Speed
Framer CDN adds 1.6 s
1.6 sFramer CDN costs a phone 1.6 s of main-thread work and 1.0 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.
4,577 HTML elements
The page has 4,577 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Main-thread work: 4.5 s
A phone's processor spends 4.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
3 third-party services on the page
3 third-party services load with your homepage (Framer CDN, Facebook and framer.com), adding 1.2 MB and 1.8 s of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 66
66/100Your mobile performance score is 66. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
750 ms · 162 KiBAbout 162 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
450 ms · 105 KiB6 images could be 105 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
300 ms · 203 KiB6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (203 KiB).
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 13 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 13 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
16 long tasks on the main thread
16 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 149 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.

Server response: 44 ms
44 msYour server sent the HTML in 44 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 8.1 s
8.1 sYour largest element takes 8.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Flint Tech Solutions provides managed IT, cybersecurity pro…”.
Time to Interactive: 8.8 s
8.8 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 8.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Total Blocking Time: 374 ms
374 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 374 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
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
Speed Index: 3.0 s
3.0 sVisually, the page fills in at 3.0 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
First Contentful Paint: 0.9 s
0.9 sThe first text or image appears after 0.9 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Images and page weight
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (24 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.4 g of CO₂ per visit
0.36 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.36 g of CO₂e: 43.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Page weight: 1.3 MB in 82 requests
1.3 MBYour homepage downloads 1.3 MB in 82 requests on a phone: scripts 618 KiB (43), images 354 KiB (28) and fonts 262 KiB (5). That is a lean page.
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
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.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 106 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
34 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 36 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 34 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
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
3 H1 headlines
There are 3 <h1> headlines (“Strategic IT That Protects Your Business”, “Strategic IT ThatProtects Your Business” and “Strategic IT ThatProtects Your Business”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
85 internal links, 2 external
The homepage links to 85 pages on flinttech.com and 2 external pages.

AI search readiness
No Organization structured data
There is no Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants have no machine-readable facts about who runs the site: its name, logo, profiles and contact details.
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 (4,140 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages

/about and /review all use the title “Flint Tech Solutions”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
2 pages share a meta description
