Speed

10 to fix55
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    4.8 s · 907 KiB

    About 907 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.8 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    4.3 s · 893 KiB

    106 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (893 KiB).

  • Render-blocking requests

    3.3 s

    43 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.3 s.

  • Main-thread work: 5.8 s

    A phone's processor spends 5.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Mobile performance score: 55

    55/100

    Your mobile performance score is 55. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • 6 third-party services on the page

    6 third-party services load with your homepage (YouTube, Google Tag Manager and Other Google APIs/SDKs and others), adding 1.7 MB and 779 ms of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    590 ms · 168 KiB

    About 168 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 590 ms faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    600 ms · 86 KiB

    2 images could be 86 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

  • YouTube adds 418 ms

    418 ms

    YouTube costs a phone 418 ms of main-thread work and 1,005 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.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 347 ms

    347 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 347 ms of main-thread work and 493 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.

  • Font display

    250 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 250 ms).

  • Minify JavaScript

    150 ms · 40 KiB

    40 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 14 long tasks on the main thread

    14 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 166 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 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: 104 ms

    104 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 104 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix59
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 18.5 s

    18.5 s

    Your largest element takes 18.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “FURNITURE & REFURBISHMENT INSIDE & OUT”. Most of its time is element render delay (11.6 s).

  • Speed Index: 23.2 s

    23.2 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 23.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 18.6 s

    18.6 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 18.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.4 s

    2.4 s

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

  • Total Blocking Time: 319 ms

    319 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 319 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 11 images without width and height

    11 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: 0.024

    0.024

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.024, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

2 to fix75
  • Page weight: 3.1 MB in 143 requests

    3.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.1 MB in 143 requests on a phone: scripts 1.8 MB (54), fonts 555 KiB (17) and images 424 KiB (16). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image far larger than shown

    74 KiB

    1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example Flexit-Logo-Sept-2022-White-Text-RGB-v6.png at 2,970 px wide, shown at 123 px. Resized copies would save about 74 KiB.

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (75 KiB) is 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.

  • About 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.88 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.88 g of CO₂e: 105.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images load when needed

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

Accessibility

8 to fixGoogle 7587
  • 30 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes (12 elements)

    Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes: 12 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 12 tap targets too small

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

  • Links look like plain text

    1 link inside paragraphs relies on colour alone to stand out.

  • 3 images without alt text

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (10 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 10 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Zoom is disabled

    The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

  • 12 links without text

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

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h4, h2 → h4 and h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 41 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 49 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 41 passed and 8 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 9286
  • No H1 headline

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

  • Structured data has 1 problem

    Structured data found (BreadcrumbList, ImageObject, Organization and Service) but with 1 problem, for example “Service: no offers (price) block”.

  • 125 internal links, 43 external

    The homepage links to 125 pages on flexit-solutions.com and 43 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 127 characters

    Your meta description is 127 characters: “Welcome to Flexit Solutions - From refurbishments to manufactured school, office and washrooms furniture Flexit has you…”.

  • Title: 58 characters

    Your title is a healthy 58 characters: “Flexit Solutions | Furniture & Refurbishment, Inside & Out”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.flexit-solutions.com/.

  • Open Graph tags complete

    Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.

  • 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.flexit-solutions.com/sitemap_index.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

  • 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 (924 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 2 pages without a meta description

    /our-service and /our-process have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 14 pages slow to respond

    /about-us, /our-team, /our-service, /our-process, /services and /refurbishment and 8 others took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 49 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 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.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • 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 9293
  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Unexpected token '<'”.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    13 of 14 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

2 to fix86
  • No HSTS header

    No Strict-Transport-Security header, so browsers may still try plain http first on a return visit.

  • No Content-Security-Policy

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

  • No clickjacking protection

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

  • 10 links through redirect chains

    10 links go through two or more redirects, for example https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https://www.flexit-solutions.com/portfolio/hugh-gaitksell-primary-school-eco-classroom/.

  • No X-Content-Type-Options

    X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.

  • No Referrer-Policy

    No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

  • 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.

5 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (flexit-solutions.com).

  • Valid certificate (52 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YR2 verifies for flexit-solutions.com and is valid for another 52 days.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://flexit-solutions.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 60 links work

    All 60 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 20 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    flexit-solutions.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

    flexit-solutions.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 13 years old

    13 years

    flexit-solutions.com was registered in Oct 2013 through 123-Reg Limited. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Oct 2027

    flexit-solutions.com is registered until Oct 2027.

Content and conversion

2 to fix86
  • 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.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 73 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • No opening hours

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

  • No form on the homepage

    There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

  • 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 797 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 797 words of visible text.

5 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

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

  • 5 calls to action

    The homepage has 5 calls to action, for example “Contact Us”, “Contact us” and “Request a Quote”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 2 phone links and 1 email link.

  • Phone number on the homepage

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

Email authentication

100
  • Email authentication score: 100/100

    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.

3 checks passed
  • DMARC policy: reject

    DMARC tells receivers to reject mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.

  • SPF with a strict ending (-all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com a:chi-web-01.simprocloud.com include:amazonses.com -all”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”, “s1” and “s2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (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.

  • 4 cookies set on arrival

    4

    Opening the homepage sets 4 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (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.

  • 11 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 11 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
