Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.

One score from every part of this review. How it works

Live view · interaction off

Speed

6 to fix66
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    3.0 s · 566 KiB

    41 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (566 KiB).

  • Improve image delivery

    3.0 s · 554 KiB

    2 images could be 554 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.0 s faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    900 ms · 490 KiB

    About 490 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 66

    66/100

    Your mobile performance score is 66 (desktop: 92). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and LinkedIn Ads and others), adding 904 KiB and 757 ms of main-thread time.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 713 ms

    713 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 713 ms of main-thread work and 772 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.

  • 7 long tasks on the main thread

    7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 240 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    17 KiB

    About 17 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Phones get a much slower page than desktops

    Desktop scores 92 but mobile only 66. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 753 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 46 ms

    46 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 46 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

10 to fix67
  • 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.

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.9 s

    1.9 s

    Real visitors wait 1.9 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 7.8 s

    7.8 s

    Your largest element takes 7.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Always Reliable. All Ways. We don’t just test oil - we turn…”.

  • Time to Interactive: 11.3 s

    11.3 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 11.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Real-user LCP: 2.6 s

    2.6 s

    Real visitors wait 2.6 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Tap response (INP) got 21% slower for real visitors

    +21%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 72 ms to 89 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 47% slower for real visitors

    +47%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.1 s to 2.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Real-user FCP: 2.1 s

    2.1 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.1 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 326 ms

    326 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 326 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.1 s

    2.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

4 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 87 ms

    87 ms

    Real visitors wait 87 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Speed Index: 3.3 s

    3.3 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 3.3 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.008

    0.008

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.008, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

3 to fix55
  • 1 image over 500 KB

    DSC_2538-scaled-1.jpg weighs 556 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 1 image far larger than shown

    490 KiB

    1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example DSC_2538-scaled-1.jpg at 2,560 px wide, shown at 294 px. Resized copies would save about 490 KiB.

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (556 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 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.48 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.48 g of CO₂e: 58.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • Page weight: 1.7 MB in 75 requests

    1.7 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.7 MB in 75 requests on a phone: scripts 995 KiB (42), images 638 KiB (13) and fonts 48 KiB (1). That is a lean page.

  • Images load when needed

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

Accessibility

4 to fixGoogle 8593
  • 1 button without a name

    1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • 4 text elements with low contrast

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (4 elements)

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

  • 17 links without text

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

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h4, h2 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 22 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 40 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 45 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 40 passed and 5 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 9298
  • 1 link with vague text

    1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

  • 109 internal links, 11 external

    The homepage links to 109 pages on fluidlife.com and 11 external pages.

8 checks passed
  • Meta description: 140 characters

    Your meta description is 140 characters: “Get the benefit of 40+ years of experience in equipment reliability with Fluid Life, your trusted oil analysis partner …”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Always Reliable.All Ways.”.

  • Title: 39 characters

    Your title is a healthy 39 characters: “Always Reliable. All Ways. - Fluid Life”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, ImageObject, Organization, WebPage and WebSite.

  • 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.fluidlife.com/sitemap_index.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, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (809 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (11 KiB, 89 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 2 pages without a meta description

    /shop and /services/laboratory-services have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 46 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 10093
  • 2 small tap targets

    2 of 10 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

2 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

3 to fix79
  • http:// does not redirect

    http://fluidlife.com does not redirect to https, so some visitors land on the insecure version.

  • 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.

  • 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.

4 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (fluidlife.com).

  • Valid certificate (50 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for fluidlife.com and is valid for another 50 days.

  • HTTP/2

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

  • All 49 links work

    All 49 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 9 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    fluidlife.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

    fluidlife.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 29 years old

    29 years

    fluidlife.com was registered in Sep 1997 through DreamHost, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Sep 2027

    fluidlife.com is registered until Sep 2027.

Content and conversion

2 to fix75
  • 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 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 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 449 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 449 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Contact Us”.

  • 11 calls to action

    The homepage has 11 calls to action, for example “Shop”, “Order Desk” and “Contact Us”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and LinkedIn Insight.

Email authentication

85
  • Email authentication score: 85/100

    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: quarantine

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

  • SPF in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:_spf.salesforce.com include:_spf.prod.hydra.sophos.com ip4:76.66.225.…”.

  • 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

  • 4 trackers load before any consent

    4

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and LinkedIn Insight (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (CookieYes) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 10 cookies set on arrival

    10

    Opening the homepage sets 10 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: CookieYes

    A consent management tool (CookieYes) loads with the page.
