Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors
Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on your site (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.
Real-user TTFB: 2.0 s
2.0 sReal visitors wait 2.0 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
Real-user LCP: 2.9 s
2.9 sReal visitors wait 2.9 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.
Real-user FCP: 2.6 s
2.6 sReal visitors see the first content after 2.6 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
-6%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 88 ms to 79 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Real-user CLS: 0.01
0.01For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.01 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.0 MB
3.0 MBYour homepage downloads 3.0 MB on a phone, 727 KiB of it images (24%). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image in older formats
1 image (212 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.
About 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit
0.85 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.85 g of CO₂e: 101.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
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.
8 images without alt text
8 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (12 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 12 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
The skip-link target should exist and be focusable (1 element)
The skip-link target should exist and be focusable: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
6 form fields without a label
6 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
2 links without text
2 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
1 checks passed
42 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 46 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 42 passed and 4 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No meta description
No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.
Title is short (12 characters)
Your title is only 12 characters: “Home - Heyco”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
4 H1 headlines
There are 4 <h1> headlines (“100 Years of Heyco”, “Engineered Component Solutions” and “Local Support Where You Need It”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Open Graph partly set
Open Graph is missing og:description, so shared links fall back to guesses.
192 internal links, 4 external
The homepage links to 192 pages on heyco.com and 4 external pages.
4 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.heyco.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, ImageObject, Organization, WebPage and WebSite.
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://www.heyco.com/sitemap_index.xml.
AI search readiness
Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)
Your Organization JSON-LD is missing sameAs (social profiles), 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.
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 (806 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
13 pages without a meta description
/part-search, /cad-search, /es, /products, /products/solar-power-components and /products/strain-relief-bushings and 7 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 /products, whose canonical is /een/products. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
3 pages without an H1
/part-search, /cad-search and /news-tradeshow have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
2 pages slow to respond
/products/solar-power-components and /about-us-2 took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 41 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
4 checks passed
Linked pages load
All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.
Titles are unique
Every page we checked has its own title.
No linked page is hidden from search
None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.
Every page has a title
All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.
Best practices
3 checks passed
No console errors
No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.
Tap targets are thumb-sized
63 of 72 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
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.
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 608 words of copy
The homepage carries about 608 words of visible text.
4 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Quick Order” and “Where to Buy”.
16 calls to action
The homepage has 16 calls to action, for example “Quick Order”, “Where to Buy” and “Contact Us”.
4 short forms
4 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and HubSpot.
Privacy and tracking
5 trackers load before any consent
5Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, HubSpot and Microsoft Clarity (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (HubSpot cookie banner) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.
3 cookies set on arrival
3Opening the homepage sets 3 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
26 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 26 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
1 checks passed
Consent tool: HubSpot cookie banner
A consent management tool (HubSpot cookie banner) loads with the page.
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 heyco.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
