protoexpress.com website review

10 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.0 s.

10 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (192 KiB).

Your mobile performance score is 80 (desktop: 99). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

5 images could be 142 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

About 83 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.

Wistia costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 758 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 75 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

2 third-party services load with your homepage (Evergage and Wistia), adding 820 KiB and 81 ms of main-thread time.

2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 120 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

16 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Polyfills for old browsers add 12 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

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.

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 visitors wait 5.3 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

Real visitors see the first content after 3.8 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

Real visitors wait 2.3 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

Your largest element takes 4.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “With AI-driven humanoid robots at the forefront of innovati…”.

The page becomes fully interactive after 4.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

The first text or image appears after 2.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

9 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 167 ms to 156 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example new-industry_automotive.webp at 1,200 px wide, shown at 351 px. Resized copies would save about 16 KiB.

5 images further down the page (190 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.40 g of CO₂e: 47.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Input buttons must have discernible text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.

Delayed refresh under 20 hours must not be used: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.

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

1 link inside paragraphs relies on colour alone to stand out.

1 tap target is too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

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

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 143 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

The skip-link target should exist and be focusable: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

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

6 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

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

<td> elements in a large <table> do not have table headers. (1 element).

No XML sitemap at https://www.protoexpress.com/post-sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.

1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

The homepage links to 140 pages on protoexpress.com and 16 external pages.

https://www.protoexpress.com/products/online-pcb-manufacturing, https://www.protoexpress.com/products/rigid-pcb, https://www.protoexpress.com/products/flex-and-rigid-flex-pcb, https://www.protoexpress.com/products/uhdi-pcbs, https://www.protoexpress.com/products/hdi-printed-circuit-boards and https://www.protoexpress.com/products/microelectronics-pcb and 1 other have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 72 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

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.

The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

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

The homepage carries about 1,407 words of visible text.

Opening the homepage sets 2 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 3 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
