Render-blocking requests
1.4 s4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.
Mobile performance score: 73
73/100Your mobile performance score is 73. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
550 ms · 151 KiB36 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (151 KiB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
450 ms · 89 KiBAbout 89 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.
website-files.com adds 166 ms
166 mswebsite-files.com costs a phone 166 ms of main-thread work and 625 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.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (website-files.com, cloudfront.net and bc0a.com and others), adding 898 KiB and 253 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 75 KiBAbout 75 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. 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).
Improve image delivery
38 KiB6 images could be 38 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.
2 checks passed

Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

Time to Interactive: 6.6 s
6.6 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 6.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Images and page weight
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
6336ca2ef798ee3fc1d45562_slider-image_billion-parts-p-500.jp 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 0.3 g of CO₂ per visit
0.30 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.30 g of CO₂e: 35.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Page weight: 1.0 MB in 99 requests
1.0 MBYour homepage downloads 1.0 MB in 99 requests on a phone: images 464 KiB (40), scripts 364 KiB (34) and fonts 122 KiB (5). That is a lean page.
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
Input buttons must have discernible text (1 element)
Input buttons must have discernible text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.
25 text elements with low contrast
25 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (16 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 16 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (2 elements)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Banner landmark should not be contained in another landmark (1 element)
Banner landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Document should not have more than one banner landmark (1 element)
Document should not have more than one banner landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
3 form fields without a label
3 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
1 link without text
1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 60 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
42 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: 42 passed and 7 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (67 characters)
Your title is 67 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Electronic Component Distributor & Online Marketplace | Sourcengine”.
Meta description is long (182 characters)
Your meta description is 182 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
Structured data has 1 problem
Structured data found (WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “WebSite: potentialAction.target is not an absolute URL ("https://www.sourcengine.com/search?q={search_term_string}")”.
8 links with vague text
8 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
132 internal links, 9 external
The homepage links to 132 pages on sourcengine.com and 9 external pages.
5 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “The Electronic Components Marketplace for Professional Buyers and Engineers”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.sourcengine.com/.
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://www.sourcengine.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.
No llms.txt
There is no https://www.sourcengine.com/llms.txt, a short Markdown guide to your key pages for AI tools (llmstxt.org). It is optional and few AI tools read it yet, so treat it as a cheap extra.
2 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 (716 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
8 pages without a meta description
https://www.sourcengine.com/blog-categories/industry-news, https://www.sourcengine.com/blog-categories/franchise-feature, https://www.sourcengine.com/blog-categories/sourcengine-updates, https://www.sourcengine.com/blog-categories/featured-products, https://www.sourcengine.com/blog-categories/components and https://www.sourcengine.com/blog-categories/distribution and 2 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

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.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
Only about 243 words
The homepage has only about 243 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
No risk reducer
No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.
4 checks passed
9 calls to action
The homepage has 9 calls to action, for example “Contact an Expert”, “Contact us” and “Learn More”.
2 short forms

Privacy and tracking

1Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads LinkedIn Insight (measured from a US location before any click). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.
3 cookies set on arrival
3Opening the homepage sets 3 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
No consent tool detected
No known cookie consent tool loads with the page. Some sites build their own banner, and some only show one to visitors from the EU.
15 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 15 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
Security, domain, email and software versions
The security, domain and email checks, software and plugin versions, and any app with a known security problem are visible only to people at sourcengine.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
