Speed

8 to fix45
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.9 s · 537 KiB

    About 537 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.9 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    2.0 s · 317 KiB

    9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (317 KiB).

  • Render-blocking requests

    2.1 s

    7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.1 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 45

    45/100

    Your mobile performance score is 45. 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, Facebook and Hubspot and others), adding 1.4 MB and 850 ms of main-thread time.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 487 ms

    487 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 487 ms of main-thread work and 801 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.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    350 ms · 35 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 35 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 350 ms faster on a phone.

  • 10 long tasks on the main thread

    10 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 286 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    28 KiB

    About 28 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • 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: 1.9 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.0 s of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 31 ms

    31 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 31 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

8 to fix100
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 16.9 s

    16.9 s

    Your largest element takes 16.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “PROUD TO BE EMPLOYEE OWNED. DESTINATION: EXCELLENCE SCROLL …”.

  • First Contentful Paint: 7.5 s

    7.5 s

    The first text or image appears after 7.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 16.9 s

    16.9 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 16.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 9.4 s

    9.4 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 9.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 895 ms

    895 ms

    Real visitors wait 895 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Total Blocking Time: 472 ms

    472 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 472 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 1 image without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) got 12% slower for real visitors

    +12%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 105 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

    +9%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.2 s to 1.4 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

5 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    Real visitors wait 1.7 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 127 ms

    127 ms

    Real visitors wait 127 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

  • Real-user FCP: 1.6 s

    1.6 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.6 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 6.6 MB in 59 requests

    6.6 MB

    Your homepage downloads 6.6 MB in 59 requests on a phone: media 4.1 MB (1), scripts 1.9 MB (20) and images 408 KiB (13). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 1.9 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.87 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.87 g of CO₂e: 225.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • 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

3 to fixGoogle 9594
  • 4 text elements with low contrast

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 2 form fields without a label

    2 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 1 image in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 30 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 32 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 30 passed and 2 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 9294
  • No structured data

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

  • 8 links crawlers can't follow

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

  • Open Graph partly set

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

  • 93 internal links, 18 external

    The homepage links to 93 pages on tmctrans.com and 18 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 160 characters

    Your meta description is 160 characters: “TMC Transportation Company is a leader in North America's flatbed trucking and logistics services. TMC Transportation h…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Destination: Excellence”.

  • Title: 65 characters

    Your title is a healthy 65 characters: “Flatbed Trucking, Hauling & Shipping Carrier | TMC Transportation”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • 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.tmctrans.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix83
  • 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.

  • No llms.txt

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

1 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.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 1 page without a meta description

    https://www.tmctrans.com/news has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 37 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.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • 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 7385
  • Deprecated browser APIs

    The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).

  • 1 small tap target

    1 of 5 tappable elements near the top of the page is smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 4 JavaScript errors while loading

    4 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Content security policy”).

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix78
  • No social proof

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

  • 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.

  • Only about 61 words

    The homepage has only about 61 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • No opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • No map or directions link

    There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

  • 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.

6 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “SCROLL DOWN GET STARTED WITH TMC”.

  • 9 calls to action

    The homepage has 9 calls to action, for example “Apply Today”, “TMC Gift Shop” and “Contact”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (2 fields at most) is right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel and HubSpot.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 2 phone links and 0 email links.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.

Privacy and tracking

  • 5 trackers load before any consent

    5

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, HubSpot and Meta Pixel (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (HubSpot cookie banner) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 9 cookies set on arrival

    9

    Opening the homepage sets 9 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 26 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 26 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: HubSpot cookie banner

    A consent management tool (HubSpot cookie banner) loads with the page.

The security, domain and email checks, software and plugin versions, and any app with a known security problem are visible only to people at tmctrans.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
