Speed

14 to fix26
  • Render-blocking requests

    7.3 s

    29 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 7.3 s.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.4 s · 936 KiB

    About 936 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.4 s faster on a phone.

  • Signyfyd adds 1.2 s

    1.2 s

    Signyfyd costs a phone 1.2 s of main-thread work and 257 KiB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

  • Mobile performance score: 26

    26/100

    Your mobile performance score is 26 (desktop: 4). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 8.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 8.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 5.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 3,088 HTML elements

    The page has 3,088 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Improve image delivery

    3.1 MB

    30 images could be 3.1 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Signyfyd, Google Tag Manager and Facebook and others), adding 1.3 MB and 2.9 s of main-thread time.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    300 ms · 1.6 MB

    42 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.6 MB).

  • Google Tag Manager adds 850 ms

    850 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 850 ms of main-thread work and 537 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.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 815 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    310 ms · 48 KiB

    About 48 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 310 ms faster on a phone.

  • Facebook adds 305 ms

    305 ms

    Facebook costs a phone 305 ms of main-thread work and 223 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.

  • openreplay.com adds 296 ms

    296 ms

    openreplay.com costs a phone 296 ms of main-thread work and 95 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.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 56 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 56 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Minify JavaScript

    150 ms · 46 KiB

    46 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Minify CSS

    150 ms · 8 KiB

    8 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • 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: 164 ms

    164 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 164 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

11 to fix33
  • 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.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.96

    0.96

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.96 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • First Contentful Paint: 15.5 s

    15.5 s

    The first text or image appears after 15.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 19.0 s

    19.0 s

    Your largest element takes 19.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Speed Index: 15.5 s

    15.5 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 15.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 33.8 s

    33.8 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 33.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 2.8 s

    2.8 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 2.8 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user LCP: 2.9 s

    2.9 s

    Real visitors wait 2.9 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user FCP: 2.4 s

    2.4 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.4 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.3 s

    1.3 s

    Real visitors wait 1.3 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • 21 images without width and height

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

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -7%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.7 s to 2.4 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

3 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 145 ms

    145 ms

    Real visitors wait 145 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) got 19% faster for real visitors

    -19%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 184 ms to 145 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

2 to fix63
  • Page weight: 10.4 MB in 205 requests

    10.4 MB

    Your homepage downloads 10.4 MB in 205 requests on a phone: images 6.4 MB (94), scripts 2.1 MB (49) and HTML 1.7 MB (4). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 10 images below the first screen load straight away

    10 images further down the page (680 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 3.0 g of CO₂ per visit

    2.95 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.95 g of CO₂e: 354.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

6 to fixGoogle 8391
  • Hidden but focusable

    15 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.

  • 1 text element with low contrast

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

  • 15 images without alt text

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (97 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 97 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • No main landmark

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

  • 14 links without text

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

1 checks passed
  • 42 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 42 passed and 6 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

5 to fixGoogle 8579
  • Title is long (71 characters)

    Your title is 71 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Online Live & Timed Auctions: Connecting Buyers with Sellers | Proxibid”.

  • 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 (“If you can buy it online, you can buy it on Proxi…” and “If you can buy it online, you can buy it on Proxi…”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • 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.

  • 1 link crawlers can't follow

    1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

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

  • 137 internal links, 1 external

    The homepage links to 137 pages on proxibid.com and 1 external page.

4 checks passed
  • Meta description: 156 characters

    Your meta description is 156 characters: “Proxibid offers a platform to match buyers with sellers: bringing together auctioneers, consignors and buyers from mult…”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.proxibid.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://www.proxibid.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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.

  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://www.proxibid.com/llms.txt, a short Markdown guide to your key pages for AI tools (llmstxt.org). It is optional and few AI tools read it yet, so treat it as a cheap extra.

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.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,561 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

4 to fix68
  • 11 pages without a title

    https://www.proxibid.com/for-sale/collector-cars, https://www.proxibid.com/for-sale/commercial-trucks, https://www.proxibid.com/for-sale/computers-electronics, https://www.proxibid.com/for-sale/estate-personal-property, https://www.proxibid.com/for-sale/farm-equipment-machinery and https://www.proxibid.com/for-sale/guns-military-artifacts and 5 others have no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.

  • 11 linked pages hidden from search

    https://www.proxibid.com/for-sale/collector-cars, https://www.proxibid.com/for-sale/commercial-trucks, https://www.proxibid.com/for-sale/computers-electronics, https://www.proxibid.com/for-sale/estate-personal-property, https://www.proxibid.com/for-sale/farm-equipment-machinery and https://www.proxibid.com/for-sale/guns-military-artifacts and 5 others are marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If they are meant to be found, remove the noindex.

  • 11 pages without a meta description

    https://www.proxibid.com/for-sale/collector-cars, https://www.proxibid.com/for-sale/commercial-trucks, https://www.proxibid.com/for-sale/computers-electronics, https://www.proxibid.com/for-sale/estate-personal-property, https://www.proxibid.com/for-sale/farm-equipment-machinery and https://www.proxibid.com/for-sale/guns-military-artifacts and 5 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 11 pages without an H1

    https://www.proxibid.com/for-sale/collector-cars, https://www.proxibid.com/for-sale/commercial-trucks, https://www.proxibid.com/for-sale/computers-electronics, https://www.proxibid.com/for-sale/estate-personal-property, https://www.proxibid.com/for-sale/farm-equipment-machinery and https://www.proxibid.com/for-sale/guns-military-artifacts and 5 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 108 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

5 to fixGoogle 7369
  • 1 broken image

    1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=20035624&tm=gtm002&Ver=2&mid=d6e46ec2-d732-4191-90f0-1c3c0f3e47c2&bo=1&sid=f95ceaf0c5d211f1a4216d0a27735858&vid=f95d2070c5d211f19e0dd1369004f72d&vids=1&msclkid=N&pi=91.

  • 8 small tap targets

    8 of 35 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • Deprecated browser APIs

    The page uses 2 deprecated browser APIs that will stop working in future browsers (“CSS appearance value `slider-vertical` is not standardized and will be removed.”).

  • 6 JavaScript errors while loading

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

  • 3 distorted images

    3 images are displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so they look stretched or squashed.

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

5 to fix63
  • 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.

  • 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 phone number on the homepage

    A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 3 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • No direct contact details

    No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

  • 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.

  • About 968 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 968 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • 12 calls to action

    The homepage has 12 calls to action, for example “Email Sign Up” and “Start Bidding”.

  • 2 short forms

    2 short forms (0 fields at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and Segment.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 7 trackers load before any consent

    7

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Amplitude, Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Meta Pixel and 2 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.

  • 25 cookies set on arrival

    25

    Opening the homepage sets 25 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.

  • 25 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 25 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 proxibid.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
