3 checks passed

  • Main-thread work: 0.1 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 5 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 1 ms

    1 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 1 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

3 to fix50
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.26

    0.26

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.26 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.8 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.8 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    -8%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 88 ms to 81 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

9 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 2.4 s

  • Real-user TTFB: 418 ms

    418 ms

    Real visitors wait 418 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 16% faster for real visitors

    -16%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.4 s to 2.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

  • First Contentful Paint: 0.8 s

    0.8 s

    The first text or image appears after 0.8 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 0.8 s

    0.8 s

    Your largest element renders in 0.8 s on a phone, inside Google's 2.5 s “good” threshold. The largest element is the text “You’ve been blocked for security reasons”.

  • Speed Index: 0.8 s

    0.8 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 0.8 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.

  • Total Blocking Time: 0 ms

    0 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Time to Interactive: 0.8 s

    0.8 s

    The page is fully interactive after 0.8 s.

Images and page weight

1 to fix90
  • 1 image far larger than shown

    100 KiB

    1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example 80th Logo vector.jpg at 3,000 px wide, shown at 35 px. Resized copies would save about 100 KiB.

  • About 0.00 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.00 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.00 g of CO₂e: 0.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images load when needed

    Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.

  • Page weight: 3 KiB in 1 request

    3 KiB

    Your homepage downloads 3 KiB in 1 request on a phone: HTML 3 KiB (1). That is a lean page.

Accessibility

14 to fixGoogle 9482
  • Invalid ARIA attributes

    2 elements use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.

  • Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children (2 elements)

    Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • ARIA attributes must conform to valid values (2 elements)

    ARIA attributes must conform to valid values: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • 1 button without a name

    1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • Unlabelled dropdowns

    1 dropdown has no label.

  • ARIA input fields must have an accessible name (4 elements)

    ARIA input fields must have an accessible name: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 3 text elements with low contrast

    3 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name (1 element)

    ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • Interactive controls must not be nested (1 element)

    Interactive controls must not be nested: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (3 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 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.

  • 6 form fields without a label

    6 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • 1 link without text

    1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.

  • Elements marked as presentational should be consistently ignored (2 elements)

    Elements marked as presentational should be consistently ignored: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • No main landmark

    The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h3 → h5 and h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 23 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 49 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 63 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 passed and 14 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 8078
  • Error status code

    The page answers with an error status, so search engines may drop it.

  • No structured data

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

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 133 internal links, 26 external

    The homepage links to 133 pages on essltd.com and 26 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 140 characters

    Your meta description is 140 characters: “Equipment Sales & Service Limited is your go-to heavy equipment distributor. One of Canada's largest aftermarket parts …”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “SHOP BY PROVINCES”.

  • Title: 40 characters

    Your title is a healthy 40 characters: “Home - Equipment Sales & Service Limited”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.essltd.com/.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.essltd.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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 (957 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 1 page without a meta description

    /international has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 15 pages without an H1

    /nunavut, /northwest-territories, /new-brunswick, /nova-scotia, /newfoundland and /prince-edward-island and 9 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 pages with very little text

    /nunavut, /northwest-territories, /new-brunswick, /nova-scotia, /newfoundland and /prince-edward-island and 9 others 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.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 48 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 11 small tap targets

    11 of 31 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

2 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

100
  • No clickjacking protection

    Neither X-Frame-Options nor a CSP frame-ancestors policy is set, so any site can embed yours in a frame.

  • 1 link through redirect chains

    1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://mykomatsu.komatsu/.

  • 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.

7 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (essltd.com).

  • Valid certificate (36 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for essltd.com and is valid for another 36 days.

  • Content-Security-Policy set

    A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • HSTS enabled

    Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://essltd.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2 and HTTP/3

    The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.

  • All 56 links work

    All 56 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 16 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    essltd.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

    essltd.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.

2 checks passed
  • Domain is 28 years old

    28 years

    essltd.com was registered in Nov 1997 through BRANDON GRAY INTERNET SERVICES INC. (dba "NameJuice.com"). An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Nov 2027

    essltd.com is registered until Nov 2027.

Content and conversion

1 to fix94
  • 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 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 894 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 894 words of visible text.

7 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “CONTACT” and “LEARN MORE”.

  • 15 calls to action

    The homepage has 15 calls to action, for example “Contact”, “CONTACT” and “Learn More”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 2 customer or partner logos and 23 trust badges.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics and Hotjar.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 11 phone links and 0 email links.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.

Email authentication

1 to fix70
  • DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be essltd.com is still delivered. Add a report address, check the reports, then move to quarantine.

  • Email authentication score: 70/100

    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
  • SPF in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:_spf_uswest2.prod.hydra.sophos.com include:4079460.spf07.hubspotemail…”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “k1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

  • 6 trackers load before any consent

    6

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and HubSpot and 1 more (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (HubSpot cookie banner) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 14 cookies set on arrival

    14

    Opening the homepage sets 14 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 47 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 47 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: HubSpot cookie banner

    A consent management tool (HubSpot cookie banner) loads with the page.

Upkeep, stack and company

  • The footer still says © 2023.
