centralcomputer.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
4.8 s · 1.7 MBAbout 1.7 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.8 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
2.5 s12 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.5 s.
Minify JavaScript
1.6 s · 278 KiB278 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Reduce unused CSS
1.5 s · 169 KiBAbout 169 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.5 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.2 s · 393 KiB20 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (393 KiB).
Mobile performance score: 43
43/100Your mobile performance score is 43 (desktop: 34). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 7.5 s
A phone's processor spends 7.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.9 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
5,366 HTML elements
The page has 5,366 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Improve image delivery
750 ms · 4.4 MB61 images could be 4.4 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Facebook and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 2.4 MB and 1.3 s of main-thread time.
Google CDN adds 425 ms
425 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 425 ms of main-thread work and 1.5 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 Tag Manager adds 150 ms
150 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 150 ms of main-thread work and 361 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.
Legacy JavaScript
250 ms · 56 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 56 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 250 ms faster on a phone.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 197 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Duplicated JavaScript
50 ms · 11 KiB11 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles. Google estimates it would make the page about 50 ms faster on a phone.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
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.

Server response: 72 ms
72 msYour server sent the HTML in 72 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
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.
Largest Contentful Paint: 41.9 s
41.9 sYour largest element takes 41.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “nvidia_rtx_spark_preorder”.
Speed Index: 18.7 s
18.7 sVisually, the page fills in at 18.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Time to Interactive: 59.2 s
59.2 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 59.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
First Contentful Paint: 5.4 s
5.4 sThe first text or image appears after 5.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Real-user CLS: 0.16
0.16For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.16 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
Real-user TTFB: 842 ms
842 msReal visitors wait 842 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
Total Blocking Time: 379 ms
379 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 379 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.11
0.11The layout shifts by 0.11 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
12 images without width and height
12 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) got 14% slower for real visitors
+14%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 121 ms to 138 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
Page weight: 14.3 MB in 526 requests
14.3 MBYour homepage downloads 14.3 MB in 526 requests on a phone: images 7.9 MB (109), scripts 4.5 MB (326) and other files 1.1 MB (63). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
2 images over 500 KB
2 images weigh 1.3 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
12 images far larger than shown
1.0 MB12 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example web_banner_rtx_spark_shop_now.jpg at 2,459 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 1.0 MB.
40 images in older formats
40 images (6.3 MB) 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.
6 images below the first screen load straight away
6 images further down the page (730 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 4.1 g of CO₂ per visit
4.05 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 4.05 g of CO₂e: 486.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children (1 element)
Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.
Interactive controls must not be nested (3 elements)
Interactive controls must not be nested: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name (1 element)
ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
Malformed lists
Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.
6 images without alt text
6 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (3 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
6 form fields without a label
6 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
2 links without text
2 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
1 tap target too small
1 tap target is too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (1 element)
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
1 checks passed
53 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 60 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 53 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
Meta description is long (165 characters)
Your meta description is 165 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
4 links crawlers can't follow
4 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
1 link with vague text
1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

AI search readiness
No llms.txt

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 description; contact details would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (2,808 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
2 pages slow to respond
/all-products.html and /all-products/cables.html took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

2 low-resolution images
2 images are served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.
2 checks passed
Tap targets are thumb-sized
29 of 34 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
No Content-Security-Policy
No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
No Referrer-Policy
No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.
No Permissions-Policy
No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.
Deprecated X-XSS-Protection
X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.
No security.txt
There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.
7 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (centralcomputer.com).
Valid certificate (42 days left)
The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for centralcomputer.com and is valid for another 42 days.
Protected from clickjacking
X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.
HSTS enabled
Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.
http:// redirects to https

HTTP/2
The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.
All 50 links work
All 50 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 10 external) answered without errors; 1 did not answer within 5 s.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
centralcomputer.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
centralcomputer.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
Domain is 31 years old
31 yearscentralcomputer.com was registered in Sep 1995 through Network Solutions, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Sep 2027
centralcomputer.com is registered until Sep 2027.
Content and conversion
No call to action on the first screen
On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
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.
Only about 154 words
The homepage has only about 154 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
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.
4 checks passed
2 calls to action
The homepage has 2 calls to action, for example “Subscribe” and “Contact Us”.
6 short forms
6 short forms (6 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, Microsoft Clarity and Hotjar.
LocalBusiness structured data
Your homepage describes the business with LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants can read its address, hours and phone reliably.
Email authentication
Email authentication score: 100/100
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.
3 checks passed
DMARC policy: reject
DMARC tells receivers to reject mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.
SPF with a strict ending (-all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:spf.smtp2go.com include:zcsend.net include:mailgun.org -all”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”, “selector2” and “s1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
9 trackers load before any consent
9Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and Klaviyo and 4 mores (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.
25 cookies set on arrival
25Opening the homepage sets 25 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.
39 other companies contacted
