Speed

6 to fix56
  • Improve image delivery

    2.3 s · 1.4 MB

    13 images could be 1.4 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.3 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.8 s · 319 KiB

    9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (319 KiB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.4 s · 239 KiB

    About 239 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.4 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 56

    56/100

    Your mobile performance score is 56 (desktop: 85). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Render-blocking requests

    750 ms

    3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 750 ms.

  • Hubspot adds 143 ms

    143 ms

    Hubspot costs a phone 143 ms of main-thread work and 345 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.

  • 4 third-party services on the page

    4 third-party services load with your homepage (Hubspot, Google Tag Manager and Adobe TypeKit and others), adding 651 KiB and 220 ms of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 20 KiB

    About 20 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 4 long tasks on the main thread

    4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 103 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    13 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 13 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Phones get a much slower page than desktops

    Desktop scores 85 but mobile only 56. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.3 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 544 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 29 ms

    29 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 29 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

10 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.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 21.4 s

    21.4 s

    Your largest element takes 21.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Families”.

  • Time to Interactive: 21.5 s

    21.5 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 21.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 6.7 s

    6.7 s

    The first text or image appears after 6.7 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 10.0 s

    10.0 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 10.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 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.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 20% slower for real visitors

    +20%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.8 s to 2.1 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Real-user FCP: 2.0 s

    2.0 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.0 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    Real visitors wait 1.1 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • 20 images without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) got 13% slower for real visitors

    +13%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 104 ms to 116 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

4 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 120 ms

    120 ms

    Real visitors wait 120 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).

  • Total Blocking Time: 57 ms

    57 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 57 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

5 to fix18
  • Page weight: 7.2 MB in 64 requests

    7.2 MB

    Your homepage downloads 7.2 MB in 64 requests on a phone: images 4.9 MB (28), media 1.5 MB (1) and scripts 624 KiB (12). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 3 images over 500 KB

    3 images weigh 2.3 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 5 images far larger than shown

    1.5 MB

    5 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example Understanding-Food-Processing-Sanitation-Chemistry.png at 1,200 px wide, shown at 246 px. Resized copies would save about 1.5 MB.

  • 17 images in older formats

    17 images (4.7 MB) 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.

  • 14 images below the first screen load straight away

    14 images further down the page (2.8 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 2.0 g of CO₂ per visit

    2.04 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.04 g of CO₂e: 245.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

2 to fixGoogle 9797
  • Malformed lists

    Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 20 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 51 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 51 passed and 2 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 10095
  • Meta description is long (233 characters)

    Your meta description is 233 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 35 internal links, 4 external

    The homepage links to 35 pages on pssi.com and 4 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Keeping Food Families Facilities Safe”.

  • Title: 55 characters

    Your title is a healthy 55 characters: “Food Safety and Food Plant Sanitation Experts | Fortrex”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.fortrexsolutions.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, Organization, WebPage and WebSite.

  • Open Graph tags complete

    Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.

  • 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.fortrexsolutions.com/sitemap_index.xml.

AI search readiness

100
  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://www.fortrexsolutions.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.

3 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: 4 of 6 facts

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

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (788 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

5 to fix76
  • 3 pages share a title

    https://www.fortrexsolutions.com/chemical-solutions, https://www.fortrexsolutions.com/chemical-solutions/equipment and https://www.fortrexsolutions.com/equipment all use the title “Cleaning, Sanitizing & Specialty Chemical Solutions for Food Safety |…”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 3 pages without a meta description

    https://www.fortrexsolutions.com/category/case-study, https://www.fortrexsolutions.com/resources/10-ways-fortrex-helps-you-achieve-the-lowest-total-cost and https://www.fortrexsolutions.com/resources/beyond-clean-a-look-at-food-safety-chemistry have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 3 pages share a meta description

    https://www.fortrexsolutions.com/chemical-solutions, https://www.fortrexsolutions.com/chemical-solutions/equipment and https://www.fortrexsolutions.com/equipment use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 1 link to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example https://www.fortrexsolutions.com/equipment, whose canonical is https://www.fortrexsolutions.com/chemical-solutions/equipment. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 2 pages without an H1

    https://www.fortrexsolutions.com/chemical-solutions/intervention-solutions and https://www.fortrexsolutions.com/contact-sales 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 17 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.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    12 of 14 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

1 to fix83
  • 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.

  • 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 731 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 731 words of visible text.

5 checks passed
  • 5 calls to action

    The homepage has 5 calls to action, for example “Contact Sales”, “Join Our Team” and “Contact Us”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 21 testimonial or review blocks and “400 + Customers”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and HubSpot.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 2 phone links and 0 email links.

Privacy and tracking

  • 2 trackers load before any consent

    2

  • 17 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 17 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: HubSpot cookie banner

    A consent management tool (HubSpot cookie banner) loads with the page.

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 pssi.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
