Speed

9 to fix39
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    3.6 s · 7.6 MB

    59 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (7.6 MB).

  • Improve image delivery

    3.1 s · 6.1 MB

    15 images could be 6.1 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.1 s faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    3.0 s · 554 KiB

    About 554 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.0 s faster on a phone.

  • Font display

    3.0 s

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 3.0 s).

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.8 s

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

  • Mobile performance score: 39

    39/100

    Your mobile performance score is 39 (desktop: 49). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    450 ms · 111 KiB

    About 111 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • 6 third-party services on the page

    6 third-party services load with your homepage (YouTube, jQuery CDN and LinkedIn Ads and others), adding 1.1 MB and 387 ms of main-thread time.

  • YouTube adds 332 ms

    332 ms

    YouTube costs a phone 332 ms of main-thread work and 976 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.

  • 4 long tasks on the main thread

    4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 108 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 565 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 2 ms

    2 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 2 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix36
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 14.1 s

    14.1 s

    Your largest element takes 14.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Speed Index: 12.4 s

    12.4 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 12.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 14.2 s

    14.2 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 14.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.594

    0.594

    The layout shifts by 0.594 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.5 s

    2.5 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 25 images without width and height

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

  • 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
  • Total Blocking Time: 92 ms

    92 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 92 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

5 to fix28
  • Page weight: 8.6 MB in 92 requests

    8.6 MB

    Your homepage downloads 8.6 MB in 92 requests on a phone: images 7.4 MB (50), scripts 1,015 KiB (11) and fonts 121 KiB (5). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 7 images over 500 KB

    7 images weigh 5.7 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 15 images in older formats

    15 images (7.0 MB) 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.

  • 12 images below the first screen load straight away

    12 images further down the page (5.0 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • 1 image far larger than shown

    11 KiB

    1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example certified-img.png at 1,170 px wide, shown at 360 px. Resized copies would save about 11 KiB.

  • About 2.5 g of CO₂ per visit

    2.45 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.45 g of CO₂e: 294.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

7 to fixGoogle 8585
  • Scrollable region must have keyboard access (2 elements)

    Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • Frames without titles

    1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.

  • 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 (25 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 25 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • No main landmark

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

  • 4 links without text

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

  • 1 form field without a label

    1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 27 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 34 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 27 passed and 7 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

6 to fixGoogle 8375
  • Title is long (85 characters)

    Your title is 85 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Thomson Press India Private LTD <br>(Formerly known as Thomson Press (India) Limited)”.

  • No structured data

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

  • 4 H1 headlines

    There are 4 <h1> headlines (“Why ThomsonPress”, “Our Corporate Video” and “Testimonials”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • No canonical URL

    No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 1 link crawlers can't follow

    1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

  • 105 internal links, 10 external

    The homepage links to 105 pages on thomsonpress.com and 10 external pages.

3 checks passed
  • Meta description: 109 characters

    Your meta description is 109 characters: “Thomson Press is among the largest commercial printer and allied services company in the Indian sub-continent”.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at http://www.thomsonpress.com/sitemap.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.

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 (1,959 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 2 pages without a meta description

    /company-policies.html and /bible.html have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 14 pages without an H1

    /vision-core-values.html, /our-team.html, /awards.html, /thomson-school-of-Learning.html, /quality-assurance.html and /company-policies.html and 8 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 29 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

1 to fixGoogle 7397
  • 5 third-party cookies

    5 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • Browser-reported issues

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

3 checks passed
  • No console errors

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

  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    8 of 9 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

1 to fix94
  • 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.

  • No form on the homepage

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

  • 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 1,759 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,759 words of visible text.

7 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Contact Us”.

  • 4 calls to action

    The homepage has 4 calls to action, for example “Contact Us” and “Contact us”.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 1 testimonial or review block and 1 trust badge.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics and LinkedIn Insight.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 2 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.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 2 trackers load before any consent

    2

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads 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.

  • 1 cookie set on arrival

    1

    Opening the homepage sets 1 cookie, 1 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.

  • 11 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 11 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 thomsonpress.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
