Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
3.1 s · 474 KiBAbout 474 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.1 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 62
62/100Your mobile performance score is 62 (desktop: 97). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
300 ms4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 300 ms.
7 third-party services on the page
7 third-party services load with your homepage (Hotjar, Google Tag Manager and cdn-cookieyes.com and others), adding 468 KiB and 187 ms of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
100 ms · 131 KiB6 images could be 131 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 100 ms faster on a phone.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 14 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 14 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
5 long tasks on the main thread
5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 104 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
10 KiB2 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (10 KiB).
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 97 but mobile only 62. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.
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: 1.1 s

Server response: 4 ms

Images and page weight
About 0.4 g of CO₂ per visit
0.44 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.44 g of CO₂e: 52.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
4 checks passed
Page weight: 1.5 MB in 77 requests
1.5 MBYour homepage downloads 1.5 MB in 77 requests on a phone: scripts 998 KiB (30), images 270 KiB (15) and fonts 184 KiB (3). That is a lean page.
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
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
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.
3 links without text
3 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 23 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 44 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 42 passed and 2 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
3 links with vague text
3 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

The homepage links to 49 pages on appliedintuition.com and 11 external pages.

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 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 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 direct contact details
No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.
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.
About 437 words of copy
The homepage carries about 437 words of visible text.
2 checks passed
7 calls to action
The homepage has 7 calls to action, for example “Join us”, “Learn more” and “Contact”.

5 cookies set on arrival
5Opening the homepage sets 5 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
13 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 13 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
1 checks passed
