Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.5 s · 347 KiBAbout 347 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.5 s faster on a phone.
Squarespace adds 1.7 s
1.7 sSquarespace costs a phone 1.7 s of main-thread work and 910 KiB 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.
Render-blocking requests
1.5 s7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.5 s.
Mobile performance score: 37
37/100Your mobile performance score is 37. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 5.2 s
A phone's processor spends 5.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.8 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 (Squarespace, sqspcdn.com and squarespace-cdn.com), adding 1.4 MB and 1.7 s of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
900 ms · 155 KiB1 image could be 155 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
610 ms · 133 KiBAbout 133 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 610 ms faster on a phone.
16 long tasks on the main thread
16 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 590 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
450 ms · 94 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 94 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
squarespace-cdn.com adds 0 ms
0 mssquarespace-cdn.com costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 425 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 7 KiB2 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (7 KiB).
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.

Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 10.8 s
10.8 sYour largest element takes 10.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “BYRON WHEELER”. Most of its time is element render delay (4.7 s).
Total Blocking Time: 1.5 s
1.5 sScripts block taps and scrolling for 1.5 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Time to Interactive: 10.9 s
10.9 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 10.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 7.4 s
7.4 sVisually, the page fills in at 7.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
First Contentful Paint: 2.9 s
2.9 sThe first text or image appears after 2.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
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.

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.001
0.001The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.001, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
About 0.4 g of CO₂ per visit
0.42 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.42 g of CO₂e: 49.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
4 checks passed
Page weight: 1.5 MB in 55 requests
1.5 MBYour homepage downloads 1.5 MB in 55 requests on a phone: scripts 842 KiB (34), images 246 KiB (3) and fonts 179 KiB (7). That is a lean page.
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
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 2 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
33 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 34 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 33 passed and 1 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Only 3 internal links
The homepage links to only 3 pages on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.

AI search readiness
Some text only appears after JavaScript runs
46%The HTML your server sends has 217 of the 468 words a browser shows. AI crawlers don't run JavaScript, so they miss the rest.
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.

Security and trust
No Content-Security-Policy

No Referrer-Policy

Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (fractional-sales.com).
Valid certificate (80 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YR1 verifies for fractional-sales.com and is valid for another 80 days.
Protected from clickjacking
X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.
http:// redirects to https
http://fractional-sales.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2
The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.
All 2 links work
All 2 links checked from your homepage (2 internal, 0 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
fractional-sales.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
fractional-sales.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 3 years old

Content and conversion
No call to action on the first screen
On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.
No calls to action
We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.
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 analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
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 468 words of copy
The homepage carries about 468 words of visible text.
3 checks passed
Direct contact links
Visitors can reach you directly: 0 phone links and 3 email links.
Phone number on the homepage
Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.
LocalBusiness structured data
Your homepage describes the business with LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants can read its address, hours and phone reliably.
Email authentication
No DMARC policy
fractional-sales.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.
No SPF record
fractional-sales.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.
No DKIM key on the usual selectors
We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.
Domain receives no email
fractional-sales.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: 0/100
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.
