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
Improve image delivery
3.1 s · 4.5 MB43 images could be 4.5 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.1 s faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
5.4 s · 902 KiBAbout 902 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 5.4 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.1 s3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.
Mobile performance score: 44
44/100Your mobile performance score is 44 (desktop: 58). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
3,639 HTML elements
The page has 3,639 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Google Tag Manager and Clarity and others), adding 1.8 MB and 843 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
590 ms · 93 KiBAbout 93 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 590 ms faster on a phone.
Google CDN adds 337 ms
337 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 337 ms of main-thread work and 1.1 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.
Main-thread work: 2.8 s
A phone's processor spends 2.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Google Tag Manager adds 237 ms
237 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 237 ms of main-thread work and 318 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.
9 long tasks on the main thread
9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 123 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
50 ms · 72 KiB10 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (72 KiB).
Legacy JavaScript
50 ms · 11 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 11 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 50 ms faster on a phone.
Minify CSS
19 KiB19 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
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.

Server response: 26 ms
26 msYour server sent the HTML in 26 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.
Real-user CLS: 0.40
0.40For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.40 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
Real-user FCP: 3.2 s
3.2 sReal visitors see the first content after 3.2 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
Real-user TTFB: 2.6 s
2.6 sReal visitors wait 2.6 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
Largest Contentful Paint: 24.3 s
24.3 sYour largest element takes 24.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Glass Rinser”.
Time to Interactive: 25.1 s
25.1 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 25.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 9.6 s
9.6 sVisually, the page fills in at 9.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
First Contentful Paint: 4.0 s
4.0 sThe first text or image appears after 4.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Real-user LCP: 3.8 s
3.8 sReal visitors wait 3.8 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.235
0.235The layout shifts by 0.235 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
22 images without width and height
22 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
-1%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 97 ms to 94 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Largest content (LCP) got 10% slower for real visitors
+10%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.7 s to 3.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Real-user INP: 95 ms
95 msReal visitors wait 95 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.
Total Blocking Time: 186 ms
186 msScripts block the page for only 186 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 7.5 MB in 124 requests
7.5 MBYour homepage downloads 7.5 MB in 124 requests on a phone: images 5.1 MB (69), scripts 1.7 MB (19) and other files 368 KiB (24). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image over 500 KB
tafo_logo_lg_1000.jpeg weighs 725 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
9 images far larger than shown
1.0 MB9 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example tafo_logo_lg_1000.jpeg at 1,000 px wide, shown at 150 px. Resized copies would save about 1.0 MB.
21 images in older formats
21 images (2.9 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.
21 images below the first screen load straight away
21 images further down the page (2.7 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 2.1 g of CO₂ per visit
2.13 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.13 g of CO₂e: 256.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
Unlabelled dropdowns
1 dropdown has no label.
8 text elements with low contrast
8 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
2 images without alt text
2 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (56 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 56 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.
Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)
Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
12 form fields without a label
12 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
5 links without text
5 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Hidden but focusable
1 element hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
ARIA input fields do not have accessible names
ARIA input fields do not have accessible names (1 element).
1 checks passed
41 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 41 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
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
No canonical URL
No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.
Meta description is long (186 characters)
Your meta description is 186 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
No XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at https://www.componenthardware.com/en/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
4 links with vague text
4 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
517 internal links, 6 external
The homepage links to 517 pages on componenthardware.com and 6 external pages.
2 checks passed
Title: 55 characters
Your title is a healthy 55 characters: “Component Hardware - Industrial Components & Assemblies”.
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.
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 (1,803 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
2 pages share a title
/en and / all use the title “Component Hardware - Industrial Components & Assemblies”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
5 pages share a meta description
/, /en/compareproducts, /en/wishlist, /en/custom-solutions and /en/blog use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
1 page without an H1
/ has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
9 pages slow to respond
/, /en/compareproducts, /en/wishlist, /en/custom-solutions, /en/our-markets and /en/why-us and 3 others took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 197 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
5 checks passed
Linked pages load
All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.
Canonical URLs point to themselves
No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.
Every page has a meta description
All 14 pages that loaded have a meta description.
No linked page is hidden from search
None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.
Every page has a title
All 14 pages that loaded have a <title>.
Best practices
1 distorted image
1 image is displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so it looks stretched or squashed.
3 checks passed
No console errors
No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.
Tap targets are thumb-sized
245 of 255 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
No HSTS header
No Strict-Transport-Security header, so browsers may still try plain http first on a return visit.
No Content-Security-Policy
No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
No clickjacking protection
Neither X-Frame-Options nor a CSP frame-ancestors policy is set, so any site can embed yours in a frame.
No X-Content-Type-Options
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.
2 redirects before the homepage
Opening https://componenthardware.com goes through 2 redirects before the homepage loads.
1 link through redirect chains
1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://www.componenthardware.com/en/customer/info.
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.
No security.txt
There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.
5 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (componenthardware.com).
Valid certificate (155 days left)
The certificate from DigiCert Inc · GeoTrust TLS RSA CA G1 verifies for componenthardware.com and is valid for another 155 days.
http:// redirects to https
http://componenthardware.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2
The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.
All 46 links work
All 46 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 6 external) answered without errors; 7 did not answer within 5 s.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
componenthardware.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
componenthardware.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 29 years old
29 yearscomponenthardware.com was registered in Mar 1997 through Network Solutions, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Mar 2027
componenthardware.com is registered until Mar 2027.
Content and conversion
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 28 customer or partner logos. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
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 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 1,283 words of copy
The homepage carries about 1,283 words of visible text.

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.mlsend.com include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:spf.usaepay.com -all”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”, “s1” and “s2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
6 trackers load before any consent
6Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and LinkedIn Insight and 1 more (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.
11 cookies set on arrival
