Speed

5 to fix59
  • Mobile performance score: 59

    59/100

    Your mobile performance score is 59. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    600 ms · 66 KiB

    About 66 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    400 ms · 67 KiB

    1 image could be 67 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 400 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 333 ms

    333 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 333 ms of main-thread work and 740 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.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    300 ms · 39 KiB

    4 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (39 KiB).

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and marketingcloudfx.com and others), adding 965 KiB and 369 ms of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 37 KiB

    About 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.

  • 5 long tasks on the main thread

    5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 182 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.

  • Forced reflow

    Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 889 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 42 ms

    42 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 42 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

10 to fix67
  • 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.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.93

    0.93

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.93 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 14.6 s

    14.6 s

    Your largest element takes 14.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Capabilities Card Printing & Attributes Explore our advance…”.

  • Time to Interactive: 15.2 s

    15.2 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 15.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 6.5 s

    6.5 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 6.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Real-user FCP: 2.2 s

    2.2 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.2 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 865 ms

    865 ms

    Real visitors wait 865 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.9 s

    2.9 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 248 ms

    248 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 248 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 5 images without width and height

    5 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +6%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 113 ms to 119 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 11% slower for real visitors

    +11%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.1 s to 3.6 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

3 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 2.3 s

    2.3 s

    Real visitors wait 2.3 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 104 ms

    104 ms

    Real visitors wait 104 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

2 to fix75
  • Page weight: 2.1 MB in 91 requests

    2.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.1 MB in 91 requests on a phone: scripts 1.3 MB (30), images 313 KiB (41) and fonts 306 KiB (3). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image far larger than shown

    43 KiB

    1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example 1n12b2qixfy.png at 1,920 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 43 KiB.

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (69 KiB) is 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.

  • About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.60 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.60 g of CO₂e: 72.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images load when needed

    Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.

Accessibility

6 to fixGoogle 8590
  • 1 button without a name

    1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • 1 text element with low contrast

    1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (63 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 63 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 10 form fields without a label

    10 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (4 elements)

    ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Elements marked as presentational should be consistently ignored (4 elements)

    Elements marked as presentational should be consistently ignored: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h4, h2 → h5 and h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 108 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 33 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 39 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 33 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

3 to fixGoogle 9292
  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • 26 links crawlers can't follow

    26 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

  • No favicon declared

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

  • 34 internal links, 11 external

    The homepage links to 34 pages on plicards.com and 11 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 158 characters

    Your meta description is 158 characters: “Industry-leading custom card manufacturer offering personalized card production, premium packaging, creative displays, …”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “End-to-End Card Marketing Solutions”.

  • Title: 52 characters

    Your title is a healthy 52 characters: “Custom Card Solutions for Retail & Hospitality - PLI”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.plicards.com/.

  • 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://plicards.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

2 to fix75
  • 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.

  • Some text only appears after JavaScript runs

    53%

    The HTML your server sends has 1,338 of the 2,511 words a browser shows. AI crawlers don't run JavaScript, so they miss the rest.

  • 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.

1 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.

Other pages

100
  • 1 page with very little text

    /blog/list has under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 26 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

7 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.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 15 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • 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 9291
  • 3 JavaScript errors while loading

    3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Error with Permissions-Policy header: Parse of permissions policy failed because of errors reported by structured heade…”.

  • 3 distorted images

    3 images are displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so they look stretched or squashed.

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    14 of 17 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix75
  • 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.

  • 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.

  • No form on the homepage

    There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

  • About 2,511 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 2,511 words of visible text.

5 checks passed
  • 3 calls to action

    The homepage has 3 calls to action, for example “Subscribe”, “Apply” and “Contact Us”.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 2 customer or partner logos and “25k+ Happy Customers”.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 4 phone links and 0 email links.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.

  • Risk reducer mentioned

    A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 4 trackers load before any consent

    4

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

  • 6 cookies set on arrival

    6

    Opening the homepage sets 6 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.

  • 16 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 16 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 plicards.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
