Speed

12 to fix22
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.9 s · 918 KiB

    About 918 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.9 s faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    2.5 s · 555 KiB

    13 images could be 555 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.5 s faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    1.5 s · 174 KiB

    About 174 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.5 s faster on a phone.

  • Main-thread work: 12.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 12.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 1.1 s of main-thread work and 977 KiB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

  • Mobile performance score: 22

    22/100

    Your mobile performance score is 22 (desktop: 42). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • 7,358 HTML elements

    The page has 7,358 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 Google CDN and others), adding 2.4 MB and 1.8 s of main-thread time.

  • Render-blocking requests

    900 ms

    4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 900 ms.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 505 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Shopify adds 253 ms

    253 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 253 ms of main-thread work and 701 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.

  • Google CDN adds 192 ms

    192 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 192 ms of main-thread work and 297 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.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    150 ms · 88 KiB

    14 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (88 KiB).

  • Minify CSS

    150 ms · 21 KiB

    21 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 42 ms

    42 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 42 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

8 to fix67
  • 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: 19.8 s

    19.8 s

    Your largest element takes 19.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “2027 VP Racing Calendar”.

  • Time to Interactive: 30.7 s

    30.7 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 30.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 13.6 s

    13.6 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 13.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 2.7 s

    2.7 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 2.7 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 3.8 s

    3.8 s

    The first text or image appears after 3.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.20

    0.20

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.20 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.166

    0.166

    The layout shifts by 0.166 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 14% slower for real visitors

    +14%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.9 s to 2.1 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

5 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 2.4 s

    2.4 s

    Real visitors wait 2.4 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 172 ms

    172 ms

    Real visitors wait 172 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.3 s

    1.3 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.3 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 475 ms

    475 ms

    Real visitors wait 475 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) got 16% faster for real visitors

    -16%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 166 ms to 143 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 4.7 MB in 267 requests

    4.7 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.7 MB in 267 requests on a phone: scripts 2.3 MB (108), images 1.1 MB (29) and fonts 725 KiB (16). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 6 images in older formats

    6 images (356 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.

  • 4 images below the first screen load straight away

    4 images further down the page (216 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 1.3 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.35 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.35 g of CO₂e: 161.5 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

5 to fixGoogle 9193
  • 3 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Frames without titles

    2 frames have no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what they contain.

  • Links look like plain text

    2 links inside paragraphs rely on colour alone to stand out.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (21 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 21 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 1 link without text

    1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (14 elements).

1 checks passed
  • 52 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 57 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 52 passed and 5 failed. 6 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 9286
  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • Only 0 internal links

    The homepage links to only 0 pages on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.

  • 6 links with vague text

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

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 156 characters

    Your meta description is 156 characters: “VP Racing Fuels is your one-stop shop for premium race fuels, lubricants, coolants, fuel additives, small engine fuels,…”.

  • Title: 59 characters

    Your title is a healthy 59 characters: “VP Racing Fuels: Race Fuels, Fuel Additives, Oils, Coolants”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: ItemList, 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://vpracingfuels.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix75
  • Most text only appears after JavaScript runs

    0%

    A phone browser shows 590 words, but the HTML your server sends has only 0. GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot read that HTML without running JavaScript, so they see an almost empty page. Server-side rendering or pre-rendering fixes it.

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.

  • Organization data: 5 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles) and description; contact details would complete it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://vpracingfuels.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9293
  • 5 JavaScript errors while loading

    5 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Invalid left-hand side in assignment”.

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

  • 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

    16 of 19 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

5 to fix43
  • 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 calls to action

    We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.

  • 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 direct contact details

    No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

  • 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 590 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 590 words of visible text.

2 checks passed
  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Meta Pixel.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call 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.

  • 13 cookies set on arrival

    13

    Opening the homepage sets 13 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.

  • 30 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 30 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 vpracingfuels.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
