Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.2 s · 223 KiBAbout 223 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.2 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.0 s · 89 KiB6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (89 KiB).
Mobile performance score: 44
44/100Your mobile performance score is 44. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Reduce unused CSS
630 ms · 245 KiBAbout 245 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 630 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
750 ms4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 750 ms.
Improve image delivery
650 ms · 74 KiB1 image could be 74 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 650 ms faster on a phone.
5 third-party services on the page
5 third-party services load with your homepage (azure.com, Usercentrics CMP and FontAwesome CDN and others), adding 3.3 MB and 105 ms of main-thread time.
LongTail Ad Solutions adds 0 ms
0 msLongTail Ad Solutions costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 3.0 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.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 18 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 18 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 65 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
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.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 1.0 s
A phone's processor spends 1.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 379 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 11 ms
11 msYour server sent the HTML in 11 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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 15.0 MB in 49 requests
15.0 MBYour homepage downloads 15.0 MB in 49 requests on a phone: media 13.4 MB (1), scripts 562 KiB (19) and fonts 521 KiB (6). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image in older formats
1 image (85 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.
About 4.3 g of CO₂ per visit
4.25 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 4.25 g of CO₂e: 510.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
2 tap targets too small
2 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
3 form fields without a label
3 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
1 link without text
1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 4 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
53 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 56 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 53 passed and 3 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
robots.txt blocks all crawlers
Your robots.txt disallows the whole site for every crawler, so search engines are told to stay out.
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
Title is short (14 characters)
Your title is only 14 characters: “Welbilt - Home”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
2 links crawlers can't follow
2 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
34 internal links, 48 external
The homepage links to 34 pages on welbilt.com and 48 external pages.
4 checks passed
Meta description: 160 characters
Your meta description is 160 characters: “Welbilt brands: Cleveland, Convotherm, Delfield, Frymaster, Garland, INDUCS, Kolpak, Koolaire, Lincoln, Manitowoc Ice, …”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.welbilt.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: BreadcrumbList.
XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.welbilt.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
robots.txt blocks 3 AI answer engine crawlers
3 of 6Your robots.txt shuts out Claude search (Claude-SearchBot), Claude (Claude-User) and Perplexity (Perplexity-User). These fetch pages to answer people's questions and cite the source, so your site can't be quoted or linked in those answers.
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.
No llms.txt
There is no https://www.welbilt.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.
1 checks passed
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (602 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 linked page is broken
Your homepage links to https://www.welbilt.com/www.wbtkitchenconnect.com, which answers with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop it.
6 pages share 3 titles
https://www.welbilt.com/about-welbilt and https://www.welbilt.com/About-Welbilt all use the title “Welbilt - About”, and 2 other titles repeat too. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
14 pages share a meta description
https://www.welbilt.com/experience-center, https://www.welbilt.com/publications, https://www.welbilt.com/about-welbilt, https://www.welbilt.com/Contact, https://www.welbilt.com/our-brands and https://www.welbilt.com/Our-Locations/Our-Locations and 8 others use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
4 links to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 4 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example https://www.welbilt.com/publications, whose canonical is https://www.welbilt.com/Publications. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
10 pages without an H1
https://www.welbilt.com/publications, https://www.welbilt.com/Contact, https://www.welbilt.com/our-brands, https://www.welbilt.com/Our-Locations/Our-Locations, https://www.welbilt.com/our-locations and https://www.welbilt.com/Our-Brands and 4 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 16 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
3 checks passed
Every page has a meta description
All 14 pages that loaded have a meta description.

Every page has a title
All 14 pages that loaded have a <title>.
Best practices

Missing source maps
Large scripts ship without source maps.

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.
Phone number is not tap-to-call
Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.
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 370 words of copy
The homepage carries about 370 words of visible text.
5 checks passed
