Speed
Render-blocking requests
750 ms1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 750 ms.
Reduce unused JavaScript
480 ms · 70 KiBAbout 70 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 480 ms faster on a phone.
3 third-party services on the page
3 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Google Fonts and Google Analytics), adding 215 KiB and 93 ms of main-thread time.
2 long tasks on the main thread
2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 55 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
4 KiB1 file is served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (4 KiB).

Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 3.2 s
3.2 sYour largest element takes 3.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Hello Upcycle Holdings was founded by software industry vet…”.
Speed Index: 3.4 s
3.4 sVisually, the page fills in at 3.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Not enough real-visitor data yet
Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.
4 checks passed

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

Images and page weight
About 0.08 g of CO₂ per visit
0.08 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.08 g of CO₂e: 9.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Page weight: 275 KiB in 6 requests
275 KiBYour homepage downloads 275 KiB in 6 requests on a phone: scripts 164 KiB (1), fonts 48 KiB (1) and images 35 KiB (1). That is a lean page.
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.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (9 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 9 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
1 checks passed
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
Title is short (16 characters)
Your title is only 16 characters: “Upcycle Holdings”. 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.
Only 0 internal links
The homepage links to only 0 pages on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.
No favicon declared
No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.
6 checks passed
Meta description: 143 characters
Your meta description is 143 characters: “Upcycle Holdings was founded by software industry veterans Joe Floyd and Kris Gholson. We are acquiring and growing ear…”.
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Hello”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://upcycleholdings.com/.
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://upcycleholdings.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
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://upcycleholdings.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.
Best practices
1 JavaScript error while loading
1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()”.
2 checks passed
Tap targets are thumb-sized
5 of 5 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
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.
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.
Only about 52 words
The homepage has only about 52 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.
5 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Get in touch”.
1 call to action
The homepage has 1 call to action, for example “Get in touch”.
1 short form
A short form (4 fields at most) is right on the homepage, asking for an email.
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
2 trackers load before any consent
2Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads 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.
2 cookies set on arrival
2Opening the homepage sets 2 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.
4 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 4 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 upcycleholdings.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
