Speed
Render-blocking requests
1.2 s5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.2 s.
Mobile performance score: 86
86/100Your mobile performance score is 86. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused CSS
600 ms · 136 KiBAbout 136 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.
3 third-party services on the page
3 third-party services load with your homepage (Squarespace, sqspcdn.com and squarespace-cdn.com), adding 1.5 MB and 433 ms of main-thread time.
Squarespace adds 418 ms
418 msSquarespace costs a phone 418 ms of main-thread work and 925 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.
Improve image delivery
419 KiB7 images could be 419 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Reduce unused JavaScript
339 KiBAbout 339 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
squarespace-cdn.com adds 0 ms
0 mssquarespace-cdn.com costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 493 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.
2 long tasks on the main thread
2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 196 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
95 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 95 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.

Main-thread work: 0.8 s
A phone's processor spends 0.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 375 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 27 ms
27 msYour server sent the HTML in 27 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Speed Index: 6.4 s
6.4 sVisually, the page fills in at 6.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Time to Interactive: 8.1 s
8.1 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 8.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
First Contentful Paint: 2.7 s
2.7 sThe first text or image appears after 2.7 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 2.7 s
2.7 sYour largest element takes 2.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “We empower brands that make the world a better place.”. Most of its time is element render delay (2.5 s).
1 image without width and height
1 image 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: 91 ms
91 msScripts block the page for only 91 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
1 image far larger than shown
37 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example 8strains-lockup-black+copy.png at 390 px wide, shown at 113 px. Resized copies would save about 37 KiB.
About 0.4 g of CO₂ per visit
0.42 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.42 g of CO₂e: 50.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Page weight: 1.5 MB in 52 requests
1.5 MBYour homepage downloads 1.5 MB in 52 requests on a phone: scripts 841 KiB (33), images 446 KiB (8) and stylesheets 161 KiB (7). That is a lean page.
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 9 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
31 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 32 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 31 passed and 1 failed. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No meta description
No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
Structured data has 2 problems
Structured data found (LocalBusiness and WebSite) but with 2 problems, for example “WebSite: image is not an absolute URL ("//images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6912c2ed5256707092a…”.
Only 3 internal links
The homepage links to only 3 pages on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.
Open Graph partly set
Open Graph is missing og:description, so shared links fall back to guesses.
4 checks passed
Title: 30 characters
Your title is a healthy 30 characters: “108 | Architecting Experiences”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.108studio.co/.
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://www.108studio.co/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
Organization data is thin (0 of 6 facts)
Your Organization JSON-LD is missing name, url, logo, 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.
1 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.
Best practices
2 JavaScript errors while loading
2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://static1.squarespace.com/static/versioned-site-css/6912c2ed5256707092ae95ab/12/5c5a…”.
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set

Security and trust
No Content-Security-Policy
No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
Short HSTS lifetime
HSTS is set, but max-age is 180 days; one year is the recommended minimum.
No Referrer-Policy
No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.
No Permissions-Policy
No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.
No security.txt
There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.
6 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (108studio.co).
Valid certificate (31 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YR2 verifies for 108studio.co and is valid for another 31 days.
Protected from clickjacking
X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.
http:// redirects to https
http://108studio.co redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2
The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.
All 2 links work
All 2 links checked from your homepage (2 internal, 0 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
108studio.co has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.
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 calls to action
We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
No phone number on the homepage
A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
No direct contact details
No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.
Only about 22 words
The homepage has only about 22 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 form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
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.
1 checks passed
LocalBusiness structured data
Your homepage describes the business with LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants can read its address, hours and phone reliably.
Email authentication
No DMARC policy
108studio.co has no DMARC record, so nothing tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF or DKIM. Gmail and Yahoo require DMARC from bulk senders.
Email authentication score: 45/100
Email authentication: SPF record 25 points, plus 15 when it ends in -all (10 for ~all); DMARC record 25, plus 25 for a reject policy (15 for quarantine); a DKIM key on a common selector 10.
2 checks passed
SPF in place (~all)

DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “google”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
3 cookies set on arrival
