Speed

13 to fix45
  • Wistia adds 6.8 s

    6.8 s

    Wistia costs a phone 6.8 s of main-thread work and 11.7 MB 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.

  • Main-thread work: 24.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 24.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 14.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Embedly adds 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    Embedly costs a phone 1.1 s of main-thread work and 2.2 MB 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.

  • Mobile performance score: 45

    45/100

    Your mobile performance score is 45. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Wistia, Embedly and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 20.8 MB and 9.0 s of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    150 ms · 6.3 MB

    About 6.3 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    3.8 MB

    17 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (3.8 MB).

  • Improve image delivery

    1.4 MB

    16 images could be 1.4 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 1.1 s. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Render-blocking requests

    900 ms

    2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 900 ms.

  • website-files.com adds 95 ms

    95 ms

    website-files.com costs a phone 95 ms of main-thread work and 5.0 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.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 443 ms

    443 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 443 ms of main-thread work and 519 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.

  • Sentry adds 155 ms

    155 ms

    Sentry costs a phone 155 ms of main-thread work and 526 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.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    42 KiB

    About 42 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    12 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 12 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • 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: 2 ms

    2 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 2 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix100
  • Speed Index: 34.4 s

    34.4 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 34.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 98.9 s

    98.9 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 98.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 3.7 s

    3.7 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 3.7 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 3.2 s

    3.2 s

    The first text or image appears after 3.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 3.5 s

    3.5 s

    Your largest element takes 3.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “On-Demand Video Editing Support for Growing Businesses”.

  • 20 images without width and height

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

  • Largest content (LCP) got 18% slower for real visitors

    +18%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.4 s to 1.6 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

6 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

  • Real-user LCP: 1.5 s

    1.5 s

    Real visitors wait 1.5 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.6 s

    1.6 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.6 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 606 ms

    606 ms

    Real visitors wait 606 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.079

    0.079

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.079, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

3 to fix40
  • Page weight: 21.9 MB in 578 requests

    21.9 MB

    Your homepage downloads 21.9 MB in 578 requests on a phone: scripts 12.1 MB (273), media 3.4 MB (8) and HTML 3.2 MB (58). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 3 images far larger than shown

    854 KiB

    3 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example 645dc243760958bae80c476c_Layer 2.png at 354 px wide, shown at 38 px. Resized copies would save about 854 KiB.

  • 6 images in older formats

    6 images (1.0 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.

  • About 6.2 g of CO₂ per visit

    6.22 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 6.22 g of CO₂e: 745.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images load when needed

    Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.

Accessibility

5 to fixGoogle 9093
  • 20 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)

    Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (29 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 29 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • No main landmark

    The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

  • 1 link without text

    1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 39 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 41 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 47 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 41 passed and 6 failed. 5 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 10087
  • 2 H1 headlines

    There are 2 <h1> headlines (“On-Demand Video Editing Support for Growing Busin…” and “Our Work”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • No canonical URL

    No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.

  • No XML sitemap

    No XML sitemap at https://www.editcrew.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

  • 35 internal links, 6 external

    The homepage links to 35 pages on editcrew.com and 6 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Meta description: 140 characters

    Your meta description is 140 characters: “Hire talented team of professional video editors, producers, and a project manager. 1-2 business day turnarounds with m…”.

  • Title: 43 characters

    Your title is a healthy 43 characters: “Edit Crew | On-Demand Video Editing Support”.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization.

  • 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.

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 (1,973 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

3 to fix83
  • 8 pages share a title

    /work/social, /work/ad, /work/real-estate, /work/podcast-interview, /work/corporate and /work/youtube and 2 others all use the title “Edit Crew”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 8 pages without a meta description

    /work/social, /work/ad, /work/real-estate, /work/podcast-interview, /work/corporate and /work/youtube and 2 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 2 pages without an H1

    /customer-stories and /scope 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.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

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

  • 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

2 to fixGoogle 9678
  • 1 broken image

    1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=97197376&tm=gtm002&Ver=2&mid=fb2bc77d-0344-4c15-9653-84ffe6f8ed3d&bo=1&sid=08320390cf3111f1a5094df64cdab64e&vid=0831f5d0cf3111f181e5f75e80e29e64&vids=1&msclkid=N&pi=91.

  • 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”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    16 of 16 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

100
  • No X-Content-Type-Options

    X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.

  • 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.

8 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (editcrew.com).

  • Valid certificate (79 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for editcrew.com and is valid for another 79 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.

  • HSTS enabled

    Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://editcrew.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 25 links work

    All 25 links checked from your homepage (22 internal, 3 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    editcrew.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

    editcrew.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 12 years old

    12 years

    editcrew.com was registered in Jul 2014 through NameCheap, Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Jul 2027

    editcrew.com is registered until Jul 2027.

Content and conversion

1 to fix92
  • 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 form on the homepage

    There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

  • About 1,960 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,960 words of visible text.

5 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Book a Call ” and “View Pricing”.

  • 10 calls to action

    The homepage has 10 calls to action, for example “Book a Call ”, “Pricing” and “View Pricing”.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 6 testimonial or review blocks, 1 customer or partner logo and 1 trust badge.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Microsoft Clarity.

  • Risk reducer mentioned

    A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.

Email authentication

2 to fix35
  • No SPF record

    editcrew.com has no SPF record, so mail servers can't tell which servers may send email as you. Your mail lands in spam more often, and anyone can send mail pretending to be you.

  • DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be editcrew.com is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.

  • Domain receives no email

    editcrew.com has no MX record, so it receives no email. SPF -all and DMARC reject still matter: they stop others sending mail as you.

  • Email authentication score: 35/100

    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.

1 checks passed
  • DKIM signing found

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

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 7 trackers load before any consent

    7

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, LinkedIn Insight and Meta Pixel and 2 mores (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.

  • 9 cookies set on arrival

    9

    Opening the homepage sets 9 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.

  • 32 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 32 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Upkeep, stack and company

No signs of neglect in what was checked: the copyright year, CMS and plugin versions, and jQuery.
