Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
4.5 s · 1.1 MBAbout 1.1 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.5 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.4 s · 431 KiB27 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (431 KiB).
Render-blocking requests
1.1 s17 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.
Mobile performance score: 39
39/100Your mobile performance score is 39. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 5.1 s
A phone's processor spends 5.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.9 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, ZenDesk and Shopify and others), adding 2.9 MB and 1.6 s of main-thread time.
Google Tag Manager adds 522 ms
522 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 522 ms of main-thread work and 717 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.
Shopify adds 259 ms
259 msShopify costs a phone 259 ms of main-thread work and 1.0 MB 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.
ZenDesk adds 301 ms
301 msZenDesk costs a phone 301 ms of main-thread work and 476 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
300 ms · 23 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 23 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
19 long tasks on the main thread
19 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 225 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
50 ms · 149 KiB6 images could be 149 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 50 ms faster on a phone.
Minify JavaScript
80 ms · 53 KiB53 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Reduce unused CSS
38 KiBAbout 38 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.
Minify CSS
5 KiB5 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.4 MB in 308 requests
4.4 MBYour homepage downloads 4.4 MB in 308 requests on a phone: scripts 2.7 MB (128), other files 723 KiB (115) and images 583 KiB (33). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
Festool-build-your-own-bundle-holiday-value-kits--sa-hero-st 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).
1 image far larger than shown
29 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example sweepstakes_nov_2026.jpg at 1,080 px wide, shown at 310 px. Resized copies would save about 29 KiB.
About 1.3 g of CO₂ per visit
1.25 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.25 g of CO₂e: 150.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Accessibility
1 text element with low contrast
1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
9 images without alt text
9 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (5 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 5 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
31 links without text
31 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.
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (6 elements)
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3, h1 → h3 and h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
55 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 61 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 55 passed and 6 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
2 H1 headlines

Meta description is long (280 characters)
Your meta description is 280 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
2 links crawlers can't follow
2 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
1 link with vague text
1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

Other pages
2 pages without a meta description
https://www.toolnut.com/pages/tool-deals-and-discounts-tool-nut and https://www.toolnut.com/pages/tool-nut-racing have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
