Speed

10 to fix39
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    4.5 s · 1.1 MB

    About 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 KiB

    27 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (431 KiB).

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.1 s

    17 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 39

    39/100

    Your 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 ms

    Google 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 ms

    Shopify 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 ms

    ZenDesk 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 KiB

    Polyfills 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 KiB

    6 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 KiB

    53 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    38 KiB

    About 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 KiB

    5 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 15 ms

    15 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 15 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 19.8 s

    19.8 s

    Your largest element takes 19.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Festool-build-your-own-bundle-holiday-value-kits--sa-hero-s…”.

  • Time to Interactive: 26.1 s

    26.1 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 26.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 11.4 s

    11.4 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 11.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 4.9 s

    4.9 s

    The first text or image appears after 4.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 694 ms

    694 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 694 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) held steady for real visitors

    -1%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 138 ms to 138 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

8 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

  • Real-user LCP: 1.6 s

    1.6 s

    Real visitors wait 1.6 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 115 ms

    115 ms

    Real visitors wait 115 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: 1.2 s

  • Largest content (LCP) got 21% faster for real visitors

    -21%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.9 s to 1.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

3 to fix53
  • Page weight: 4.4 MB in 308 requests

    4.4 MB

    Your 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 KiB

    1 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 g

    By 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.

1 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

Accessibility

6 to fixGoogle 8893
  • 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

4 to fixGoogle 7786
  • 2 H1 headlines

    There are 2 <h1> headlines (“” and “4.8+ STAR GOOGLE CUSTOMER REVIEWS RATING”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • 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.

  • 99 internal links, 9 external

    The homepage links to 99 pages on toolnut.com and 9 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Title: 56 characters

    Your title is a healthy 56 characters: “Power Tools // Best Prices on Top Tool Brands | Tool Nut”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: LocalBusiness, Organization and WebSite.

  • Open Graph tags complete

    Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.

  • 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.toolnut.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
4 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: 6 of 6 facts

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

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (671 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://www.toolnut.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 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.

  • 4 pages without an H1

    https://www.toolnut.com/pages/tool-deals-and-discounts-tool-nut, https://www.toolnut.com/collections/new-tools, https://www.toolnut.com/pages/tool-nut-racing and https://www.toolnut.com/collections/tool-nut-swag 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 56 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 6 trackers load before any consent

    6

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel and Microsoft Ads and 1 more (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.

  • 41 cookies set on arrival

    41

    Opening the homepage sets 41 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.

  • 50 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 50 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 toolnut.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
