Speed
Render-blocking requests
1.1 s4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.
Mobile performance score: 74
74/100Your mobile performance score is 74. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
150 ms · 393 KiBAbout 393 KiB 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
453 KiB6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (453 KiB).
Google CDN adds 302 ms
302 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 302 ms of main-thread work and 736 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.
4 third-party services on the page
4 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Other Google APIs/SDKs and Cloudflare and others), adding 816 KiB and 338 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
280 ms · 88 KiBAbout 88 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 280 ms faster on a phone.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 38 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 38 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Font display
100 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).
6 long tasks on the main thread
6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 95 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Minify JavaScript
7 KiB7 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
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.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 1.8 s
A phone's processor spends 1.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.0 s of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 8 ms
8 msYour server sent the HTML in 8 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.676
0.676The layout shifts by 0.676 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
Time to Interactive: 10.0 s
10.0 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 10.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 4.0 s
4.0 sVisually, the page fills in at 4.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
5 images without width and height
5 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.
3 checks passed
First Contentful Paint: 1.5 s
1.5 sThe first text or image appears after 1.5 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Largest Contentful Paint: 1.7 s
1.7 sYour largest element renders in 1.7 s on a phone, inside Google's 2.5 s “good” threshold. The largest element is the element shown below.
Total Blocking Time: 66 ms
66 msScripts block the page for only 66 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.2 MB in 40 requests
3.2 MBYour homepage downloads 3.2 MB in 40 requests on a phone: media 1.4 MB (2), scripts 1.1 MB (14) and other files 380 KiB (6). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit
0.90 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.90 g of CO₂e: 107.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
12 text elements with low contrast
12 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Malformed lists
Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.
3 images without alt text
3 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (17 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 17 elements on the page fail 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.
1 checks passed
47 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 51 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 4 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
Title is short (22 characters)
Your title is only 22 characters: “Home - Equity Creative”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
Meta description is long (298 characters)
Your meta description is 298 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
1 link crawlers can't follow
1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.
14 internal links, 3 external
The homepage links to 14 pages on equity-creative.com and 3 external pages.
5 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://equity-creative.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, Organization, WebPage and WebSite.
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.
XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://equity-creative.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
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.
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.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (319 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (2 KiB, 24 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
2 pages without a meta description
/privacy-policy and /cookie-policy have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
2 pages without an H1
/privacy-policy and /cookie-policy have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
2 pages slow to respond
/contact and /cookie-policy took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.
6 internal pages checked

Best practices
Deprecated browser APIs

2 checks passed
Tap targets are thumb-sized
6 of 7 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set

Security and trust
No HSTS header
No Strict-Transport-Security header, so browsers may still try plain http first on a return visit.
No clickjacking protection
Neither X-Frame-Options nor a CSP frame-ancestors policy is set, so any site can embed yours in a frame.
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.
6 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (equity-creative.com).
Valid certificate (58 days left)
The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for equity-creative.com and is valid for another 58 days.
Content-Security-Policy set
A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
http:// redirects to https
http://equity-creative.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 10 links work
All 10 links checked from your homepage (7 internal, 3 external) answered without errors; 4 did not answer within 5 s.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
equity-creative.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
equity-creative.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 16 years old
16 yearsequity-creative.com was registered in Oct 2010 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Oct 2027
equity-creative.com is registered until Oct 2027.
Content and conversion
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
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 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 432 words of copy
The homepage carries about 432 words of visible text.
4 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “contact”.
2 calls to action
The homepage has 2 calls to action, for example “Contact”.
1 short form
A short form (4 fields at most) is right on the homepage, asking for an email.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Analytics and Cloudflare Web Analytics.
Email authentication
No DMARC policy
equity-creative.com has no DMARC record, so nothing tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF or DKIM. Gmail and Yahoo require DMARC from bulk senders.
SPF does not block other senders (?all)
Your SPF record doesn't end in -all or ~all, so it doesn't stop other servers sending as you: “v=spf1 include:servers.mcsv.net ?all”.
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 “k1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
2 cookies set on arrival
2Opening the homepage sets 2 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
