Speed

5 to fix74
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.5 s · 288 KiB

    About 288 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.

  • Improve image delivery

    900 ms · 725 KiB

    21 images could be 725 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 74

    74/100

    Your mobile performance score is 74 (desktop: 98). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    300 ms · 34 KiB

    About 34 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.

  • Shopify adds 20 ms

    20 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 20 ms of main-thread work and 457 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.

  • 6 third-party services on the page

    6 third-party services load with your homepage (accessibly.app, Shopify and Mailchimp and others), adding 539 KiB and 47 ms of main-thread time.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    68 KiB

    19 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (68 KiB).

  • 1 long task on the main thread

    1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 55 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 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.

  • Minify JavaScript

    3 KiB

    3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 441 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 4 ms

    4 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

3 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 8.7 s

    8.7 s

    Your largest element takes 8.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 8.8 s

    8.8 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 8.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.9 s

    1.9 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

11 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

  • Real-user LCP: 1.3 s

    1.3 s

    Real visitors wait 1.3 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 77 ms

    77 ms

    Real visitors wait 77 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

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

  • Real-user FCP: 0.9 s

    0.9 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 0.9 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 692 ms

    692 ms

    Real visitors wait 692 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) got 13% faster for real visitors

    -13%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-10, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 85 ms to 77 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 27% faster for real visitors

    -27%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-10, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.2 s to 0.8 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Speed Index: 2.7 s

    2.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 2.7 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

  • Total Blocking Time: 0 ms

    0 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

3 to fix69
  • Page weight: 3.3 MB in 281 requests

    3.3 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.3 MB in 281 requests on a phone: other files 1.4 MB (172), images 1.1 MB (32) and scripts 639 KiB (68). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    Grocery.png 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).

  • 1 image far larger than shown

    8 KiB

    1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example 075755121317folders.jpg at 390 px wide, shown at 120 px. Resized copies would save about 8 KiB.

  • About 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.95 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.95 g of CO₂e: 113.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

Accessibility

6 to fixGoogle 8292
  • Invalid ARIA attributes

    1 element use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.

  • Hidden but focusable

    3 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.

  • Zoom is disabled

    The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 4 links without text

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

  • Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (3 elements)

    Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 36 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 50 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 passed and 6 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 10094
  • Meta description is short (45 characters)

    Your meta description is only 45 characters: “Essentials products at deeply discount prices”. 70 to 160 characters is enough to sell the click.

  • No favicon declared

    No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.

  • 98 internal links, 10 external

    The homepage links to 98 pages on nwl.me and 10 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “National Wholesale Liquidators”.

  • Title: 30 characters

    Your title is a healthy 30 characters: “National Wholesale Liquidators”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://nwl.me/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList 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://nwl.me/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • No Organization structured data

    There is no Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants have no machine-readable facts about who runs the site: its name, logo, profiles and contact details.

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.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (724 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://nwl.me/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 9 pages without a meta description

    https://nwl.me/collections/household-cleaning, https://nwl.me/collections/toys, https://nwl.me/collections/electronis, https://nwl.me/collections/cookware, https://nwl.me/collections/cleaning-supplies and https://nwl.me/collections/all and 3 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 4 pages without an H1

    https://nwl.me/collections/toys, https://nwl.me/collections/cleaning-supplies, https://nwl.me/collections/deals and https://nwl.me/collections/grocery have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 50 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 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.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • 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

2 to fixGoogle 9686
  • Scrolls sideways on phones

    On a 390 px-wide phone the page scrolls sideways, a sign that something is wider than the screen.

  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    51 of 57 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

4 to fix57
  • 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.

  • No social proof

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

  • 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 analytics detected

    No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

  • No opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • Phone number is not tap-to-call

    Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.

  • 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 479 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 479 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • 4 calls to action

    The homepage has 4 calls to action, for example “Shop All”, “Shop our products” and “Contact Us”.

  • 2 short forms

    2 short forms (2 fields at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

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

  • 8 cookies set on arrival

    8

    Opening the homepage sets 8 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.

  • 13 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 13 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 nwl.me, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
