Speed

10 to fix49
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    6.7 s · 6.3 MB

    118 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (6.3 MB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.9 s · 328 KiB

    About 328 KiB 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.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.8 s

    19 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.8 s.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    1.2 s · 199 KiB

    About 199 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.2 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 49

    49/100

    Your mobile performance score is 49. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and DemandBase and others), adding 773 KiB and 550 ms of main-thread time.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 497 ms

    497 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 497 ms of main-thread work and 695 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.

  • Improve image delivery

    480 KiB

    7 images could be 480 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Main-thread work: 2.9 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 1,730 HTML elements

    The page has 1,730 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • 12 long tasks on the main thread

    12 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 176 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    12 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 12 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 33 ms

    33 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 33 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix56
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 19.7 s

    19.7 s

    Your largest element takes 19.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “OVERCOME CHALLENGING TOPOGRAPHY WITH ADVANCED RACKING TECHN…”.

  • Time to Interactive: 20.1 s

    20.1 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 20.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 5.0 s

    5.0 s

    The first text or image appears after 5.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 7.6 s

    7.6 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 7.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 385 ms

    385 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 385 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 29 images without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +7%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 113 ms to 119 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    +1%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.4 s to 2.2 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.

1 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

2 to fix60
  • Page weight: 7.1 MB in 201 requests

    7.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 7.1 MB in 201 requests on a phone: images 5.5 MB (84), scripts 921 KiB (22) and fonts 357 KiB (6). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 3 images in older formats

    3 images (693 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.

  • About 2.0 g of CO₂ per visit

    2.01 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.01 g of CO₂e: 241.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • Images load when needed

    Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.

  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

7 to fixGoogle 8388
  • Inline text spacing must be adjustable with custom stylesheets (5 elements)

    Inline text spacing must be adjustable with custom stylesheets: 5 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 3 text elements with low contrast

    3 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • 1 tap target too small

    1 tap target is too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • 25 images without alt text

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (47 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 47 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.

  • 9 links without text

    9 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

1 checks passed
  • 40 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: 40 passed and 7 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 7793
  • No social preview image

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

  • 8 links crawlers can't follow

    8 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

  • 3 links with vague text

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

  • 136 internal links, 10 external

    The homepage links to 136 pages on terrasmart.com and 10 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 139 characters

    Your meta description is 139 characters: “Having built 3.2 GW’s of ground mount solar projects, Terrasmart has pioneered the turnkey solar ground mount racking i…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “OVERCOME CHALLENGING TOPOGRAPHY WITH ADVANCED RACKING TECHNOLOGY”.

  • Title: 52 characters

    Your title is a healthy 52 characters: “Solar Technology | Powerful Connections | Terrasmart”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.terrasmart.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, Organization, WebPage and WebSite.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.terrasmart.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://www.terrasmart.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.

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.

  • Organization data: 4 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,282 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix93
  • 7 pages share a meta description

    https://www.terrasmart.com/products/ground-mount, https://www.terrasmart.com/products/ground-mount/fixed-tilt-glidefuse, https://www.terrasmart.com/products/ground-mount/ballasted and https://www.terrasmart.com/products/canopy use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 13 pages without an H1

    https://www.terrasmart.com/contact/contact-us, https://www.terrasmart.com/products/ground-mount/fixed-tilt-glideagile, https://www.terrasmart.com/products/ground-mount/fixed-tilt-glidewave, https://www.terrasmart.com/products/ground-mount/fixed-tilt-glidefuse, https://www.terrasmart.com/products/ground-mount/tracker-terratrak and https://www.terrasmart.com/products/ground-mount/terratrak-1p and 7 others have 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 53 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 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.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 15 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Titles are unique

  • 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

3 to fixGoogle 9671
  • 1 broken image

    1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://id.rlcdn.com/464526.gif.

  • 4 small tap targets

    4 of 8 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://id.rlcdn.com/464526.gif' from origin 'https://www.terrasmart.com' has been blocked…”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix60
  • 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.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 15 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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 1,437 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,437 words of visible text.

2 checks passed
  • 13 calls to action

    The homepage has 13 calls to action, for example “Contact”, “Contact Us” and “Request A Quote”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 4 trackers load before any consent

    4

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and LinkedIn Insight (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.

  • 9 cookies set on arrival

    9

    Opening the homepage sets 9 cookies, 3 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.

  • 20 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 20 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 terrasmart.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
