Render-blocking requests
7.0 s9 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 7.0 s.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
5.7 s · 1.0 MB16 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.0 MB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
3.2 s · 614 KiBAbout 614 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.2 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 58
58/100Your mobile performance score is 58 (desktop: 77). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Improve image delivery
897 KiB5 images could be 897 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Legacy JavaScript
300 ms · 30 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 30 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
SearchSpring adds 252 ms
252 msSearchSpring costs a phone 252 ms of main-thread work and 144 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.
Reduce unused CSS
240 ms · 121 KiBAbout 121 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 240 ms faster on a phone.
2 third-party services on the page
2 third-party services load with your homepage (SearchSpring and Cloudflare CDN), adding 148 KiB and 256 ms of main-thread time.
7 long tasks on the main thread
7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 104 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
100 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).
Minify JavaScript
7 KiB7 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
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, 700 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 5 ms
5 msYour server sent the HTML in 5 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
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.
Real-user CLS: 0.48
0.48For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.48 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
First Contentful Paint: 7.1 s
7.1 sThe first text or image appears after 7.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 8.9 s
8.9 sYour largest element takes 8.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Speed Index: 7.1 s
7.1 sVisually, the page fills in at 7.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Time to Interactive: 9.1 s
9.1 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 9.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Real-user LCP: 2.6 s
2.6 sReal visitors wait 2.6 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.
Largest content (LCP) got 22% slower for real visitors
+22%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.7 s to 3.3 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Real-user FCP: 2.4 s
2.4 sReal visitors see the first content after 2.4 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
33 images without width and height
33 images 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 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 88 ms to 99 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Total Blocking Time: 124 ms
124 msScripts block the page for only 124 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.019
0.019The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.019, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
1 image over 500 KB
Fasteners-rebrand-hero-slide-in.gif weighs 957 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
Page weight: 2.6 MB in 63 requests
2.6 MBYour homepage downloads 2.6 MB in 63 requests on a phone: images 1.3 MB (39), scripts 1.1 MB (15) and stylesheets 122 KiB (1). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
PCS-Hero-images_02.jpg is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
1 image in older formats
1 image (957 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
0.74 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.74 g of CO₂e: 89.3 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
Images must have alternative text (31 elements)
Images must have alternative text: 31 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.
1 button without a name
1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (18 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 18 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.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)
Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
13 links without text
13 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
1 checks passed
28 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 35 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 28 passed and 7 failed. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
Title is long (113 characters)
Your title is 113 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “PCSTools (Professional Contractor Supply) | Milwaukee Tools, DeWalt Tools, Greenlee Tools…”.
Meta description is long (181 characters)
Your meta description is 181 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
1 link crawlers can't follow
1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
690 internal links, 4 external
The homepage links to 690 pages on professionalcontractorsupply.com and 4 external pages.
4 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.pcstools.com/.

robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place.
XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.pcstools.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
No llms.txt
There is no https://www.pcstools.com/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 (1,306 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
15 pages without a meta description
https://www.pcstools.com/track-an-order, https://www.pcstools.com/shop-by-category, https://www.pcstools.com/air-tools, https://www.pcstools.com/cordless-tools, https://www.pcstools.com/electricians-tools and https://www.pcstools.com/fasteners and 9 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 page slow to respond
https://www.pcstools.com/cordless-tools took over 3 s to send its HTML from our server.
15 internal pages checked

Best practices
14 small tap targets
14 of 31 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
Scrolls sideways on phones
On a 390 px-wide phone the page scrolls sideways, a sign that something is wider than the screen.
Missing source maps
Large scripts ship without source maps.
2 checks passed
No console errors
No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
No direct contact details
No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.
Only about 194 words
The homepage has only about 194 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
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.
3 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “QUOTE 0” and “Track an Order”.
14 calls to action
The homepage has 14 calls to action, for example “Quote 0”, “Your quote is empty” and “Track an Order”.
1 short form
A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.
Privacy and tracking
7 cookies set on arrival
7Opening the homepage sets 7 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.
3 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 3 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
1 checks passed
No known trackers before consent
No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).
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 professionalcontractorsupply.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
