Speed

6 to fix57
  • Improve image delivery

    9.1 s · 1.9 MB

    1 image could be 1.9 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 9.1 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    2.8 s

    27 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.8 s.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.5 s · 271 KiB

    About 271 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.5 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 57

    57/100

    Your mobile performance score is 57. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    450 ms · 14 KiB

    About 14 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 235 ms

    235 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 235 ms of main-thread work and 312 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.

  • 7 third-party services on the page

    7 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and Google Analytics and others), adding 644 KiB and 419 ms of main-thread time.

  • 4 long tasks on the main thread

    4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 151 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    50 ms

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

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    32 KiB

    5 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (32 KiB).

  • 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: 1.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 632 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 8 ms

    8 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 8 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix63
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 22.1 s

    22.1 s

    Your largest element takes 22.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “CAMPBELL EWALD”.

  • Time to Interactive: 22.4 s

    22.4 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 22.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 8.1 s

    8.1 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 8.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 3.5 s

    3.5 s

    The first text or image appears after 3.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 218 ms

    218 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 218 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.004

    0.004

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.004, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

2 to fix64
  • Page weight: 12.6 MB in 80 requests

    12.6 MB

    Your homepage downloads 12.6 MB in 80 requests on a phone: media 8.6 MB (3), images 3.0 MB (13) and scripts 707 KiB (24). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    radically-human-logo-768x178.png is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (62 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.

  • About 3.6 g of CO₂ per visit

    3.56 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.56 g of CO₂e: 427.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

1 to fixGoogle 10099
  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (7 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 7 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 19 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 36 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 37 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 36 passed and 1 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 10088
  • Title is short (21 characters)

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

  • Meta description is short (4 characters)

    Your meta description is only 4 characters: “Home”. 70 to 160 characters is enough to sell the click.

  • 52 internal links, 3 external

    The homepage links to 52 pages on c-e.com and 3 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Campbell Ewald”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://c-e.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, FAQPage, ImageObject, Organization and WebPage.

  • Open Graph tags complete

    Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.

  • 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://c-e.com/sitemap_index.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing sameAs (social profiles), description 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.

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

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 5 pages without a meta description

    /the-exchange, /story-works, /ce-max, /ce-cx and /news-views have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 12 internal pages checked

    We fetched 12 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 12 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 12 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9289
  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

  • 1 distorted image

    1 image is displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so it looks stretched or squashed.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

100
  • Short HSTS lifetime

    HSTS is set, but max-age is 0 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

  • No security.txt

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

7 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (c-e.com).

  • Valid certificate (47 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YR1 verifies for c-e.com and is valid for another 47 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

    X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.

  • Content-Security-Policy set

    A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://c-e.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2

    The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.

  • All 19 links work

    All 19 links checked from your homepage (16 internal, 3 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    c-e.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.

  • DNSSEC is off

    c-e.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.

2 checks passed
  • Domain is 30 years old

    30 years

    c-e.com was registered in Feb 1996 through CSC Corporate Domains, Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Feb 2028

    c-e.com is registered until Feb 2028.

Content and conversion

5 to fix50
  • 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 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 312 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 312 words of visible text.

2 checks passed
  • 4 calls to action

    The homepage has 4 calls to action, for example “Contact”, “Join the team” and “CONTACT US”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

Email authentication

100
  • Email authentication score: 100/100

    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.

3 checks passed
  • DMARC policy: reject

    DMARC tells receivers to reject mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.

  • SPF with a strict ending (-all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 include:interpublic-spf.com include:mo.interpublic-spf.com -all”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “k1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 4 trackers load before any consent

    4

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and LinkedIn Insight (measured from a US location before any click). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.

  • 6 cookies set on arrival

    6

    Opening the homepage sets 6 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 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.

  • 12 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 12 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
