Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
7.0 s · 1.1 MB29 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.1 MB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
4.2 s · 818 KiBAbout 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
41/100Your 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 msGoogle 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 msbotframework.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 KiBPolyfills 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 ms5 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 KiB29 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).
Reduce unused CSS
32 KiBAbout 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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 8.3 MB in 125 requests
8.3 MBYour 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 gBy 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 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
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
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
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
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
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
7 trackers load before any consent
7Before 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
15Opening 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.
