Speed

8 to fix62
  • Avoid multiple page redirects

    11.1 s

    The page goes through 1 redirect before it starts loading, costing about 11.1 s. Link and advertise the final URL directly.

  • Main-thread work: 9.0 s

    A phone's processor spends 9.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 3,555 HTML elements

    The page has 3,555 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    870 ms · 202 KiB

    About 202 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 870 ms faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 62

    62/100

    Your mobile performance score is 62. 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 (Klaviyo, Key CDN and userway.org and others), adding 1.2 MB and 503 ms of main-thread time.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    500 ms · 39 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 39 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 500 ms faster on a phone.

  • Klaviyo adds 204 ms

    204 ms

    Klaviyo costs a phone 204 ms of main-thread work and 416 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 86 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    50 ms · 17 KiB

    7 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (17 KiB).

  • Improve image delivery

    23 KiB

    2 images could be 23 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    11 KiB

    About 11 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • 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.

  • Minify JavaScript

    3 KiB

    3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 18 ms

    18 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 18 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 12.5 s

    12.5 s

    Your largest element takes 12.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 19.0 s

    19.0 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 19.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 3.4 s

    3.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 3.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 6.7 s

    6.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 6.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Tap response (INP) got 35% slower for real visitors

    +35%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 107 ms to 144 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -4%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.4 s to 1.3 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

8 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

  • Real-user LCP: 1.3 s

    1.3 s

    Real visitors wait 1.3 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 176 ms

    176 ms

    Real visitors wait 176 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.1 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 673 ms

    673 ms

    Real visitors wait 673 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.008

    0.008

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.008, good is under 0.1).

  • Total Blocking Time: 48 ms

    48 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 48 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

3 to fix69
  • Page weight: 3.4 MB in 345 requests

    3.4 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.4 MB in 345 requests on a phone: scripts 1.2 MB (143), images 1.0 MB (80) and HTML 521 KiB (3). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    Hootin-Hauler-Main-Small.jpg 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).

  • 2 images far larger than shown

    60 KiB

    2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example catalog-ng.svg at 1,440 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 60 KiB.

  • About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.97 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.97 g of CO₂e: 116.2 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

7 to fixGoogle 9592
  • ARIA attributes must conform to valid values (8 elements)

    ARIA attributes must conform to valid values: 8 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • 2 tap targets too small

    2 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • Heading levels should only increase by one (1 element)

    Heading levels should only increase by one: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Zoom is disabled

    The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 1 form field without a label

    1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (9 elements)

    Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 9 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

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

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

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 100 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 49 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 55 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 passed and 6 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 10089
  • Title is long (67 characters)

    Your title is 67 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Wheels Manufacturing | Bicycle Derailleur hangers | Bottom Brackets”.

  • Structured data has 1 problem

    Structured data found (Organization, WebPage and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “Organization: logo is not an absolute URL ("https:Liquid error (snippets/json-structured-data line …”.

  • 207 internal links, 13 external

    The homepage links to 207 pages on wheelsmfg.com and 13 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 100 characters

    Your meta description is 100 characters: “We make high-quality bicycle bottom brackets, derailleur hangers, small parts, repair parts & tools.”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Wheels Mfg”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • 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://wheelsmfg.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
4 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 contact details; description would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,369 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

4 to fix68
  • 1 page without a title

    https://wheelsmfg.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.

  • 1 linked page hidden from search

    https://wheelsmfg.com/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

  • 1 page without a meta description

    https://wheelsmfg.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 page without an H1

    https://wheelsmfg.com/customer_authentication/redirect has 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 121 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

3 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.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9293
  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'register')”.

  • 12 low-resolution images

    12 images are served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    53 of 58 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix81
  • 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.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 13 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • No analytics detected

    No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

  • No opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • 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 644 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 644 words of visible text.

5 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “SHOP OUR CHAINRINGS” and “SHOP NOW”.

  • 38 calls to action

    The homepage has 38 calls to action, for example “shop Catalog”, “shop by color” and “Shop All Hangers”.

  • 15 short forms

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

  • Direct contact links

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

  • Phone number on the homepage

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

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 1 tracker load before any consent

    1

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Klaviyo (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.

  • 6 cookies set on arrival

    6

    Opening the homepage sets 6 cookies, 1 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.

  • 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 wheelsmfg.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 8 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.

Apps your storefront loads

Klaviyo Email Marketing Sms · Judge Me Reviews · Userway Website Accessibility · Easyban · Cvc Ext · Cartbite · kxcdn.com · cloudfront.net
