Speed

10 to fix54
  • Improve image delivery

    9.9 s · 2.0 MB

    3 images could be 2.0 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 9.9 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.9 s · 522 KiB

    12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (522 KiB).

  • Render-blocking requests

    2.1 s

    28 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.1 s.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.5 s · 386 KiB

    About 386 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.5 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 54

    54/100

    Your mobile performance score is 54 (desktop: 65). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Hubspot, Facebook and hsappstatic.net and others), adding 1.0 MB and 494 ms of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    300 ms · 81 KiB

    About 81 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.

  • Main-thread work: 3.6 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Hubspot adds 192 ms

    192 ms

    Hubspot costs a phone 192 ms of main-thread work and 377 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.

  • 1,614 HTML elements

    The page has 1,614 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • 8 long tasks on the main thread

    8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 192 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).

  • Legacy JavaScript

    12 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 12 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • 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

    2 KiB

    2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 33 ms

    33 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 33 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix62
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 29.6 s

    29.6 s

    Your largest element takes 29.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Break Free From Black Hole IT | Mountain Leverage’s approac…”.

  • Time to Interactive: 31.5 s

    31.5 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 31.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 5.4 s

    5.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 5.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 7.9 s

    7.9 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 7.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 227 ms

    227 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 227 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.056

    0.056

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.056, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 6.1 MB in 139 requests

    6.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 6.1 MB in 139 requests on a phone: images 4.2 MB (22), scripts 1.3 MB (55) and fonts 257 KiB (4). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 4 images in older formats

    4 images (479 KiB) 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 1.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.72 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.72 g of CO₂e: 206.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • 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

5 to fixGoogle 9694
  • 5 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Form elements should have a visible label (1 element)

    Form elements should have a visible label: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (7 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 7 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.

  • ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (1 element)

    ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h4 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.

  • 49 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: 49 passed and 6 failed. 5 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 10083
  • Title is long (76 characters)

    Your title is 76 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Warehouse Work Orchestration™ and Optimization Solutions | Mountain Leverage”.

  • 2 H1 headlines

    There are 2 <h1> headlines (“Break free from” and “”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • Meta description is long (187 characters)

    Your meta description is 187 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 104 internal links, 17 external

    The homepage links to 104 pages on mountainleverage.com and 17 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.mountainleverage.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, ImageObject, Organization, 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://www.mountainleverage.com/sitemap_index.xml.

AI search readiness

100
4 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 (1,030 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://www.mountainleverage.com/llms.txt (4 KiB, 0 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 1 link to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example https://www.mountainleverage.com/contact, whose canonical is https://www.mountainleverage.com/contact-us. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 3 pages slow to respond

    https://www.mountainleverage.com/manufacturing, https://www.mountainleverage.com/maintenance-and-inspection and https://www.mountainleverage.com/contact took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 32 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 7391
  • 1 third-party cookie

  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

  • Browser-reported issues

    17 of 17 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • 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.

  • 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 596 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 596 words of visible text.

7 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Get in Touch”.

  • 3 short forms

    3 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Phone number on the homepage

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

Privacy and tracking

  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

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

  • 7 cookies set on arrival

    7

    Opening the homepage sets 7 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 22 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 22 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed

Security, domain, email and software versions
