One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
3 third-party services on the page
3 third-party services load with your homepage (Vimeo, LinkedIn Ads and Google Fonts), adding 23.1 MB and 290 ms of main-thread time.
Vimeo adds 261 ms
261 msVimeo costs a phone 261 ms of main-thread work and 23.0 MB 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 JavaScript
900 ms · 193 KiBAbout 193 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 57
57/100Your mobile performance score is 57 (desktop: 98). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Main-thread work: 3.0 s
A phone's processor spends 3.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Render-blocking requests
300 ms2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 300 ms.
12 long tasks on the main thread
12 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 255 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
43 KiB5 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (43 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
23 KiBAbout 23 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 98 but mobile only 57. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.
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: 20 ms
20 msYour server sent the HTML in 20 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
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.
Largest Contentful Paint: 6.9 s
6.9 sYour largest element takes 6.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Vibrant is an R2v3 certified IT Asset Disposition and elect…”.
First Contentful Paint: 4.4 s
4.4 sThe first text or image appears after 4.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Real-user FCP: 2.1 s
2.1 sReal visitors see the first content after 2.1 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
Speed Index: 5.7 s
5.7 sVisually, the page fills in at 5.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Time to Interactive: 7.1 s
7.1 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 7.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Total Blocking Time: 213 ms
213 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 213 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
1 image without width and height
1 image have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Largest content (LCP) got 18% slower for real visitors
+18%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.1 s to 2.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Real-user CLS: 0.10
0.10For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.10 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.093
0.093The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.093, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 23.1 MB in 28 requests
23.1 MBYour homepage downloads 23.1 MB in 28 requests on a phone: other files 22.4 MB (13), scripts 338 KiB (5) and images 272 KiB (4). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image in older formats
1 image (30 KiB) is 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.
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (30 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 6.6 g of CO₂ per visit
6.55 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 6.55 g of CO₂e: 786.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
26 text elements with low contrast
26 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (16 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 16 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.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 1 image 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 41 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 37 passed and 4 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 long (82 characters)
Your title is 82 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “R2v3 Certified IT Asset Disposition & Electronics Recycling | Vibrant Technologies”.
Meta description is long (224 characters)
Your meta description is 224 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
Structured data has 3 problems
Structured data found (Organization and Service) but with 3 problems, for example “Organization: logo is not an absolute URL ("https://vibrant.com/assets/vibrant-logo.png")”.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
66 internal links, 7 external
The homepage links to 66 pages on vibrant.com and 7 external pages.

AI search readiness

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 opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
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.
About 1,032 words of copy
The homepage carries about 1,032 words of visible text.
5 checks passed

Phone number on the homepage

4 cookies set on arrival
4Opening the homepage sets 4 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.
9 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 9 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 vibrant.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
