Speed

13 to fix55
  • Improve image delivery

    14.1 s · 10.9 MB

    33 images could be 10.9 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 14.1 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    3.4 s

    13 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.4 s.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.4 s · 608 KiB

    About 608 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.4 s faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    1.9 s · 393 KiB

    About 393 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.9 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.2 s · 289 KiB

    6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (289 KiB).

  • Mobile performance score: 55

    55/100

    Your mobile performance score is 55 (desktop: 66). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, web.app and watermelon.ai and others), adding 1,020 KiB and 569 ms of main-thread time.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    400 ms · 73 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 73 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 400 ms faster on a phone.

  • Minify JavaScript

    300 ms · 62 KiB

    62 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 251 ms

    251 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 251 ms of main-thread work and 323 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.

  • Main-thread work: 2.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 810 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 1,805 HTML elements

    The page has 1,805 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • web.app adds 98 ms

    98 ms

    web.app costs a phone 98 ms of main-thread work and 315 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.

  • 4 long tasks on the main thread

    4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 208 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    200 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 200 ms).

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 101 ms

    101 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 101 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

8 to fix50
  • 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.

  • Real-user LCP: 4.7 s

    4.7 s

    Real visitors wait 4.7 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user FCP: 3.4 s

    3.4 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 3.4 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 33.2 s

    33.2 s

    Your largest element takes 33.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.

  • Time to Interactive: 36.5 s

    36.5 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 36.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 5.1 s

    5.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 5.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 8.2 s

    8.2 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 8.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    Real visitors wait 1.7 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    +3%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-10, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 4.6 s to 4.4 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

3 checks passed
  • Real-user CLS: 0.09

    0.09

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.09 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Total Blocking Time: 184 ms

    184 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 184 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.016

    0.016

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.016, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

5 to fix14
  • Page weight: 16.1 MB in 130 requests

    16.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 16.1 MB in 130 requests on a phone: images 12.7 MB (54), fonts 1.4 MB (13) and scripts 1.3 MB (33). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 8 images over 500 KB

    8 images weigh 7.0 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 12 images far larger than shown

    4.5 MB

    12 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example ChatGPT-Image-17-sept-2026-01_58_30-p.m.png at 1,536 px wide, shown at 340 px. Resized copies would save about 4.5 MB.

  • 17 images in older formats

    17 images (9.1 MB) 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.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    SOUND-1.png 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 4.6 g of CO₂ per visit

    4.55 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 4.55 g of CO₂e: 546.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

5 to fixGoogle 8191
  • Hidden but focusable

    40 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.

  • 2 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 18 images without alt text

    18 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.

  • 10 links without text

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

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h5 and h1 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 41 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 47 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 41 passed and 6 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 8593
  • 11 H1 headlines

    There are 11 <h1> headlines (“Powered by unmatched expertise and capabilities, …”, “Murata EOL Replacement” and “Industries We Serve”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • 23 links with vague text

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

  • 104 internal links, 5 external

    The homepage links to 104 pages on vcc.co and 5 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 157 characters

    Your meta description is 157 characters: “VCC manufactures the world’s largest ranges of illuminated HMI products. LED indicators, LED light Pipes, Custom Light …”.

  • Title: 56 characters

    Your title is a healthy 56 characters: “VCC - HMI Components | Custom Light Pipes | PCB Assembly”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://vcc.co/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, ImageObject, WebPage 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://vcc.co/sitemap_index.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 (455 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://vcc.co/llms.txt (21 KiB, 0 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

1 to fix98
  • 2 pages share a meta description

    https://vcc.co/product-category/sound-devices and https://vcc.co/product-category/switches use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 44 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 9291
  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://chatwidget-css.web.app/assets/widget-button.module.css?v=18d526b18b5cf311' from or…”.

  • 12 distorted images

    12 images are displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so they look stretched or squashed.

  • 1 low-resolution image

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

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    31 of 32 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

1 to fix83
  • 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.

  • 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.

  • About 457 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 457 words of visible text.

5 checks passed
  • 7 calls to action

    The homepage has 7 calls to action, for example “Purchase Order T&C”, “Contact us” and “Where to Buy”.

  • 18 short forms

    18 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 18 customer or partner logos and “Over 30,000 Businesses”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 1 email link.

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.

  • 20 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 20 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 vcc.co, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
