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

10 to fix34
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.6 s · 521 KiB

    About 521 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.6 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.6 s

    6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.6 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 34

    34/100

    Your mobile performance score is 34 (desktop: 48). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Clarity and LinkedIn Ads and others), adding 937 KiB and 845 ms of main-thread time.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 722 ms

    722 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 722 ms of main-thread work and 868 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

    450 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 450 ms).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    300 ms · 109 KiB

    About 109 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    356 KiB

    2 images could be 356 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Main-thread work: 3.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 1,990 HTML elements

    The page has 1,990 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • 9 long tasks on the main thread

    9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 186 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    100 ms · 27 KiB

    6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (27 KiB).

  • Legacy JavaScript

    17 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 17 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • 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: 101 ms

    101 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 101 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

12 to fix50
  • 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 FCP: 3.2 s

    3.2 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 3.2 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 12.5 s

    12.5 s

    Your largest element takes 12.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.

  • Speed Index: 18.4 s

    18.4 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 18.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 14.0 s

    14.0 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 14.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.294

    0.294

    The layout shifts by 0.294 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user LCP: 4.0 s

    4.0 s

    Real visitors wait 4.0 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Tap response (INP) got 48% slower for real visitors

    +48%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 121 ms to 181 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 26% slower for real visitors

    +26%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.2 s to 2.7 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.8 s

    1.8 s

    Real visitors wait 1.8 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.9 s

    2.9 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 471 ms

    471 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 471 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

1 checks passed
  • Real-user CLS: 0.03

    0.03

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.03 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

Images and page weight

2 to fix60
  • Page weight: 4.2 MB in 88 requests

    4.2 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.2 MB in 88 requests on a phone: images 2.8 MB (37), scripts 1.1 MB (22) and stylesheets 146 KiB (7). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image far larger than shown

    82 KiB

    1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example FWEHatco_Logo_Oval-scaled.webp at 2,560 px wide, shown at 180 px. Resized copies would save about 82 KiB.

  • About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.19 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.19 g of CO₂e: 142.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images load when needed

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

Accessibility

9 to fixGoogle 8489
  • Images must have alternative text (1 element)

    Images must have alternative text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • 61 tap targets too small

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

  • 5 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Form elements should have a visible label (1 element)

    Form elements should have a visible label: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 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.

  • No main landmark

    The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

  • Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)

    Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 5 links without text

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

  • 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 (h2 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 49 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 59 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 passed and 10 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 8598
  • 2 links crawlers can't follow

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

  • 266 internal links, 29 external

    The homepage links to 266 pages on fwe.com and 29 external pages.

8 checks passed
  • Meta description: 155 characters

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.fwe.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: 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 (1,547 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

    The site publishes /llms.txt (4 KiB, 32 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

100

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9297
  • 9 distorted images

    9 images are displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so they look stretched or squashed.

3 checks passed
  • No console errors

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

  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    30 of 37 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.

  • No X-Content-Type-Options

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

  • 4 links through redirect chains

    4 links go through two or more redirects, for example http://fwe.to/2xm2.

  • 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 (fwe.com).

  • Valid certificate (36 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for fwe.com and is valid for another 36 days.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://fwe.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 52 links work

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

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    fwe.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

    fwe.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 32 years old

    32 years

    fwe.com was registered in May 1994 through Cloudflare, Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until May 2032

    fwe.com is registered until May 2032.

Content and conversion

1 to fix93
  • 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 opening hours

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

  • Phone number is not tap-to-call

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

  • 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 704 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 704 words of visible text.

6 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “DOWNLOAD BROCHURE” and “Contact Info”.

  • 40 calls to action

    The homepage has 40 calls to action, for example “Contact Us”, “How To Buy” and “Quote Builder”.

  • 2 short forms

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

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 19 testimonial or review blocks, 1 customer or partner logo and 1 trust badge.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and Cloudflare Web Analytics.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage.

Email authentication

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

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be fwe.com is still delivered. Add a report address, check the reports, then move to quarantine.

  • 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 include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:sendgrid.net include:spf-008f8901.pphosted.com ip4:205.220.163.152 ip…”.

  • DKIM signing found

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

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 5 trackers load before any consent

    5

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

  • 9 cookies set on arrival

    9

    Opening the homepage sets 9 cookies (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.

  • 15 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 15 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
