ceramictechnics.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.

Speed

5 to fix40
  • Improve image delivery

    64.5 s · 28.3 MB

    15 images could be 28.3 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 64.5 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    44.9 s · 26.5 MB

    26 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (26.5 MB).

  • Mobile performance score: 40

    40/100

    Your mobile performance score is 40 (desktop: 43). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Render-blocking requests

    650 ms

    5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 650 ms.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    300 ms · 26 KiB

    About 26 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 15 KiB

    About 15 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 1 long task on the main thread

    1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 73 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • Legacy JavaScript

    24 KiB

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

  • 3 third-party services on the page

    3 third-party services load with your homepage (Cloudflare, elfsight.com and Adobe TypeKit), adding 43 KiB and 15 ms of main-thread time.

  • 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: 0.9 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 447 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 1 ms

    1 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 1 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

9 to fix0
  • 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.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.99

    0.99

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.99 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 71.3 s

    71.3 s

    Your largest element takes 71.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 71.3 s

    71.3 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 71.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.64

    0.64

    The layout shifts by 0.64 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • 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.

  • Speed Index: 6.3 s

    6.3 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 6.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Real-user LCP: 2.7 s

    2.7 s

    Real visitors wait 2.7 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • 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) got 11% slower for real visitors

    +11%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 104 ms to 114 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 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.8 s to 2.6 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

2 checks passed
  • Real-user FCP: 1.3 s

    1.3 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.3 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 23 ms

    23 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 23 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

4 to fix25
  • Page weight: 39.8 MB in 77 requests

    39.8 MB

    Your homepage downloads 39.8 MB in 77 requests on a phone: images 39.0 MB (23), scripts 465 KiB (24) and other files 278 KiB (23). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 10 images over 500 KB

    10 images weigh 36.5 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 12 images far larger than shown

    24.9 MB

    12 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example LIVING_WhiteCarrera_SpinaChevron_08x24_BladeDown-3.png at 2,560 px wide, shown at 162 px. Resized copies would save about 24.9 MB.

  • 21 images in older formats

    21 images (39.0 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.

  • 1 image below the first screen load straight away

    1 image further down the page (207 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 11.3 g of CO₂ per visit

    11.27 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 11.27 g of CO₂e: 1352.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

4 to fixGoogle 9694
  • 4 text elements with low contrast

    4 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • Interactive controls must not be nested (1 element)

    Interactive controls must not be nested: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 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.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 1 image in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 42 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: 42 passed and 4 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

7 to fixGoogle 9268
  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • Title is short (19 characters)

    Your title is only 19 characters: “Home | Stone Source”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • Meta description is long (256 characters)

    Your meta description is 256 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.

  • Only 1 internal link

    The homepage links to only 1 page on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.

  • 2 links with vague text

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

3 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://stonesource.com/.

  • 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.stonesource.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

2 to fix63
  • Most text only appears after JavaScript runs

    16%

    A phone browser shows 306 words, but the HTML your server sends has only 48. 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.

  • 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.

1 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.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “eapps.Platform throws: "Widget "35057f13-46b8-448b-824b-e068745aabb7" can`t be initialized because WIDGET_NOT_FOUND" wi…”.

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    93 of 96 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

100
  • No security.txt

    There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

8 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (stonesource.com).

  • Valid certificate (89 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for ceramictechnics.com and is valid for another 89 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

    X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.

  • Content-Security-Policy set

    A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • HSTS enabled

    Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://ceramictechnics.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2

    The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.

  • All 5 links work

    All 5 links checked from your homepage (1 internal, 4 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    stonesource.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.

3 checks passed
  • Domain is 30 years old

    30 years

    stonesource.com was registered in Dec 1995 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • DNSSEC is on

    stonesource.com's DNS answers are signed (DNSSEC), so they can't be forged on the way to visitors.

  • Registered until Dec 2028

    stonesource.com is registered until Dec 2028.

Content and conversion

2 to fix70
  • 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 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 form on the homepage

    There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

  • 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 306 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 306 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: “Learn more”.

  • 4 calls to action

    The homepage has 4 calls to action, for example “Sign up” and “Subscribe”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Cloudflare Web Analytics.

Email authentication

85
  • Email authentication score: 85/100

    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: quarantine

    DMARC tells receivers to quarantine mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.

  • SPF in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:_spf.salesforce.com ~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

  • 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).

Upkeep, stack and company
