Speed

9 to fix42
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    4.3 s · 633 KiB

    About 633 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.3 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    3.9 s

    32 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.9 s.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    2.3 s · 248 KiB

    About 248 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.3 s faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    1.4 s · 992 KiB

    11 images could be 992 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.4 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 42

    42/100

    Your mobile performance score is 42 (desktop: 58). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Google CDN and Optanon and others), adding 1.6 MB and 1.2 s of main-thread time.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 526 ms

    526 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 526 ms of main-thread work and 496 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 CDN adds 498 ms

    498 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 498 ms of main-thread work and 734 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.

  • Main-thread work: 2.8 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    250 ms · 75 KiB

    7 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (75 KiB).

  • 12 long tasks on the main thread

    12 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 214 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • Legacy JavaScript

    9 KiB

    Polyfills 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 4 ms

    4 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 4 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.

  • First Contentful Paint: 10.2 s

    10.2 s

    The first text or image appears after 10.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 21.2 s

    21.2 s

    Your largest element takes 21.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 21.4 s

    21.4 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 21.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 10.2 s

    10.2 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 10.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Real-user LCP: 2.9 s

    2.9 s

    Real visitors wait 2.9 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user FCP: 2.9 s

    2.9 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.9 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    Real visitors wait 1.7 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Total Blocking Time: 524 ms

    524 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 524 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) got 11% slower for real visitors

    +11%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 86 ms to 96 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

4 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 111 ms

    111 ms

    Real visitors wait 111 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.05

    0.05

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.05 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 21% faster for real visitors

    -21%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.2 s to 2.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.051

    0.051

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.051, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

2 to fix78
  • Page weight: 4.0 MB in 123 requests

    4.0 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.0 MB in 123 requests on a phone: images 1.5 MB (29), scripts 1.4 MB (37) and other files 402 KiB (18). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 5 images below the first screen load straight away

    5 images further down the page (383 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • 8 images in older formats

    8 images (463 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.

  • About 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.13 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.13 g of CO₂e: 135.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

5 to fixGoogle 8894
  • 1 button without a name

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

  • 18 tap targets too small

    18 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (15 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 15 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 6 form fields without a label

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

  • 1 link without text

    1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 19 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 50 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 55 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 5 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 9294
  • No XML sitemap

    No XML sitemap at https://prggear.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

  • 4 links with vague text

    4 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

  • 81 internal links, 5 external

    The homepage links to 81 pages on prggear.com and 5 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 138 characters

    Your meta description is 138 characters: “PRG Gear maintains the largest inventory of AV rental equipment for rent in the world; supported by a team of experts i…”.

  • One H1 headline

  • Title: 43 characters

    Your title is a healthy 43 characters: “AV Rental & Production Equipment - PRG Gear”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://prggear.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization.

  • Open Graph tags complete

AI search readiness

100
4 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: 6 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (389 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (3 KiB, 38 links, though it should open with a “# Title” line), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 3 pages without a meta description

    /news, /about and /equipment have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 page slow to respond

    /product-category/projector-rental took over 3 s to send its HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 35 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9678
  • 1 broken image

    1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=187156982&tm=gtm002&Ver=2&mid=baabe367-ad3a-4830-81ac-0401d7fda5e4&bo=1&sid=c65fc910d26b11f18ae2ffafdf0dc76f&vid=c65ff530d26b11f1bdf05b8eeb29aaf3&vids=1&msclkid=N&pi=9.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix88
  • 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: 6 testimonial or review blocks. 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 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 407 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 407 words of visible text.

6 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “BUILD YOUR QUOTE”.

  • 7 calls to action

    The homepage has 7 calls to action, for example “Request a Quote”, “Build Your Quote” and “Contact”.

  • 3 short forms

    3 short forms (5 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and HubSpot.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 0 email links.

  • 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

    5

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, HubSpot and Microsoft Ads (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (OneTrust) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 16 cookies set on arrival

    16

    Opening the homepage sets 16 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 14 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 14 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: OneTrust

    A consent management tool (OneTrust) loads with the page.

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 prggear.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
