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
Speed
Render-blocking requests
3.1 s49 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.1 s.
Improve image delivery
2.1 s · 653 KiB3 images could be 653 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.1 s faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.8 s · 825 KiBAbout 825 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.8 s faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Facebook and Clarity and others), adding 6.1 MB and 502 ms of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 64
64/100Your mobile performance score is 64 (desktop: 73). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Vimeo adds 85 ms
85 msVimeo costs a phone 85 ms of main-thread work and 5.4 MB 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.
Reduce unused CSS
450 ms · 80 KiBAbout 80 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 302 KiB13 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (302 KiB).
Main-thread work: 2.3 s
A phone's processor spends 2.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Google Tag Manager adds 156 ms
156 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 156 ms of main-thread work and 352 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.
5 long tasks on the main thread
5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 115 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
36 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 36 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.
Minify CSS
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Server response: 90 ms
90 msYour server sent the HTML in 90 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
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: 2.1 s
2.1 sReal visitors wait 2.1 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
Largest Contentful Paint: 10.9 s
10.9 sYour largest element takes 10.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “We use cookies to enhance your browsing experience, serve p…”.
Time to Interactive: 18.3 s
18.3 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 18.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 7.2 s
7.2 sVisually, the page fills in at 7.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Real-user LCP: 3.4 s
3.4 sReal visitors wait 3.4 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.
Real-user INP: 237 ms
237 msReal visitors wait 237 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.
Real-user FCP: 2.8 s
2.8 sReal visitors see the first content after 2.8 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
First Contentful Paint: 2.4 s
2.4 sThe first text or image appears after 2.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
8 images without width and height
8 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) got 11% slower for real visitors
+11%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 224 ms to 243 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
-2%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.4 s to 3.3 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Total Blocking Time: 124 ms
124 msScripts block the page for only 124 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.012
0.012The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.012, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 8.3 MB in 156 requests
8.3 MBYour homepage downloads 8.3 MB in 156 requests on a phone: other files 5.3 MB (19), scripts 1.7 MB (56) and images 935 KiB (26). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
4 images far larger than shown
384 KiB4 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example home-lift-range.png at 1,314 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 384 KiB.
3 images below the first screen load straight away
3 images further down the page (549 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
2 images in older formats
2 images (464 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 2.4 g of CO₂ per visit
2.36 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.36 g of CO₂e: 283.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
1 button without a name
1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
Hidden but focusable
1 element hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
1 text element with low contrast
1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
9 images without alt text
9 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
Banner landmark should not be contained in another landmark (1 element)
Banner landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Contentinfo landmark should not be contained in another landmark (1 element)
Contentinfo landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Main landmark should not be contained in another landmark (1 element)
Main landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 1 element on the page fails 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.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3 and h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
47 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 58 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 11 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Structured data has 1 problem
Structured data found (Organization) but with 1 problem, for example “Organization: sameAs is an empty list”.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
1 link crawlers can't follow
1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.
105 internal links, 7 external
The homepage links to 105 pages on gartec.com and 7 external pages.
6 checks passed
Meta description: 145 characters
Your meta description is 145 characters: “We are Gartec, the lift company who takes care of every stage of your lift installation, from initial site survey throu…”.
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “The UK’s Leading Supplier of Award Winning Aritco Platform Lifts”.
Title: 51 characters
Your title is a healthy 51 characters: “Gartec - The UK's Leading Lift Company for 25 Years”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://gartec.com/.
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://gartec.com/sitemap_index.xml.
AI search readiness
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.
3 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: 5 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, description and contact details; sameAs (social profiles) would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,305 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 page without a meta description
/case-studies has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 link to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example /contact, whose canonical is /contact-us. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
2 pages without an H1
/goods-lift-range and /lift-emergency-phone-upgrade-analogue-switch-off have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
7 pages slow to respond
/goods-lift-range, /step-lift-range, /lift-servicing, /servicing-packages, /lift-refurbishment and /lift-replacement and 1 other took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 47 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
4 checks passed
Linked pages load
All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.
Titles are unique
Every page we checked has its own title.
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
4 small tap targets
4 of 15 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
1 third-party cookie
1 third-party cookie is set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.
3 JavaScript errors while loading
3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Cannot read properties of null (reading 'blur')”.
1 low-resolution image
1 image is served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.
Browser-reported issues
Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
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.
1 link through redirect chains
1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://facebook.com/gartecltd.
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 (gartec.com).
Valid certificate (71 days left)
The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for gartec.com and is valid for another 71 days.
http:// redirects to https
http://gartec.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 46 links work
All 46 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 6 external) answered without errors; 1 did not answer within 5 s.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
gartec.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
gartec.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 27 years old
27 yearsgartec.com was registered in Jul 1999 through Tucows Domains Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Jul 2027
gartec.com is registered until Jul 2027.
Content and conversion
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 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 1,124 words of copy
The homepage carries about 1,124 words of visible text.
6 checks passed
4 calls to action
The homepage has 4 calls to action, for example “Get in touch”, “Join Our Newsletter” and “SIGN UP”.
2 short forms
2 short forms (5 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.
Social proof on the page
Social proof on the homepage: 19 testimonial or review blocks, 2 customer or partner logos and 1 trust badge.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Analytics, Meta Pixel and Microsoft Clarity.
Direct contact links
Visitors can reach you directly: 7 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
Email authentication score: 90/100
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.
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:spf.uk.exclaimer.net include:spf.bigchange.com include:spf.mandrillap…”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”, “k1” and “k2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
4 trackers load before any consent
4Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel, Microsoft Ads 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.
12 cookies set on arrival
12Opening the homepage sets 12 cookies, 2 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.
13 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 13 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
Upkeep, stack and company
