lithosupply.com website review

5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.

About 266 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

Shopify costs a phone 116 ms of main-thread work and 617 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.

6 third-party services load with your homepage (Clarity, Shopify and Mailchimp and others), adding 752 KiB and 248 ms of main-thread time.

3 images could be 146 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 63 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

16 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (43 KiB).

About 12 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

The page becomes fully interactive after 7.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Your largest element takes 3.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “USA-built 23" programmable hydraulic cutter. We have 1 unit…”.

Your homepage downloads 2.1 MB in 295 requests on a phone: other files 884 KiB (144), scripts 709 KiB (113) and images 250 KiB (7). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.58 g of CO₂e: 69.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

23 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

There are 4 <h1> headlines (“”, “In stock now:Challenge Titan 230 Pro.” and “Perfect binding,book-of-one ready.”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

The homepage links to 170 pages on lithosupply.com and 14 external pages.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 71 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

2 links go through two or more redirects, for example https://midstatelitho.com/account/login.

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

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

X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.

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

midstatelitho.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.

midstatelitho.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.

Social proof on the homepage: “30+ brands”. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

Your longest form asks for 10 fields (7 required). Every extra field lowers completion.

The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

The homepage carries about 1,221 words of visible text.

We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.

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.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel and Microsoft Ads and 1 more (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.

Opening the homepage sets 12 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

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.

Loading the homepage contacts 23 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
