Speed

8 to fix53
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    5.1 s · 1.0 MB

    About 1.0 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 5.1 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    5.7 s

    50 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 5.7 s.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    1.8 s · 340 KiB

    About 340 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.8 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.0 s · 270 KiB

    6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (270 KiB).

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (YouTube, Stripe and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 1.8 MB and 1.0 s of main-thread time.

  • Mobile performance score: 53

    53/100

    Your mobile performance score is 53 (desktop: 82). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • YouTube adds 539 ms

    539 ms

    YouTube costs a phone 539 ms of main-thread work and 993 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.

  • Main-thread work: 2.6 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 9 long tasks on the main thread

    9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 247 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Minify JavaScript

    150 ms · 14 KiB

    14 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Minify CSS

    150 ms · 6 KiB

    6 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Improve image delivery

    100 ms · 47 KiB

    3 images could be 47 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 100 ms faster on a phone.

  • Font display

    100 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).

  • Legacy JavaScript

    18 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 18 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Phones get a much slower page than desktops

    Desktop scores 82 but mobile only 53. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

  • 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.

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

5 to fix64
  • First Contentful Paint: 14.0 s

    14.0 s

    The first text or image appears after 14.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 19.9 s

    19.9 s

    Your largest element takes 19.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “ENGINEERING AND TECHNICAL SERVICES”.

  • Speed Index: 14.0 s

    14.0 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 14.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 20.6 s

    20.6 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 20.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • 8 images without width and height

    8 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: 168 ms

    168 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 168 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 3.2 MB in 134 requests

    3.2 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.2 MB in 134 requests on a phone: scripts 1.9 MB (53), images 693 KiB (21) and stylesheets 375 KiB (37). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.90 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.90 g of CO₂e: 107.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • 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

3 to fixGoogle 8795
  • 1 button without a name

    1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • 1 text element with low contrast

    1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • 5 links without text

    5 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • 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 20 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 47 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 51 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 4 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 8578
  • No meta description

    No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • Title is short (17 characters)

    Your title is only 17 characters: “Home - WR Systems”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image (also missing: og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 4 links with vague text

    4 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

  • 86 internal links, 9 external

    The homepage links to 86 pages on wrsystems.com and 9 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Engineering and Technical Services”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, Organization, WebPage and WebSite.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://wrsystems.com/sitemap.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 https://wrsystems.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.

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 (375 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 15 pages without a meta description

    https://wrsystems.com/our-story, https://wrsystems.com/our-leadership, https://wrsystems.com/our-approach, https://wrsystems.com/our-culture, https://wrsystems.com/our-responsibility and https://wrsystems.com/prime-contracts and 9 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 15 pages without an H1

    https://wrsystems.com/our-story, https://wrsystems.com/our-leadership, https://wrsystems.com/our-approach, https://wrsystems.com/our-culture, https://wrsystems.com/our-responsibility and https://wrsystems.com/prime-contracts and 9 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 31 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.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 5491
  • 5 third-party cookies

    5 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Mixed content”).

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    9 of 9 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix75
  • 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.

  • Only about 230 words

    The homepage has only about 230 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • 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 risk reducer

    No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

4 checks passed
  • 3 calls to action

    The homepage has 3 calls to action, for example “Contact” and “Contact Us”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: a star rating and 6 trust badges.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

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

  • 19 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 19 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 wrsystems.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
