Mobile performance score: 79
79/100Your mobile performance score is 79. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
300 ms · 211 KiBAbout 211 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 101 KiB9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (101 KiB).
7 third-party services on the page
7 third-party services load with your homepage (Hubspot, Privy and Shopify and others), adding 422 KiB and 166 ms of main-thread time.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 24 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 24 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
140 ms · 26 KiBAbout 26 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 140 ms faster on a phone.
2 long tasks on the main thread
2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 68 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
49 KiB3 images could be 49 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
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.

Images and page weight
About 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit
0.54 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.54 g of CO₂e: 64.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
4 checks passed
Page weight: 1.9 MB in 159 requests
1.9 MBYour homepage downloads 1.9 MB in 159 requests on a phone: other files 915 KiB (96), scripts 575 KiB (40) and images 278 KiB (15). That is a lean page.
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
Invalid ARIA attributes
1 element use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.
17 text elements with low contrast
17 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
2 links without text
2 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (1 element)
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 27 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
44 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 49 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 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.

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.

Other pages
1 linked page is broken
Your homepage links to https://www.soldertraining.com/collections/vendors, which answers with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop it.
1 page without a title
https://www.soldertraining.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.
1 linked page hidden from search
https://www.soldertraining.com/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.
1 page without a meta description
https://www.soldertraining.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 page without an H1
https://www.soldertraining.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

Content and conversion
No call to action on the first screen
On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 2 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
Phone number is not tap-to-call
Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.
No risk reducer
