Speed

7 to fix65
  • Render-blocking requests

    2.8 s

    43 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.8 s.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    750 ms · 708 KiB

    About 708 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and Clarity and others), adding 1.1 MB and 898 ms of main-thread time.

  • Mobile performance score: 65

    65/100

    Your mobile performance score is 65. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    750 ms · 175 KiB

    About 175 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 624 ms

    624 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 624 ms of main-thread work and 998 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: 2.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 14 long tasks on the main thread

    14 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 193 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Improve image delivery

    95 KiB

    1 image could be 95 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    51 KiB

    6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (51 KiB).

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • Minify JavaScript

    12 KiB

    12 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 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: 16 ms

    16 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 16 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

9 to fix100
  • 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.

  • Time to Interactive: 20.6 s

    20.6 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 20.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 9.1 s

    9.1 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 9.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 3.6 s

    3.6 s

    The first text or image appears after 3.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user FCP: 2.5 s

    2.5 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.5 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 808 ms

    808 ms

    Real visitors wait 808 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 3.6 s

    3.6 s

    Your largest element takes 3.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “PROFESSIONAL NATION WIDE PRINTING.”. Most of its time is element render delay (2.3 s).

  • Total Blocking Time: 378 ms

    378 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 378 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 6 images without width and height

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

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    +2%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.0 s to 2.7 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

3 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 2.5 s

    2.5 s

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

  • 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

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 3.3 MB in 150 requests

    3.3 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.3 MB in 150 requests on a phone: scripts 1.6 MB (43), fonts 941 KiB (10) and images 451 KiB (21). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 2 images in older formats

    2 images (170 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.

  • 2 images below the first screen load straight away

    2 images further down the page (158 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.92 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.92 g of CO₂e: 110.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images are sized for phones

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

Accessibility

2 to fixGoogle 9196
  • Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children (1 element)

    Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • 38 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h4, h2 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 44 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 47 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 50 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 3 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 9293
  • 4 H1 headlines

    There are 4 <h1> headlines (“PROFESSIONAL NATION WIDE PRINTING.”, “What Is Web Growth in Printing? Causes, Effects, …” and “Pre-Print Instructions & Customer Resources”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • 3 links with vague text

    3 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

  • 83 internal links, 14 external

    The homepage links to 83 pages on publicationprinters.com and 14 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 159 characters

    Your meta description is 159 characters: “Top nationwide printing services for magazines, catalogs & booklets. Web press printing, custom binding, and direct mai…”.

  • Title: 60 characters

    Your title is a healthy 60 characters: “Printing Services In Denver, Colorado | Publication Printers”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Article, ImageObject, LocalBusiness, Organization and Person.

  • 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.publicationprinters.com/sitemap_index.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (2 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing url, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

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.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,223 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://www.publicationprinters.com/llms.txt (2 KiB, 5 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 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.publicationprinters.com/services/printing-services/catalog-printing, whose canonical is https://www.publicationprinters.com/catalog-printing. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 31 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed

Content and conversion

100
  • 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.

  • About 1,262 words of copy

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity and Hotjar.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 10 phone links and 2 email links.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.

  • LocalBusiness structured data

    Your homepage describes the business with LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants can read its address, hours and phone reliably.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 5 trackers load before any consent

    5

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and Microsoft Clarity (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.

  • 12 cookies set on arrival

    12

    Opening the homepage sets 12 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.

  • 22 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 22 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 publicationprinters.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
