Speed

7 to fix66
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.6 s · 286 KiB

    About 286 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.6 s faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    1.1 s · 378 KiB

    12 images could be 378 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.1 s

    8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 66

    66/100

    Your mobile performance score is 66. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    380 ms · 54 KiB

    About 54 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 380 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 261 ms

    261 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 261 ms of main-thread work and 479 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.

  • 1,516 HTML elements

    The page has 1,516 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • 6 third-party services on the page

    6 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Shopify and Google/Doubleclick Ads and others), adding 579 KiB and 263 ms of main-thread time.

  • 4 long tasks on the main thread

    4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 130 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).

  • 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.

  • Minify CSS

    5 KiB

    5 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    3 KiB

    1 file is served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (3 KiB).

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.9 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 608 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 7 ms

    7 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 7 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix64
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 9.4 s

    9.4 s

    Your largest element takes 9.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 9.5 s

    9.5 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 9.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 6.3 s

    6.3 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 6.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 36 images without width and height

    36 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.

3 checks passed
  • Total Blocking Time: 185 ms

    185 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 185 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.1 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 2.5 MB in 152 requests

    2.5 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.5 MB in 152 requests on a phone: images 884 KiB (46), other files 710 KiB (75) and scripts 680 KiB (18). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (36 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

    0.70 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.70 g of CO₂e: 83.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • 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

9 to fixGoogle 6785
  • 10 text elements with low contrast

    10 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • 4 tap targets too small

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

  • Orphan list items

    Some list items are not inside a list.

  • 3 images without alt text

    3 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (56 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 56 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.

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Zoom is disabled

    The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

  • 10 links without text

    10 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h4, h3 → h5 and h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 33 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 43 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 33 passed and 10 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 7787
  • No structured data

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

  • 24 links with vague text

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

  • 3 links crawlers can't follow

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

  • One H1 headline

    Your <h1> is empty.

  • 206 internal links, 0 external

    The homepage links to 206 pages on productsourceguys.com and 0 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 119 characters

    Your meta description is 119 characters: “Your complete source for the latest in Gadgets, Gizmos, Voice, Tech Products, Smart home, Fitness, Kitchen and Hobbies.”.

  • Title: 43 characters

    Your title is a healthy 43 characters: “The Product Source Guys – productsourceguys”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://productsourceguys.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://productsourceguys.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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.

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 (7,718 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://productsourceguys.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 15 pages without a meta description

    https://productsourceguys.com/collections/music, https://productsourceguys.com/collections/stringed-instruments-all, https://productsourceguys.com/collections/guitars, https://productsourceguys.com/collections/stringed-instruments-violins-banjos-ukuleles, https://productsourceguys.com/collections/guitar-stringed-instrument-accessories and https://productsourceguys.com/collections/instrument-cases and 9 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

Best practices

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix57

    On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

  • No calls to action

    We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.

  • No social proof

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 0 phone links and 1 email 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 Meta Pixel (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.

  • 11 cookies set on arrival

    11

    Opening the homepage sets 11 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.

  • 13 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 13 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 productsourceguys.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.

Apps on your store

No apps were seen in the code your storefront loads.
