One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Render-blocking requests
1.8 s4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.8 s.
Mobile performance score: 67
67/100Your 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 msGoogle 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 KiBAbout 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 msraffle.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 msAdobe 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 KiB5 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (170 KiB).
Improve image delivery
125 KiB7 images could be 125 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Legacy JavaScript
24 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 24 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Reduce unused CSS
15 KiBAbout 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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.3 MB in 66 requests
3.3 MBYour 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 gBy 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.

AI search readiness
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

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

Content and conversion
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

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.
