grainprocessing.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Render-blocking requests
1.6 s9 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.6 s.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Wistia and Google CDN and others), adding 4.1 MB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.1 MB29 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.1 MB).
Mobile performance score: 76
76/100Your mobile performance score is 76. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Google Tag Manager adds 707 ms
707 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 707 ms of main-thread work and 817 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
722 KiBAbout 722 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Wistia adds 209 ms
209 msWistia costs a phone 209 ms of main-thread work and 2.8 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.
Improve image delivery
380 KiB3 images could be 380 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Main-thread work: 2.2 s
A phone's processor spends 2.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Google CDN adds 117 ms
117 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 117 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.
Font display
250 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 250 ms).
9 long tasks on the main thread
9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 216 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
37 KiBAbout 37 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Legacy JavaScript
9 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 9 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.
Minify JavaScript
4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

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.
Speed Index: 10.3 s
10.3 sVisually, the page fills in at 10.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Time to Interactive: 15.0 s
15.0 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 15.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Real-user TTFB: 866 ms
866 msReal visitors wait 866 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
Total Blocking Time: 562 ms
562 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 562 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
14 images without width and height
14 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 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 94 ms to 102 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
+4%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.8 s to 1.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Largest Contentful Paint: 1.7 s
1.7 sYour largest element renders in 1.7 s on a phone, inside Google's 2.5 s “good” threshold. The largest element is the text “You’ll love working with us. For over 80 years, our family …”.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.006
0.006The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.006, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 15.2 MB in 70 requests
15.2 MBYour homepage downloads 15.2 MB in 70 requests on a phone: images 10.9 MB (16), media 2.6 MB (1) and scripts 1.6 MB (26). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image over 500 KB
gpc-hmpg-non-gmo.jpg weighs 591 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
7 images in older formats
7 images (1.9 MB) 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.
6 images below the first screen load straight away
6 images further down the page (1.8 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
2 images far larger than shown
346 KiB2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example US-BMC2026-logo_white_Platinum.png at 4,500 px wide, shown at 96 px. Resized copies would save about 346 KiB.
About 4.3 g of CO₂ per visit
4.32 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 4.32 g of CO₂e: 518.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
7 text elements with low contrast
7 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
4 images without alt text
4 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
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.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
1 checks passed
46 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: 46 passed and 2 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is short (28 characters)
Your title is only 28 characters: “Grain Processing Corporation”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
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 (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
97 internal links, 3 external
The homepage links to 97 pages on grainprocessing.com and 3 external pages.
5 checks passed
Meta description: 117 characters
Your meta description is 117 characters: “GPC has provided great service and superior products, while turning the Midwest’s abundance into quality ingredients.”.
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Non-GMO Expertise”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.grainprocessing.com/.
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place.
XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.grainprocessing.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.
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.
2 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 (573 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 41 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
1 checks passed
Linked pages load
All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.
Best practices
12 small tap targets
12 of 37 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
3 JavaScript errors while loading
3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.
No HTML doctype
The page has no <!DOCTYPE html>, so browsers render it in quirks mode.
1 low-resolution image
1 image is served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
No Content-Security-Policy
No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
Short HSTS lifetime
HSTS is set, but max-age is 0 days; one year is the recommended minimum.
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.
Deprecated X-XSS-Protection
X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.
No security.txt
There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.
6 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (grainprocessing.com).
Valid certificate (59 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YR2 verifies for grainprocessing.com and is valid for another 59 days.
Protected from clickjacking
X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.
http:// redirects to https
http://grainprocessing.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2
The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.
All 42 links work
All 42 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 2 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
grainprocessing.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
grainprocessing.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 30 years old
30 yearsgrainprocessing.com was registered in Jun 1996 through Network Solutions, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Jun 2029
grainprocessing.com is registered until Jun 2029.
Content and conversion
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
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 387 words of copy
The homepage carries about 387 words of visible text.
5 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Contact Us”.
6 calls to action

1 short form
A short form (3 fields at most) is right on the homepage.

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: reject
DMARC tells receivers to reject mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.
SPF in place (~all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:spf.brevo.com include:_spf.ultipro.com ip4:23.101.149.240 ~all”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”), 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 Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and LinkedIn Insight (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.
10 cookies set on arrival
10Opening the homepage sets 10 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).
