Speed

4 to fix89
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.3 s · 279 KiB

    2 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (279 KiB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.1 s · 188 KiB

    About 188 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 89

    89/100

    Your mobile performance score is 89. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Render-blocking requests

    400 ms

    2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 400 ms.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    290 ms · 36 KiB

    About 36 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 290 ms faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    96 KiB

    4 images could be 96 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • 1 long task on the main thread

    1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 77 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 1 third-party service on the page

    1 third-party service load with your homepage (Google Fonts), adding 93 KiB and 4 ms of main-thread time.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 0.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 95 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 1 ms

    1 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 1 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix94
  • First Contentful Paint: 2.8 s

    2.8 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 4.5 s

    4.5 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 4.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 2.8 s

    2.8 s

    Your largest element takes 2.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Local Without Limits”. Most of its time is element render delay (2.3 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.

3 checks passed
  • Time to Interactive: 3.4 s

    3.4 s

    The page is fully interactive after 3.4 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

  • Total Blocking Time: 27 ms

    27 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 27 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 2.8 MB in 12 requests

    2.8 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.8 MB in 12 requests on a phone: media 2.3 MB (2), scripts 239 KiB (1) and images 99 KiB (4). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 2 images in older formats

    2 images (70 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 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.80 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.80 g of CO₂e: 95.5 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

2 to fix93
  • Zoom is disabled

    The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

  • 1 form field without a label

    1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

SEO

8 to fixGoogle 10061
  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • Title is short (16 characters)

    Your title is only 16 characters: “Broader Business”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • Meta description is short (68 characters)

    Your meta description is only 68 characters: “Broader Business - AI-powered digital marketing for local businesses”. 70 to 160 characters is enough to sell the click.

  • No canonical URL

    No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • No XML sitemap

    No XML sitemap at https://www.broaderbusiness.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

  • Only 0 internal links

    The homepage links to only 0 pages on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

1 checks passed
  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place.

AI search readiness

1 to fix83
  • 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.broaderbusiness.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.

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 to fixGoogle 10087
  • 3 small tap targets

    3 of 8 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 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”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

5 to fix42
  • 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 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 form on the homepage

    There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

  • 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
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Pricing” and “Join Waitlist”.

Privacy and tracking

  • 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.

  • 2 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 2 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • No known trackers before consent

    No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).

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 broaderbusiness.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
