Speed

13 to fix34
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    8.1 s · 1.3 MB

    About 1.3 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 8.1 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    4.7 s

    10 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 4.7 s.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    2.4 s · 492 KiB

    35 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (492 KiB).

  • Mobile performance score: 34

    34/100

    Your mobile performance score is 34. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 4.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 4.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, YouTube and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 3.5 MB and 2.0 s of main-thread time.

  • Improve image delivery

    650 ms · 116 KiB

    2 images could be 116 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 650 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google CDN adds 645 ms

    645 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 645 ms of main-thread work and 1.1 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.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    580 ms · 164 KiB

    About 164 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 580 ms faster on a phone.

  • YouTube adds 443 ms

    443 ms

    YouTube costs a phone 443 ms of main-thread work and 1,011 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.

  • website-files.com adds 261 ms

    261 ms

    website-files.com costs a phone 261 ms of main-thread work and 578 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.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 272 ms

    272 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 272 ms of main-thread work and 331 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 adds 184 ms

    184 ms

    Hubspot costs a phone 184 ms of main-thread work and 340 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.

  • 16 long tasks on the main thread

    16 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 221 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 18 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 18 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 7 ms

    7 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 7 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

8 to fix67
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

  • First Contentful Paint: 12.6 s

    12.6 s

    The first text or image appears after 12.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 22.7 s

    22.7 s

    Your largest element takes 22.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Home-General-Austin Texas-The Independent and Seaholm Power…”.

  • Time to Interactive: 24.9 s

    24.9 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 24.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 12.6 s

    12.6 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 12.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 698 ms

    698 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 698 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.14

    0.14

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.14 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.114

    0.114

    The layout shifts by 0.114 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

6 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    Real visitors wait 1.7 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 87 ms

    87 ms

    Real visitors wait 87 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.5 s

    1.5 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.5 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 273 ms

    273 ms

    Real visitors wait 273 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) got 12% faster for real visitors

    -12%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 105 ms to 96 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 22% faster for real visitors

    -22%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.8 s to 1.6 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight

3 to fix53
  • Page weight: 4.1 MB in 114 requests

    4.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.1 MB in 114 requests on a phone: scripts 2.8 MB (48), images 406 KiB (25) and other files 375 KiB (26). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    6a68d684a22c118a34b9519d_Hero-Section-AHIF.avif 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 far larger than shown

    150 KiB

    1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example 6a68d684a22c118a34b9519d_Hero-Section-AHIF.avif at 2,332 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 150 KiB.

  • About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.16 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.16 g of CO₂e: 139.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

Accessibility

6 to fixGoogle 9093
  • ARIA attributes must conform to valid names (2 elements)

    ARIA attributes must conform to valid names: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • 2 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 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.

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (2 elements)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark (1 element)

    Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark: 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.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 42 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 56 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 61 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 56 passed and 5 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 9288
  • 2 H1 headlines

    There are 2 <h1> headlines (“An alternative approach to creating value.” and “An alternative approach to creating value.”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • Meta description is long (214 characters)

    Your meta description is 214 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 6 links with vague text

    6 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

  • 145 internal links, 32 external

    The homepage links to 145 pages on cimgroup.com and 32 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Title: 53 characters

    Your title is a healthy 53 characters: “CIM Group | An Alternative Approach to Creating Value”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.cimgroup.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Corporation and VideoObject.

  • 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://www.cimgroup.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
  • 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.

3 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.

  • Organization data: 6 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,268 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

100
  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 39 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

7 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

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

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 15 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • 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 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 7385
  • 20 small tap targets

    20 of 29 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 5 third-party cookies

    5 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 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 ()”.

  • Browser-reported issues

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

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

5 to fix57
  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 2 customer or partner logos. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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 map or directions link

    There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

  • 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 1,254 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,254 words of visible text.

2 checks passed
  • 2 calls to action

    The homepage has 2 calls to action, for example “Learn More”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Matomo.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 5 trackers load before any consent

    5

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, HubSpot and Microsoft Clarity (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.

  • 12 cookies set on arrival

    12

    Opening the homepage sets 12 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (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.

  • 36 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 36 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

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