creedinteractive.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
4.7 s · 746 KiBAbout 746 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.7 s faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
2.1 s · 363 KiB4 images 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 2.1 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
2.0 s7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.0 s.
Google Tag Manager adds 1.8 s
1.8 sGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 1.8 s of main-thread work and 936 KiB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.4 s · 204 KiB11 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (204 KiB).
Mobile performance score: 37
37/100Your mobile performance score is 37. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 4.6 s
A phone's processor spends 4.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.6 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 Tag Manager, Hubspot and termly.io and others), adding 1.3 MB and 2.2 s of main-thread time.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 516 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 36 KiBAbout 36 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Minify JavaScript
150 ms · 16 KiB16 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 14 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 14 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
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.

Server response: 4 ms
4 msYour server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 16.0 s
16.0 sYour largest element takes 16.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “We use essential cookies to make our site work. With your c…”.
Total Blocking Time: 2.1 s
2.1 sScripts block taps and scrolling for 2.1 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Time to Interactive: 16.0 s
16.0 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 16.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 6.6 s
6.6 sVisually, the page fills in at 6.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
First Contentful Paint: 2.7 s
2.7 sThe first text or image appears after 2.7 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
3 images without width and height
3 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.
1 checks passed
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.1 MB in 77 requests
2.1 MBYour homepage downloads 2.1 MB in 77 requests on a phone: scripts 1.4 MB (29), images 478 KiB (20) and fonts 169 KiB (5). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
3 images below the first screen load straight away
3 images further down the page (333 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
1 image in older formats
1 image (132 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 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit
0.61 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.61 g of CO₂e: 72.8 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 text element with low contrast
1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)
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.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 35 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
50 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 2 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (68 characters)
Your title is 68 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Creed Interactive | Secure Digital Products & Platform Modernization”.
Meta description is long (264 characters)
Your meta description is 264 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
77 internal links, 2 external
The homepage links to 77 pages on creedinteractive.com and 2 external pages.
5 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Business-critical technology. Achieved.”.

AI search readiness
4 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: 4 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (485 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (3 KiB, 28 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
1 page without a meta description
/development-process has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
2 pages share a meta description
/discovery-and-strategy and /discovery-process use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (creedinteractive.com).
Valid certificate (31 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for creedinteractive.com and is valid for another 31 days.
Protected from clickjacking
X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.
http:// redirects to https
http://creedinteractive.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2 and HTTP/3
The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.
All 42 links work
All 42 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 2 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
creedinteractive.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
creedinteractive.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

Content and conversion
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 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 457 words of copy
The homepage carries about 457 words of visible text.
5 checks passed
3 calls to action

Direct contact links
Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 1 email link.
Phone number on the homepage
Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.
Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be creedinteractive.com is still delivered. Add a report address, check the reports, then move to quarantine.
Email authentication score: 70/100
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 in place (~all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “google” and “k2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
4 trackers load before any consent
