Speed

6 to fix64
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.7 s

    13 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.7 s.

  • Improve image delivery

    450 ms · 1.2 MB

    31 images could be 1.2 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 64

    64/100

    Your mobile performance score is 64. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    450 ms · 98 KiB

    About 98 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    300 ms · 73 KiB

    About 73 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • 1,691 HTML elements

    The page has 1,691 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Shopify and Trust Pilot and others), adding 353 KiB and 181 ms of main-thread time.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    150 ms · 27 KiB

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

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    150 ms · 8 KiB

    8 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles. 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 111 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • Minify CSS

    20 ms · 6 KiB

    6 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • 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: 1.0 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 421 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 9 ms

    9 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 9 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 15.9 s

    15.9 s

    Your largest element takes 15.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Miele Products”.

  • Time to Interactive: 16.5 s

    16.5 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 16.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 8.1 s

    8.1 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 8.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 38 images without width and height

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

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.3 s

    2.3 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    0%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 77 ms to 78 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    +7%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.0 s to 1.1 s 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: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    Real visitors wait 1.1 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 76 ms

    76 ms

    Real visitors wait 76 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.05

    0.05

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.05 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 0.9 s

    0.9 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 0.9 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 529 ms

    529 ms

    Real visitors wait 529 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

  • Total Blocking Time: 44 ms

    44 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 44 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

3 to fix43
  • Page weight: 4.4 MB in 204 requests

    4.4 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.4 MB in 204 requests on a phone: images 2.7 MB (69), other files 758 KiB (84) and scripts 469 KiB (30). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 14 images far larger than shown

    693 KiB

    14 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example DysonDC07DC14HEPAPostFilter_800x.jpg at 800 px wide, shown at 150 px. Resized copies would save about 693 KiB.

  • 20 images below the first screen load straight away

    20 images further down the page (1.2 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • 2 images in older formats

    2 images (91 KiB) are JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.

  • About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.24 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.24 g of CO₂e: 148.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

11 to fixGoogle 6884
  • Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children (1 element)

    Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • 1 button without a name

    1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • 31 text elements with low contrast

    31 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • 8 tap targets too small

    8 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • Orphan list items

    Some list items are not inside a list.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (75 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 75 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.

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Zoom is disabled

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

  • 5 links without text

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

  • 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 (h2 → h5, h3 → h5 and h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 65 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 37 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 37 passed and 11 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

5 to fixGoogle 8585
  • No structured data

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

  • 25 links with vague text

    25 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

  • Meta description is long (162 characters)

    Your meta description is 162 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 7 links crawlers can't follow

    7 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

  • 141 internal links, 6 external

    The homepage links to 141 pages on vacuumdirect.com and 6 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “View Our Current Sales and Promotions!”.

  • Title: 58 characters

    Your title is a healthy 58 characters: “Vacuum Direct | Dyson | Miele | SEBO | Rug Doctor and More”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://vacuumdirect.com/.

  • 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://vacuumdirect.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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.

3 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 (10,512 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (5 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

100
  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 57 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

7 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 15 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9687
  • 48 small tap targets

    48 of 91 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 4 JavaScript errors while loading

    4 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://ipinfo.io/json?hash=0.32110700468372155' from origin 'https://vacuumdirect.com' ha…”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

1 to fix92
  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 1 trust badge. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • Phone number is not tap-to-call

    Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.

  • About 792 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 792 words of visible text.

5 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Contact Us” and “SHOP BY BRAND”.

  • 6 calls to action

    The homepage has 6 calls to action, for example “Contact Us”, “SHOP BY BRAND” and “Learn More”.

  • 26 short forms

    26 short forms (2 fields at most) are right on the homepage.

  • 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.

  • 11 cookies set on arrival

    11

    Opening the homepage sets 11 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.

  • 19 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 19 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 vacuumdirect.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
