Speed

5 to fix40
  • Render-blocking requests

    2.3 s

    4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.3 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 40

    40/100

    Your mobile performance score is 40 (desktop: 65). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    750 ms · 226 KiB

    About 226 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.

  • 6 third-party services on the page

    6 third-party services load with your homepage (firespring.com, Google Tag Manager and datadoghq-browser-agent.com and others), adding 1.4 MB and 408 ms of main-thread time.

  • firespring.com adds 185 ms

    185 ms

    firespring.com costs a phone 185 ms of main-thread work and 986 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.

  • Improve image delivery

    150 ms · 95 KiB

    3 images could be 95 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 55 KiB

    About 55 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

    150 ms · 20 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 20 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Font display

    100 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).

  • 5 long tasks on the main thread

    5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 77 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    54 KiB

    4 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (54 KiB).

  • Phones get a much slower page than desktops

    Desktop scores 65 but mobile only 40. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

  • 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: 0.8 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 392 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 38 ms

    38 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 38 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix38
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 9.0 s

    9.0 s

    Your largest element takes 9.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Grab Attention with Custom Banners Your one-stop-shop for a…”.

  • First Contentful Paint: 5.1 s

    5.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 5.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.527

    0.527

    The layout shifts by 0.527 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • Time to Interactive: 9.0 s

    9.0 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 9.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 5.8 s

    5.8 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 1 image without width and height

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

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Total Blocking Time: 28 ms

    28 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 28 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

100
  • About 0.4 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.39 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.39 g of CO₂e: 46.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

4 checks passed
  • Page weight: 1.4 MB in 40 requests

    1.4 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.4 MB in 40 requests on a phone: scripts 514 KiB (11), images 453 KiB (18) and fonts 357 KiB (4). That is a lean page.

  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images load when needed

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

  • Images are sized for phones

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

Accessibility

4 to fixGoogle 8793
  • 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.

  • 3 tap targets too small

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

  • Links must have discernible text (1 element)

    Links must have discernible text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (25 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 25 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h4 and h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 22 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 45 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: 45 passed and 5 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 10088
  • Title is short (10 characters)

    Your title is only 10 characters: “Print Shop”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • Meta description is long (223 characters)

    Your meta description is 223 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 82 internal links, 10 external

    The homepage links to 82 pages on print-tech.com and 10 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “We are a premier, one-stop custom printshop that proudly serves the local area and beyond.”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.print-tech.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList and LocalBusiness.

  • 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://www.print-tech.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, sameAs (social profiles) and description. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

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.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,774 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (12 KiB, 78 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

4 to fix76
  • 1 page points its canonical at the homepage

    /new-home.html declares the homepage as its canonical URL, which tells Google it is a copy of the homepage and keeps it out of search results. A site-wide template setting usually causes this.

  • 6 pages share 3 titles

    / and /new-home.html all use the title “Print Shop”, and 2 other titles repeat too. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 4 pages share a meta description

    /our-services/variable-data.html and /our-services/branded-promotional-products.html use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 14 pages without an H1

    /get-started/send-a-file.html, /get-started/place-an-order.html, /get-started/get-a-quote.html, /our-company, /our-company/equipment.html and /our-company/faqs.html and 8 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

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

4 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 15 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • 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 9687
  • 7 small tap targets

    7 of 19 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 3 JavaScript errors while loading

    3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://cdn.firespring.com/core/v2/css/stylesheet.1792336547.css' from origin 'https://www…”.

  • 5 low-resolution images

    5 images are served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix81
  • 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.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 3 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 594 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 594 words of visible text.

6 checks passed
  • 17 calls to action

    The homepage has 17 calls to action, for example “Place an Order”, “Get a Quote” and “Get Started”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 2 phone links and 2 email links.

  • Phone number on the homepage

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

  • LocalBusiness structured data

    Your homepage describes the business with LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants can read its address, hours and phone reliably.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 2 trackers load before any consent

    2

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

  • 9 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 9 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 print-tech.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
