Speed

7 to fix87
  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Clarity and Klaviyo and others), adding 1.2 MB and 986 ms of main-thread time.

  • Mobile performance score: 87

    87/100

    Your mobile performance score is 87. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 579 ms

    579 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 579 ms of main-thread work and 709 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.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    512 KiB

    About 512 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Render-blocking requests

    450 ms

    6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.

  • 11 long tasks on the main thread

    11 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 300 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Main-thread work: 2.9 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    154 KiB

    7 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (154 KiB).

  • Improve image delivery

    75 KiB

    5 images could be 75 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    43 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 43 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    24 KiB

    About 24 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • 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.

  • Server response: 6 ms

    6 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 6 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -3%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.0 s to 0.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

9 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

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

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    Your largest element renders in 1.1 s on a phone, inside Google's 2.5 s “good” threshold. The largest element is the text “Goodson is the premier supplier to engine rebuilders around…”.

Images and page weight

2 to fix81
  • Page weight: 2.9 MB in 264 requests

    2.9 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.9 MB in 264 requests on a phone: scripts 1.4 MB (57), other files 1.0 MB (175) and images 251 KiB (24). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    Untitled_-_2025-12-18T153817.605_400x.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).

  • About 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.81 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.81 g of CO₂e: 97.4 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 are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

11 to fixGoogle 7486
  • Orphan list items

    Some list items are not inside a list.

  • Hidden but focusable

    11 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.

  • 2 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Frames without titles

    1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.

  • Malformed lists

    Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail 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.

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

    Document should not have more than one contentinfo 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.

  • Zoom is disabled

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

  • 2 links without text

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

  • Headings skip levels

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

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 26 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 46 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: 46 passed and 12 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 9293
  • 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.

  • One H1 headline

    Your <h1> is empty.

  • 416 internal links, 8 external

    The homepage links to 416 pages on goodson.com and 8 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 154 characters

    Your meta description is 154 characters: “Engine building tools and engine building supplies from Goodson Tools & Supplies. Buy engine building tools from Goodso…”.

  • Canonical URL set

  • 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://goodson.com/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: 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 (1,486 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

5 to fix67
  • 1 page without a title

    https://goodson.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.

  • 1 linked page hidden from search

    https://goodson.com/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

  • 1 page without a meta description

    https://goodson.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 2 pages share a meta description

    https://goodson.com/blogs/goodson-gazette/tagged/tech-lab-tuesday and https://goodson.com/blogs/goodson-gazette/tagged/tech-notes use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 1 page without an H1

    https://goodson.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

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

3 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9278
  • 1 broken image

    1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=148000280&tm=gtm002&Ver=2&mid=56a7dff1-692d-4a71-9096-4f6f83971c93&bo=1&sid=884d88c0dd0d11f1a135d37409f72cc9&vid=884dc980dd0d11f1b968f935b7a2cdc1&vids=1&msclkid=N&gtm_.

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()”.

  • 1 low-resolution image

    1 image is served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    52 of 58 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix83
  • 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: 1 trust badge. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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 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.

  • About 320 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 320 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: “Learn More”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage.

  • Risk reducer mentioned

    A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 7 trackers load before any consent

    7

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel and 2 mores (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.

  • 17 cookies set on arrival

    17

    Opening the homepage sets 17 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.

  • 28 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 28 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

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 goodson.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
