Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Render-blocking requests
3.0 s2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.0 s.
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.2 s · 879 KiBAbout 879 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.2 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 43
43/100Your mobile performance score is 43. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 4.3 s
A phone's processor spends 4.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.9 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, omappapi.com and Facebook and others), adding 1.5 MB and 1.5 s of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
900 ms · 699 KiB42 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (699 KiB).
Google Tag Manager adds 676 ms
676 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 676 ms of main-thread work and 646 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.
Reduce unused CSS
600 ms · 105 KiBAbout 105 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.
Legacy JavaScript
300 ms · 48 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 48 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
2,246 HTML elements
The page has 2,246 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
16 long tasks on the main thread
16 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 247 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
51 KiB4 images could be 51 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
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.

Server response: 21 ms
21 msYour server sent the HTML in 21 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
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.
Time to Interactive: 21.9 s
21.9 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 21.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 7.9 s
7.9 sYour largest element takes 7.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “By clicking “Accept All Cookies”, you agree to the storing …”.
First Contentful Paint: 3.8 s
3.8 sThe first text or image appears after 3.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Total Blocking Time: 945 ms
945 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 945 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Real-user TTFB: 1.2 s
1.2 sReal visitors wait 1.2 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
Speed Index: 5.2 s
5.2 sVisually, the page fills in at 5.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
5 images without width and height
5 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
7 checks passed
Real-user LCP: 2.0 s
2.0 sReal visitors wait 2.0 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.
Real-user INP: 179 ms

Largest content (LCP) got 53% faster for real visitors
-53%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 4.3 s to 2.0 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.023
0.023The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.023, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 5.5 MB in 134 requests
5.5 MBYour homepage downloads 5.5 MB in 134 requests on a phone: media 2.4 MB (2), scripts 2.1 MB (54) and fonts 365 KiB (7). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 1.6 g of CO₂ per visit
1.55 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.55 g of CO₂e: 186.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
49 text elements with low contrast
49 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
16 tap targets too small
16 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
3 images without alt text
3 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).
1 checks passed
46 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 51 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 5 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
No favicon declared
No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.
4 links with vague text
4 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.
142 internal links, 4 external
The homepage links to 142 pages on roxtec.com and 4 external pages.
7 checks passed

XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.roxtec.com/sitemap.index.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.
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 (1,156 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://www.roxtec.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 29 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
2 pages share a title
/ and https://www.roxtec.com/en all use the title “Sealing solutions for cables and pipes | Roxtec Global”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
1 page without a meta description
https://www.roxtec.com/en/products/solutions has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 page without an H1
https://www.roxtec.com/en/knowledge-library has 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 100 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

Content and conversion
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
