Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
10.6 s · 2.8 MB41 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (2.8 MB).
Improve image delivery
1.6 s · 648 KiB12 images could be 648 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.6 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.3 s9 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.3 s.
Mobile performance score: 21
21/100Your mobile performance score is 21. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 6.5 s
A phone's processor spends 6.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.7 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Google Tag Manager and Hubspot and others), adding 2.6 MB and 2.2 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
940 ms · 1.4 MBAbout 1.4 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 940 ms faster on a phone.
Google CDN adds 978 ms
978 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 978 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.
Google Tag Manager adds 551 ms
551 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 551 ms of main-thread work and 445 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 CSS
470 ms · 78 KiBAbout 78 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 470 ms faster on a phone.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 447 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Hubspot adds 299 ms
299 msHubspot costs a phone 299 ms of main-thread work and 316 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.
Vimeo adds 45 ms
45 msVimeo costs a phone 45 ms of main-thread work and 513 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.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 42 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 42 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
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
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 16.5 s
16.5 sYour largest element takes 16.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “RETAIL MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS Simplify, automate, and thrive …”.
Time to Interactive: 29.7 s
29.7 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 29.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 10.6 s
10.6 sVisually, the page fills in at 10.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Total Blocking Time: 1.5 s
1.5 sScripts block taps and scrolling for 1.5 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.375
0.375The layout shifts by 0.375 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
Not enough real-visitor data yet
Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

First Contentful Paint: 1.7 s
1.7 sThe first text or image appears after 1.7 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 5.8 MB in 107 requests
5.8 MBYour homepage downloads 5.8 MB in 107 requests on a phone: scripts 2.6 MB (35), images 2.3 MB (41) and other files 366 KiB (7). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image over 500 KB
ecrs-front-page-updated-hero-grocery-worker-2025-a7806344.pn weighs 914 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
7 images in older formats
7 images (1.3 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.
6 images below the first screen load straight away
6 images further down the page (385 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
1 image far larger than shown
55 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example logo_harps-deac7b42.png at 1,660 px wide, shown at 310 px. Resized copies would save about 55 KiB.
About 1.6 g of CO₂ per visit
1.65 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.65 g of CO₂e: 197.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
1 button without a name
1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
Unlabelled dropdowns
1 dropdown has no label.
14 text elements with low contrast
14 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
2 tap targets too small
2 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
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.
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.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
20 links without text
20 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h3 → h5, h3 → h5 and h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 52 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
50 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 59 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 9 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

All 41 links work
All 41 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 1 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
DNSSEC is off
ecrs.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.
3 checks passed

26 yearsecrs.com was registered in Jan 2000 through Amazon Registrar, Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Certificate issuers are restricted

Registered until Jan 2028
ecrs.com is registered until Jan 2028.
Content and conversion
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
No phone number on the homepage
A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.
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 opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
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 939 words of copy
The homepage carries about 939 words of visible text.
5 checks passed
