Speed
Improve image delivery
32.1 s · 9.1 MB7 images could be 9.1 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 32.1 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.4 s9 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.
Mobile performance score: 54
54/100Your mobile performance score is 54 (desktop: 85). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Font display
350 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 350 ms).
1 long task on the main thread
1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 90 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
3 third-party services on the page
3 third-party services load with your homepage (cdn-cookieyes.com, cloudflare.com and Google Tag Manager), adding 238 KiB and 63 ms of main-thread time.
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 85 but mobile only 54. 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.
Minify CSS
5 KiB5 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 0.8 s
A phone's processor spends 0.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 224 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 94 ms
94 msYour server sent the HTML in 94 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 39.9 s
39.9 sYour largest element takes 39.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Homepage”.
Time to Interactive: 39.9 s
39.9 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 39.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 11.0 s
11.0 sVisually, the page fills in at 11.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.217
0.217The layout shifts by 0.217 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
First Contentful Paint: 1.8 s
1.8 sThe first text or image appears after 1.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
8 images without width and height
8 images 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.

Total Blocking Time: 0 ms
0 msScripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 11.0 MB in 58 requests
11.0 MBYour homepage downloads 11.0 MB in 58 requests on a phone: images 9.5 MB (15), other files 623 KiB (9) and scripts 362 KiB (22). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
3 images over 500 KB
3 images weigh 1.9 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
5 images in older formats
5 images (2.1 MB) 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.
1 image far larger than shown
76 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example Velocity-65-Building-1-Exterior-1400x780.jpg at 1,400 px wide, shown at 340 px. Resized copies would save about 76 KiB.
3 images below the first screen load straight away
3 images further down the page (95 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 3.1 g of CO₂ per visit
3.11 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.11 g of CO₂e: 372.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
ARIA input fields must have an accessible name (2 elements)
ARIA input fields must have an accessible name: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
Positive tabindex
2 elements have a tabindex above 0, which scrambles the keyboard order.
Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes (1 element)
Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (9 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 9 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)
Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4, h2 → h4 and h2 → h4), 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. (1 element).
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 8 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
49 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 55 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 passed and 6 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
Title is short (19 characters)
Your title is only 19 characters: “Homepage - Browning”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
2 links crawlers can't follow
2 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
47 internal links, 15 external
The homepage links to 47 pages on browningrep.com and 15 external pages.
5 checks passed
Meta description: 131 characters
Your meta description is 131 characters: “Browning is an Indianapolis commercial real estate development, construction, property management firm with a diversifi…”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://browningrep.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, WebPage and WebSite.
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.
XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://browningrep.com/sitemap_index.xml.
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 (409 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
7 pages without a meta description
/project-category/multi-family, /project-category/construction, /project-category/office-&-headquarters, /project-category/signature, /our-team and /contact-us and 1 other have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 link to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example /project-category/office-&-headquarters, whose canonical is /project-category/office-headquarters. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
2 pages without an H1
/sustainability-leed and /contact-us have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 21 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
4 checks passed
Linked pages load
All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

Best practices
7 small tap targets
7 of 23 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
2 JavaScript errors while loading
2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “%c%d font-size:0;color:transparent NaN”.
No HTML doctype
The page has no <!DOCTYPE html>, so browsers render it in quirks mode.
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
No HSTS header
No Strict-Transport-Security header, so browsers may still try plain http first on a return visit.
No Content-Security-Policy
No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
No clickjacking protection
Neither X-Frame-Options nor a CSP frame-ancestors policy is set, so any site can embed yours in a frame.
No X-Content-Type-Options
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.
1 link through redirect chains
1 link go through two or more redirects, for example http://maps.apple.com/?daddr=39.9166824,-86.1069827&saddr=Current%20Location.
No Referrer-Policy
No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.
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.

Content and conversion
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

Phone number on the homepage

Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

Email authentication score: 75/100
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.
2 checks passed
SPF with a strict ending (-all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com -all”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1” and “k2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
