Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.3 s · 269 KiBAbout 269 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.3 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.4 s13 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.
Mobile performance score: 71
71/100Your mobile performance score is 71. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Main-thread work: 2.1 s
A phone's processor spends 2.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 501 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
2,025 HTML elements
The page has 2,025 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Shopify adds 109 ms
109 msShopify costs a phone 109 ms of main-thread work and 348 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.
5 third-party services on the page
5 third-party services load with your homepage (growave.io, Shopify and Google Fonts and others), adding 543 KiB and 239 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 30 KiBAbout 30 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 93 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
40 KiB2 images could be 40 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
2 KiB2 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (2 KiB).

Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 8.2 s
8.2 sYour largest element takes 8.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Time to Interactive: 8.2 s
8.2 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 8.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 4.2 s
4.2 sVisually, the page fills in at 4.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
First Contentful Paint: 2.0 s
2.0 sThe first text or image appears after 2.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 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: 100 ms
100 msScripts block the page for only 100 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
20251124142139_10_219_170x.jpg is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
About 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit
0.53 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.53 g of CO₂e: 63.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Page weight: 1.9 MB in 184 requests
1.9 MBYour homepage downloads 1.9 MB in 184 requests on a phone: other files 771 KiB (94), scripts 628 KiB (43) and images 197 KiB (6). That is a lean page.
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
1 button without a name
1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
ARIA commands must have an accessible name (2 elements)
ARIA commands must have an accessible name: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
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.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (19 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 19 elements on the page fail 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.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3 and h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 10 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
50 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 55 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 5 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (73 characters)
Your title is 73 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Professional manufacturer of microchannel reactors – Microchannel Reactor”.
Meta description is long (307 characters)
Your meta description is 307 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
No favicon declared
No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.
47 internal links, 0 external
The homepage links to 47 pages on microchannelreactor.com and 0 external pages.
6 checks passed

Canonical URL set

Structured data in place
Structured data found: Organization and WebSite.

robots.txt in place

XML sitemap found

AI search readiness
Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)
Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.
No llms.txt
There is no https://www.microchannelreactor.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 (831 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Content and conversion
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
No risk reducer
