Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
3.9 s · 706 KiBAbout 706 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.9 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.4 s9 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.1 s · 220 KiB10 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (220 KiB).
7 third-party services on the page
7 third-party services load with your homepage (Squarespace, Google Tag Manager and Facebook and others), adding 2.7 MB and 726 ms of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 56
56/100Your mobile performance score is 56 (desktop: 62). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused CSS
750 ms · 130 KiBAbout 130 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
300 ms · 255 KiB5 images could be 255 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Squarespace adds 364 ms
364 msSquarespace costs a phone 364 ms of main-thread work and 1.2 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.
Legacy JavaScript
350 ms · 119 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 119 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 350 ms faster on a phone.
Google Tag Manager adds 171 ms
171 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 171 ms of main-thread work and 325 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 adds 0 ms
0 mssquarespace-cdn.com costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 842 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.
8 long tasks on the main thread
8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 129 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.7 MB in 102 requests
2.7 MBYour homepage downloads 2.7 MB in 102 requests on a phone: scripts 1.7 MB (64), images 608 KiB (8) and fonts 234 KiB (10). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
3 images below the first screen load straight away
3 images further down the page (160 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit
0.78 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.78 g of CO₂e: 93.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed

SEO
Structured data has 8 problems
Structured data found (LocalBusiness, Organization, Service and WebPage) but with 8 problems, for example “WebSite: image is not an absolute URL ("//images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/643ee861dfb05511586…”.
58 internal links, 10 external
The homepage links to 58 pages on encorenationwide.com and 10 external pages.
7 checks passed
Meta description: 156 characters
Your meta description is 156 characters: “Celebrating 25 years of expert event staffing. We provide vetted brand ambassadors, nationwide logistics, and W-2 emplo…”.
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “The most trusted name in event staffing.”.
Title: 54 characters
Your title is a healthy 54 characters: “Premier Event Staffing & Logistics | Encore Nationwide”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.encorenationwide.com/.
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.encorenationwide.com/sitemap.xml.
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: 5 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles) and contact details; description would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (488 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (1 KiB, 6 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
1 page points its canonical at the homepage
/home declares the homepage as its canonical URL, which tells Google it is a copy of the homepage and keeps it out of search results. A site-wide template setting usually causes this.
2 pages share a title
/ and /home all use the title “Premier Event Staffing & Logistics | Encore Nationwide”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
3 pages without a meta description
/insights/what-does-an-event-hostess-do-roles-skills-and-when-to-book-one, /insights/event-logistics-services-explained-what-a-full-service-partner-handles-for-your-tour and /insights/temporary-event-staff-what-actually-costs-less have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
2 pages without an H1
/event-staffing and /contact have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
3 pages with very little text
/event-staffing, /case-studies and /contact 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.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.
3 checks passed

Security and trust
No Content-Security-Policy

Short HSTS lifetime
HSTS is set, but max-age is 180 days; one year is the recommended minimum.
No Referrer-Policy

Valid certificate (53 days left)

Protected from clickjacking
X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.
http:// redirects to https
http://encorenationwide.com redirects to the secure version.

All 22 links work
All 22 links checked from your homepage (18 internal, 4 external) answered without errors.

encorenationwide.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.

Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 1 customer or partner logo. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No form on the homepage

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 with a strict ending (-all)
