10up.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.3 s · 1.7 MB12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.7 MB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.5 s · 163 KiBAbout 163 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.5 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 58
58/100Your mobile performance score is 58. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
5 third-party services on the page
5 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Hubspot and Adobe TypeKit and others), adding 1.2 MB and 610 ms of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
450 ms · 263 KiB14 images could be 263 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
450 ms2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.
Google Tag Manager adds 412 ms
412 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 412 ms of main-thread work and 311 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 on the main thread
6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 342 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Main-thread work: 2.3 s
A phone's processor spends 2.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Cloudinary adds 0 ms
0 msCloudinary costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 541 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
150 ms · 20 KiBAbout 20 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Font display
50 msWeb 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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.9 MB in 74 requests
2.9 MBYour homepage downloads 2.9 MB in 74 requests on a phone: media 1.6 MB (1), images 558 KiB (41) and scripts 502 KiB (14). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
7 images below the first screen load straight away
7 images further down the page (191 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit
0.83 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.83 g of CO₂e: 99.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
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.
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.
1 link without text
1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 37 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
42 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 45 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 42 passed and 3 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
Open Graph partly set
Open Graph is missing og:description, so shared links fall back to guesses.
28 internal links, 8 external
The homepage links to 28 pages on 10up.com and 8 external pages.
6 checks passed

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 /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 (480 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
6 pages without a meta description
/blog, /blog/2025/new-fueled-brand-10up-becomes-wordpress-practice, /blog/2024/salesforces-salesblazer-wins-project-of-the-year, /blog/2025/classifai-updates-roundup-a-more-powerful-flexible-ai-toolkit-for-wordpress, /blog/2026/wordcamp-us-2026 and /blog/2026/official-wordpress-browser-extension-by-jake-goldman have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

Analytics in place

Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be 10up.com is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.
Email authentication score: 70/100
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
