Speed

13 to fix37
  • Render-blocking requests

    3.9 s

    39 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.9 s.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.4 s · 337 KiB

    About 337 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.4 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.2 s · 296 KiB

    17 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (296 KiB).

  • Minify JavaScript

    1.2 s · 240 KiB

    240 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Mobile performance score: 37

    37/100

    Your mobile performance score is 37 (desktop: 26). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • 6,474 HTML elements

    The page has 6,474 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Main-thread work: 6.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 6.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    750 ms · 127 KiB

    About 127 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.

  • 19 long tasks on the main thread

    19 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 682 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Usercentrics CMP, freshworks.com and Feefo.com and others), adding 1.0 MB and 461 ms of main-thread time.

  • Minify CSS

    300 ms · 23 KiB

    23 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Improve image delivery

    280 KiB

    21 images could be 280 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Feefo.com adds 95 ms

    95 ms

    Feefo.com costs a phone 95 ms of main-thread work and 297 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.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    50 ms · 20 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 20 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 50 ms faster on a phone.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • 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: 13 ms

    13 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 13 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

9 to fix100
  • 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.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 21.5 s

    21.5 s

    Your largest element takes 21.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “This site is provided to you by Parts Town UK Limited. We u…”.

  • Time to Interactive: 21.7 s

    21.7 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 21.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 12.3 s

    12.3 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 12.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 4.2 s

    4.2 s

    The first text or image appears after 4.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 915 ms

    915 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 915 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user FCP: 2.2 s

    2.2 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.2 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    Real visitors wait 1.1 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • 52 images without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +4%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 126 ms to 130 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

5 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 2.5 s

    2.5 s

    Real visitors wait 2.5 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 172 ms

    172 ms

    Real visitors wait 172 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.02

    0.02

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.02 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 23% faster for real visitors

    -23%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.9 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).

Images and page weight

1 to fix67
  • Page weight: 3.4 MB in 391 requests

    3.4 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.4 MB in 391 requests on a phone: scripts 1.5 MB (257), images 1.2 MB (62) and fonts 498 KiB (15). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.97 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.97 g of CO₂e: 116.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

5 to fixGoogle 8291
  • 3 images without alt text

    3 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • Unlabelled dropdowns

    3 dropdowns have no label.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (6 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Malformed lists

    Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.

  • Orphan list items

    Some list items are not inside a list.

  • Elements with role="none" or role="presentation" have conflicts

    Elements with role="none" or role="presentation" have conflicts (2 elements).

1 checks passed
  • 32 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 33 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 32 passed and 1 failed. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 8581
  • No H1 headline

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

  • No social preview image

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

  • No XML sitemap

    No XML sitemap at https://www.partstown.co.uk/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

  • 12 links crawlers can't follow

    12 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

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

  • 1,025 internal links, 32 external

    The homepage links to 1,025 pages on firstchoice-cs.co.uk and 32 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Meta description: 109 characters

    Your meta description is 109 characters: “Shop the UK's largest stock of genuine OEM commercial catering equipment spare parts, accessories, chemicals.”.

  • Title: 61 characters

    Your title is a healthy 61 characters: “OEM Catering Parts, Accessories & Consumables | Parts Town UK”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.partstown.co.uk/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: WebPage and WebSite.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place.

AI search readiness

1 to fix83
  • 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.

1 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.

Other pages

3 to fix83
  • 13 pages share a title

    /manufacturers/3m, /manufacturers/adande-refrigeration, /manufacturers/ambach, /manufacturers/b-pro, /manufacturers/blodgett and /manufacturers/comenda and 7 others all use the title “Client Challenge”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 15 pages without a meta description

    /manufacturers, /manufacturers/3m, /manufacturers/adande-refrigeration, /manufacturers/ambach, /manufacturers/b-pro and /manufacturers/blodgett and 9 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 13 pages without an H1

    /manufacturers/3m, /manufacturers/adande-refrigeration, /manufacturers/ambach, /manufacturers/b-pro, /manufacturers/blodgett and /manufacturers/comenda and 7 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 13 pages with very little text

    /manufacturers/3m, /manufacturers/adande-refrigeration, /manufacturers/ambach, /manufacturers/b-pro, /manufacturers/blodgett and /manufacturers/comenda and 7 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 200 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

4 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.

  • 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

2 to fixGoogle 7389
  • Deprecated browser APIs

    The page uses 2 deprecated browser APIs that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).

  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 401 ()”.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Content security policy”).

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

1 to fix94
  • No Content-Security-Policy

    No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • No Permissions-Policy

    No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

  • Deprecated X-XSS-Protection

    X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block, 1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.

  • 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 (partstown.co.uk).

  • Valid certificate (89 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YR2 verifies for firstchoice-cs.co.uk and is valid for another 89 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

    X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.

  • HSTS enabled

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

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://firstchoice-cs.co.uk redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2

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

  • All 52 links work

    All 52 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 12 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    partstown.co.uk 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

    partstown.co.uk'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 13 years old

    13 years

    partstown.co.uk was registered in Jun 2013 through EuroDNS SA. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Jun 2027

    partstown.co.uk is registered until Jun 2027.

Content and conversion

3 to fix78
  • 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.

  • Only about 13 words

    The homepage has only about 13 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • No opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • 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.

6 checks passed
  • 58 calls to action

    The homepage has 58 calls to action, for example “Shop By Manufacturer”, “Shop By Category” and “Contact Grill”.

  • 4 short forms

    4 short forms (4 fields at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 10 testimonial or review blocks, 2 customer or partner logos and 1 trust badge.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and Fathom.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 3 phone links and 2 email links.

  • Phone number on the homepage

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

Email authentication

1 to fix75
  • DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be firstchoice-cs.co.uk is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.

  • Email authentication score: 75/100

    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 with a strict ending (-all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 ip4:51.143.137.105 ip4:82.196.238.200 ip4:168.245.69.132 ip4:87.76.31.50 ip4:89.197.96.166 include:servers.mcsv.…”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “k1”, “s1” and “s2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

  • 1 cookie set on arrival

    1

    Opening the homepage sets 1 cookie (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.

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).
