Render-blocking requests
7.3 s29 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 KiBAbout 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 sSignyfyd 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
26/100Your 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 MB30 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 MB42 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.6 MB).
Google Tag Manager adds 850 ms
850 msGoogle 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 KiBAbout 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 msFacebook 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 msopenreplay.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 KiBPolyfills 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 KiB46 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Minify CSS
150 ms · 8 KiB8 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.

Core Web Vitals
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.

Largest Contentful Paint: 19.0 s
19.0 sYour 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.

Real-user TTFB: 1.3 s
1.3 sReal 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 msReal 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
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 10.4 MB in 205 requests
10.4 MBYour 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 gBy 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
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
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
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
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.

Best practices
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
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
7 trackers load before any consent
7Before 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
25Opening 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.
