Speed

10 to fix51
  • Render-blocking requests

    2.3 s

    21 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.3 s.

  • Main-thread work: 4.6 s

    A phone's processor spends 4.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 3,411 HTML elements

    The page has 3,411 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Clarity and Hubspot and others), adding 1.3 MB and 1.2 s of main-thread time.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    750 ms · 262 KiB

    18 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (262 KiB).

  • Mobile performance score: 51

    51/100

    Your mobile performance score is 51. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    150 ms · 834 KiB

    About 834 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 260 ms

    260 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 260 ms of main-thread work and 331 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.

  • 12 long tasks on the main thread

    12 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 253 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Shopify adds 142 ms

    142 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 142 ms of main-thread work and 303 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.

  • Improve image delivery

    96 KiB

    4 images could be 96 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    32 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 32 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    6 KiB

    6 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 24 ms

    24 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 24 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix100
  • Time to Interactive: 17.9 s

    17.9 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 17.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 6.9 s

    6.9 s

    Your largest element takes 6.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Next slide”.

  • Total Blocking Time: 686 ms

    686 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 686 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) got 26% slower for real visitors

    +26%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 131 ms to 164 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Speed Index: 5.8 s

    5.8 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.5 s

    2.5 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    +9%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.4 s to 2.6 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

7 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

  • Real-user LCP: 1.9 s

    1.9 s

    Real visitors wait 1.9 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 166 ms

    166 ms

    Real visitors wait 166 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.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.8 s

    1.8 s

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

  • Real-user TTFB: 598 ms

    598 ms

    Real visitors wait 598 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

3 to fix69
  • Page weight: 3.7 MB in 390 requests

    3.7 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.7 MB in 390 requests on a phone: scripts 1.5 MB (113), images 937 KiB (61) and other files 897 KiB (168). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    B2B_LivestockHeaters_Website_Banner_Mobile_1482x2012_a1a6b3d is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).

  • 1 image far larger than shown

    38 KiB

    1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example Elanco.png at 884 px wide, shown at 140 px. Resized copies would save about 38 KiB.

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (76 KiB) is 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.

  • About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.04 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.04 g of CO₂e: 124.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

6 to fixGoogle 9492
  • 5 tap targets too small

    5 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • Interactive controls must not be nested (2 elements)

    Interactive controls must not be nested: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • [role="img"] and [role="image"] elements must have alternative text (1 element)

    [role="img"] and [role="image"] elements must have alternative text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (4 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)

    Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 10 links without text

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

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 90 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. 5 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 9276
  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • Title is long (70 characters)

    Your title is 70 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “QC Supply | Farm, Livestock & Industrial Supplies – Trusted Since 1982”.

  • Meta description is long (164 characters)

    Your meta description is 164 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 16 links with vague text

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

  • 731 internal links, 12 external

    The homepage links to 731 pages on qcsupply.com and 12 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, OnlineStore, Organization 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.qcsupply.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
  • No llms.txt

    There is no /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: 5 of 6 facts

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

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (2,424 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

4 to fix68
  • 2 pages without a title

    /customer_authentication/redirect and /pages/b2b have no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.

  • 1 linked page hidden from search

    /customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

  • 4 pages without a meta description

    /customer_authentication/redirect, /collections/winter-workwear-1, /pages/b2b and /pages/store-service-locations have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 6 pages without an H1

    /collections/all, /customer_authentication/redirect, /collections/winter-workwear-1, /pages/b2b, /pages/store-service-locations and /collections/hinges-knobs have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 1 page with very little text

    /pages/store-service-locations has under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 198 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

3 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    6 pages of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).

  • 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

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 4 JavaScript errors while loading

    4 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'querySelectorAll')”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    51 of 57 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

100
  • Short HSTS lifetime

    HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

  • 1 link through redirect chains

    1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://www.qcsupply.com/customer_authentication/redirect?locale=en&region_country=US.

  • No Referrer-Policy

    No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

  • No Permissions-Policy

    No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

  • Deprecated X-XSS-Protection

    X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.

  • No security.txt

    There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

7 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (qcsupply.com).

  • Valid certificate (56 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE2 verifies for qcsupply.com and is valid for another 56 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

    X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.

  • Content-Security-Policy set

    A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://qcsupply.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2 and HTTP/3

    The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.

  • All 46 links work

    All 46 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 6 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • DNSSEC is off

    qcsupply.com's DNS answers are not signed. DNSSEC stops attackers forging them to send visitors or email elsewhere; most registrars switch it on in a click, though most sites still run without it.

3 checks passed
  • Domain is 28 years old

    28 years

    qcsupply.com was registered in Dec 1997 through Cloudflare, Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Certificate issuers are restricted

    CAA records allow only ssl.com, digicert.com, letsencrypt.org and globalsign.com to issue certificates for qcsupply.com, so a mis-issued certificate from anyone else is refused.

  • Registered until Dec 2027

    qcsupply.com is registered until Dec 2027.

Content and conversion

3 to fix83
  • 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.

  • 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 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 512 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 512 words of visible text.

6 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “SHOP THE SALE” and “SHOP WINTER WORKWEAR”.

  • 18 calls to action

    The homepage has 18 calls to action, for example “SHOP THE SALE”, “Shop by Department” and “Shop by Brand”.

  • 11 short forms

    11 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 5 testimonial or review blocks and 2 trust badges.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Microsoft Clarity.

  • Opening hours shown

    Your opening hours are on the homepage.

Email authentication

100
  • Email authentication score: 100/100

    Email authentication: SPF record 25 points, plus 15 when it ends in -all (10 for ~all); DMARC record 25, plus 25 for a reject policy (15 for quarantine); a DKIM key on a common selector 10.

3 checks passed
  • DMARC policy: reject

    DMARC tells receivers to reject mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.

  • SPF with a strict ending (-all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 include:_spf-us.ppe-hosted.com ip4:216.58.235.68 ip4:216.58.235.66 include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:se…”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”, “selector2” and “k1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

  • 5 trackers load before any consent

    5

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Tag Manager, HubSpot, Klaviyo and Microsoft Clarity (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (CookieYes) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 16 cookies set on arrival

    16

    Opening the homepage sets 16 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 41 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 41 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: CookieYes

    A consent management tool (CookieYes) loads with the page.
