Speed

5 to fix74
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.1 s

    4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 74

    74/100

    Your mobile performance score is 74. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    150 ms · 393 KiB

    About 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 KiB

    6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (453 KiB).

  • Google CDN adds 302 ms

    302 ms

    Google 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 KiB

    About 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 KiB

    Polyfills 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 ms

    Web 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 KiB

    7 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 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 8 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix69
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.676

    0.676

    The 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 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 10.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 4.0 s

    4.0 s

    Visually, 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 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.5 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    Your 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 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 66 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 3.2 MB in 40 requests

    3.2 MB

    Your 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 g

    By 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

5 to fixGoogle 8892
  • 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

4 to fixGoogle 8576
  • 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

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.

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 to fix90
  • 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

    We fetched 6 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 6 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

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

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 6 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 7791
  • Deprecated browser APIs

    The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Synchronous `XMLHttpRequest` on the main thread is deprecated because of its detrimental effects to…”).

  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    6 of 7 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

1 to fix93
  • 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 years

    equity-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

2 to fix75
  • 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

2 to fix35
  • 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

    2

    Opening the homepage sets 2 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.

  • 4 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 4 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • No known trackers before consent

    No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).
