Speed

9 to fix61
  • Improve image delivery

    19.4 s · 6.1 MB

    19 images could be 6.1 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 19.4 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    3.0 s

    57 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.0 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 61

    61/100

    Your mobile performance score is 61 (desktop: 68). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    150 ms · 772 KiB

    About 772 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Google/Doubleclick Ads and Clarity and others), adding 1.2 MB and 556 ms of main-thread time.

  • Font display

    550 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 550 ms).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    450 ms · 95 KiB

    About 95 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 378 ms

    378 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 378 ms of main-thread work and 862 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: 2.3 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    150 ms · 28 KiB

    4 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (28 KiB).

  • 8 long tasks on the main thread

    8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 71 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    8 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 8 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 52 ms

    52 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 52 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

9 to fix50
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

  • Real-user FCP: 3.1 s

    3.1 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 3.1 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 2.7 s

    2.7 s

    Real visitors wait 2.7 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 31.2 s

    31.2 s

    Your largest element takes 31.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “WebSlings_cropped”.

  • Time to Interactive: 31.2 s

    31.2 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 31.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 7.8 s

    7.8 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 7.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 3.5 s

    3.5 s

    The first text or image appears after 3.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user LCP: 3.3 s

    3.3 s

    Real visitors wait 3.3 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 59% slower for real visitors

    +59%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.2 s to 3.3 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

4 checks passed
  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Tap response (INP) got 45% faster for real visitors

    -45%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 261 ms to 137 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Total Blocking Time: 67 ms

    67 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 67 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix33
  • Page weight: 12.5 MB in 190 requests

    12.5 MB

    Your homepage downloads 12.5 MB in 190 requests on a phone: images 10.5 MB (35), scripts 1.6 MB (81) and stylesheets 198 KiB (51). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 3.5 g of CO₂ per visit

    3.54 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.54 g of CO₂e: 425.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

4 to fixGoogle 9182
  • 1 text element with low contrast

    1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • No main landmark

    The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 5 tap targets too small

    5 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 17 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 9 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 12 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 9 passed and 3 failed. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 10088
  • Title is long (70 characters)

    Your title is 70 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Kennedy Wire Rope & Sling Co. – Superior Rigging. Exceptional Service.”.

  • 5 H1 headlines

    There are 5 <h1> headlines (“Synthetic Slings”, “Wire Rope Slings” and “Rigging Hardware”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • 129 internal links, 6 external

    The homepage links to 129 pages on kwrs.com and 6 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 151 characters

    Your meta description is 151 characters: “Since 1979, Kennedy Wire Rope & Sling Co. provides wire rope, rigging hardware, slings, and fall protection solutions a…”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://kwrs.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, ImageObject, Organization, WebPage and WebSite.

  • Open Graph tags complete

    Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.

  • 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://kwrs.com/sitemap_index.xml.

AI search readiness

100
3 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.

  • Organization data: 4 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (3 KiB, 27 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 1 page without a meta description

    /product-category/brands has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 53 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    7 pages of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 7 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9692
  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 429 ()”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

1 to fix93
  • No Content-Security-Policy

    No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • No clickjacking protection

    Neither X-Frame-Options nor a CSP frame-ancestors policy is set, so any site can embed yours in a frame.

  • No X-Content-Type-Options

    X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.

  • No Referrer-Policy

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

  • No Permissions-Policy

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

  • No security.txt

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

6 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (kwrs.com).

  • Valid certificate (60 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WR1 verifies for kwrs.com and is valid for another 60 days.

  • HSTS enabled

    Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://kwrs.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2

    The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.

  • All 43 links work

    All 43 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 3 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    kwrs.com has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.

  • DNSSEC is off

    kwrs.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.

2 checks passed
  • Domain is 28 years old

    28 years

    kwrs.com was registered in Apr 1998 through Network Solutions, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Apr 2034

    kwrs.com is registered until Apr 2034.

Content and conversion

3 to fix64
  • 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 social proof

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

  • Only about 33 words

    The homepage has only about 33 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • 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.

4 checks passed
  • 10 calls to action

    The homepage has 10 calls to action, for example “Shop All”, “Shop Now” and “SHOP BY CATEGORY”.

  • 2 short forms

    2 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 0 phone links and 1 email link.

Email authentication

1 to fix75
  • DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

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

  • Email authentication score: 75/100

    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.

2 checks passed
  • SPF with a strict ending (-all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com -all”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1” and “selector2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • No known trackers before consent

    No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).
