Speed
Mobile performance score: 56
56/100Your mobile performance score is 56 (desktop: 96). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Cookiebot and Hubspot and others), adding 1.7 MB and 780 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
450 ms · 198 KiBAbout 198 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
400 ms · 210 KiB22 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (210 KiB).
Google Tag Manager adds 336 ms
336 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 336 ms of main-thread work and 468 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.
Render-blocking requests
300 ms3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 300 ms.
Main-thread work: 2.3 s
A phone's processor spends 2.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
1,807 HTML elements
The page has 1,807 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Shopify adds 14 ms
14 msShopify costs a phone 14 ms of main-thread work and 762 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.
9 long tasks on the main thread
9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 232 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
47 KiB4 images could be 47 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Reduce unused CSS
26 KiBAbout 26 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 96 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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 5.3 MB in 289 requests
5.3 MBYour homepage downloads 5.3 MB in 289 requests on a phone: images 2.3 MB (23), scripts 1.2 MB (82) and other files 1.0 MB (164). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
2 images over 500 KB
2 images weigh 1.6 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
3 images far larger than shown
1.3 MB3 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example hurricane_panel_lifestyle_3000_x_3000.jpg at 2,048 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 1.3 MB.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
hurricane_panel_lifestyle_3000_x_3000.jpg 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).
About 1.5 g of CO₂ per visit
1.51 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.51 g of CO₂e: 181.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Accessibility
Unlabelled dropdowns
4 dropdowns have no label.
10 text elements with low contrast
10 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
4 tap targets too small
4 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)
Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
6 form fields without a label
6 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 14 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
49 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: 49 passed and 5 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (70 characters)
Your title is 70 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Cut-to-Size Plastic | Polycarbonate, Plexiglass, HDPE | ShapesPlastics”.
2 H1 headlines
There are 2 <h1> headlines (“” and “Where Your Plastic Needs Take Shape”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Meta description is long (185 characters)
Your meta description is 185 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

Security and trust
Short HSTS lifetime
HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.
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.
