Speed

13 to fix34
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.5 s · 338 KiB

    About 338 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.5 s faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    1.1 s · 545 KiB

    15 images could be 545 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.

  • 11,433 HTML elements

    The page has 11,433 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Mobile performance score: 34

    34/100

    Your mobile performance score is 34. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 4.1 s

    A phone's processor spends 4.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (hsappstatic.net, Hubspot and Shopify and others), adding 3.1 MB and 980 ms of main-thread time.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    600 ms · 138 KiB

    13 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (138 KiB).

  • Render-blocking requests

    650 ms

    7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 650 ms.

  • hsappstatic.net adds 424 ms

    424 ms

    hsappstatic.net costs a phone 424 ms of main-thread work and 715 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

    300 ms · 72 KiB

    About 72 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Hubspot adds 351 ms

    351 ms

    Hubspot costs a phone 351 ms of main-thread work and 176 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.

  • Shopify adds 127 ms

    127 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 127 ms of main-thread work and 2.2 MB 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.

  • 12 long tasks on the main thread

    12 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 344 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 21 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 21 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Minify JavaScript

    7 KiB

    7 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 5 ms

    5 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 5 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix36
  • First Contentful Paint: 8.2 s

    8.2 s

    The first text or image appears after 8.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 18.4 s

    18.4 s

    Your largest element takes 18.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “1.6Tbps OSFP DR4 Optical Transceiver”.

  • Time to Interactive: 18.8 s

    18.8 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 18.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 8.5 s

    8.5 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 8.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.467

    0.467

    The layout shifts by 0.467 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • 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: 195 ms

    195 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 195 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

3 to fix53
  • Page weight: 4.9 MB in 389 requests

    4.9 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.9 MB in 389 requests on a phone: other files 1.3 MB (282), scripts 1.1 MB (54) and images 1.1 MB (31). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    Banner_1.6T_Now_Available.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).

  • 5 images far larger than shown

    243 KiB

    5 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example Banner_1.6T_Now_Available.jpg at 2,048 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 243 KiB.

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (32 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 1.4 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.40 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.40 g of CO₂e: 168.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

5 to fixGoogle 9393
  • Malformed lists

    Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.

  • Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)

    Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 22 links without text

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

  • Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (2 elements)

    Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 78 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 47 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 5 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 10083
  • No structured data

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

  • 2 H1 headlines

    There are 2 <h1> headlines (“Proficium.com Proficium.com” and “CONNECTIVITYAT SCALE”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • Meta description is long (194 characters)

    Your meta description is 194 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.

  • 170 internal links, 0 external

    The homepage links to 170 pages on proficium.com and 0 external pages.

4 checks passed
  • Title: 36 characters

    Your title is a healthy 36 characters: “Welcome to Proficium – Proficium.com”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://proficium.com/.

  • 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://proficium.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix83
  • 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.

2 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.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

4 to fix68
  • 1 page without a title

    https://proficium.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.

  • 1 linked page hidden from search

    https://proficium.com/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

  • 1 page without a meta description

    https://proficium.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 10 pages without an H1

    https://proficium.com/customer_authentication/redirect, https://proficium.com/collections/oem-compatible-optical-transceivers, https://proficium.com/collections/oem-compatible-direct-attached-copper-cables, https://proficium.com/collections/oem-compatible-active-copper-cables, https://proficium.com/collections/oem-compatible-active-optical-cables and https://proficium.com/collections/high-quality-fiber-optic-cables and 4 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 87 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

3 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 7385
  • 26 small tap targets

    26 of 52 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 1 third-party cookie

    1 third-party cookie is set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • 4 JavaScript errors while loading

    4 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

4 to fix67
  • 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.

  • No social proof

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

  • Local business without LocalBusiness data

    Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.

  • Only about 46 words

    The homepage has only about 46 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • 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.

5 checks passed
  • 1 call to action

    The homepage has 1 call to action, for example “Contact Us”.

  • 1 short form

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

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: HubSpot.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 0 email links.

  • Phone number on the homepage

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

Privacy and tracking

  • 4 trackers load before any consent

    4

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and HubSpot (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (HubSpot cookie banner) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 23 cookies set on arrival

    23

    Opening the homepage sets 23 cookies, 9 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 31 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 31 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: HubSpot cookie banner

    A consent management tool (HubSpot cookie banner) loads with the page.

Security, domain, email and software versions
