flangebolts.com website review

Your mobile performance score is 69. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

8 images could be 304 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 100 ms faster on a phone.

About 71 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

Shopify costs a phone 222 ms of main-thread work and 475 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.

A phone's processor spends 2.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 659 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

2 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify and shop.app), adding 522 KiB and 232 ms of main-thread time.

About 33 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 150 ms.

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

2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 116 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Your largest element takes 6.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “heroImagePath-0jjvqy17”.

The page becomes fully interactive after 8.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 6.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

The first text or image appears after 2.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 86 ms to 89 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

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.

Your homepage downloads 2.1 MB in 229 requests on a phone: other files 759 KiB (93), scripts 523 KiB (105) and images 497 KiB (11). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.59 g of CO₂e: 70.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

5 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: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

Headings skip levels (h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

Your title is only 15 characters: “FlangeBolts.com”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

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

Your <h1> is empty.

The homepage links to 30 pages on flangebolts.com and 1 external page.

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

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

https://flangebolts.com/customer_authentication/redirect, https://flangebolts.com/collections, https://flangebolts.com/pages/blog-posts, https://flangebolts.com/pages/contact, https://flangebolts.com/pages/about-us and https://flangebolts.com/policies/terms-of-service and 3 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

https://flangebolts.com/customer_authentication/redirect, https://flangebolts.com/collections and https://flangebolts.com/pages/about-us have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

https://flangebolts.com/customer_authentication/redirect, https://flangebolts.com/collections/metric-flange-bolts, https://flangebolts.com/collections/inch-flange-nuts, https://flangebolts.com/collections/metric-flange-nuts, https://flangebolts.com/policies/terms-of-service and https://flangebolts.com/policies/privacy-policy and 1 other took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

We fetched 13 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

1 image is displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so it looks stretched or squashed.

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 testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

The homepage has only about 239 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

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

Opening the homepage sets 6 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

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.

Loading the homepage contacts 4 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
