One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Render-blocking requests
3.9 s34 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.9 s.
Improve image delivery
3.0 s · 777 KiB12 images could be 777 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.0 s faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.9 s · 395 KiBAbout 395 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.9 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 35
35/100Your mobile performance score is 35 (desktop: 26). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 4.0 s
A phone's processor spends 4.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Facebook and userway.org and others), adding 1.2 MB and 1.4 s of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
800 ms · 272 KiB12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (272 KiB).
Google Tag Manager adds 735 ms
735 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 735 ms of main-thread work and 474 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.
Facebook adds 381 ms
381 msFacebook costs a phone 381 ms of main-thread work and 220 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.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 63 KiBAbout 63 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
10 long tasks on the main thread
10 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 262 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
userway.org adds 99 ms
99 msuserway.org costs a phone 99 ms of main-thread work and 408 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
150 ms · 46 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 46 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Minify JavaScript
150 ms · 20 KiB20 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
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
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

3.4 MBYour homepage downloads 3.4 MB in 119 requests on a phone: images 1.8 MB (39), scripts 1.1 MB (37) and other files 296 KiB (17). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit
0.96 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.96 g of CO₂e: 115.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
23 tap targets too small
23 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
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.
lang attribute must have a valid value (1 element)
lang attribute must have a valid value: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
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.
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.
8 links without text
8 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 26 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
43 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 50 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 43 passed and 7 failed. 3 mores 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.
Title is long (93 characters)
Your title is 93 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Mastercool Inc., Manufacturer of Air Conditioning, Refrigeration, Service Tools and Equip…”.
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.
142 internal links, 8 external
The homepage links to 142 pages on mastercool.com and 8 external pages.
5 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://mastercool.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://www.mastercool.com/sitemap_index.xml.
AI search readiness
No llms.txt
There is no /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.
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.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (731 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
16 pages share a title
/, /about-us, /trade-shows, /software-updates, /support/videos and /helpful-links and 10 others all use the title “Mastercool Inc., Manufacturer of Air Conditioning, Refrigeration, Ser…”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
15 pages without a meta description
/about-us, /trade-shows, /software-updates, /support/videos, /helpful-links and /support/technical-assistance and 9 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 link to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example /product-registration-warranty, whose canonical is /warranty. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
12 pages without an H1
/about-us, /trade-shows, /software-updates, /support/videos, /helpful-links and /support/technical-assistance and 6 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
3 pages slow to respond
/product-category/automotive-products, /product-category/automotive-products/blower-fans and /product-category/automotive-products/brake-line-tools took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 110 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
3 checks passed
Linked pages load
All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.
No linked page is hidden from search
None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.
Every page has a title
All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.
Best practices
15 small tap targets
15 of 26 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
2 JavaScript errors while loading
2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://data.stbuttons.click/data' from origin 'https://mastercool.com' has been blocked b…”.
4 low-resolution images
4 images are served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
No HSTS header
No Strict-Transport-Security header, so browsers may still try plain http first on a return visit.
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.
5 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (mastercool.com).
Valid certificate (68 days left)
The certificate from SSL Corporation · Cloudflare TLS Issuing ECC CA 3 verifies for mastercool.com and is valid for another 68 days.
http:// redirects to https
http://mastercool.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2 and HTTP/3
The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.
All 48 links work
All 48 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 8 external) answered without errors; 6 did not answer within 5 s.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
mastercool.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
mastercool.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 29 years old
29 yearsmastercool.com was registered in Oct 1997 through Network Solutions, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Oct 2028
mastercool.com is registered until Oct 2028.
Content and conversion
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.
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 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 272 words of copy
The homepage carries about 272 words of visible text.
5 checks passed
6 calls to action
The homepage has 6 calls to action, for example “Return Request Form”, “Request a Catalog” and “Filter Code Request”.
1 short form
A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics.
Direct contact links
Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 2 email links.
Phone number on the homepage
Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.
Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be mastercool.com is still delivered. Add a report address, check the reports, then move to quarantine.
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 “k2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
5 trackers load before any consent
