Speed

11 to fix55
  • Render-blocking requests

    6.5 s

    33 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 6.5 s.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    3.6 s · 752 KiB

    About 752 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.6 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    2.2 s · 402 KiB

    15 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (402 KiB).

  • Mobile performance score: 55

    55/100

    Your mobile performance score is 55 (desktop: 73). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Improve image delivery

    150 ms · 774 KiB

    5 images could be 774 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, ContentSquare and Google CDN and others), adding 1.3 MB and 631 ms of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    300 ms · 70 KiB

    About 70 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.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 221 ms

    221 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 221 ms of main-thread work and 467 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: 2.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 1,997 HTML elements

    The page has 1,997 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Google CDN adds 96 ms

    96 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 96 ms of main-thread work and 347 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 · 29 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 29 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 11 long tasks on the main thread

    11 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 121 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web 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

    5 KiB

    5 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Minify JavaScript

    2 KiB

    2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Server response: 8 ms

    8 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 8 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix66
  • First Contentful Paint: 12.4 s

    12.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 12.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 26.5 s

    26.5 s

    Your largest element takes 26.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Make your connected products your competitive advantage. Me…”.

  • Time to Interactive: 26.7 s

    26.7 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 26.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 12.4 s

    12.4 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 12.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Total Blocking Time: 94 ms

    94 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 94 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

2 to fix60
  • Page weight: 4.1 MB in 148 requests

    4.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.1 MB in 148 requests on a phone: scripts 1.6 MB (49), fonts 1.2 MB (10) and images 1.1 MB (19). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image far larger than shown

    34 KiB

    1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example f-real-ON-TOP-logo-colour-on-light-bg-1-LCzwc2.png-e17459434 at 390 px wide, shown at 96 px. Resized copies would save about 34 KiB.

  • About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.15 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.15 g of CO₂e: 138.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 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.

Accessibility

4 to fixGoogle 9595
  • 14 text elements with low contrast

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (6 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Headings should not be empty (1 element)

    Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h5, h2 → h5 and h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 18 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 44 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: 44 passed and 5 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

Google 100100
  • 114 internal links, 3 external

    The homepage links to 114 pages on meshsystems.com and 3 external pages.

8 checks passed
  • Meta description: 133 characters

  • XML sitemap found

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

AI search readiness

100
  • 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 (1,842 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

100

Best practices

  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “elementorFrontend.waypoint is not a function”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    21 of 22 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix86
  • 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.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 7 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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 525 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 525 words of visible text.

  • Analytics in place

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link 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

  • 5 trackers load before any consent

    5

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, HubSpot and LinkedIn Insight (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (HubSpot cookie banner) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 17 cookies set on arrival

    17

    Opening the homepage sets 17 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 33 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 33 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: HubSpot cookie banner

    A consent management tool (HubSpot cookie banner) loads with the page.

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 meshsystems.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
