Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
4.1 s · 748 KiBAbout 748 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.1 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
2.3 s · 996 KiB32 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (996 KiB).
Render-blocking requests
2.3 s11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.3 s.
Improve image delivery
2.6 MB8 images could be 2.6 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Mobile performance score: 55
55/100Your mobile performance score is 55 (desktop: 91). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Facebook and Hubspot and others), adding 1.8 MB and 806 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
770 ms · 104 KiBAbout 104 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 770 ms faster on a phone.
Google Tag Manager adds 472 ms
472 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 472 ms of main-thread work and 682 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.
getrara.ai adds 10 ms
10 msgetrara.ai costs a phone 10 ms of main-thread work and 583 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.
8 long tasks on the main thread
8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 183 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 26 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 26 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Minify JavaScript
150 ms · 5 KiB5 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 91 but mobile only 55. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.
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.

Main-thread work: 1.8 s
A phone's processor spends 1.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 914 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 4 ms

Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 17.9 s
17.9 sYour largest element takes 17.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Bright living room with dog on rug over Empower laminate fl…”.

Speed Index: 9.0 s
9.0 sVisually, the page fills in at 9.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Tap response (INP) got 26% slower for real visitors
+26%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 138 ms to 172 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
16 images without width and height
16 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Largest content (LCP) got 10% slower for real visitors
+10%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.4 s to 1.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
Page weight: 5.0 MB in 122 requests
5.0 MBYour homepage downloads 5.0 MB in 122 requests on a phone: images 3.1 MB (40), scripts 1.5 MB (40) and fonts 150 KiB (4). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image over 500 KB
DLVT_Layer_Animation4-optimized.gif weighs 3.1 MB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
3 images in older formats
3 images (3.4 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.
1 image far larger than shown
225 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example lens.png at 4,000 px wide, shown at 52 px. Resized copies would save about 225 KiB.
3 images below the first screen load straight away
3 images further down the page (87 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.4 g of CO₂ per visit
1.42 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.42 g of CO₂e: 169.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
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.
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.
4 form fields without a label
4 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (7 elements).
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 25 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
47 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 50 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 3 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
5 links with vague text
5 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 set, so this is minor.
54 internal links, 10 external
The homepage links to 54 pages on engineeredfloors.com and 10 external pages.

AI search readiness
No llms.txt

3 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.
Organization data: 6 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (586 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
5 pages without an H1
/careers, /visualizer, /news, /quiz and /dealer-locator have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
5 pages with very little text
/products/carpet, /products/hard-surface, /visualizer, /news and /dealer-locator have under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.
