Speed

13 to fix65
  • 11,271 HTML elements

    The page has 11,271 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (actionbase.ai, Google Tag Manager and Clarity and others), adding 1.4 MB and 997 ms of main-thread time.

  • Mobile performance score: 65

    65/100

    Your mobile performance score is 65. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Improve image delivery

    300 ms · 697 KiB

    28 images could be 697 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    300 ms · 661 KiB

    About 661 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.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    150 ms · 520 KiB

    20 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (520 KiB).

  • Render-blocking requests

    600 ms

    7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 600 ms.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    450 ms · 81 KiB

    About 81 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • actionbase.ai adds 471 ms

    471 ms

    actionbase.ai costs a phone 471 ms of main-thread work and 218 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.

  • 6 long tasks on the main thread

    6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 413 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Main-thread work: 3.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 167 ms

    167 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 167 ms of main-thread work and 329 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.

  • Cookiebot adds 77 ms

    77 ms

    Cookiebot costs a phone 77 ms of main-thread work and 364 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

    50 ms

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

  • Legacy JavaScript

    30 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 30 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    7 KiB

    7 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

  • Minify JavaScript

    7 KiB

    7 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 73 ms

    73 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 73 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

7 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.

  • Time to Interactive: 21.9 s

    21.9 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 21.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 6.4 s

    6.4 s

    Your largest element takes 6.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Luxury Folding Gift Box Specialists”.

  • Speed Index: 6.7 s

    6.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 6.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Tap response (INP) got 87% slower for real visitors

    +87%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 128 ms to 229 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Real-user FCP: 1.8 s

    1.8 s

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

  • Total Blocking Time: 287 ms

    287 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 287 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    +5%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.4 s to 2.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

6 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 2.3 s

    2.3 s

    Real visitors wait 2.3 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 137 ms

    137 ms

    Real visitors wait 137 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.

  • Real-user TTFB: 304 ms

    304 ms

    Real visitors wait 304 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.4 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

4 to fix52
  • Page weight: 4.4 MB in 285 requests

    4.4 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.4 MB in 285 requests on a phone: scripts 2.0 MB (93), images 1.2 MB (54) and other files 822 KiB (122). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    fab-banner-home.png is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).

  • 4 images far larger than shown

    194 KiB

    4 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example Aston-Martin.webp at 522 px wide, shown at 120 px. Resized copies would save about 194 KiB.

  • 7 images below the first screen load straight away

    7 images further down the page (317 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • 3 images in older formats

    3 images (134 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.

  • About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.24 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.24 g of CO₂e: 148.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

10 to fixGoogle 8287
  • 1 button without a name

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

  • Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes (9 elements)

    Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes: 9 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 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.

  • 1 image without alt text

    1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (36 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 36 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Document should not have more than one banner landmark (1 element)

    Document should not have more than one banner landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 3 form fields without a label

    3 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (2 elements)

    Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings should not be empty (1 element)

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

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h4, h2 → h4 and h3 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (8 elements).

1 checks passed
  • 44 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 54 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 passed and 10 failed. 5 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 8589
  • Meta description is long (179 characters)

    Your meta description is 179 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • Structured data has 1 problem

    Structured data found (MerchantReturnPolicy, OnlineStore, WebPage and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “OnlineStore: sameAs is not an absolute URL (" mailto:[email protected]")”.

  • 2 links crawlers can't follow

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

  • 662 internal links, 12 external

    The homepage links to 662 pages on foldabox.co.uk and 12 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Luxury Folding Gift Box Specialists”.

  • Title: 39 characters

    Your title is a healthy 39 characters: “Wholesale Folding Gift Boxes | Foldabox”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • 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.foldabox.co.uk/sitemap.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: 6 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (6,385 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://www.foldabox.co.uk/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 2 pages without a meta description

    https://www.foldabox.co.uk/pages/giftbox-sizes and https://www.foldabox.co.uk/pages/giftbox-accessories have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 15 pages without an H1

    https://www.foldabox.co.uk/blogs/news, https://www.foldabox.co.uk/pages/helphq, https://www.foldabox.co.uk/pages/giftbox-sizes, https://www.foldabox.co.uk/pages/giftbox-accessories, https://www.foldabox.co.uk/collections/cupcake-dividers-to-fit-medium-and-large-folding-magnetic-gift-boxes and https://www.foldabox.co.uk/collections/decorative-gift-box-closures-from-foldabox and 9 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 4 pages slow to respond

    https://www.foldabox.co.uk/blogs/news, https://www.foldabox.co.uk/pages/helphq, https://www.foldabox.co.uk/pages/giftbox-sizes and https://www.foldabox.co.uk/pages/giftbox-accessories took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 195 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • 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

3 to fixGoogle 9276
  • 1 broken image

    1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=97205021&tm=gtm002&Ver=2&mid=a311ec3f-6968-4ac9-a990-ceb59138aa54&bo=1&sid=bc5a7e30de3c11f19b4b11bb617373ad&vid=bc5aa8f0de3c11f18bbfab9456f8da11&vids=1&msclkid=N&pi=91.

  • 4 JavaScript errors while loading

    4 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_TUNNEL_CONNECTION_FAILED”.

  • 1 distorted image

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

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    18 of 19 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix75
  • 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.

  • No phone number on the homepage

    A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.

  • No opening hours

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

  • 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 1,341 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,341 words of visible text.

5 checks passed
  • 11 calls to action

    The homepage has 11 calls to action, for example “Shop All”, “Shop All Boxes” and “Shop All Samples”.

  • 5 short forms

    5 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 141 testimonial or review blocks, 88 customer or partner logos and a star rating.

  • Analytics in place

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

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 0 phone links and 2 email links.

Privacy and tracking

  • 10 trackers load before any consent

    10

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and Klaviyo and 5 mores (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (Cookiebot) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 22 cookies set on arrival

    22

    Opening the homepage sets 22 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 51 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 51 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: Cookiebot

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

Security, domain, email and software versions

The security, domain and email checks, software and plugin versions, and any app with a known security problem are visible only to people at foldabox.co.uk, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
