Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Mobile performance score: 42
42/100Your mobile performance score is 42. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
6,939 HTML elements
The page has 6,939 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Main-thread work: 6.3 s
A phone's processor spends 6.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.1 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 CDN, Shopify and Clarity and others), adding 1.2 MB and 1.3 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
920 ms · 337 KiBAbout 337 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 920 ms faster on a phone.
Google CDN adds 577 ms
577 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 577 ms of main-thread work and 332 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.
Render-blocking requests
450 ms6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 417 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Shopify adds 279 ms
279 msShopify costs a phone 279 ms of main-thread work and 558 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.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 17 KiBAbout 17 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
56 KiB10 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (56 KiB).
Improve image delivery
34 KiB1 image could be 34 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
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.

Server response: 9 ms
9 msYour server sent the HTML in 9 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 7.5 s
7.5 sYour largest element takes 7.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Time to Interactive: 12.2 s
12.2 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 12.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Total Blocking Time: 993 ms
993 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 993 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
First Contentful Paint: 3.5 s
3.5 sThe first text or image appears after 3.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Speed Index: 6.1 s
6.1 sVisually, the page fills in at 6.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
60 images without width and height
60 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) got 17% slower for real visitors
+17%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 109 ms to 130 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.6 MB in 244 requests
2.6 MBYour homepage downloads 2.6 MB in 244 requests on a phone: scripts 1.0 MB (73), other files 759 KiB (99) and images 365 KiB (29). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit
0.73 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.73 g of CO₂e: 87.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
7 tap targets too small
7 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
Malformed lists
Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (10 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 10 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
83 text elements with low contrast
83 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
Frames without titles
1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (8 elements)
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 8 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 32 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
40 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 45 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 40 passed and 5 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
One H1 headline
Your <h1> is empty.
425 internal links, 9 external
The homepage links to 425 pages on ussolid.com and 9 external pages.
7 checks passed
Meta description: 145 characters

Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://ussolid.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: 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://ussolid.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
No llms.txt
There is no /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.
Opted out of AI training for 1 crawler
robots.txt blocks CCBot, which collect pages to train models. That's a legitimate choice and doesn't by itself stop the site appearing in AI answers, which the crawlers above handle.
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.
Organization data: 4 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.
Other pages
8 pages without an H1
/collections/valves-us-solid-html, /collections/motorized-ball-valves-html, /collections/1-4-motorized-ball-valves-html, /collections/1-2-inch-motorized-ball-valves-html, /collections/3-4-motorized-ball-valves-html and /collections/brass-motorized-ball-valves-html and 2 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

Best practices
1 JavaScript error while loading
1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Error: email cannot be empty!”.
2 checks passed
Tap targets are thumb-sized
24 of 25 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
No call to action on the first screen
On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.
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.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: a star rating. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
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 43 words
The homepage has only about 43 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.
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.
2 checks passed
5 calls to action
The homepage has 5 calls to action, for example “Türkiye TRY ₺”, “Contact” and “Contact information”.
7 short forms
7 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.
Privacy and tracking
4 trackers load before any consent
4Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel, Microsoft Ads and Microsoft Clarity (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, 9 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.
13 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 13 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 ussolid.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
Apps on your store
Your storefront loads 4 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
Apps your storefront loads
Blockify Fraud Filter · Region Restrictions · Ecomsend · Packing Ymal
