Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
3.4 s · 507 KiBAbout 507 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.4 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
2.5 s4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.5 s.
Mobile performance score: 44
44/100Your mobile performance score is 44 (desktop: 59). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Improve image delivery
300 ms · 2.9 MB18 images could be 2.9 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, website-files.com and Google Optimize and others), adding 15.8 MB and 831 ms of main-thread time.
website-files.com adds 203 ms
203 mswebsite-files.com costs a phone 203 ms of main-thread work and 15.2 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
900 ms · 115 KiB9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (115 KiB).
Legacy JavaScript
300 ms · 15 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 15 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
11 long tasks on the main thread
11 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 312 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Google Tag Manager adds 260 ms
260 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 260 ms of main-thread work and 310 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.
Main-thread work: 2.6 s
A phone's processor spends 2.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Font display
100 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).
Reduce unused CSS
25 KiBAbout 25 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.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.
Minify CSS
5 KiB5 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

First Contentful Paint: 4.4 s

Total Blocking Time: 735 ms

Speed Index: 5.6 s
5.6 sVisually, the page fills in at 5.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
3 images without width and height
3 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 16.5 MB in 123 requests
16.5 MBYour homepage downloads 16.5 MB in 123 requests on a phone: images 15.1 MB (51), scripts 1.2 MB (29) and fonts 171 KiB (13). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 4.7 g of CO₂ per visit
4.68 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 4.68 g of CO₂e: 561.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
2 text elements with low contrast
2 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (34 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 34 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 (2 elements)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 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.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
6 form fields without a label
6 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3, h2 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 66 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
35 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 41 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 35 passed and 6 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 (82 characters)
Your title is 82 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “CMI - Sheet Piling and Aluminum Fabrication for Commercial & Residential Solutions”.
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 (179 characters)
Your meta description is 179 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.
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.
156 internal links, 8 external
The homepage links to 156 pages on cmilc.com and 8 external pages.
4 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Sustainable Solutions”.

XML sitemap found

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 (984 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
