Speed

11 to fix64
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    3.5 s · 452 KiB

    About 452 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.5 s 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.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    750 ms · 212 KiB

    4 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (212 KiB).

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Google Tag Manager and Google CDN and others), adding 2.6 MB and 464 ms of main-thread time.

  • Improve image delivery

    200 ms · 532 KiB

    20 images could be 532 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.

  • Shopify adds 281 ms

    281 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 281 ms of main-thread work and 1.9 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.

  • Minify JavaScript

    450 ms · 25 KiB

    25 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Render-blocking requests

    300 ms

    3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 300 ms.

  • Main-thread work: 2.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 946 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 1,761 HTML elements

    The page has 1,761 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • apphero.co adds 1 ms

    1 ms

    apphero.co costs a phone 1 ms of main-thread work and 372 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.

  • 5 long tasks on the main thread

    5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 144 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    14 KiB

    About 14 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    7 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 7 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Minify CSS

    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.

  • Server response: 12 ms

    12 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 12 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix65
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 16.3 s

    16.3 s

    Your largest element takes 16.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “WCD MEDICAL MEDICAL SUPPLIES YOU CAN TRUST, DELIVERED ACROS…”.

  • Time to Interactive: 17.2 s

    17.2 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 17.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 6.3 s

    6.3 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 6.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.8 s

    2.8 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 2 images without width and height

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

  • Not enough real-visitor data yet

    Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

2 checks passed
  • Total Blocking Time: 136 ms

    136 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 136 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.003

    0.003

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.003, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

3 to fix68
  • Page weight: 3.7 MB in 200 requests

    3.7 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.7 MB in 200 requests on a phone: images 1.2 MB (29), other files 1.1 MB (105) and scripts 1.0 MB (52). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 11 images below the first screen load straight away

    11 images further down the page (346 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • 1 image far larger than shown

    50 KiB

    1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example data_4.png at 1,254 px wide, shown at 72 px. Resized copies would save about 50 KiB.

  • About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.04 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.04 g of CO₂e: 124.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

Accessibility

3 to fixGoogle 9795
  • 5 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 6 images without alt text

    6 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • 2 form fields without a label

    2 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

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

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).

1 checks passed
  • 45 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 46 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 1 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

Google 100100
  • 187 internal links, 3 external

    The homepage links to 187 pages on wcdmedical.com and 3 external pages.

8 checks passed
  • Meta description: 148 characters

  • Title: 61 characters

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Structured data in place

  • 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://wcdmedical.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://wcdmedical.com/llms.txt, a short Markdown guide to your key pages for AI tools (llmstxt.org). It is optional and few AI tools read it yet, so treat it as a cheap extra.

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: 4 of 6 facts

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

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,129 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

100
  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 81 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

1 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    7 pages of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).

Best practices

  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

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

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix83
  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 2 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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 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 440 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 440 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Shop Medical Supplies” and “Quick order by SKU”.

  • 24 calls to action

    The homepage has 24 calls to action, for example “Sign up”, “Quick Order Form” and “Contact”.

  • 9 short forms

    9 short forms (3 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 4 trackers load before any consent

    4

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Meta Pixel (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.

  • 15 cookies set on arrival

    15

    Opening the homepage sets 15 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.

  • 16 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 16 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 wcdmedical.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 5 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
