Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
2.1 s · 7.2 MB24 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (7.2 MB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.9 s · 586 KiBAbout 586 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.9 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
3.3 s11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.3 s.
Mobile performance score: 35
35/100Your mobile performance score is 35 (desktop: 91). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 5.4 s
A phone's processor spends 5.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.9 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, website-files.com and Cookiebot and others), adding 2.3 MB and 1.4 s of main-thread time.
Google Tag Manager adds 452 ms
452 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 452 ms of main-thread work and 511 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.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 393 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
website-files.com adds 253 ms
253 mswebsite-files.com costs a phone 253 ms of main-thread work and 1.3 MB 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.
2,012 HTML elements
The page has 2,012 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 41 KiBAbout 41 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.
Improve image delivery
37 KiB1 image could be 37 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Legacy JavaScript
31 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 31 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 91 but mobile only 35. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.
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.

Server response: 3 ms

Core Web Vitals

Images and page weight
Page weight: 9.4 MB in 129 requests
9.4 MBYour homepage downloads 9.4 MB in 129 requests on a phone: media 6.7 MB (1), scripts 1.5 MB (39) and images 961 KiB (51). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 2.7 g of CO₂ per visit
2.67 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.67 g of CO₂e: 320.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
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
Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children (2 elements)
Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.
8 text elements with low contrast
8 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
18 links without text
18 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
6 form fields without a label
6 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h6, h3 → h5 and h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 91 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
46 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: 46 passed and 4 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No canonical URL
No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.
51 internal links, 7 external
The homepage links to 51 pages on oakslab.com and 7 external pages.
7 checks passed

Structured data in place
Structured data found: Organization and WebSite.
Open Graph tags complete

robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.

Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.oakslab.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
No llms.txt
There is no /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: 5 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details; logo would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,828 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 page without a meta description
/industries/education has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

6 of 7 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set

Content and conversion
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 phone number on the homepage
A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.
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

About 1,502 words of copy
The homepage carries about 1,502 words of visible text.
6 checks passed
