progressiveautomations.com website review

Your mobile performance score is 49. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

A phone's processor spends 9.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

The page has 6,173 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Clarity and Other Google APIs/SDKs and others), adding 2.0 MB and 2.2 s of main-thread time.

About 1.4 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 950 ms.

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 762 ms of main-thread work and 1,015 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.

Clarity costs a phone 462 ms of main-thread work and 31 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.

26 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (363 KiB).

Other Google APIs/SDKs costs a phone 268 ms of main-thread work and 257 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.

About 126 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.

20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 242 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

8 images could be 77 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.

Polyfills for old browsers add 54 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

11 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

5 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

The page becomes fully interactive after 29.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 11.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 1.1 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

Your largest element takes 5.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “FORWARD THINKING. INNOVATIVE. CUSTOMER FOCUSED.”.

Your homepage downloads 4.9 MB in 380 requests on a phone: scripts 2.6 MB (103), images 1,021 KiB (82) and other files 906 KiB (157). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

PA-HD3A_Hall_mobile.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).

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.39 g of CO₂e: 167.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

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

1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

Your title is 88 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Motion Control Systems & Power Solutions for Modern Automation – Progressive Automations”.

The homepage links to 344 pages on progressiveautomations.com and 20 external pages.

Your robots.txt lets ChatGPT search (OAI-SearchBot), ChatGPT (ChatGPT-User), Claude search (Claude-SearchBot), Claude (Claude-User), Perplexity (PerplexityBot) and Perplexity (Perplexity-User) read the homepage but closes other sections to them, so answers about those pages can't cite you.

robots.txt blocks CCBot, which collect pages to train models. That's a legitimate choice and doesn't by itself stop the site appearing in AI answers, which the crawlers above handle.

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

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

https://www.progressiveautomations.com/pages/industrial-linear-actuators and https://www.progressiveautomations.com/collections/industrial-linear-actuators all use the title “Industrial Linear Actuators - Buy Electric Industrial Actuators – Pro…”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

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

https://www.progressiveautomations.com/pages/industrial-linear-actuators and https://www.progressiveautomations.com/collections/industrial-linear-actuators use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

Your homepage links to 2 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example https://www.progressiveautomations.com/pages/industrial-linear-actuators, whose canonical is https://www.progressiveautomations.com/collections/industrial-linear-actuators. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

https://www.progressiveautomations.com/pages/industrial-linear-actuators, https://www.progressiveautomations.com/collections/lifting-column-sets, https://www.progressiveautomations.com/pages/mini-linear-actuators, https://www.progressiveautomations.com/collections/tv-lifts, https://www.progressiveautomations.com/blogs/how-to/complete-guide-to-ip-rating and https://www.progressiveautomations.com/products/pa-hd1 and 9 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

https://www.progressiveautomations.com/customer_authentication/redirect took over 3 s to send its HTML from our server.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 105 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.net/action/0?ti=15324259&tm=gtm002&Ver=2&mid=25a8ffc0-eb04-42b5-83e5-c9f708742a2e&bo=2&gtm_tag_source=1&pi=918639831&lg=en-US&sw=390&sh=844&sc=24&nwd=1&tl=Motion%20Control%20Systems%2.

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

4 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 429 ()”.

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

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

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.

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

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

The homepage carries about 1,392 words of visible text.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Amplitude, Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and LinkedIn Insight and 5 mores (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.

Opening the homepage sets 23 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

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.

Loading the homepage contacts 50 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
