steadyrack.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Improve image delivery
2.4 s · 1.3 MB24 images could be 1.3 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.4 s faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.4 s · 831 KiBAbout 831 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.4 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.4 s12 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.
Main-thread work: 4.9 s
A phone's processor spends 4.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, negate.io and Shopify and others), adding 2.6 MB and 1.4 s of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 56
56/100Your mobile performance score is 56. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused CSS
760 ms · 139 KiBAbout 139 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 760 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
300 ms · 254 KiB46 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (254 KiB).
Google Tag Manager adds 341 ms
341 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 341 ms of main-thread work and 342 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.
Shopify adds 218 ms
218 msShopify costs a phone 218 ms of main-thread work and 941 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.
2,225 HTML elements
The page has 2,225 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
videowise.com adds 108 ms
108 msvideowise.com costs a phone 108 ms of main-thread work and 834 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.
12 long tasks on the main thread
12 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 247 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
28 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 28 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Duplicated JavaScript
12 KiB12 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.
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: 5.1 MB in 277 requests
5.1 MBYour homepage downloads 5.1 MB in 277 requests on a phone: images 2.1 MB (38), scripts 1.6 MB (101) and other files 800 KiB (114). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
2 images over 500 KB
2 images weigh 2.2 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
4 images far larger than shown
1.5 MB4 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example Pro_Narrow_White_Close_Up.webp at 1,400 px wide, shown at 300 px. Resized copies would save about 1.5 MB.
4 images in older formats
4 images (2.5 MB) 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 1.4 g of CO₂ per visit
1.45 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.45 g of CO₂e: 173.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
Every image has alt text

45 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 46 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 1 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

Content and conversion
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.
No phone number on the homepage
A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.
No direct contact details
No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.
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.
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 1,136 words of copy
The homepage carries about 1,136 words of visible text.
