clearpathsolutions.com website review

About 380 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.9 s faster on a phone.

5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.3 s.

Your mobile performance score is 70. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

About 77 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.

4 third-party services load with your homepage (Squarespace, Adobe TypeKit and sqspcdn.com and others), adding 1.4 MB and 326 ms of main-thread time.

Squarespace costs a phone 313 ms of main-thread work and 860 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.

squarespace-cdn.com costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 440 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.

3 images could be 234 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

Polyfills for old browsers add 34 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 170 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).

4 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (14 KiB).

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

Your largest element takes 8.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text ““Helen and the team at ClearPath are results-oriented profe…”.

The page becomes fully interactive after 9.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 4.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

The first text or image appears after 2.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

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

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.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.44 g of CO₂e: 53.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

Your title is only 19 characters: “ClearPath Solutions”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

There are 6 <h1> headlines (“We are an executive match firm.”, ““Helen and the team at ClearPath are results-orie…” and ““Our recent search with Helen and the ClearPath t…”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

Structured data found (LocalBusiness and WebSite) but with 2 problems, for example “WebSite: image is not an absolute URL ("//images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57fbed89b3db2b83650…”.

Open Graph is missing og:description, so shared links fall back to guesses.

The homepage links to 14 pages on clearpathsolutions.com and 2 external pages.

Your Organization JSON-LD is missing name, url, logo, 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.

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.

/case-studies, /helen-lao, /team and /connect have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

/case-studies has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

/case-studies, /helen-lao, /team and /connect have under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

We fetched 4 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://static1.squarespace.com/static/sitecss/57fbed89b3db2b83650d5c88/125/55f0aac0e4b0f0…”.

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.

HSTS is set, but max-age is 180 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

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.

clearpathsearch.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.

clearpathsearch.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.

On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere 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.

Social proof on the homepage: 4 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

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

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 566 words of visible text.

DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be clearpathsolutions.com is still delivered. Add a report address, check the reports, then move to quarantine.

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 3 cookies (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 7 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
