Speed

13 to fix37
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    6.6 s · 1.0 MB

    About 1.0 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 6.6 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.4 s

    50 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 37

    37/100

    Your mobile performance score is 37 (desktop: 54). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Google CDN and posthog.com and others), adding 2.1 MB and 1.6 s of main-thread time.

  • Improve image delivery

    842 KiB

    2 images could be 842 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 702 ms

    702 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 702 ms of main-thread work and 1.0 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.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    450 ms · 130 KiB

    12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (130 KiB).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    450 ms · 57 KiB

    About 57 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google CDN adds 426 ms

    426 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 426 ms of main-thread work and 733 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.

  • Main-thread work: 3.9 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • posthog.com adds 348 ms

    348 ms

    posthog.com costs a phone 348 ms of main-thread work and 224 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.

  • 15 long tasks on the main thread

    15 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 250 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 1,966 HTML elements

    The page has 1,966 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    36 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 36 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    7 KiB

    7 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

  • 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

9 to fix67
  • 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.

  • First Contentful Paint: 8.1 s

    8.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 8.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 27.8 s

    27.8 s

    Your largest element takes 27.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “From Innovation To Scale With Prototek Elevate your manufac…”.

  • Time to Interactive: 28.1 s

    28.1 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 28.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 12.5 s

    12.5 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 12.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 735 ms

    735 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 735 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user LCP: 3.4 s

    3.4 s

    Real visitors wait 3.4 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user FCP: 2.9 s

    2.9 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.9 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 884 ms

    884 ms

    Real visitors wait 884 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) got 14% slower for real visitors

    +14%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 120 ms to 135 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 14% slower for real visitors

    +14%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.0 s to 3.4 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

3 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 135 ms

    135 ms

    Real visitors wait 135 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

3 to fix45
  • Page weight: 5.6 MB in 186 requests

    5.6 MB

    Your homepage downloads 5.6 MB in 186 requests on a phone: images 2.7 MB (26), scripts 2.3 MB (64) and other files 381 KiB (39). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image over 500 KB

    Prototek-IQ-CNC.webp weighs 1.2 MB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 1 image far larger than shown

    63 KiB

    1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example Prototek-Digital-Manufacturings-Customers_HighRes-Biosolutio at 1,250 px wide, shown at 153 px. Resized copies would save about 63 KiB.

  • 3 images in older formats

    3 images (237 KiB) are 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.

  • 4 images below the first screen load straight away

    4 images further down the page (144 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 1.6 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.59 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.59 g of CO₂e: 190.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

6 to fixGoogle 8993
  • 25 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 2 tap targets too small

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

  • 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.

  • 1 form field without a label

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

  • 1 link without text

    1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.

  • ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (8 elements)

    ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 8 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h6, h2 → h6 and h1 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 41 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 48 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 54 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 48 passed and 6 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 10093
  • 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.

  • No XML sitemap

    No XML sitemap at https://prototek.com/sitemap/, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

  • 219 internal links, 8 external

    The homepage links to 219 pages on prototek.com and 8 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 140 characters

    Your meta description is 140 characters: “Transforming Ideas into Reality: At Prototek, we offer a comprehensive solution for your needs, from prototyping to pro…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “From Innovation To Scale With Prototek”.

  • Title: 30 characters

    Your title is a healthy 30 characters: “Prototek – innovation to scale”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Corporation.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.

AI search readiness

100
4 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: 5 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles) and contact details; description would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (2,031 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (2 KiB, 10 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

100
  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 60 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

7 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.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 15 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9687
  • 9 small tap targets

    9 of 17 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 400 ()”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

1 to fix93
  • 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.

  • No opening hours

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

  • No form on the homepage

    There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

  • 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.

  • About 1,475 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,475 words of visible text.

6 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Start a Project” and “Contact Our Team”.

  • 22 calls to action

    The homepage has 22 calls to action, for example “Machine Shop Services”, “Get a Quote” and “Contact Us”.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 57 testimonial or review blocks, 7 customer or partner logos and 1 trust badge.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, PostHog and LinkedIn Insight.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 3 phone links 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

1 to fix
  • 6 trackers load before any consent

    6

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, LinkedIn Insight and The Trade Desk and 1 more (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.

  • 9 cookies set on arrival

    9

    Opening the homepage sets 9 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.

  • 24 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 24 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 prototek.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
