wvbandcoms.uk website review

About 779 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.0 s faster on a phone.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and Shopify and others), adding 1.5 MB and 959 ms of main-thread time.

Your mobile performance score is 52. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 600 ms.

About 107 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.

A phone's processor spends 3.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.7 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

Shopify costs a phone 175 ms of main-thread work and 705 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.

Google CDN costs a phone 160 ms of main-thread work and 384 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.

6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 226 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (34 KiB).

Polyfills for old browsers add 6 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 50 ms faster on a phone.

5 images could be 27 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

5 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Your largest element takes 12.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Two-Way Radio Accessories for the United Kingdom Choose Pro…”.

The page becomes fully interactive after 18.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

The first text or image appears after 5.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 7.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 302 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

4 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

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.

Your homepage downloads 3.2 MB in 347 requests on a phone: scripts 1.8 MB (122), other files 973 KiB (172) and images 239 KiB (38). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.90 g of CO₂e: 108.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 dropdowns have no label.

1 element use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.

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

3 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

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

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

3 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.

Your title is 71 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Waveband Communications - United Kingdom – Waveband Communications - UK”.

Structured data found (LocalBusiness, Organization and WebSite) but with 2 problems, for example “Organization: url points at a different host (https://www.wvbandcoms.com/)”.

1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.

Your <h1> is empty.

The homepage links to 116 pages on wvbandcoms.uk and 12 external pages.

https://wvbandcoms.uk/collections/chargers-conditioners-analyzers-1 and https://wvbandcoms.uk/collections/two-way-radio-headsets have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 60 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()”.

On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

Social proof on the homepage: 2 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.

There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

The homepage carries about 510 words of visible text.

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

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

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.

Loading the homepage contacts 33 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
