Speed
Avoid multiple page redirects
20.6 sThe page goes through 2 redirects before it starts loading, costing about 20.6 s. Link and advertise the final URL directly.
Reduce unused JavaScript
3.6 s · 1.5 MBAbout 1.5 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.6 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
2.8 s25 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.8 s.
Improve image delivery
1.1 s · 1.1 MB16 images could be 1.1 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 43
43/100Your mobile performance score is 43. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 4.8 s
A phone's processor spends 4.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.6 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, Google CDN and Facebook and others), adding 3.0 MB and 1.5 s of main-thread time.
Google Tag Manager adds 650 ms
650 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 650 ms of main-thread work and 1.1 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 430 KiB16 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (430 KiB).
Google CDN adds 448 ms
448 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 448 ms of main-thread work and 1.1 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.
Reduce unused CSS
450 ms · 81 KiBAbout 81 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
1,936 HTML elements
The page has 1,936 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Facebook adds 130 ms
130 msFacebook costs a phone 130 ms of main-thread work and 343 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.
Document request latency
150 msThe HTML itself could arrive about 150 ms sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 137 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
60 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 60 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
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.

Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

First Contentful Paint: 11.1 s
11.1 sThe first text or image appears after 11.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 29.5 s
29.5 sYour largest element takes 29.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Time to Interactive: 49.4 s
49.4 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 49.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 13.8 s
13.8 sVisually, the page fills in at 13.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Tap response (INP) got 29% slower for real visitors
+29%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 112 ms to 146 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Real-user FCP: 2.3 s
2.3 sReal visitors see the first content after 2.3 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
Total Blocking Time: 503 ms
503 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 503 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
15 images without width and height
15 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
+4%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.7 s to 2.8 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
Page weight: 10.8 MB in 253 requests
10.8 MBYour homepage downloads 10.8 MB in 253 requests on a phone: images 5.0 MB (89), scripts 4.6 MB (83) and stylesheets 420 KiB (41). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
15 images in older formats
15 images (1.5 MB) 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.
6 images far larger than shown
377 KiB6 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example Construction__Architecture_Header_R-1840x730.jpeg at 1,840 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 377 KiB.
5 images below the first screen load straight away
5 images further down the page (456 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 3.1 g of CO₂ per visit
3.06 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.06 g of CO₂e: 367.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
14 buttons without a name
14 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
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.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (38 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 38 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.
8 links without text
8 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
2 form fields without a label
2 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Elements marked as presentational should be consistently ignored (1 element)
Elements marked as presentational should be consistently ignored: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 26 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
47 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: 47 passed and 6 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO

AI search readiness
No llms.txt

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, logo, sameAs (social profiles) and contact details; description would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,707 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
9 linked pages hidden from search
/product/suntuf-polycarbonate-corrugated-sheets, /product/suntuf-plus-polycarbonate-corrugated-sheets, /product/ag-tuf-pvc-corrugated-sheets, /product/suntuf-diy-polycarbonate-corrugated-sheets, /product/suntuf-ez-glaze and /product/ez-glaze-bh and 3 others are marked noindex but linked from your homepage.
