Use efficient cache lifetimes
4.0 s · 13.8 MB88 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (13.8 MB).
Render-blocking requests
5.6 s20 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 5.6 s.
Reduce unused CSS
2.4 s · 439 KiBAbout 439 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.4 s faster on a phone.
3,777 HTML elements
The page has 3,777 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Improve image delivery
2.8 MB8 images could be 2.8 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Reduce unused JavaScript
750 ms · 584 KiBAbout 584 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.
Mobile performance score: 56
56/100Your mobile performance score is 56. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Minify CSS
600 ms · 111 KiB111 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
6 third-party services on the page
6 third-party services load with your homepage (ZenDesk, Google Tag Manager and Clarity and others), adding 899 KiB and 511 ms of main-thread time.
ZenDesk adds 219 ms
219 msZenDesk costs a phone 219 ms of main-thread work and 430 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.
Document request latency
178 KiBThe HTML itself could arrive sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.
6 long tasks on the main thread
6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 123 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
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.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 1.9 s
A phone's processor spends 1.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 877 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 407 ms
407 msYour server sent the HTML in 407 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
First Contentful Paint: 7.4 s
7.4 sThe first text or image appears after 7.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Time to Interactive: 21.4 s
21.4 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 21.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 7.4 s
7.4 sYour largest element takes 7.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “SOURCE LOW IMPACT MATERIAL TO IMPROVE THE SUSTAINABILITY FO…”.
Speed Index: 8.8 s
8.8 sVisually, the page fills in at 8.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
34 images without width and height
34 images 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.
2 checks passed
Total Blocking Time: 156 ms
156 msScripts block the page for only 156 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.002
0.002The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.002, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 15.0 MB in 117 requests
15.0 MBYour homepage downloads 15.0 MB in 117 requests on a phone: images 12.6 MB (62), scripts 1.1 MB (23) and fonts 579 KiB (7). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
3 images over 500 KB
3 images weigh 2.5 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
6 images far larger than shown
1.7 MB6 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example product-images.png at 1,534 px wide, shown at 342 px. Resized copies would save about 1.7 MB.
15 images in older formats
15 images (4.9 MB) 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.
13 images below the first screen load straight away
13 images further down the page (4.5 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 4.2 g of CO₂ per visit
4.24 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 4.24 g of CO₂e: 509.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
4 buttons without a name
4 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
4 text elements with low contrast
4 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Hidden but focusable
1 element hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (41 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 41 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
5 links without text
5 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h5, h2 → h5 and h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 112 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
38 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 45 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 38 passed and 7 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No meta description
No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.
Title is long (81 characters)
Your title is 81 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Circular Textile Marketplace | B2B Sustainable Textile Platform | ProcureCircular”.
10 links crawlers can't follow
10 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
78 internal links, 9 external
The homepage links to 78 pages on procurecircular.com and 9 external pages.
6 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Source Low Impact material to improve the sustainability footprint of end-products.”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://procurecircular.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: LocalBusiness and Organization.
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://procurecircular.com/sitemap.xml.
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 (14,562 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
4 pages share a title
/how-it-works, /resources/creating-a-circular-product-with-fairbank-textiles, /resources/life-cycle-assessment-lca-in-the-textile-industry-a-comprehensive-guide and /resources/the-new-era-of-compliance-espr-impact-on-the-textile-industry all use the title “ProcureCircular”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
15 pages without a meta description
/inspiration, /circular-marketplace, /how-it-works, /circular-freemium, /lca and /esg and 9 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
4 pages without an H1
/how-it-works, /resources/creating-a-circular-product-with-fairbank-textiles, /resources/life-cycle-assessment-lca-in-the-textile-industry-a-comprehensive-guide and /resources/the-new-era-of-compliance-espr-impact-on-the-textile-industry have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

Content and conversion
No phone number on the homepage

No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
