Use efficient cache lifetimes
7.0 s · 28.0 MB40 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (28.0 MB).
Improve image delivery
4.7 s · 11.9 MB16 images could be 11.9 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.7 s faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.4 s · 1.0 MBAbout 1.0 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.4 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 49
49/100Your mobile performance score is 49. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 4.6 s
A phone's processor spends 4.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.0 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 Maps, Amplitude Mobile Analytics and Facebook and others), adding 2.1 MB and 1.6 s of main-thread time.
Google Maps adds 561 ms
561 msGoogle Maps costs a phone 561 ms of main-thread work and 812 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.
Render-blocking requests
550 ms5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 550 ms.
Amplitude Mobile Analytics adds 475 ms
475 msAmplitude Mobile Analytics costs a phone 475 ms of main-thread work and 513 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 403 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
1,611 HTML elements
The page has 1,611 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
searchallproperties.com adds 88 ms
88 mssearchallproperties.com costs a phone 88 ms of main-thread work and 478 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.
Reduce unused CSS
170 ms · 54 KiBAbout 54 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 170 ms faster on a phone.
Legacy JavaScript
37 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 37 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 11.4 s
11.4 sYour largest element takes 11.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “How to Buy the Best Home at the Lowest Price!”.
Time to Interactive: 21.7 s
21.7 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 21.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Total Blocking Time: 655 ms
655 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 655 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Speed Index: 6.0 s
6.0 sVisually, the page fills in at 6.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
First Contentful Paint: 2.9 s
2.9 sThe first text or image appears after 2.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
2 images without width and height
2 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.

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 29.5 MB in 105 requests
29.5 MBYour homepage downloads 29.5 MB in 105 requests on a phone: media 14.4 MB (3), images 13.1 MB (28) and scripts 1.7 MB (26). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
11 images over 500 KB
11 images weigh 11.9 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
16 images in older formats
16 images (12.8 MB) are 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.
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (1.0 MB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
1 image far larger than shown
236 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example market_home_banner_262777.jpg at 1,200 px wide, shown at 351 px. Resized copies would save about 236 KiB.
About 8.4 g of CO₂ per visit
8.37 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 8.37 g of CO₂e: 1004.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
2 buttons without a name
2 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
Unlabelled dropdowns
1 dropdown has no label.
3 text elements with low contrast
3 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Malformed lists
Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.
1 image without alt text
1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (3 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
9 links without text
9 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
5 form fields without a label
5 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h4, h2 → h4 and h4 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
48 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 56 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 48 passed and 8 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
35 links crawlers can't follow
35 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
No canonical URL
No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.
Meta description is long (181 characters)
Your meta description is 181 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
No XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at https://www.1031exchangecenter.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
12 internal links, 47 external
The homepage links to 12 pages on 1031exchangecenter.com and 47 external pages.
4 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Sell Your Home the Fastest Way & for the Most Money Possible with Our 100+ Point Marketing Plan”.
Title: 56 characters
Your title is a healthy 56 characters: “Brian Mathieson - 1031 Exchange Advisor - The 1031 Group”.
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.
AI search readiness
No Organization structured data
There is no Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants have no machine-readable facts about who runs the site: its name, logo, profiles and contact details.
No llms.txt
There is no https://www.1031exchangecenter.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 (1,938 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Best practices
15 small tap targets
15 of 33 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
Deprecated browser APIs
The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).
1 third-party cookie
1 third-party cookie is 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 (“Cookie”).
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
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.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
A 8-field form
Your longest form asks for 8 fields (2 required). Every extra field lowers completion.
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 512 words of copy
The homepage carries about 512 words of visible text.
4 checks passed

Privacy and tracking
2 trackers load before any consent

8 cookies set on arrival
8Opening the homepage sets 8 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.
24 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 24 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 1031exchangecenter.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
