tcbros.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Improve image delivery
1.5 s · 2.0 MB23 images could be 2.0 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.5 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 45
45/100Your mobile performance score is 45. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 7.1 s
A phone's processor spends 7.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
3,644 HTML elements
The page has 3,644 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Google CDN and rebuyengine.com and others), adding 1.5 MB and 1.3 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
550 ms · 643 KiBAbout 643 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 550 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
450 ms2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 267 KiB22 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (267 KiB).
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 303 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Google CDN adds 257 ms
257 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 257 ms of main-thread work and 333 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.
Google Tag Manager adds 260 ms
260 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 260 ms of main-thread work and 198 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.
rebuyengine.com adds 223 ms
223 msrebuyengine.com costs a phone 223 ms of main-thread work and 346 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.
Klaviyo adds 149 ms
149 msKlaviyo costs a phone 149 ms of main-thread work and 350 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 CSS
150 ms · 58 KiBAbout 58 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.
Legacy JavaScript
59 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 59 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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: 8.0 MB in 395 requests
8.0 MBYour homepage downloads 8.0 MB in 395 requests on a phone: images 4.8 MB (125), scripts 1.8 MB (109) and other files 942 KiB (134). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
4 images below the first screen load straight away
4 images further down the page (109 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 2.3 g of CO₂ per visit
2.27 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.27 g of CO₂e: 272.3 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
Hidden but focusable
4 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
Frames without titles
1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 263 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
49 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 passed and 3 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
Meta description is long (167 characters)
Your meta description is 167 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
470 internal links, 26 external
The homepage links to 470 pages on tcbros.com and 26 external pages.
6 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “TC Bros”.
Title: 34 characters
Your title is a healthy 34 characters: “TC Bros. - Custom Motorcycle Parts”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://tcbros.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://tcbros.com/sitemap.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.
3 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 (1,420 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
2 pages without a meta description
/collections/pro-series-performance-parts-for-harley-davidson and /collections/new-tc-bros-products have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 link to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example /collections/diy-exhaust, whose canonical is /collections/exhaust. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
15 pages without an H1
/collections/tc-bros-products, /collections/pro-series-performance-parts-for-harley-davidson, /pages/tc-bros-builds, /collections/new-tc-bros-products, /collections/air-cleaners-intake and /collections/battery-boxes and 9 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
10 pages with very little text
/collections/tc-bros-products, /collections/pro-series-performance-parts-for-harley-davidson, /collections/new-tc-bros-products, /collections/air-cleaners-intake, /collections/chain-sprockets and /collections/diy-exhaust and 4 others have under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 188 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
4 checks passed

Best practices
1 broken image
1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=27031286&Ver=2&mid=86b5a865-76d5-463f-9617-849b3615ce6e&bo=1&sid=e8fc19e0dc1511f1912b1136c4d594eb&vid=e8fc42a0dc1511f1ab8ce951d7c0aa8a&vids=1&msclkid=N&pi=918639831&lg.
1 third-party cookie
1 third-party cookie is set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.
5 JavaScript errors while loading
5 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 502 ()”.
Browser-reported issues
Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).
2 checks passed
Tap targets are thumb-sized
43 of 46 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
Short HSTS lifetime
HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.
3 links through redirect chains
3 links go through two or more redirects, for example https://www.tcbroschoppers.com/collections/brakes-1.
No Referrer-Policy
No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.
No Permissions-Policy
No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.
Deprecated X-XSS-Protection
X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.
No security.txt
There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.
7 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (tcbros.com).
Valid certificate (58 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE2 verifies for tcbros.com and is valid for another 58 days.
Protected from clickjacking
X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.
Content-Security-Policy set
A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
http:// redirects to https
http://tcbros.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2 and HTTP/3
The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.
All 53 links work
All 53 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 13 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
tcbros.com has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.
DNSSEC is off
tcbros.com's DNS answers are not signed. DNSSEC stops attackers forging them to send visitors or email elsewhere; most registrars switch it on in a click, though most sites still run without it.
2 checks passed
Domain is 18 years old
18 yearstcbros.com was registered in Jun 2008 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Aug 2027
tcbros.com is registered until Aug 2027.
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 opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
About 621 words of copy
The homepage carries about 621 words of visible text.
8 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “SHOP TC BROS.” and “SHOP NOW”.
22 calls to action
The homepage has 22 calls to action, for example “Contact Us”, “Call/Text Us: 419-265-9399” and “SHOP TC BROS.”.
4 short forms
4 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.
Social proof on the page
Social proof on the homepage: 40 testimonial or review blocks and 1 trust badge.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Analytics.
Direct contact links
Visitors can reach you directly: 3 phone links and 1 email link.
Phone number on the homepage
Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.
Risk reducer mentioned
A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.
Email authentication
No SPF record
tcbros.com has no SPF record, so mail servers can't tell which servers may send email as you. Your mail lands in spam more often, and anyone can send mail pretending to be you.
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be tcbros.com is still delivered. Add a report address, check the reports, then move to quarantine.
No DKIM key on the usual selectors
We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.
Email authentication score: 25/100
Email authentication: SPF record 25 points, plus 15 when it ends in -all (10 for ~all); DMARC record 25, plus 25 for a reject policy (15 for quarantine); a DKIM key on a common selector 10.
