Speed

11 to fix52
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.7 s · 536 KiB

    About 536 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.7 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 52

    52/100

    Your mobile performance score is 52. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    450 ms · 200 KiB

    About 200 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • 5 long tasks on the main thread

    5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 563 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 7 third-party services on the page

    7 third-party services load with your homepage (vitals.app, Shopify and Klaviyo and others), adding 1.5 MB and 403 ms of main-thread time.

  • Render-blocking requests

    500 ms

    7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 500 ms.

  • Main-thread work: 3.6 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 2,489 HTML elements

    The page has 2,489 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • vitals.app adds 176 ms

    176 ms

    vitals.app costs a phone 176 ms of main-thread work and 534 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.

  • Shopify adds 127 ms

    127 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 127 ms of main-thread work and 554 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.

  • Klaviyo adds 100 ms

    100 ms

    Klaviyo costs a phone 100 ms of main-thread work and 423 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.

  • Improve image delivery

    200 ms · 58 KiB

    3 images could be 58 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 41 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 41 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Minify CSS

    31 KiB

    31 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    10 KiB

    5 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (10 KiB).

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 9 ms

    9 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 9 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix51
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 16.5 s

    16.5 s

    Your 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 element shown below.

  • Time to Interactive: 16.5 s

    16.5 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 16.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 7.7 s

    7.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 7.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 544 ms

    544 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 544 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.0 s

    2.0 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 3 images without width and height

    3 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.032

    0.032

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.032, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

2 to fix81
  • Page weight: 3.5 MB in 251 requests

    3.5 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.5 MB in 251 requests on a phone: scripts 2.2 MB (111), other files 821 KiB (112) and images 195 KiB (9). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    Untitled_design_copy_53_-High-Quality_1_800x.jpg is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).

  • About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.00 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.00 g of CO₂e: 119.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

6 to fixGoogle 8993
  • 3 tap targets too small

    3 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes (1 element)

    Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious 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.

  • 6 links without text

    6 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (9 elements)

    Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 9 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 36 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 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 6 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 9280
  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • Title is long (70 characters)

    Your title is 70 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “LED Commercial Lighting | Industrial Lighting | Architectural Lighting”.

  • No social preview image

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

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

  • 201 internal links, 1 external

    The homepage links to 201 pages on expertledlighting.com and 1 external page.

5 checks passed
  • Meta description: 134 characters

    Your meta description is 134 characters: “Shop high quality LED lighting fixtures for commercial, residential, industrial and architectural environments. Low pri…”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization, Store and WebSite.

  • 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.expertledlighting.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
4 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: 4 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, description and contact details; logo and sameAs (social profiles) would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,570 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://www.expertledlighting.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

4 to fix68
  • 1 page without a title

    https://www.expertledlighting.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.

  • 1 linked page hidden from search

    https://www.expertledlighting.com/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

  • 10 pages without a meta description

    https://www.expertledlighting.com/pages/shipping-policy, https://www.expertledlighting.com/customer_authentication/redirect, https://www.expertledlighting.com/collections/led-panel, https://www.expertledlighting.com/collections/high-bays, https://www.expertledlighting.com/collections/led-linear-lights and https://www.expertledlighting.com/collections/cylinder-lighting and 4 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 page without an H1

    https://www.expertledlighting.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 83 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

3 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.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 403 ()”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    60 of 74 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

5 to fix56
  • 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.

  • No social proof

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

  • 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 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 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 408 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 408 words of visible text.

  • Urgency cues

    The page uses urgency cues (a countdown or limited-time wording).

3 checks passed
  • 14 calls to action

    The homepage has 14 calls to action, for example “Quick shop”, “Track Order” and “Contact Us”.

  • 3 short forms

    3 short forms (2 fields at most) are right on the homepage.

  • LocalBusiness structured data

    Your homepage describes the business with LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants can read its address, hours and phone reliably.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 4 trackers load before any consent

    4

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Klaviyo (measured from a US location before any click). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.

  • 15 cookies set on arrival

    15

    Opening the homepage sets 15 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 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.

  • 18 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 18 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

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 expertledlighting.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.

Apps on your store

Your storefront loads 8 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.

Apps your storefront loads

Vitals · Pagefly Ai Page Builder · Smart Seo · Klaviyo Email Marketing Sms · Hulk Contact Form Builder · Ordereasy · Essential Post Purchase Upsell · amazonaws.com
