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
3.5 s49 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.5 s.
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.9 s · 424 KiBAbout 424 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.9 s faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
1.2 s · 972 KiB4 images could be 972 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.2 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 56
56/100Your mobile performance score is 56 (desktop: 68). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
7 third-party services on the page
7 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, WordPress Site Stats and Fastest Forward and others), adding 2.8 MB and 227 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 62 KiBAbout 62 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
WordPress adds 0 ms
0 msWordPress costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 2.5 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.
1,888 HTML elements
The page has 1,888 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 172 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
8 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 8 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.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 2.0 s
A phone's processor spends 2.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 821 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 84 ms
84 msYour server sent the HTML in 84 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 6.6 MB in 134 requests
6.6 MBYour homepage downloads 6.6 MB in 134 requests on a phone: images 5.1 MB (29), scripts 931 KiB (45) and fonts 332 KiB (8). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 1.9 g of CO₂ per visit
1.86 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.86 g of CO₂e: 223.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
1 text element with low contrast
1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
3 images without alt text
3 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
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.
Hidden but focusable
1 element hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
Skip links are not focusable.
Skip links are not focusable. (1 element).
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3 and h3 → h5), 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. (9 elements).
1 checks passed
9 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 12 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 9 passed and 3 failed. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is short (27 characters)
Your title is only 27 characters: “Home - Essential Industries”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
2 H1 headlines
There are 2 <h1> headlines (“INNOVATION IS ESSENTIAL” and “Blog Posts”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Meta description is long (221 characters)
Your meta description is 221 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
320 internal links, 13 external
The homepage links to 320 pages on essind.com and 13 external pages.
5 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.essind.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, ImageObject, Organization, WebPage and WebSite.
Open Graph tags complete
Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.
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.essind.com/sitemap_index.xml.
AI search readiness
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.
Organization data: 6 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details.
Other pages
6 pages without a meta description
/product-category/resilient-floor-cleaner, /product-category/resilient-floor-strippers, /product-category/resilient-floor-restorers, /product-category/concrete-and-terrazzo, /product-category/disinfectants and /product-category/food-service have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
6 pages share a meta description
/pfas-nia-products, /the-superbase-concentrate-system, /how-to-buy, /contact, /contact/careers and /shop use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
15 pages slow to respond

Security and trust
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.
1 link through redirect chains
1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://instagram.com/essentialindustriesinc.
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.
6 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (essind.com).
Valid certificate (75 days left)
The certificate from Google Trust Services · WR1 verifies for essind.com and is valid for another 75 days.
HSTS enabled
Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.
http:// redirects to https
http://essind.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2
The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.
All 48 links work
All 48 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 8 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
Domain expires in 81 days
essind.com is registered until Jan 2027. Make sure auto-renew is on and the card on file is current.
No CAA record
essind.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
essind.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.
1 checks passed
Domain is 29 years old
29 yearsessind.com was registered in Jan 1997 through Network Solutions, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
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.
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.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 14 trust badges. 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.
Only about 33 words
The homepage has only about 33 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
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.
4 checks passed
7 calls to action
The homepage has 7 calls to action, for example “How to Buy”, “Contact” and “Contact Us”.
4 short forms
4 short forms (2 fields at most) are right on the homepage.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Analytics.
Opening hours shown
Your opening hours are on the homepage.
Email authentication
No DKIM key on the usual selectors
We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.
Email authentication score: 80/100
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.
2 checks passed
DMARC policy: quarantine
DMARC tells receivers to quarantine 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-us.ppe-hosted.com a mx include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:essentialpolymers.com include:ama…”.
Privacy and tracking
No consent tool detected
No known cookie consent tool loads with the page. Some sites build their own banner, and some only show one to visitors from the EU.
1 checks passed
No known trackers before consent
No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).
