broadleafservices.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Render-blocking requests
700 ms1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 700 ms.
1 long task on the main thread
1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 52 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
12 KiBAbout 12 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
1 third-party service on the page
1 third-party service load with your homepage (Google Fonts), adding 63 KiB and 0 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.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

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.

Images and page weight
About 0.07 g of CO₂ per visit
0.07 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.07 g of CO₂e: 8.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Page weight: 267 KiB in 4 requests
267 KiBYour homepage downloads 267 KiB in 4 requests on a phone: HTML 204 KiB (1), fonts 62 KiB (2) and stylesheets 2 KiB (1). That is a lean page.
Accessibility
9 text elements with low contrast
9 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (2 elements).

37 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 39 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 37 passed and 2 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.
3 H1 headlines
There are 3 <h1> headlines (“IT support for every company.”, “Great people. Thoughtful technology.” and “How protected is your business?”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
9 internal links, 4 external
The homepage links to 9 pages on broadleafservices.com and 4 external pages.
6 checks passed
Meta description: 156 characters
Your meta description is 156 characters: “Managed IT support for New England businesses: 24/7 helpdesk, cybersecurity, backup and disaster recovery, and connecte…”.
Title: 57 characters

AI search readiness
No Organization structured data

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 (2,405 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Security and trust
No HSTS header
No Strict-Transport-Security header, so browsers may still try plain http first on a return visit.
HTTP/1.1 only
The server only offers HTTP/1.1, so browsers open several connections and load files more slowly. Most hosts and CDNs turn on HTTP/2 with a setting.
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

Email authentication

DKIM signing found
