Speed

8 to fix54
  • Improve image delivery

    25.0 s · 14.2 MB

    22 images could be 14.2 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 25.0 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    4.6 s · 832 KiB

    26 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (832 KiB).

  • Render-blocking requests

    3.7 s

    22 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.7 s.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    1.6 s · 307 KiB

    About 307 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.6 s faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.1 s · 192 KiB

    About 192 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 54

    54/100

    Your mobile performance score is 54. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 240 ms

    240 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 240 ms of main-thread work and 304 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.

  • 4 long tasks on the main thread

    4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 267 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 3 third-party services on the page

    3 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Google Fonts and Google Analytics), adding 411 KiB and 243 ms of main-thread time.

  • Font display

    200 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 200 ms).

  • Legacy JavaScript

    10 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 10 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.

  • Forced reflow

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

  • Minify CSS

    5 KiB

    5 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Minify JavaScript

    2 KiB

    2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.3 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 695 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 2 ms

    2 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 2 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix56
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 33.8 s

    33.8 s

    Your largest element takes 33.8 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: 33.8 s

    33.8 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 33.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 3.9 s

    3.9 s

    The first text or image appears after 3.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 5.2 s

    5.2 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 391 ms

    391 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 391 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 16 images without width and height

    16 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.

1 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

5 to fix18
  • Page weight: 19.5 MB in 72 requests

    19.5 MB

    Your homepage downloads 19.5 MB in 72 requests on a phone: images 18.4 MB (34), scripts 428 KiB (14) and stylesheets 339 KiB (10). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image over 500 KB

    quarry.png weighs 2.5 MB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 7 images far larger than shown

    1.9 MB

    7 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example quarry.png at 1,678 px wide, shown at 358 px. Resized copies would save about 1.9 MB.

  • 11 images in older formats

    11 images (3.6 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.

  • 11 images below the first screen load straight away

    11 images further down the page (1.3 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 5.5 g of CO₂ per visit

    5.52 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 5.52 g of CO₂e: 661.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

5 to fixGoogle 9193
  • Heading levels should only increase by one (1 element)

    Heading levels should only increase by one: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 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.

  • 3 links without text

    3 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • 1 form field without a label

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

  • Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (5 elements)

    Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 5 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 17 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 32 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 36 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 32 passed and 4 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

7 to fixGoogle 8370
  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • Title is short (6 characters)

    Your title is only 6 characters: “Martin”. 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.

  • 15 links with vague text

    15 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

  • 1 link crawlers can't follow

    1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

  • 167 internal links, 9 external

    The homepage links to 167 pages on martinsprocket.com and 9 external pages.

3 checks passed
  • Meta description: 145 characters

    Your meta description is 145 characters: “Martin Sprocket &amp; Gear manufactures Power Transmission, and Material Handling Solutions. Offering vast inventories …”.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://martinsprocket.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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://martinsprocket.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.

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 (1,002 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

3 to fix83
  • 13 pages share a title

    /, https://martinsprocket.com/view/resourcespage/customerlogin, https://martinsprocket.com/view/companypage/msg-careers, https://martinsprocket.com/ProductSelection/ProductSelection, https://martinsprocket.com/view/companypage/contact-us/request-a-quote and https://martinsprocket.com/view/home and 7 others all use the title “Martin”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 6 pages without a meta description

    https://martinsprocket.com/view/companypage/msg-careers, https://martinsprocket.com/ProductSelection/ProductSelection, https://martinsprocket.com/view/companypage/contact-us/request-a-quote, https://martinsprocket.com/view/companypage/company, https://martinsprocket.com/view/companypage/code and https://martinsprocket.com/view/productselection/productselection have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 page without an H1

    https://martinsprocket.com/view/home has 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 70 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

4 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

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

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 12 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 7791
  • 17 small tap targets

    17 of 26 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • Deprecated browser APIs

    The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Synchronous `XMLHttpRequest` on the main thread is deprecated because of its detrimental effects to…”).

  • 1 low-resolution image

    1 image is served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.

2 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix79
  • 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.

  • 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.

  • About 873 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 873 words of visible text.

5 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “CONTACT” and “REQUEST A QUOTE”.

  • 21 calls to action

    The homepage has 21 calls to action, for example “Request a quote”, “Contact” and “General Info Request”.

  • 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

1 to fix
  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, 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.

  • 4 cookies set on arrival

    4

    Opening the homepage sets 4 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 martinsprocket.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
