Speed
Improve image delivery
1.8 s · 640 KiB8 images could be 640 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.8 s faster on a phone.
8,247 HTML elements
The page has 8,247 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Main-thread work: 8.1 s
A phone's processor spends 8.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Mobile performance score: 54
54/100Your mobile performance score is 54. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
950 ms7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 950 ms.
Shopify adds 368 ms
368 msShopify costs a phone 368 ms of main-thread work and 861 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.
15 long tasks on the main thread
15 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 307 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
4 third-party services on the page
4 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, elfsight.com and shop.app and others), adding 873 KiB and 377 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 18 KiBAbout 18 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.
Reduce unused JavaScript
67 KiBAbout 67 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
9 KiB5 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (9 KiB).
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: 2.5 MB in 160 requests
2.5 MBYour homepage downloads 2.5 MB in 160 requests on a phone: images 1.0 MB (29), other files 547 KiB (37) and scripts 491 KiB (70). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
1_8288a9ff-5aa0-4fd0-8c37-3d87aafed24e.jpg is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit
0.72 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.72 g of CO₂e: 86.3 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
5 tap targets too small
5 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
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.
Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)
Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
1 image without alt text
1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (11 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 11 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
1 link without text
1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.
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
50 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 56 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 6 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Structured data has 7 problems
Structured data found (Organization and WebSite) but with 7 problems, for example “Organization: sameAs is not an absolute URL ("TTE")”.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
12 links crawlers can't follow
12 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.
One H1 headline
Your <h1> is empty.
57 internal links, 1 external
The homepage links to 57 pages on textiletechnologies.co.uk and 1 external page.
5 checks passed
Meta description: 98 characters
Your meta description is 98 characters: “Worldwide Distributors to B2B and OEM's for Thermal, Industrial, Composite and Technical Textiles.”.
Title: 31 characters
Your title is a healthy 31 characters: “Textile Technologies Europe Ltd”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.textiletechnologies.co.uk/.
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.textiletechnologies.co.uk/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
No llms.txt
There is no https://www.textiletechnologies.co.uk/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 (1,128 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 page without a title
https://www.textiletechnologies.co.uk/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.
1 linked page hidden from search
https://www.textiletechnologies.co.uk/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.
3 pages without a meta description
https://www.textiletechnologies.co.uk/customer_authentication/redirect, https://www.textiletechnologies.co.uk/collections/polyamide-textiles and https://www.textiletechnologies.co.uk/collections/polyester-fibre-textiles have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
3 pages without an H1
https://www.textiletechnologies.co.uk/customer_authentication/redirect, https://www.textiletechnologies.co.uk/collections/polyamide-textiles and https://www.textiletechnologies.co.uk/collections/polyester-fibre-textiles have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
15 internal pages checked

Best practices
1 JavaScript error while loading
1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Cannot read properties of null (reading 'addEventListener')”.
1 low-resolution image
1 image is served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.
2 checks passed
Tap targets are thumb-sized
220 of 229 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

Content and conversion
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.
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.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 1 trust badge. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
Phone number is not tap-to-call
Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
About 1,730 words of copy
The homepage carries about 1,730 words of visible text.
Urgency cues
The page uses urgency cues (a countdown or limited-time wording).
4 checks passed
5 calls to action
The homepage has 5 calls to action, for example “Sign in/ Register”, “Pricing Policy” and “Sign up for News and Insights”.
9 short forms
9 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.
Phone number on the homepage
Your phone number is on the homepage.
Risk reducer mentioned
A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.
Privacy and tracking
2 trackers load before any consent
2Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Tag Manager and Microsoft Ads (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 (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.
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.
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 textiletechnologies.co.uk, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
Apps on your store
Your storefront loads 5 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
Apps your storefront loads
Hulk Form Builder · Globo Mega Menu · Sa Request A Quote · Ez Terms And Conditions Checkbox · elfsight.com
