Speed
Wix adds 1.6 s
1.6 sWix costs a phone 1.6 s of main-thread work and 5.9 MB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
Mobile performance score: 31
31/100Your mobile performance score is 31. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 7.4 s
A phone's processor spends 7.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
7,316 HTML elements
The page has 7,316 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Wix, Google Tag Manager and Facebook and others), adding 7.0 MB and 2.6 s of main-thread time.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 1.1 s. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused JavaScript
650 KiBAbout 650 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Google Tag Manager adds 496 ms
496 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 496 ms of main-thread work and 588 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
271 KiB11 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (271 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
260 KiBAbout 260 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Duplicated JavaScript
150 ms · 33 KiB33 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 13 KiB2 images could be 13 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
100 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
35 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 35 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify CSS
13 KiB13 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Minify JavaScript
6 KiB6 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 9.1 MB in 365 requests
9.1 MBYour homepage downloads 9.1 MB in 365 requests on a phone: images 4.0 MB (34), scripts 2.3 MB (128) and other files 2.1 MB (190). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 2.6 g of CO₂ per visit
2.59 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.59 g of CO₂e: 310.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
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
32 text elements with low contrast
32 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
9 tap targets too small
9 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
23 links without text
23 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (5 elements).
1 checks passed
44 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 47 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 passed and 3 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
Only 0 internal links
The homepage links to only 0 pages on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.
2 links with vague text
2 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
7 checks passed

AI search readiness
Most text only appears after JavaScript runs
0%A phone browser shows 614 words, but the HTML your server sends has only 0. GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot read that HTML without running JavaScript, so they see an almost empty page. Server-side rendering or pre-rendering fixes it.
Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)
Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, sameAs (social profiles) and description. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.
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.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://www.ironsite.com/llms.txt (4 KiB, 3 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Tap targets are thumb-sized
24 of 24 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
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 calls to action
We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.
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 opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
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 614 words of copy
The homepage carries about 614 words of visible text.
2 checks passed
Phone number on the homepage
Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.
LocalBusiness structured data
Your homepage describes the business with LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants can read its address, hours and phone reliably.
Privacy and tracking
4 trackers load before any consent
4Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel, Microsoft Ads and Microsoft Clarity (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.
11 cookies set on arrival
11Opening the homepage sets 11 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
No consent tool detected
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.
23 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 23 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
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 ironsite.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
