Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.3 s · 305 KiB23 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (305 KiB).
5,795 HTML elements
The page has 5,795 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Mobile performance score: 67
67/100Your mobile performance score is 67. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
830 ms · 165 KiBAbout 165 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 830 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
900 ms12 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 900 ms.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Optanon, hsappstatic.net and Hubspot and others), adding 865 KiB and 555 ms of main-thread time.
Main-thread work: 2.8 s
A phone's processor spends 2.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Reduce unused CSS
70 ms · 41 KiBAbout 41 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 70 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
86 KiB2 images could be 86 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
4 long tasks on the main thread
4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 58 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
22 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 22 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.
Duplicated JavaScript
3 KiB3 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.5 MB in 205 requests
3.5 MBYour homepage downloads 3.5 MB in 205 requests on a phone: media 1.1 MB (3), other files 821 KiB (102) and scripts 746 KiB (56). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit
0.98 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.98 g of CO₂e: 117.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

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 (972 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://www.corston.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
2 pages share a title
https://www.corston.com/en-us/collections/kew-back-boxes-trims and https://www.corston.com/en-us/collections/grove-back-boxes-trims all use the title “Electrical Boxes | Accessories | Switches & Outlets”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
1 page without a meta description
https://www.corston.com/en-us/pages/kew-grove-explanation-video has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
2 pages share a meta description
https://www.corston.com/en-us/collections/kew-back-boxes-trims and https://www.corston.com/en-us/collections/grove-back-boxes-trims use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
