Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.9 s · 1.3 MBAbout 1.3 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.9 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 44
44/100Your mobile performance score is 44. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 5.8 s
A phone's processor spends 5.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
650 ms · 4.6 MB153 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (4.6 MB).
Improve image delivery
500 ms · 2.9 MB64 images could be 2.9 MB 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.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Clarity and Hubspot and others), adding 1.6 MB and 740 ms of main-thread time.
Google Tag Manager adds 347 ms
347 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 347 ms of main-thread work and 376 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 355 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Vimeo adds 101 ms
101 msVimeo costs a phone 101 ms of main-thread work and 1.0 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.
1,557 HTML elements
The page has 1,557 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Render-blocking requests
150 ms1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 150 ms.
Document request latency
119 KiBThe HTML itself could arrive sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.
Legacy JavaScript
26 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 26 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Reduce unused CSS
23 KiBAbout 23 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
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.
Minify CSS
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Minify JavaScript
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors
Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.
Real-user LCP: 5.7 s
5.7 sReal visitors wait 5.7 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.
Real-user FCP: 5.1 s

Real-user TTFB: 2.0 s
2.0 sReal visitors wait 2.0 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
Largest Contentful Paint: 17.4 s
17.4 sYour largest element takes 17.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “SUNSOURCE: OEM & MRO SOLUTIONS-BASED DISTRIBUTOR Our knowle…”.
Time to Interactive: 31.5 s
31.5 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 31.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 13.2 s
13.2 sVisually, the page fills in at 13.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Total Blocking Time: 883 ms
883 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 883 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Real-user CLS: 0.14
0.14For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.14 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
25 images without width and height
25 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
-9%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 7.8 s to 7.0 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.012
0.012The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.012, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 8.2 MB in 235 requests
8.2 MBYour homepage downloads 8.2 MB in 235 requests on a phone: images 4.4 MB (142), scripts 2.1 MB (24) and fonts 949 KiB (12). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 2.3 g of CO₂ per visit
2.33 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.33 g of CO₂e: 279.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
Images must have alternative text (49 elements)
Images must have alternative text: 49 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.
7 buttons without a name
7 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
2 text elements with low contrast
2 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Frames without titles
1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.
3 links without text
3 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings should not be empty (2 elements)
Headings should not be empty: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
1 checks passed
42 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 47 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 42 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 page title
Your page has no <title>, so Google has to invent the blue link in search results.
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.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
No canonical URL
No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
18 links with vague text
18 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
Only 0 internal links
The homepage links to only 0 pages on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
2 checks passed
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.sun-source.com/sitemapindex.xml.
AI search readiness
Most text only appears after JavaScript runs
0%A phone browser shows 663 words, but the HTML your server sends has only 0. GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot read that HTML without running JavaScript, so they see an almost empty page. Server-side rendering or pre-rendering fixes it.
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.sun-source.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.
1 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.
Best practices
2 third-party cookies

Tap targets are thumb-sized
29 of 32 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
No calls to action
We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
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 form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
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 663 words of copy
The homepage carries about 663 words of visible text.
2 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “LEARN MORE”.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity.
Privacy and tracking
5 trackers load before any consent
5Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, HubSpot and Microsoft Clarity (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.
7 cookies set on arrival
7Opening the homepage sets 7 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (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.
11 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 11 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 sun-source.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
