Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.8 s · 1.2 MBAbout 1.2 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.8 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 45
45/100Your mobile performance score is 45. 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, 2.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
500 ms · 7.9 MB25 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (7.9 MB).
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Google CDN and complyauto.com and others), adding 2.2 MB and 1.8 s of main-thread time.
Google Tag Manager adds 847 ms
847 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 847 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.
Render-blocking requests
900 ms1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 900 ms.
Reduce unused CSS
450 ms · 103 KiBAbout 103 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.
Google CDN adds 321 ms
321 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 321 ms of main-thread work and 734 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.
Improve image delivery
361 KiB11 images could be 361 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
complyauto.com adds 256 ms
256 mscomplyauto.com costs a phone 256 ms of main-thread work and 121 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.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 233 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
19 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 19 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify JavaScript
8 KiB8 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
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.

Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

Images and page weight
Page weight: 11.7 MB in 114 requests
11.7 MBYour homepage downloads 11.7 MB in 114 requests on a phone: media 7.6 MB (2), scripts 2.6 MB (56) and images 800 KiB (24). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
8f2b62962a506dcc.webp 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
3 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example 4b088034ffbbe9d4.webp at 1,000 px wide, shown at 328 px. Resized copies would save about 3 KiB.
About 3.3 g of CO₂ per visit
3.31 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.31 g of CO₂e: 397.6 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
3 tap targets too small
3 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
6 images without alt text
6 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (2 elements)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
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.
4 form fields without a label
4 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
49 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 passed and 4 failed. 5 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (102 characters)
Your title is 102 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Transwest Automotive Group - RVs, Trucks, Commercial Trailers, Personal and Fleet Vehicle…”.
Structured data has 2 problems
Structured data found (BreadcrumbList, Organization and WebSite) but with 2 problems, for example “Organization: missing name”.
197 internal links, 5 external
The homepage links to 197 pages on transwest.com and 5 external pages.

robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place.
XML sitemap found

AI search readiness
Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)
Your Organization JSON-LD is missing name, description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.
No llms.txt
There is no https://www.transwest.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.
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 (1,415 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
3 pages point its canonical at the homepage
https://www.transwest.com/cars-trucks-suvs-vans/type/all/store, https://www.transwest.com/trucks/type/all/store and https://www.transwest.com/trucks/rent-or-buy/all/store declare the homepage as their canonical URL, which tells Google they are copies of the homepage and keeps them out of search results. A site-wide template setting usually causes this.

Best practices
8 small tap targets
8 of 33 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
1 third-party cookie
1 third-party cookie is set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.
1 JavaScript error while loading
1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.
Missing source maps
Large scripts ship without source maps.
Browser-reported issues

Content and conversion
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 phone number on the homepage
A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.
No direct contact details
No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.
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.
About 1,351 words of copy
The homepage carries about 1,351 words of visible text.
5 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen

Analytics in place

Privacy and tracking
3 trackers load before any consent
3Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (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.
13 cookies set on arrival
13Opening the homepage sets 13 cookies, 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.
15 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 15 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
Security, domain, email and software versions
