Speed
Improve image delivery
1.4 s · 256 KiB6 images could be 256 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.4 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 67
67/100Your mobile performance score is 67. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
450 ms · 186 KiB46 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (186 KiB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
450 ms · 69 KiBAbout 69 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
300 ms11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 300 ms.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 10 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 10 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
5 third-party services on the page
5 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Cloudflare and Google CDN and others), adding 190 KiB and 131 ms of main-thread time.
2 long tasks on the main thread
2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 86 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
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.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 0.3 s
A phone's processor spends 0.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 150 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 3 ms
3 msYour server sent the HTML in 3 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 10.1 s
10.1 sYour largest element takes 10.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Time to Interactive: 10.1 s
10.1 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 10.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 5.4 s
5.4 sVisually, the page fills in at 5.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
First Contentful Paint: 2.6 s
2.6 sThe first text or image appears after 2.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
4 images without width and height
4 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Not enough real-visitor data yet
Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.
2 checks passed
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Total Blocking Time: 37 ms
37 msScripts block the page for only 37 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
7 images in older formats
7 images (1.6 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.
2 images far larger than shown
16 KiB2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example Slider-Truck.jpg at 1,200 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 16 KiB.
About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit
0.56 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.56 g of CO₂e: 67.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Page weight: 2.0 MB in 54 requests
2.0 MBYour homepage downloads 2.0 MB in 54 requests on a phone: images 1.7 MB (28), scripts 238 KiB (15) and fonts 14 KiB (1). That is a lean page.
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Accessibility
1 image without alt text
1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (4 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)
Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
1 checks passed
17 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 22 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 17 passed and 5 failed. 1 more 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.
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
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.
1 link with vague text
1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
23 internal links, 1 external
The homepage links to 23 pages on katanainc.com and 1 external page.
4 checks passed
Title: 56 characters
Your title is a healthy 56 characters: “Katana, Inc. | Refrigerated Transportation and Logistics”.

robots.txt is in place.
XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.katanainc.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 https://www.katanainc.com/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.
Opted out of AI training for 5 crawlers
robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended and CCBot, which collect pages to train models. That's a legitimate choice and doesn't by itself stop the site appearing in AI answers, which the crawlers above handle.
1 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.
Other pages
7 pages without a meta description
https://www.katanainc.com/about-us, https://www.katanainc.com/logistics, https://www.katanainc.com/careers, https://www.katanainc.com/contact, https://www.katanainc.com/2019/09/19/for-everything-there-is-a-season and https://www.katanainc.com/2015/09/01/is-springtime-around-the-corner-yet and 1 other have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
3 pages with very little text
https://www.katanainc.com/logistics, https://www.katanainc.com/contact and https://www.katanainc.com/2019/09/19/for-everything-there-is-a-season have under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

2 low-resolution images

Browser-reported issues
Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Mixed content”).
1 checks passed

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.
Only about 72 words
The homepage has only about 72 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
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.
5 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Apply Today!”.
7 calls to action

Analytics detected: Google Analytics and Cloudflare Web Analytics.
Direct contact links
Visitors can reach you directly: 2 phone links and 0 email links.
Phone number on the homepage
Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.
Privacy and tracking
2 trackers load before any consent
2Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (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.
2 cookies set on arrival
2Opening the homepage sets 2 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.
6 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 6 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 katanainc.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
