Speed

11 to fix51
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.2 s · 637 KiB

    About 637 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.2 s faster on a phone.

  • Main-thread work: 4.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 4.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Improve image delivery

    150 ms · 2.6 MB

    32 images could be 2.6 MB 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.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    800 ms · 1.2 MB

    30 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.2 MB).

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Reviews.io, Stripe and Klaviyo and others), adding 1.4 MB and 1.0 s of main-thread time.

  • Mobile performance score: 51

    51/100

    Your mobile performance score is 51. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Render-blocking requests

    450 ms

    2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.

  • Reviews.io adds 330 ms

    330 ms

    Reviews.io costs a phone 330 ms of main-thread work and 398 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.

  • Stripe adds 219 ms

    219 ms

    Stripe costs a phone 219 ms of main-thread work and 303 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.

  • Klaviyo adds 141 ms

    141 ms

    Klaviyo costs a phone 141 ms of main-thread work and 305 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.

  • 1,529 HTML elements

    The page has 1,529 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 57 KiB

    About 57 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.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 47 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 47 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 13 long tasks on the main thread

    13 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 159 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 16 ms

    16 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 16 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

9 to fix67
  • 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.

  • Real-user LCP: 4.6 s

    4.6 s

    Real visitors wait 4.6 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user FCP: 3.8 s

    3.8 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 3.8 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 3.7 s

    3.7 s

    Real visitors wait 3.7 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 11.6 s

    11.6 s

    Your largest element takes 11.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 21.3 s

    21.3 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 21.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 12.1 s

    12.1 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 12.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 35% slower for real visitors

    +35%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.4 s to 4.6 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Total Blocking Time: 453 ms

    453 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 453 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) got 12% slower for real visitors

    +12%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 189 ms to 211 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

4 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 196 ms

    196 ms

    Real visitors wait 196 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.06

    0.06

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.06 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.094

    0.094

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.094, good is under 0.1).

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.3 s

    1.3 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.3 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

Images and page weight

4 to fix33
  • Page weight: 5.7 MB in 302 requests

    5.7 MB

    Your homepage downloads 5.7 MB in 302 requests on a phone: images 3.3 MB (51), scripts 1.8 MB (110) and other files 295 KiB (119). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 15 images far larger than shown

    2.1 MB

    15 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example 1080 at 1,080 px wide, shown at 113 px. Resized copies would save about 2.1 MB.

  • 12 images below the first screen load straight away

    12 images further down the page (1.9 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • 6 images in older formats

    6 images (1.2 MB) are JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.

  • About 1.6 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.61 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.61 g of CO₂e: 193.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

9 to fixGoogle 8188
  • 10 buttons without a name

    10 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • 43 tap targets too small

    43 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • 21 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)

    Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 38 images without alt text

    38 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • 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.

  • Heading levels should only increase by one (1 element)

    Heading levels should only increase by one: 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.

  • 1 form field without a label

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

1 checks passed
  • 50 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 58 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 8 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 9276
  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • Title is long (69 characters)

    Your title is 69 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Motion RC | Radio Control Airplanes, Boats, Cars, Helicopters, Trucks”.

  • Meta description is long (313 characters)

    Your meta description is 313 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.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.

  • 97 internal links, 15 external

    The homepage links to 97 pages on motionrc.com and 15 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization.

  • 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://motionrc.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://motionrc.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.

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 contact details; sameAs (social profiles) and description would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (723 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

4 to fix81
  • 4 pages share 2 titles

    / and https://motionrc.com/eu all use the title “Motion RC | Radio Control Airplanes, Boats, Cars, Helicopters, Trucks”, and 1 other title repeat too. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 2 pages without a meta description

    https://motionrc.com/parts-finder and https://motionrc.com/apps/iwish have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 2 pages share a meta description

    https://motionrc.com/pages/help-center and https://motionrc.com/eu use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 2 pages without an H1

    https://motionrc.com/eu and https://motionrc.com/blogs/motion-rc-blog have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 5 pages slow to respond

    https://motionrc.com/blogs/motion-rc-blog, https://motionrc.com/pages/affirm, https://motionrc.com/pages/become-a-dealer, https://motionrc.com/pages/hobby-squawk-forum and https://motionrc.com/apps/iwish took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 38 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

4 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • 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

3 to fixGoogle 7385
  • 41 small tap targets

    41 of 90 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 1 third-party cookie

    1 third-party cookie is set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://cdn.luigisbox.tech/autocomplete.css' from origin 'https://motionrc.com' has been b…”.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

1 to fix94
  • 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.

  • About 1,070 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,070 words of visible text.

8 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “SHOP HERE”.

  • 4 calls to action

    The homepage has 4 calls to action, for example “Sign In / Sign Up” and “Contact Us”.

  • 1 short form

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

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 5 customer or partner logos and 1 trust badge.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Clarity and Cloudflare Web Analytics.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 0 email links.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.

  • Risk reducer mentioned

    A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.

Privacy and tracking

  • 5 trackers load before any consent

    5

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Criteo, Google Ads, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Microsoft Clarity (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (Termly) 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).

  • 37 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 37 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: Termly

    A consent management tool (Termly) 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 motionrc.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
