Speed
Render-blocking requests
1.1 s4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.
Mobile performance score: 81
81/100Your mobile performance score is 81. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
1,865 HTML elements
The page has 1,865 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Shopify adds 88 ms
88 msShopify costs a phone 88 ms of main-thread work and 354 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.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Shopify and omnisnippet1.com and others), adding 672 KiB and 259 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
150 ms · 162 KiBAbout 162 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
239 KiB4 images could be 239 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
2 long tasks on the main thread
2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 107 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
102 KiB8 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (102 KiB).
Duplicated JavaScript
18 KiB18 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.
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: 1.3 s
A phone's processor spends 1.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 412 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 9 ms
9 msYour server sent the HTML in 9 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 5.1 s
5.1 sYour largest element takes 5.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Man Cave with Epoxy Bar Top”.
Time to Interactive: 6.6 s
6.6 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 6.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Not enough real-visitor data yet
Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.
4 checks passed
Speed Index: 2.9 s
2.9 sVisually, the page fills in at 2.9 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.
First Contentful Paint: 1.1 s
1.1 sThe first text or image appears after 1.1 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Total Blocking Time: 29 ms
29 msScripts block the page for only 29 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.4 MB in 239 requests
2.4 MBYour homepage downloads 2.4 MB in 239 requests on a phone: other files 736 KiB (90), scripts 681 KiB (88) and images 585 KiB (19). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image in older formats
1 image (115 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 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit
0.67 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.67 g of CO₂e: 80.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed

48 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 50 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 48 passed and 2 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 short (14 characters)
Your title is only 14 characters: “Primaloc Epoxy”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
Meta description is long (189 characters)
Your meta description is 189 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
One H1 headline
Your <h1> is empty.
86 internal links, 3 external
The homepage links to 86 pages on primaloc.com and 3 external pages.
4 checks passed

Structured data found: Organization and WebSite.
robots.txt in place

AI search readiness
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.
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.
Organization data: 4 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (873 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
9 pages share a title
/, /products/bar-top-epoxy, /products/deep-pour-epoxy, /collections/powder-pigments, /collections/liquid-pigments and /collections/epoxy-tools-supplies and 3 others all use the title “Primaloc Epoxy”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
8 pages share a meta description
