Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Render-blocking requests
4.8 s57 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 4.8 s.
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.3 s · 2.4 MBAbout 2.4 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.3 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.4 s · 496 KiB28 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (496 KiB).
Google CDN adds 1.5 s
1.5 sGoogle CDN costs a phone 1.5 s of main-thread work and 3.0 MB 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: 33
33/100Your mobile performance score is 33 (desktop: 46). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 7.1 s
A phone's processor spends 7.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Usercentrics CMP and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 5.2 MB and 2.6 s of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
550 ms · 420 KiB8 images could be 420 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 550 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 63 KiBAbout 63 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Google Tag Manager adds 286 ms
286 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 286 ms of main-thread work and 520 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.
Usercentrics CMP adds 312 ms
312 msUsercentrics CMP costs a phone 312 ms of main-thread work and 258 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.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 299 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Hubspot adds 178 ms
178 msHubspot costs a phone 178 ms of main-thread work and 309 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.
site.com adds 14 ms
14 mssite.com costs a phone 14 ms of main-thread work and 731 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.
Legacy JavaScript
100 ms · 26 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 26 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 100 ms faster on a phone.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
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
2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

41.6 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 41.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
First Contentful Paint: 5.8 s
5.8 sThe first text or image appears after 5.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Speed Index: 11.4 s
11.4 sVisually, the page fills in at 11.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Total Blocking Time: 1.1 s
1.1 sScripts block taps and scrolling for 1.1 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Tap response (INP) got 21% slower for real visitors
+21%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 89 ms to 112 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Real-user TTFB: 838 ms
838 msReal visitors wait 838 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
2 images without width and height
2 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Largest content (LCP) got 15% slower for real visitors
+15%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.4 s to 2.8 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
Page weight: 8.5 MB in 243 requests
8.5 MBYour homepage downloads 8.5 MB in 243 requests on a phone: scripts 5.1 MB (101), other files 1.4 MB (26) and images 785 KiB (34). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image in older formats
1 image (94 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 2.4 g of CO₂ per visit
2.41 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.41 g of CO₂e: 289.6 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
11 tap targets too small
11 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
8 text elements with low contrast
8 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Links look like plain text
1 link inside paragraphs relies on colour alone to stand out.
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.
7 links without text
7 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
3 form fields without a label
3 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 15 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
54 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 59 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 54 passed and 5 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is short (25 characters)
Your title is only 25 characters: “Williams AV - Williams AV”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
139 internal links, 8 external
The homepage links to 139 pages on williamsav.com and 8 external pages.
7 checks passed
Meta description: 141 characters

Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://williamsav.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, ImageObject, Organization, WebPage and WebSite.
Open Graph tags complete

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://williamsav.com/sitemap_index.xml.
AI search readiness
Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)
Your Organization JSON-LD is missing sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.
No llms.txt
There is no /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.
2 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.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (457 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 linked page hidden from search
/events/category/events is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.
8 pages without a meta description
/category/news, /events/category/events, /category/press-releases, /press-center, /about-us and /about-us/sustainability and 2 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

Content and conversion
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 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.
Only about 226 words
The homepage has only about 226 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
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.
