broadstep.com website review

About 1.6 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 11.5 s faster on a phone.

34 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 4.0 s.

9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (382 KiB).

1 image could be 363 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.9 s faster on a phone.

About 183 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.

7 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, hsappstatic.net and Hubspot and others), adding 3.8 MB and 1.2 s of main-thread time.

Your mobile performance score is 51. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

Google CDN costs a phone 655 ms of main-thread work and 2.2 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.

A phone's processor spends 3.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

hsappstatic.net costs a phone 224 ms of main-thread work and 876 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.

Hubspot costs a phone 196 ms of main-thread work and 420 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.

13 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 112 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

4 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

The first text or image appears after 22.7 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Your largest element takes 28.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Be a champion for each other Home is a Feeling We All Deser…”.

Visually, the page fills in at 22.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

The page becomes fully interactive after 28.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 225 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

1 image have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 70 ms to 87 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.1 s to 1.1 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 6.1 MB in 141 requests on a phone: scripts 3.2 MB (51), other files 1.0 MB (11) and fonts 779 KiB (22). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

1 image further down the page (385 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

1 image (385 KiB) is 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.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.71 g of CO₂e: 205.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

2 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

3 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

2 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

Headings skip levels (h1 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

Your title is only 21 characters: “Home Page - Broadstep”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

Your meta description is 371 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

The homepage links to 20 pages on broadstep.com and 8 external pages.

Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, sameAs (social profiles) and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

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.

/about, /our-services, /for-families, /for-states-and-partners, /for-advocates and /our-network and 2 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

We fetched 11 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

1 third-party cookie is set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)”.

Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

No Strict-Transport-Security header, so browsers may still try plain http first on a return visit.

No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

Neither X-Frame-Options nor a CSP frame-ancestors policy is set, so any site can embed yours in a frame.

X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.

No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

broadstep.com has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.

broadstep.com's DNS answers are not signed. DNSSEC stops attackers forging them to send visitors or email elsewhere; most registrars switch it on in a click, though most sites still run without it.

No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

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

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

The homepage carries about 520 words of visible text.

The page uses urgency cues (a countdown or limited-time wording).

broadstep.com has no DMARC record, so nothing tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF or DKIM. Gmail and Yahoo require DMARC from bulk senders.

We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.

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.

Opening the homepage sets 1 cookie (measured from a US location before any click).

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.

Loading the homepage contacts 16 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
