Render-blocking requests

Reduce unused JavaScript
2.9 s · 1.1 MBAbout 1.1 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.9 s faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
1.2 s · 218 KiBAbout 218 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.2 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 31
31/100Your mobile performance score is 31 (desktop: 44). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 8.3 s
A phone's processor spends 8.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 5.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
3,197 HTML elements
The page has 3,197 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Improve image delivery
2.9 MB17 images could be 2.9 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Google CDN and tidio.co and others), adding 3.8 MB and 1.8 s of main-thread time.
Google Tag Manager adds 735 ms
735 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 735 ms of main-thread work and 553 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.
Google CDN adds 517 ms
517 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 517 ms of main-thread work and 734 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.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 396 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
300 ms · 65 KiB10 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (65 KiB).
Vimeo adds 104 ms
104 msVimeo costs a phone 104 ms of main-thread work and 1.9 MB 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.
tidio.co adds 148 ms
148 mstidio.co costs a phone 148 ms of main-thread work and 515 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.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 28 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 28 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Minify JavaScript
9 KiB9 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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 10.7 MB in 239 requests
10.7 MBYour homepage downloads 10.7 MB in 239 requests on a phone: images 5.4 MB (53), scripts 2.6 MB (85) and other files 1.7 MB (38). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
Sharp_SW-100H_saw-400x205.png 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).
3 images in older formats
3 images (164 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.
About 3.0 g of CO₂ per visit
3.04 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.04 g of CO₂e: 365.2 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
13 tap targets too small
13 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
6 text elements with low contrast
6 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes (1 element)
Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious 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.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4 and h2 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 118 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 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 5 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
Title is long (68 characters)
Your title is 68 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Manual Machine & CNC Manufacturing Retailer | Sharp Industries, Inc.”.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
7 links crawlers can't follow
7 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
220 internal links, 3 external
The homepage links to 220 pages on sharp-industries.com and 3 external pages.
5 checks passed

AI search readiness
No llms.txt

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: 4 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and contact details; sameAs (social profiles) and description would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (2,393 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
