tcindustries.com website review

4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 700 ms.

7 images could be 613 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

3 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Analytics, WordPress Site Stats and Google Fonts), adding 35 KiB and 31 ms of main-thread time.

1 file is served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (13 KiB).

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Visually, the page fills in at 3.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

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

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.7 s to 1.7 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

3 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example home-page-locations.jpg at 2,048 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 232 KiB.

4 images (404 KiB) 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.

2 images further down the page (102 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.26 g of CO₂e: 30.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

11 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

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

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

Headings skip levels (h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

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

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

Your title is only 27 characters: “TC Industries Heat Treating”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

Open Graph is missing og:description, so shared links fall back to guesses.

The homepage links to 20 pages on tcindustries.com and 3 external pages.

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.

There is no https://tcindustries.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.

https://tcindustries.com/careers and https://tcindustries.com/contact/careers all use the title “TC Industries Heat Treating » Careers”, and 1 other title repeat too. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

https://tcindustries.com/careers, https://tcindustries.com/request-quote, https://tcindustries.com/heat-treating/quench-temper, https://tcindustries.com/cutting-edges-wear-parts-and-fabrications/products, https://tcindustries.com/our-company and https://tcindustries.com/cutting-edges/products and 1 other have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

Your homepage links to 2 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example https://tcindustries.com/cutting-edges/products, whose canonical is https://tcindustries.com/cutting-edges-wear-parts-and-fabrications/products. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

https://tcindustries.com/request-quote has 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.

https://tcindustries.com/request-quote, https://tcindustries.com/heat-treating/quench-temper and https://tcindustries.com/cutting-edges-wear-parts-and-fabrications/products took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

We fetched 7 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Mixed Content: The page at 'https://tcindustries.com/' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure script 'http://…”.

Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Mixed content”).

Social proof on the homepage: 1 trust badge. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.

There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

The homepage carries about 529 words of visible text.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics (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.

Opening the homepage sets 5 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

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.

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