Speed

3 to fix92
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.5 s

    22 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.5 s.

  • Improve image delivery

    643 KiB

    8 images could be 643 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Google CDN adds 109 ms

    109 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 109 ms of main-thread work and 352 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.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    249 KiB

    About 249 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • 7 third-party services on the page

    7 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, cdn-cookieyes.com and FontAwesome CDN and others), adding 700 KiB and 131 ms of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 14 KiB

    About 14 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.

  • 1 long task on the main thread

    1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 130 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • 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.

  • Minify JavaScript

    5 KiB

    5 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Minify CSS

    2 KiB

    2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

3 checks passed
  • Mobile performance score: 92

    92/100

    Your mobile performance score is 92. That is in Google's “good” band (90 and up).

  • Main-thread work: 0.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 153 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 5 ms

    5 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 5 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix98
  • Time to Interactive: 7.6 s

    7.6 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 7.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 5.5 s

    5.5 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.1 s

    2.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 6 images without width and height

    6 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    +8%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.6 s to 1.8 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • 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 Contentful Paint: 2.1 s

    2.1 s

    Your largest element renders in 2.1 s on a phone, inside Google's 2.5 s “good” threshold. The largest element is the text “We use cookies to enhance your browsing experience, serve p…”.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

  • Total Blocking Time: 40 ms

    40 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 40 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

2 to fix78
  • Page weight: 3.5 MB in 72 requests

    3.5 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.5 MB in 72 requests on a phone: images 2.6 MB (17), scripts 706 KiB (25) and fonts 170 KiB (4). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 3 images below the first screen load straight away

    3 images further down the page (353 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.00 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.00 g of CO₂e: 120.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • 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

5 to fixGoogle 8292
  • 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.

  • 8 images without alt text

    8 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (12 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 12 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 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.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 39 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 44 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 39 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

4 to fixGoogle 8578
  • No H1 headline

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

  • Title is short (23 characters)

    Your title is only 23 characters: “Home - Sunbelt Controls”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 7 links with vague text

    7 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

  • 85 internal links, 3 external

    The homepage links to 85 pages on sunbeltcontrols.com and 3 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Meta description: 141 characters

    Your meta description is 141 characters: “With over 30 years in building automation, Sunbelt Controls is a full-service contractor for new and retrofit projects …”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://sunbeltcontrols.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, WebPage and WebSite.

  • 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://sunbeltcontrols.com/sitemap_index.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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://sunbeltcontrols.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 (560 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 2 pages without a meta description

    https://sunbeltcontrols.com/solutions and https://sunbeltcontrols.com/service have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 page without an H1

    https://sunbeltcontrols.com/company/projects has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 30 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • 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 9691
  • 30 small tap targets

    30 of 40 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 1 distorted image

    1 image is displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so it looks stretched or squashed.

2 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

4 to fix50
  • 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 social proof

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

  • A 10-field form

    Your longest form asks for 10 fields (8 required). Every extra field lowers completion.

  • 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 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 409 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 409 words of visible text.

2 checks passed
  • 8 calls to action

    The homepage has 8 calls to action, for example “Learn More”, “Learn more” and “Contact”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics and HubSpot.

Privacy and tracking

  • 1 tracker load before any consent

    1

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Tag Manager (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (CookieYes) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 3 cookies set on arrival

    3

    Opening the homepage sets 3 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 9 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 9 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: CookieYes

    A consent management tool (CookieYes) loads with the page.
