Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
6.6 s · 1.0 MBAbout 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 s50 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.
Mobile performance score: 37
37/100Your 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 KiB2 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 msGoogle 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 KiB12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (130 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
450 ms · 57 KiBAbout 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 msGoogle 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 msposthog.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 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 36 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Duplicated JavaScript
7 KiB7 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.

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

First Contentful Paint: 8.1 s
8.1 sThe 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 sYour 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 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 28.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 12.5 s
12.5 sVisually, the page fills in at 12.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Total Blocking Time: 735 ms

Real-user LCP: 3.4 s

Images and page weight
Page weight: 5.6 MB in 186 requests
5.6 MBYour 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 KiB1 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 gBy 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
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

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

9 cookies set on arrival

Security, domain, email and software versions
