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
1,967 HTML elements
The page has 1,967 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, Klaviyo and cookiefirst.com and others), adding 501 KiB and 269 ms of main-thread time.
2 long tasks on the main thread
2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 184 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
100 ms · 63 KiB10 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (63 KiB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
114 KiBAbout 114 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Render-blocking requests
100 ms5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 100 ms.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Reduce unused CSS
40 KiBAbout 40 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Legacy JavaScript
19 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 19 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Improve image delivery
14 KiB3 images could be 14 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
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.

Total Blocking Time: 87 ms
87 msScripts block the page for only 87 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
black_friday_category_thin.jpg 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).
About 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit
0.47 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.47 g of CO₂e: 55.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Page weight: 1.6 MB in 178 requests
1.6 MBYour homepage downloads 1.6 MB in 178 requests on a phone: other files 762 KiB (98), scripts 587 KiB (52) and fonts 170 KiB (5). That is a lean page.
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
<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.
Malformed lists
Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.
2 images without alt text
2 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (3 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
2 links without text
2 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.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (11 elements).
1 checks passed
46 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 50 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 4 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (73 characters)
Your title is 73 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “VanMats.co.uk - UK Van Mats from £23.99 - Tailored to fit – VanMats.co.uk”.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
Meta description is long (188 characters)
Your meta description is 188 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
1 link with vague text
1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.
203 internal links, 6 external
The homepage links to 203 pages on vanmats.co.uk and 6 external pages.
5 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “UK Made Perfect Fit Van Mats”.

XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://vanmats.co.uk/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness

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.

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.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No map or directions link

6 checks passed

18 cookies set on arrival
18Opening the homepage sets 18 cookies, 2 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.
21 other companies contacted

Security, domain, email and software versions
