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
Mobile performance score: 74
74/100Your mobile performance score is 74. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Improve image delivery
350 ms · 187 KiB11 images could be 187 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 350 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 11 KiBAbout 11 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
4 third-party services on the page
4 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Mailchimp and intuit.com and others), adding 232 KiB and 54 ms of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
22 KiB14 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (22 KiB).
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.
Minify JavaScript
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 1.0 s
A phone's processor spends 1.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 404 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 5 ms
5 msYour server sent the HTML in 5 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 5.3 s
5.3 sYour largest element takes 5.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image. Most of its time is resource load delay (2.4 s).
Largest content (LCP) got 22% slower for real visitors
+22%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.1 s to 1.4 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Speed Index: 5.3 s
5.3 sVisually, the page fills in at 5.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Time to Interactive: 5.3 s
5.3 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 5.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
First Contentful Paint: 2.2 s
2.2 sThe first text or image appears after 2.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
17 images without width and height
17 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

Total Blocking Time: 0 ms
0 msScripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
2 images below the first screen load straight away
2 images further down the page (48 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit
0.48 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.48 g of CO₂e: 57.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Page weight: 1.7 MB in 167 requests
1.7 MBYour homepage downloads 1.7 MB in 167 requests on a phone: other files 730 KiB (81), images 645 KiB (37) and scripts 285 KiB (45). That is a lean page.
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
ARIA attributes must conform to valid values (6 elements)
ARIA attributes must conform to valid values: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.
6 tap targets too small
6 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
34 images without alt text
34 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
2 links without text
2 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
1 checks passed
47 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 51 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 4 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
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.
39 internal links, 1 external
The homepage links to 39 pages on gpio.com and 1 external page.
6 checks passed
Meta description: 143 characters
Your meta description is 143 characters: “Radio Frequency Amplifiers, Filters, Mixers, Adapters and Connectors. Radio Frequency products for AIS, ADS-B, GPS, GNS…”.
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “GPIO LABS”.
Title: 36 characters
Your title is a healthy 36 characters: “Radio Frequency Products – GPIO LABS”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://gpio.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://gpio.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
No Organization structured data
There is no Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants have no machine-readable facts about who runs the site: its name, logo, profiles and contact details.
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 (376 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://gpio.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
8 pages without a meta description
https://gpio.com/collections/filters, https://gpio.com/collections/notch-filters, https://gpio.com/collections/low-pass-filters, https://gpio.com/collections/attenuators, https://gpio.com/collections/rf-adapters-and-connectors and https://gpio.com/collections/frequency-doubler and 2 others have 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 https://gpio.com/blogs/news/an-important-note-about-shipping, whose canonical is https://gpio.com/blogs/news/shipping. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
2 pages with very little text
https://gpio.com/collections/attenuators and https://gpio.com/pages/contact-us 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.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 22 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

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.
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
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 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 320 words of copy
The homepage carries about 320 words of visible text.
2 checks passed
4 calls to action

Privacy and tracking
3 trackers load before any consent

11 cookies set on arrival
11Opening the homepage sets 11 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
No consent tool detected

Security, domain, email and software versions
