Speed

14 to fix30
  • Improve image delivery

    22.6 s · 4.6 MB

    8 images could be 4.6 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 22.6 s faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.1 s · 705 KiB

    About 705 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.1 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    2.3 s

    6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.3 s.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.6 s · 247 KiB

    7 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (247 KiB).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    1.1 s · 200 KiB

    About 200 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 30

    30/100

    Your mobile performance score is 30 (desktop: 46). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 4.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 4.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Facebook and Google CDN and others), adding 1.1 MB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.

  • 14 long tasks on the main thread

    14 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 625 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 510 ms

    510 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 510 ms of main-thread work and 486 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

    450 ms · 31 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 31 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • Facebook adds 356 ms

    356 ms

    Facebook costs a phone 356 ms of main-thread work and 223 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.

  • 1,816 HTML elements

    The page has 1,816 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Google CDN adds 125 ms

    125 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 125 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.

  • 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: 31 ms

    31 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 31 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

11 to fix50
  • 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.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 39.4 s

    39.4 s

    Your largest element takes 39.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “NATIONAL LIFT TRUCK YOUR TRUSTED DEALER FOR MATERIAL HANDLI…”.

  • Speed Index: 16.1 s

    16.1 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 16.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 40.8 s

    40.8 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 40.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 6.2 s

    6.2 s

    The first text or image appears after 6.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 1.3 s

    1.3 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 1.3 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user LCP: 2.9 s

    2.9 s

    Real visitors wait 2.9 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Tap response (INP) got 24% slower for real visitors

    +24%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-10, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 96 ms to 122 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 32% slower for real visitors

    +32%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-10, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.0 s to 2.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Real-user FCP: 2.0 s

    2.0 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.0 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.5 s

    1.5 s

    Real visitors wait 1.5 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

2 checks passed
  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 18.7 MB in 60 requests

    18.7 MB

    Your homepage downloads 18.7 MB in 60 requests on a phone: media 11.0 MB (2), images 5.9 MB (11) and scripts 1.4 MB (23). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 2 images in older formats

    2 images (176 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 5.3 g of CO₂ per visit

    5.30 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 5.30 g of CO₂e: 635.8 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

4 to fixGoogle 8994
  • 21 tap targets too small

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

  • Links look like plain text

    17 links inside paragraphs rely on colour alone to stand out.

  • 16 links without text

    16 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 31 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 45 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: 45 passed and 4 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 8593
  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 10 links with vague text

    10 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

  • 2 links crawlers can't follow

    2 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

  • 334 internal links, 6 external

    The homepage links to 334 pages on nlt.com and 6 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 156 characters

    Your meta description is 156 characters: “National Lift Truck: Forklifts, aerial, boom & scissor lift rentals, sales, & service. Buy new, used, or rent forklifts…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “National Lift Truck”.

  • Title: 58 characters

    Your title is a healthy 58 characters: “National Lift Truck | Forklift Rentals & Material Handling”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: ImageObject, Organization, WebPage and WebSite.

  • 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.nlt.com/sitemap_index.xml.

AI search readiness

100
  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://www.nlt.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, description and contact details; logo and sameAs (social profiles) would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (2,335 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

100
  • 4 pages slow to respond

    https://www.nlt.com/blog, https://www.nlt.com/rental-equipment, https://www.nlt.com/equipment/rental and https://www.nlt.com/used-equipment took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 51 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

7 checks passed

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

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

  • Every page has a meta description

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 10087
  • 22 small tap targets

    22 of 37 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 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”.

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix81
  • No call to action on the first screen

    On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

  • 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 1,700 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,700 words of visible text.

6 checks passed
  • 16 calls to action

    The homepage has 16 calls to action, for example “Learn More”, “Order Picker” and “Learn More About Our Business”.

  • 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: 42 testimonial or review blocks and 20 customer or partner logos.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, LinkedIn Insight and Cloudflare Web Analytics.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 2 phone links and 0 email links.

  • Phone number on the homepage

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

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 5 trackers load before any consent

    5

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, LinkedIn Insight and Meta Pixel (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.

  • 5 cookies set on arrival

    5

    Opening the homepage sets 5 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.

  • 18 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 18 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 nlt.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
