Speed
Improve image delivery
600 ms · 3.0 MB7 images could be 3.0 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, website-files.com and Embedly and others), adding 6.5 MB and 510 ms of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 69
69/100Your mobile performance score is 69 (desktop: 75). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
850 ms6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 850 ms.
website-files.com adds 106 ms
106 mswebsite-files.com costs a phone 106 ms of main-thread work and 5.7 MB 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 JavaScript
150 ms · 371 KiBAbout 371 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Google Tag Manager adds 188 ms
188 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 188 ms of main-thread work and 298 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.
Vimeo adds 31 ms
31 msVimeo costs a phone 31 ms of main-thread work and 356 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 · 80 KiBAbout 80 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.
Minify CSS
150 ms · 9 KiB9 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
7 long tasks on the main thread
7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 123 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
57 KiB11 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (57 KiB).
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Minify JavaScript
11 KiB11 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Legacy JavaScript
10 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 10 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: 1.9 s
A phone's processor spends 1.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 754 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 2 ms
2 msYour server sent the HTML in 2 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 6.3 s
6.3 sYour largest element takes 6.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.
Time to Interactive: 11.7 s
11.7 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 11.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
First Contentful Paint: 2.8 s
2.8 sThe first text or image appears after 2.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
40 images without width and height
40 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Speed Index: 3.6 s
3.6 sVisually, the page fills in at 3.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
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: 186 ms
186 msScripts block the page for only 186 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
Page weight: 6.7 MB in 77 requests
6.7 MBYour homepage downloads 6.7 MB in 77 requests on a phone: images 5.6 MB (33), scripts 805 KiB (19) and fonts 182 KiB (10). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
2 images in older formats
2 images (160 KiB) 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.
About 1.9 g of CO₂ per visit
1.90 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.90 g of CO₂e: 228.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
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
Input buttons must have discernible text (1 element)
Input buttons must have discernible text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (40 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 40 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
1 link without text
1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 32 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 47 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 42 passed and 5 failed. 3 mores 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.
2 H1 headlines
There are 2 <h1> headlines (“(add)ventures” and “stay inspired, stay informed”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
28 internal links, 6 external
The homepage links to 28 pages on addventures.com and 6 external pages.
5 checks passed
Meta description: 158 characters
Your meta description is 158 characters: “We’re an independent agency built by strategists and creatives who add clarity, energy and humanity to every adventure—…”.

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 (421 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
2 pages share a title
/en and /es all use the title “(add)ventures: Independent Agency for Strategy & Creativity”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
6 pages without a meta description
/en/stories/ep-66-how-general-mills-turns-culture-into-connection, /en/stories/brand-slam-strikes-gold-at-the-w3-awards, /en/stories/ep-65-serving-up-a-hall-of-fame-brand, /en/stories/market-to-gen-z-without-being-gen-z, /en/privacy-policy and /en/cookie-policy have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

Content and conversion
No call to action on the first screen

SPF in place (~all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com include:sendgrid.net ip4:67.225.229.47 ip4:159.135.226.58 ip4:50.57.208.192 ip4:204.232.…”.
