gripclean.com website review

About 322 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.5 s faster on a phone.

11 images could be 488 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 850 ms faster on a phone.

Your mobile performance score is 67. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 300 ms.

The page has 2,774 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

A phone's processor spends 2.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 478 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

Shopify costs a phone 31 ms of main-thread work and 341 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.

37 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles. Google estimates it would make the page about 250 ms faster on a phone.

2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 133 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

5 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, JSDelivr CDN and Google CDN and others), adding 603 KiB and 65 ms of main-thread time.

5 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (9 KiB).

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

Your largest element takes 8.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Hero Image”.

The page becomes fully interactive after 8.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 5.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

The first text or image appears after 2.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

3 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

Your homepage downloads 2.9 MB in 156 requests on a phone: images 1.3 MB (27), other files 606 KiB (50) and scripts 552 KiB (47). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example grip-clean-heavy-duty-hand-cleaner-lineup-shop-sink_e2e0c914 at 2,000 px wide, shown at 437 px. Resized copies would save about 179 KiB.

4 images further down the page (331 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

1 image (315 KiB) is 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.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.81 g of CO₂e: 97.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

1 tap target is too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

2 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 8 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

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 main 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 on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

2 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

There are 4 <h1> headlines (“”, “GET A GRIP ON CLEAN. Heavy Duty Clean. Easy On Sk…” and “let us help you”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

The homepage links to 96 pages on gripclean.com and 11 external pages.

/discount/NEWSITE declares the homepage as its canonical URL, which tells Google it is a copy of the homepage and keeps it out of search results. A site-wide template setting usually causes this.

/ and /discount/NEWSITE all use the title “Grip Clean Official Site | Mechanic-Owned Hand Cleaner & Soaps”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

/policies/shipping-policy, /collections/top-sellers, /collections/accessories, /collections/auto-wash, /pages/bulk-purchase and /pages/about-us and 1 other have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

/pages/bulk-purchase has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 36 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_TUNNEL_CONNECTION_FAILED”.

1 link to other sites is dead, for example https://www.ebay.com/str/gripclean (500).

HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.

There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

gripclean.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.

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 analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.

There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

The homepage carries about 2,825 words of visible text.

The page uses urgency cues (a countdown or limited-time wording).

DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be gripclean.com is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.

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.

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

Opening the homepage sets 17 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

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.

Loading the homepage contacts 26 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
