Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
3.9 s · 756 KiBAbout 756 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.9 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.2 s19 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.2 s.
Improve image delivery
750 ms · 1.7 MB27 images could be 1.7 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (YouTube, Google Tag Manager and CallRail and others), adding 1.5 MB and 912 ms of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 54
54/100Your mobile performance score is 54 (desktop: 79). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused CSS
590 ms · 155 KiBAbout 155 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 590 ms faster on a phone.
YouTube adds 475 ms
475 msYouTube costs a phone 475 ms of main-thread work and 966 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.
Google Tag Manager adds 342 ms
342 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 342 ms of main-thread work and 449 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.
9 long tasks on the main thread
9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 191 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 25 KiB6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (25 KiB).
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 25 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 25 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 79 but mobile only 54. 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.
Minify JavaScript
2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 1.9 s

Server response: 5 ms
5 msYour server sent the HTML in 5 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

Speed Index: 7.8 s
7.8 sVisually, the page fills in at 7.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Total Blocking Time: 221 ms
221 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 221 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
1 image without width and height
1 image have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
-2%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 76 ms to 72 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.9 MB in 107 requests
3.9 MBYour homepage downloads 3.9 MB in 107 requests on a phone: images 2.2 MB (46), scripts 1.4 MB (30) and stylesheets 156 KiB (16). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image far larger than shown
3 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example F-1100-no-background-580x1024.png at 389 px wide, shown at 127 px. Resized copies would save about 3 KiB.
3 images in older formats
3 images (92 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.
3 images below the first screen load straight away
3 images further down the page (159 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit
1.10 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.10 g of CO₂e: 132.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
1 button without a name
1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
10 tap targets too small
10 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
ARIA input fields must have an accessible name (3 elements)
ARIA input fields must have an accessible name: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
Links look like plain text
2 links inside paragraphs rely on colour alone to stand out.
Interactive controls must not be nested (2 elements)
Interactive controls must not be nested: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
Frames without titles
1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (1 element)
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 35 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 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 7 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
2 links crawlers can't follow
2 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.onicon.com/sitemap_index.xml.
AI search readiness
Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)
Your Organization JSON-LD is missing sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.
No llms.txt
There is no https://www.onicon.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.
2 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 (1,137 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 linked page hidden from search
https://www.onicon.com/application/mission-critical is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.
3 pages without a meta description
https://www.onicon.com/application/gray-water-surface-water, https://www.onicon.com/application/process-liquids and https://www.onicon.com/application/seawater have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

5 third-party cookies
5 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.
2 small tap targets
2 of 10 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
2 JavaScript errors while loading
2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Cannot read properties of null (reading 'addEventListener')”.
1 low-resolution image
1 image is served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.
Browser-reported issues

Content and conversion
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.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 1 customer or partner logo. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
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 304 words of copy
The homepage carries about 304 words of visible text.
4 checks passed
7 calls to action
The homepage has 7 calls to action, for example “Contact Us”, “Contact us” and “Learn more about analytics cookies.”.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Analytics and LinkedIn Insight.
Direct contact links
Visitors can reach you directly: 2 phone links and 1 email link.
Phone number on the homepage
Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.
Privacy and tracking
5 trackers load before any consent
5Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, LinkedIn Insight and Microsoft Ads (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.
12 cookies set on arrival
12Opening the homepage sets 12 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (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.
21 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 21 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 onicon.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
