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
Use efficient cache lifetimes
4.2 s · 2.8 MB79 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (2.8 MB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
5.7 s · 1.0 MBAbout 1.0 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 5.7 s faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
1.6 s · 858 KiB35 images could be 858 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.6 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
2.3 s12 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.3 s.
Mobile performance score: 45
45/100Your mobile performance score is 45 (desktop: 79). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (YouTube, Google Tag Manager and Facebook and others), adding 2.0 MB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
750 ms · 144 KiBAbout 144 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.
YouTube adds 385 ms
385 msYouTube costs a phone 385 ms of main-thread work and 992 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.
Legacy JavaScript
300 ms · 24 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 24 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Google Tag Manager adds 253 ms
253 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 253 ms of main-thread work and 348 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.
Main-thread work: 2.6 s
A phone's processor spends 2.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
9 long tasks on the main thread
9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 226 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 79 but mobile only 45. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.
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.

Server response: 4 ms
4 msYour server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
First Contentful Paint: 9.3 s
9.3 sThe first text or image appears after 9.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 21.6 s
21.6 sYour largest element takes 21.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “slide:”.
Time to Interactive: 22.8 s
22.8 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 22.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 9.8 s
9.8 sVisually, the page fills in at 9.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Tap response (INP) got 32% slower for real visitors
+32%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 94 ms to 126 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
42 images without width and height
42 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Total Blocking Time: 454 ms
454 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 454 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
+2%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.1 s to 1.1 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors
Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).
Real-user LCP: 1.4 s
1.4 sReal visitors wait 1.4 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.
Real-user INP: 135 ms
135 msReal visitors wait 135 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.9 MB in 144 requests
4.9 MBYour homepage downloads 4.9 MB in 144 requests on a phone: images 2.2 MB (54), scripts 2.2 MB (41) and fonts 172 KiB (3). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
14 images in older formats
14 images (2.0 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 (199 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.4 g of CO₂ per visit
1.38 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.38 g of CO₂e: 165.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
40 text elements with low contrast
40 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
2 tap targets too small
2 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
Frames without titles
1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.
Malformed lists
Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (21 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 21 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
2 form fields without a label
2 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.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 51 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
37 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 44 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 37 passed and 7 failed. 2 mores 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 canonical URL
No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.
Open Graph partly set
Open Graph is missing og:title and og:description, so shared links fall back to guesses.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
138 internal links, 5 external
The homepage links to 138 pages on k-bid.com and 5 external pages.
5 checks passed
Meta description: 141 characters
Your meta description is 141 characters: “Online auctions for equipment, estates, vehicles, collectibles, and more. Thousands of new items added every day - find…”.
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Start Bidding Online”.
Title: 52 characters
Your title is a healthy 52 characters: “Online Auctions | Bid, Buy & Sell Nationwide | K-BID”.
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://a297123.sitemaphosting6.com/4345361/sitemap_4345361.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 (616 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
3 pages without an H1
/auction/list, /contact and /items/category have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 80 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

2 broken images
2 images failed to load on a phone, for example https://bmqjor.k-bid.com/g/uids?pld=_JOpuFI98MtQcntAzFnytWgWCq_I2d5OQMjk6slzQGGSwULroKLG2P01BxgXl0SgNB5HeED9Fm2fOmPTCj514c-HYvGRkA9rRs9nb0oed5YTIcDUElsMX9O5vz_EG3uBdjLI1g6VjV2mxbzbCU3z4Z1vhuNwznwQfQEn.
11 small tap targets
11 of 38 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
6 third-party cookies
6 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.
1 JavaScript error while loading
1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_TUNNEL_CONNECTION_FAILED”.
2 low-resolution images
2 images are served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.
Browser-reported issues
Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
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.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 2 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
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 625 words of copy
The homepage carries about 625 words of visible text.
6 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Learn More.” and “Try Dark Mode”.
6 calls to action
The homepage has 6 calls to action, for example “Contact”, “Register For Free Account” and “Learn More.”.
2 short forms
2 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.
Direct contact links
Visitors can reach you directly: 2 phone links and 1 email link.
Phone number on the homepage
Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.
Privacy and tracking
8 trackers load before any consent
8Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Criteo, Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Meta Pixel and 3 mores (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.
16 cookies set on arrival
16Opening the homepage sets 16 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (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.
42 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 42 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 k-bid.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
