,029 HTML elements

    The page has 2,029 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Adobe TypeKit adds 0 ms

    0 ms

    Adobe TypeKit costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 307 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

    170 KiB

    5 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (170 KiB).

  • Improve image delivery

    125 KiB

    7 images could be 125 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    24 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 24 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    15 KiB

    About 15 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.6 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 690 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 123 ms

    123 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 123 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

11 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: 11.8 s

    11.8 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 11.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 3.4 s

    3.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 3.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user INP: 227 ms

    227 ms

    Real visitors wait 227 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user FCP: 2.2 s

    2.2 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.2 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.2 s

    1.2 s

    Real visitors wait 1.2 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Speed Index: 5.8 s

    5.8 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 3.5 s

    3.5 s

    Your largest element takes 3.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.177

    0.177

    The layout shifts by 0.177 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • Total Blocking Time: 236 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 236 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 1 image without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +4%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 205 ms to 216 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -6%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.0 s to 1.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

2 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 2.4 s

    2.4 s

    Real visitors wait 2.4 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.02

    0.02

Images and page weight

2 to fix81
  • Page weight: 3.3 MB in 66 requests

    3.3 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.3 MB in 66 requests on a phone: images 2.1 MB (23), scripts 848 KiB (14) and fonts 353 KiB (5). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    oil-and-gas.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).

  • About 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.94 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.94 g of CO₂e: 113.0 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

7 to fixGoogle 8791
  • Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes (4 elements)

    Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • Links look like plain text

    2 links inside paragraphs rely on colour alone to stand out.

  • 1 text element with low contrast

    1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 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.

  • 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.

  • 15 links without text

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

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 26 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 48 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 55 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 48 passed and 7 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 9289
  • 8 H1 headlines

    There are 8 <h1> headlines (“Blue Water Shipping”, “Blue Water Shipping” and “Blue Water Shipping”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • Structured data has 1 problem

    Structured data found (Organization) but with 1 problem, for example “Organization: logo is not an absolute URL ("/media/zyahcdey/bws-favicon-192-b.svg")”.

  • 13 links with vague text

    13 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

  • 125 internal links, 6 external

    The homepage links to 125 pages on bws.net and 6 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 145 characters

    Your meta description is 145 characters: “If you need any kind of transport, logistics or freight service our experts will create a solution for your market, you…”.

  • Title: 63 characters

    Your title is a healthy 63 characters: “Blue Water Shipping: Transport and logistics services worldwide”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.bws.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.bws.net/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix75
  • Most text only appears after JavaScript runs

    29%

    A phone browser shows 2,542 words, but the HTML your server sends has only 731. GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot read that HTML without running JavaScript, so they see an almost empty page. Server-side rendering or pre-rendering fixes it.

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.

  • Organization data: 5 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles) and contact details; description would complete it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (195 KiB, 0 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

100
  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 71 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

7 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 15 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • 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.

Best practices

Google 100100
3 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    91 of 101 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

4 to fix64
  • No social proof

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

  • 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.

  • No phone number on the homepage

    A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.

  • No direct contact details

    No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

  • 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 2,542 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 2,542 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “CONTACT” and “BOOK YOUR TRANSPORT”.

  • 3 calls to action

    The homepage has 3 calls to action, for example “Contact”, “BOOK YOUR TRANSPORT” and “Try it here”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 2 trackers load before any consent

    2

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (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.

  • 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.

  • 11 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 11 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 bws.net, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
