Speed

5 to fix62

  • Render-blocking requests

    4.2 s

    55 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 4.2 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 62

    62/100

    Your mobile performance score is 62 (desktop: 93). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Improve image delivery

    500 ms · 84 KiB

    1 image could be 84 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 500 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    450 ms · 52 KiB

    About 52 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • 2,219 HTML elements

    The page has 2,219 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    150 ms · 128 KiB

    About 128 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 3 third-party services on the page

    3 third-party services load with your homepage (WordPress Site Stats, Adobe TypeKit and Google Fonts), adding 144 KiB and 16 ms of main-thread time.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    11 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 11 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Phones get a much slower page than desktops

    Desktop scores 93 but mobile only 62. 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.

2 checks passed

  • Main-thread work: 1.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 442 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 29 ms

    29 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 29 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix67

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 8.1 s

    8.1 s

    Your largest element takes 8.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “ROCKWELL AUTOMATION® TECHNOLOGY PARTNER · SINCE 1983 Build …”.

  • First Contentful Paint: 5.0 s

    5.0 s

    The first text or image appears after 5.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 8.1 s

    8.1 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 8.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 5.4 s

    5.4 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Not enough real-visitor data yet

    Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

3 checks passed

  • Largest content (LCP) got 24% faster for real visitors

    -24%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 4.2 s to 2.6 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.003

    0.003

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.003, good is under 0.1).

  • Total Blocking Time: 0 ms

    0 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

100

  • About 0.4 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.40 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.40 g of CO₂e: 48.3 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: 1.4 MB in 100 requests

    1.4 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.4 MB in 100 requests on a phone: fonts 535 KiB (12), images 417 KiB (4) and scripts 292 KiB (26). 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

4 to fixGoogle 8794

  • Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children (1 element)

    Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • 7 text elements with low contrast

    7 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • 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.

  • 3 links without text

    3 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed

  • Every image has alt text

    All 13 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 46 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 51 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 5 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 9273

  • No meta description

    No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • Title is short (24 characters)

    Your title is only 24 characters: “Home - Spectrum Controls”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • 315 internal links, 16 external

    The homepage links to 315 pages on spectrumcontrols.com and 16 external pages.

5 checks passed

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.spectrumcontrols.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, ImageObject, Organization, WebPage 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://www.spectrumcontrols.com/sitemap_index.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix65

  • robots.txt blocks 3 AI answer engine crawlers

    3 of 6

    Your robots.txt shuts out ChatGPT search (OAI-SearchBot), ChatGPT (ChatGPT-User) and Perplexity (PerplexityBot). These fetch pages to answer people's questions and cite the source, so your site can't be quoted or linked in those answers.

  • No llms.txt

    There is no /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.

  • Opted out of AI training for 5 crawlers

    robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended and CCBot, which collect pages to train models. That's a legitimate choice and doesn't by itself stop the site appearing in AI answers.

2 checks passed

  • Organization data: 6 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (2,041 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

4 to fix83

  • 4 pages without a meta description

    /products, /product-category/5034-pointmax-i-o, /product-category/2080-micro800 and /product-category/2085-micro800 have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 5 pages share a meta description

    /product/2080-micro800/2080-sdmemrtc-sc, /product/2080-micro800/2080sc-bac, /product/2080-micro800/2080sc-if4u, /product/2080-micro800/2080sc-ntc and /product/2080-micro800/2080sc-ow2ihc use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 1 link to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example /product-category/universal-industrial-gateway, whose canonical is /product-category/universal-gateway. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 2 pages without an H1

    /product/5034-pointmax-i-o/5034-em-sc-energy-monitoring-module and /product/5034-pointmax-i-o/5034-custom-i-o have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 5 pages slow to respond

    /product/2080-micro800/2080sc-bac, /product/2080-micro800/2080sc-if4u, /product/2080-micro800/2080sc-ntc, /product/2080-micro800/2080sc-ow2ihc and /product-category/2085-micro800 took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 99 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

4 checks passed

  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • 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

2 to fixGoogle 9678

  • 1 broken image

    1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://www.spectrumcontrols.com/.

  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “(0 , C.__dangerousOptInToUnstableAPIsOnlyForCoreModules) is not a function”.

2 checks passed

  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    7 of 8 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix75

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • A 12-field form

    Your longest form asks for 12 fields (8 required). Every extra field lowers completion.

  • No opening hours

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

  • 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.

  • About 579 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 579 words of visible text.

5 checks passed

  • 12 calls to action

    The homepage has 12 calls to action, for example “Contact Us”, “My Quote Request” and “Learn More →”.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 3 testimonial or review blocks, 3 customer or partner logos and 2 trust badges.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Hotjar and HubSpot.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 2 phone links and 1 email link.

  • Phone number on the homepage

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

Privacy and tracking

  • 3 cookies set on arrival

    3

    Opening 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.

  • 5 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 5 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed

  • No known trackers before consent

    No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).

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 spectrumcontrols.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
