Speed
Mobile performance score: 50
50/100Your mobile performance score is 50. 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 (doratree.com, Shopify and Mailchimp and others), adding 1.4 MB and 664 ms of main-thread time.
Render-blocking requests
750 ms6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 750 ms.
Reduce unused JavaScript
170 ms · 449 KiBAbout 449 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 170 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
528 KiB25 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (528 KiB).
Main-thread work: 3.1 s
A phone's processor spends 3.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Shopify adds 220 ms
220 msShopify costs a phone 220 ms of main-thread work and 610 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.
doratree.com adds 226 ms
226 msdoratree.com costs a phone 226 ms of main-thread work and 473 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.
4 long tasks on the main thread
4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 271 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
1,556 HTML elements
The page has 1,556 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 150 KiB4 images could be 150 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Reduce unused CSS
35 KiBAbout 35 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Legacy JavaScript
18 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 18 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 JavaScript
5 KiB5 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Minify CSS
4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.1 MB in 261 requests
4.1 MBYour homepage downloads 4.1 MB in 261 requests on a phone: scripts 1.8 MB (84), images 1.0 MB (34) and other files 949 KiB (125). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
HD_Bolt_and_Washer_Kit.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).
2 images in older formats
2 images (69 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.
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (58 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit
1.16 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.16 g of CO₂e: 138.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility

45 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 3 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Meta description is long (252 characters)
Your meta description is 252 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
8 links with vague text
8 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
57 internal links, 9 external
The homepage links to 57 pages on gowesty.com and 9 external pages.
7 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “GoWesty”.
Title: 63 characters
Your title is a healthy 63 characters: “GoWesty • Premier Parts Supplier for VW Bus, Vanagon, & Eurovan”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://gowesty.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: Organization 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://gowesty.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)
Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.
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.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (489 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
1 linked page is broken
Your homepage links to /collections, which answers with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop it.
2 pages without a meta description
/blogs/traveling-ambassadors and /pages/contact-gowesty have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
2 links to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 2 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example /products/cabin-light-led-bus-vanagon-eurovan, whose canonical is /products/interior-lighting-cabin-led. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
3 pages with very little text
/blogs/traveling-ambassadors, /pages/contact-gowesty and /collections/sale have under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.
15 internal pages checked

Short HSTS lifetime
HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.
3 links through redirect chains
3 links go through two or more redirects, for example https://gowesty.com/account.
No Referrer-Policy
No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.
No Permissions-Policy

Valid certificate (61 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for gowesty.com and is valid for another 61 days.
Protected from clickjacking
X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.

http:// redirects to https
http://gowesty.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2 and HTTP/3

Domain and trust
Domain expires in 32 days
gowesty.com is registered until Dec 2026. Make sure auto-renew is on and the card on file is current.
No CAA record
gowesty.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
gowesty.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.
1 checks passed
Domain is 28 years old
28 yearsgowesty.com was registered in Dec 1997 through Tucows Domains Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Content and conversion
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 8 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
A 11-field form
Your longest form asks for 11 fields (6 required). Every extra field lowers completion.
No direct contact details

SPF in place (~all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 mx a ip4:35.131.67.90 ip6:2600:3c01::f03c:91ff:fe33:30ea include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:sendgrid.net…”.
