Speed

9 to fix56
  • Mobile performance score: 56

    56/100

    Your 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 KiB

    About 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 KiB

    22 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (210 KiB).

  • Google Tag Manager adds 336 ms

    336 ms

    Google 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 ms

    3 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 ms

    Shopify 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 KiB

    4 images could be 47 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    26 KiB

    About 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 5 ms

    5 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 5 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 14.1 s

    14.1 s

    Your largest element takes 14.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “We use cookies to personalise content and ads, to provide s…”.

  • Time to Interactive: 22.2 s

    22.2 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 22.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 4.6 s

    4.6 s

    The first text or image appears after 4.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 7.5 s

    7.5 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 7.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Tap response (INP) got 33% slower for real visitors

    +33%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 103 ms to 137 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Total Blocking Time: 204 ms

    204 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 204 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -1%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.2 s to 1.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

5 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: 2.0 s

    2.0 s

    Real visitors wait 2.0 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.

  • Real-user FCP: 0.7 s

    0.7 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 0.7 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

4 to fix25
  • Page weight: 5.3 MB in 289 requests

    5.3 MB

    Your 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 MB

    3 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 g

    By 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

6 to fixGoogle 8991
  • 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

3 to fixGoogle 10083
  • 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.

  • 167 internal links, 1 external

    The homepage links to 167 pages on shapesplastics.com and 1 external page.

5 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://shapesplastics.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: 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://shapesplastics.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
4 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 (1,057 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

100
  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 82 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

7 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 15 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • 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>.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 7385
  • 5 small tap targets

    5 of 21 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 1 third-party cookie

    1 third-party cookie is set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

1 checks passed
  • 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.

  • 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 (shapesplastics.com).

  • Valid certificate (45 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for shapesplastics.com and is valid for another 45 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://shapesplastics.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 41 links work

    All 41 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 1 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    shapesplastics.com has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.

  • DNSSEC is off

    shapesplastics.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.

2 checks passed
  • Domain is 7 years old

    7 years

    shapesplastics.com was registered in May 2019 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until May 2027

    shapesplastics.com is registered until May 2027.

Content and conversion

2 to fix89
  • 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.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 9 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • No opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • No map or directions link

    There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

  • About 579 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 579 words of visible text.

7 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Get Custom Quote”.

  • 12 calls to action

    The homepage has 12 calls to action, for example “Contact”, “Get Custom Quote” and “Instant Quote”.

  • 3 short forms

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

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics and HubSpot.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 3 phone links and 0 email links.

  • Phone number on the homepage

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

  • Risk reducer mentioned

    A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.

Email authentication

1 to fix80
  • No DKIM key on the usual selectors

    We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.

  • Email authentication score: 80/100

    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.

2 checks passed
  • DMARC policy: quarantine

    DMARC tells receivers to quarantine 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:_u.shapesplastics.com._spf.dmarclj.com include:spf.protection.outlook.com -all”.

Privacy and tracking

  • 2 trackers load before any consent

    2

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

  • 5 cookies set on arrival

    5

    Opening the homepage sets 5 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 8 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 8 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: Cookiebot

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