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
Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
4.4 s · 481 KiBAbout 481 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.4 s faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
2.4 MB21 images could be 2.4 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Mobile performance score: 52
52/100Your mobile performance score is 52 (desktop: 44). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
900 ms27 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 900 ms.
4 third-party services on the page
4 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, searchiq.co and Other Google APIs/SDKs and others), adding 875 KiB and 662 ms of main-thread time.
Google CDN adds 504 ms
504 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 504 ms of main-thread work and 734 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
450 ms · 104 KiBAbout 104 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.
Main-thread work: 3.4 s
A phone's processor spends 3.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
9 long tasks on the main thread
9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 217 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 2 KiB3 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (2 KiB).
Font display
100 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
8 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 8 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify JavaScript
8 KiB8 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.

Largest Contentful Paint: 26.3 s
26.3 sYour largest element takes 26.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “OUR COMMITMENT IS DELIVERING QUALITY AGGREGATES & CONCRETE”.
Time to Interactive: 27.9 s
27.9 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 27.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 10.9 s

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.011
0.011The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.011, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 7.4 MB in 125 requests
7.4 MBYour homepage downloads 7.4 MB in 125 requests on a phone: images 5.3 MB (44), scripts 1.1 MB (36) and fonts 461 KiB (8). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
3 images in older formats
3 images (120 KiB) are JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.
4 images below the first screen load straight away
4 images further down the page (147 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 2.1 g of CO₂ per visit
2.10 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.10 g of CO₂e: 252.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
23 text elements with low contrast
23 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Links must have discernible text (6 elements)
Links must have discernible text: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
4 tap targets too small
4 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (13 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 13 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
4 form fields without a label
4 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (2 elements)
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 34 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
39 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 46 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 39 passed and 7 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (66 characters)
Your title is 66 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “State of the Art Source for Ready-Mix Concrete | Concrete Supplier”.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
7 links crawlers can't follow
7 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
5 links with vague text
5 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
197 internal links, 17 external
The homepage links to 197 pages on cemstone.com and 17 external pages.
6 checks passed
Meta description: 139 characters
Your meta description is 139 characters: “Cemstone supplies the widest range of ready-mix concrete, concrete products, concrete pumps, and aggregates for contrac…”.
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Our Commitment is Delivering Quality Aggregates & Concrete”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://cemstone.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, ImageObject, WebPage and WebSite.
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://cemstone.com/sitemap_index.xml.
AI search readiness
No Organization structured data
There is no Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants have no machine-readable facts about who runs the site: its name, logo, profiles and contact details.
No llms.txt
There is no /llms.txt, a short Markdown guide to your key pages for AI tools (llmstxt.org). It is optional and few AI tools read it yet, so treat it as a cheap extra.
2 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 (1,653 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
4 pages without a meta description
/concrete/ready-mix-concrete/resolve-concrete-fiber-reinforcement, /concrete/ready-mix-concrete/concrete-pavements-pave-ahead, /concrete/ready-mix-concrete/curing-and-sealing-concrete and /concrete/precast/bunker-block have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

5 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
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.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 2 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
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 993 words of copy
The homepage carries about 993 words of visible text.
5 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “ORDER NOW” and “SHOP CEMSTONE SUPPLY”.
17 calls to action

2 short forms
2 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.
Direct contact links
Visitors can reach you directly: 22 phone links and 0 email links.
Phone number on the homepage
Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.
Privacy and tracking
3 cookies set on arrival
3Opening the homepage sets 3 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
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.
6 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 6 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
1 checks passed
No known trackers before consent
No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).
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 cemstone.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
