Speed

10 to fix41
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    7.0 s · 1.1 MB

    29 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.1 MB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    4.2 s · 818 KiB

    About 818 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.2 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 41

    41/100

    Your mobile performance score is 41. 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, botframework.com and omappapi.com and others), adding 1.9 MB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 462 ms

    462 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 462 ms of main-thread work and 715 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.

  • botframework.com adds 330 ms

    330 ms

    botframework.com costs a phone 330 ms of main-thread work and 944 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.

  • 8 long tasks on the main thread

    8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 378 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    300 ms · 28 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 28 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    300 ms

    5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 300 ms.

  • Main-thread work: 2.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Minify JavaScript

    160 ms · 29 KiB

    29 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    32 KiB

    About 32 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 44 ms

    44 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 44 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

8 to fix100
  • 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.

  • First Contentful Paint: 8.3 s

    8.3 s

    The first text or image appears after 8.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 19.9 s

    19.9 s

    Your largest element takes 19.9 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: 19.9 s

    19.9 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 19.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 8.3 s

    8.3 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 8.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 644 ms

    644 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 644 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    Real visitors wait 1.4 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • 1 image without width and height

    1 image have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

6 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 1.8 s

    1.8 s

    Real visitors wait 1.8 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

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

  • Real-user FCP: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.7 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Tap response (INP) got 23% faster for real visitors

    -23%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 296 ms to 208 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 40% faster for real visitors

    -40%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.3 s to 2.1 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 8.3 MB in 125 requests

    8.3 MB

    Your homepage downloads 8.3 MB in 125 requests on a phone: media 5.9 MB (1), scripts 2.1 MB (57) and HTML 153 KiB (9). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 2.4 g of CO₂ per visit

    2.36 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.36 g of CO₂e: 283.0 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

3 to fixGoogle 9295
  • 3 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes (1 element)

    Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 1 form field without a label

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

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 55 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 45 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 43 passed and 2 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 8591
  • 2 H1 headlines

    There are 2 <h1> headlines (“Connecting you to modern manufacturing and distri…” and “Connect with a partner that gets you”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • 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.

  • 103 internal links, 2 external

    The homepage links to 103 pages on mcaconnect.com and 2 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 133 characters

    Your meta description is 133 characters: “Through passion and deep industry expertise, we help manufacturers succeed by unlocking innovation with actionable busi…”.

  • Title: 52 characters

    Your title is a healthy 52 characters: “MCA Connect - Connecting you to modern manufacturing”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, ImageObject, 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://mcaconnect.com/sitemap_index.xml.

AI search readiness

2 to fix70
  • 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.

  • Parts of the site are closed to 2 AI crawlers

    Your robots.txt lets ChatGPT (ChatGPT-User) and Perplexity (PerplexityBot) read the homepage but closes other sections to them, so answers about those pages can't cite you.

2 checks passed
  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,113 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (7 KiB, 31 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

2 to fix70
  • 1 linked page is broken

    Your homepage links to /services, which answers with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop it.

  • 1 page without a meta description

    /strategic-services 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 68 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • 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 14 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9678
  • 1 broken image

    1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=187176188&Ver=2&mid=142a423e-b39b-4da7-bc4b-6e65d7add57d&bo=1&sid=daca8bd0d3cc11f18fd81d7fc187842e&vid=dacac1b0d3cc11f1a63f2b1401e24fd9&vids=1&msclkid=N&pi=918639831&l.

  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    5 of 6 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

4 to fix75
  • 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 phone number on the homepage

    A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 3 customer or partner logos. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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 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 864 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 864 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Learn More”.

  • 15 calls to action

    The homepage has 15 calls to action, for example “Real-Time Shop Floor Intelligence”, “Order Management” and “Contact”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: LinkedIn Insight.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 7 trackers load before any consent

    7

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, LinkedIn Insight 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.

  • 15 cookies set on arrival

    15

    Opening the homepage sets 15 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.

  • 28 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 28 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 mcaconnect.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
