Speed

4 to fix68
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.2 s

    14 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.2 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 68

    68/100

    Your mobile performance score is 68 (desktop: 93). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Avoid multiple page redirects

    780 ms

    The page goes through 1 redirect before it starts loading, costing about 780 ms. Link and advertise the final URL directly.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    600 ms · 110 KiB

    About 110 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

  • 5 third-party services on the page

    5 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Cloudflare CDN and jQuery CDN and others), adding 316 KiB and 261 ms of main-thread time.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    200 ms · 52 KiB

    9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (52 KiB).

  • Document request latency

    250 ms

    The HTML itself could arrive about 250 ms sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.

  • Improve image delivery

    200 ms · 9 KiB

    1 image could be 9 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 12 KiB

    About 12 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 2 long tasks on the main thread

    2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 107 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Phones get a much slower page than desktops

    Desktop scores 93 but mobile only 68. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

  • 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: 0.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 216 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 1 ms

    1 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 1 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

7 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.

  • First Contentful Paint: 4.6 s

    4.6 s

    The first text or image appears after 4.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 5.5 s

    5.5 s

    Your largest element takes 5.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “TST-CF Express”.

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    Real visitors wait 1.1 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Speed Index: 4.6 s

    4.6 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 4.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 5.5 s

    5.5 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 5.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • 1 image without width and height

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

6 checks passed
  • 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: 80 ms

    80 ms

    Real visitors wait 80 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • 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).

  • Total Blocking Time: 39 ms

    39 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 39 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

100
  • About 0.1 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.10 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.10 g of CO₂e: 12.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

4 checks passed
  • Page weight: 373 KiB in 22 requests

    373 KiB

    Your homepage downloads 373 KiB in 22 requests on a phone: scripts 297 KiB (8), stylesheets 36 KiB (7) and images 18 KiB (2). That is a lean page.

  • 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

4 to fixGoogle 7892
  • <html> element must have a lang attribute (1 element)

    <html> element must have a lang attribute: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • Zoom is disabled

    The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

  • 3 links without text

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

  • No page language

    The <html> element has no lang attribute, so screen readers may read the page in the wrong voice and accent.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 6 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 27 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 30 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 27 passed and 3 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

7 to fixGoogle 10065
  • No meta description

    No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • Title is short (14 characters)

    Your title is only 14 characters: “TST-CF Express”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • No structured data

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

  • 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.

  • No XML sitemap

    No XML sitemap at https://tst-cfexpress.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

  • No favicon declared

    No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.

  • One H1 headline

    Your <h1> is empty.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

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

  • 55 internal links, 26 external

    The homepage links to 55 pages on tst-cfexpress.com and 26 external pages.

2 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.tst-cfexpress.com/.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place.

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://tst-cfexpress.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

100
  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 42 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

1 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 9263
  • No mobile viewport

    No viewport meta tag, so phones render the desktop layout zoomed out.

  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “The Content Security Policy directive 'upgrade-insecure-requests' is ignored when delivered in a report-only policy.”.

  • No HTML doctype

    The page has no <!DOCTYPE html>, so browsers render it in quirks mode.

  • 1 low-resolution image

    1 image is served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.

1 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

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

Content and conversion

4 to fix69
  • No social proof

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

  • A 8-field form

    Your longest form asks for 8 fields (0 required). Every extra field lowers completion.

  • 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.

  • Only about 7 words

    The homepage has only about 7 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Transit Schedule”.

  • 12 calls to action

    The homepage has 12 calls to action, for example “Holiday Schedule”, “My Address Book” and “Pickup Request”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics.

  • 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
  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

    Before 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.

  • 9 cookies set on arrival

    9

    Opening the homepage sets 9 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.

  • 7 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 7 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 tst-cfexpress.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
