Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
11.9 s · 2.7 MBAbout 2.7 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 11.9 s faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
3.6 s · 1.3 MB9 images could be 1.3 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.6 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
4.6 s3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 4.6 s.
Reduce unused CSS
3.8 s · 758 KiBAbout 758 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.8 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 40
40/100Your mobile performance score is 40. 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 (Google Tag Manager, Facebook and Clarity and others), adding 1.3 MB and 1.3 s of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.3 MB35 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.3 MB).
Google Tag Manager adds 886 ms
886 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 886 ms of main-thread work and 852 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: 2.9 s
A phone's processor spends 2.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
14 long tasks on the main thread
14 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 276 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Facebook adds 216 ms
216 msFacebook costs a phone 216 ms of main-thread work and 306 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
200 ms · 76 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 76 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.
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.

Core Web Vitals
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.
Largest Contentful Paint: 30.0 s
30.0 sYour largest element takes 30.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.
Time to Interactive: 42.8 s
42.8 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 42.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
First Contentful Paint: 5.1 s
5.1 sThe first text or image appears after 5.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Speed Index: 10.3 s
10.3 sVisually, the page fills in at 10.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Total Blocking Time: 686 ms
686 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 686 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Tap response (INP) got 28% slower for real visitors
+28%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 120 ms to 155 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Real-user FCP: 2.0 s
2.0 sReal visitors see the first content after 2.0 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
3 images without width and height
3 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
+7%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.1 s to 2.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
Page weight: 7.6 MB in 154 requests
7.6 MBYour homepage downloads 7.6 MB in 154 requests on a phone: scripts 4.4 MB (26), images 1.9 MB (42) and stylesheets 788 KiB (3). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
7 images in older formats
7 images (819 KiB) 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.
4 images below the first screen load straight away
4 images further down the page (540 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 2.2 g of CO₂ per visit
2.17 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.17 g of CO₂e: 260.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility

Images must have alternative text: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.
1 text element with low contrast

40 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 49 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 40 passed and 9 failed. 1 more 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.
Title is short (27 characters)
Your title is only 27 characters: “Lakeshore Recycling Systems”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
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.
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.
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.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
3 checks passed
Meta description: 120 characters
Your meta description is 120 characters: “LRS leads in waste and recycling services for businesses and communities across the Midwest. Find services in your area.”.
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://www.lrsrecycles.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
Most text only appears after JavaScript runs
0%A phone browser shows 393 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.
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.lrsrecycles.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.
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.
Best practices
2 broken images
2 images failed to load on a phone, for example https://ad.ipredictive.com/d/track/event?upid=108644&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lrsrecycles.com%2F&cache_buster=[timestamp]&ps=2.
5 JavaScript errors while loading

Missing source maps
Large scripts ship without source maps.
2 checks passed
Tap targets are thumb-sized
16 of 19 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
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 form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
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 393 words of copy
The homepage carries about 393 words of visible text.
1 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “ORDER DUMPSTERS” and “ORDER PORTABLE RESTROOMS”.
Privacy and tracking
7 trackers load before any consent
7Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel and Microsoft Ads and 2 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.
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.
32 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 32 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 lrsrecycles.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
