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
Use efficient cache lifetimes
900 ms · 258 KiB67 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (258 KiB).
Mobile performance score: 68
68/100Your mobile performance score is 68. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (VWO, Shopify and Bing Ads and others), adding 1.3 MB and 729 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
300 ms · 497 KiBAbout 497 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
600 ms5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 600 ms.
VWO adds 558 ms
558 msVWO costs a phone 558 ms of main-thread work and 241 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.
7 long tasks on the main thread
7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 349 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Main-thread work: 3.0 s
A phone's processor spends 3.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.7 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
1,842 HTML elements
The page has 1,842 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Shopify adds 60 ms
60 msShopify costs a phone 60 ms of main-thread work and 333 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.
withremark.com adds 12 ms
12 mswithremark.com costs a phone 12 ms of main-thread work and 642 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.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 37 KiBAbout 37 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.
Legacy JavaScript
9 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 9 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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
5 KiB5 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Server response: 8 ms
8 msYour server sent the HTML in 8 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
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: 8.0 s
8.0 sYour largest element takes 8.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “THE RIGHT BOAT PARTS & PRODUCTS, EVERY TIME. Shop by Engine”.
Time to Interactive: 14.7 s
14.7 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 14.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Real-user LCP: 2.9 s
2.9 sReal visitors wait 2.9 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.
Real-user INP: 260 ms
260 msReal visitors wait 260 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.
Tap response (INP) got 22% slower for real visitors
+22%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 155 ms to 188 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Real-user FCP: 2.2 s
2.2 sReal visitors see the first content after 2.2 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
Real-user TTFB: 1.4 s
1.4 sReal visitors wait 1.4 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
Total Blocking Time: 251 ms
251 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 251 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Speed Index: 3.5 s
3.5 sVisually, the page fills in at 3.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
3 images without width and height
3 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
4 checks passed
Real-user CLS: 0.08
0.08For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.08 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
Largest content (LCP) got 16% faster for real visitors
-16%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.3 s to 1.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.075
0.075The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.075, good is under 0.1).
First Contentful Paint: 1.3 s
1.3 sThe first text or image appears after 1.3 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.3 MB in 336 requests
3.3 MBYour homepage downloads 3.3 MB in 336 requests on a phone: scripts 1.4 MB (125), other files 962 KiB (141) and fonts 421 KiB (12). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
Yamaha_Bubble_resized.webp 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).
About 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit
0.92 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.92 g of CO₂e: 110.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
2 text elements with low contrast
2 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
6 images without alt text
6 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
3 form fields without a label
3 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
1 checks passed
43 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 44 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 43 passed and 1 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (68 characters)

Structured data has 1 problem
Structured data found (WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “WebSite: url is not an absolute URL ("partsvu.com")”.
299 internal links, 23 external

6 checks passed
Meta description: 155 characters

One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Boat Parts”.
Canonical URL set

Open Graph tags complete

XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://partsvu.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness

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.

llms.txt published
The site publishes https://partsvu.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
3 pages without a meta description
https://partsvu.com/blogs/boating-resources, https://partsvu.com/pages/honda-seasonal-must-haves and https://partsvu.com/pages/partsvu-premier-pro have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 page without an H1
https://partsvu.com/blogs/boating-resources has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
