Speed

14 to fix33
  • Render-blocking requests

    4.8 s

    57 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 MB

    About 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 KiB

    28 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (496 KiB).

  • Google CDN adds 1.5 s

    1.5 s

    Google 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

    33/100

    Your 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 KiB

    8 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 KiB

    About 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 ms

    Google 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 ms

    Usercentrics 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 ms

    Hubspot 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 ms

    site.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 KiB

    Polyfills 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 ms

    Web 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 KiB

    2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 4 ms

    4 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

9 to fix100
  • 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: 17.4 s

    17.4 s

    Your largest element takes 17.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 41.6 s

    41.6 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 41.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 5.8 s

    5.8 s

    The 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 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 11.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    Scripts 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 ms

    Real 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).

4 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    Real visitors wait 1.7 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.07

    0.07

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.07 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.7 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 8.5 MB in 243 requests

    8.5 MB

    Your 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 g

    By 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

6 to fixGoogle 9093
  • 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

1 to fixGoogle 10093
  • 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

    Your meta description is 141 characters: “Empowering connections through assistive communication technologies with Williams AV Wi-Fi, Digital, FM, Infrared, and …”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Williams AV”.

  • 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

    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://williamsav.com/sitemap_index.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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

2 to fix88
  • 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.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 58 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 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.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9687
  • 8 small tap targets

    8 of 19 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 4 JavaScript errors while loading

    4 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Uncaught TypeError: window.grecaptcha.render is not a function”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

4 to fix67
  • 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.

5 checks passed
  • 4 calls to action

    The homepage has 4 calls to action, for example “Contact Us” and “Where to Buy”.

  • 3 short forms

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

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics and HubSpot.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 2 phone links and 0 email links.

  • Phone number on the homepage

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

Privacy and tracking

  • 4 trackers load before any consent

    4

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and HubSpot (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (Usercentrics) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 14 cookies set on arrival

    14

    Opening the homepage sets 14 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 32 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 32 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: Usercentrics

    A consent management tool (Usercentrics) loads with the page.

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 williamsav.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
