Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.8 MB
4.8 MBYour homepage downloads 4.8 MB on a phone, 2.6 MB of it images (53%). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
7 images in older formats
7 images (900 KiB) 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.
4 images below the first screen load straight away
4 images further down the page (82 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.4 g of CO₂ per visit
1.36 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.36 g of CO₂e: 163.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

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

Interactive controls must not be nested (2 elements)

1 image without alt text
1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
Document should not have more than one banner landmark (1 element)

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.

1 checks passed
53 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 65 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 53 passed and 12 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
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 (also missing: og:title, og:description), 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.
232 internal links, 11 external
The homepage links to 232 pages on fcxperformance.com and 11 external pages.

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.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (541 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
9 pages without a meta description
/catalogsearch/advanced, /products/valves-and-automation, /products/instrumentation-and-monitoring, /products/steam-and-heat, /products/steam-and-heat/steam-and-heat-as-power and /products/steam-and-heat/clean-steam and 3 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

HSTS enabled
