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
Render-blocking requests
6.0 s1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 6.0 s.
Mobile performance score: 44
44/100Your mobile performance score is 44 (desktop: 72). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
7 third-party services on the page
7 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Optanon and Amazon Ads and others), adding 1.9 MB and 863 ms of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
600 ms · 144 KiB1 image could be 144 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.
Google Tag Manager adds 664 ms
664 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 664 ms of main-thread work and 339 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.
Reduce unused JavaScript
300 ms · 220 KiBAbout 220 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.
10 long tasks on the main thread
10 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 315 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Main-thread work: 2.6 s
A phone's processor spends 2.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Google Fonts adds 0 ms
0 msGoogle Fonts costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 1.0 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.
contentstack.io adds 0 ms
0 mscontentstack.io costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 297 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
73 KiB6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (73 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
37 KiBAbout 37 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 72 but mobile only 44. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.
Legacy JavaScript
9 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 9 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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: 6 ms
6 msYour server sent the HTML in 6 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
First Contentful Paint: 7.7 s
7.7 sThe first text or image appears after 7.7 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 10.7 s
10.7 sYour largest element takes 10.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Time to Interactive: 11.4 s
11.4 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 11.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 7.7 s
7.7 sVisually, the page fills in at 7.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Total Blocking Time: 519 ms
519 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 519 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
3 images without width and height
3 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
0%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 113 ms to 112 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.1 MB in 45 requests
2.1 MBYour homepage downloads 2.1 MB in 45 requests on a phone: fonts 1.1 MB (4), scripts 608 KiB (11) and images 321 KiB (8). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image in older formats
1 image (42 KiB) is 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.
About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit
0.61 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.61 g of CO₂e: 73.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
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
1 image without alt text
1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (9 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 9 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).

44 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: 44 passed and 2 failed. 1 more 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.
Title is long (69 characters)
Your title is 69 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Coastal Windows, Doors, and Sunroom Solutions | Custom Window Systems”.
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.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
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.
46 internal links, 6 external
The homepage links to 46 pages on cws.cc and 6 external pages.
3 checks passed
Meta description: 128 characters
Your meta description is 128 characters: “Coastal windows and doors to protect what matters most. Explore windows, doors and sunroom solutions for every performa…”.
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.cws.cc/sitemap.xml.
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 (676 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 27 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
7 checks passed

Best practices
4 small tap targets
4 of 18 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
2 JavaScript errors while loading
2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Minified React error #418; visit https://reactjs.org/docs/error-decoder.html?invariant=418 for the full message or use …”.
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
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.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 14 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
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 618 words of copy
The homepage carries about 618 words of visible text.
1 checks passed
3 calls to action
The homepage has 3 calls to action, for example “Contact Us” and “Service Request Form”.
Privacy and tracking
4 trackers load before any consent
4Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Amazon Ads, Google Ads, Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (OneTrust) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.
5 cookies set on arrival
5Opening the homepage sets 5 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
10 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 10 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
1 checks passed
Consent tool: OneTrust
A consent management tool (OneTrust) loads with the page.
Security, domain, email and software versions
The security, domain and email checks, software and plugin versions, and any app with a known security problem are visible only to people at cws.cc, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
