Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Improve image delivery
6.0 s · 1.9 MB9 images could be 1.9 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 6.0 s faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
3.3 s · 671 KiBAbout 671 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.3 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
3.0 s · 469 KiB20 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (469 KiB).
Render-blocking requests
2.6 s42 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.6 s.
Mobile performance score: 35
35/100Your mobile performance score is 35. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Facebook and Hotjar and others), adding 1.3 MB and 1.3 s of main-thread time.
Google Tag Manager adds 699 ms
699 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 699 ms of main-thread work and 763 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.
Legacy JavaScript
600 ms · 50 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 50 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.
Facebook adds 286 ms
286 msFacebook costs a phone 286 ms of main-thread work and 254 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.
Main-thread work: 2.5 s
A phone's processor spends 2.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
12 long tasks on the main thread
12 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 204 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 24 KiBAbout 24 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
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.

Server response: 6 ms
6 msYour server sent the HTML in 6 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 26.9 s
26.9 sYour largest element takes 26.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “We Make Moments That Matter”.
Time to Interactive: 27.1 s
27.1 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 27.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
First Contentful Paint: 5.6 s
5.6 sThe first text or image appears after 5.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Speed Index: 9.9 s
9.9 sVisually, the page fills in at 9.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Total Blocking Time: 945 ms
945 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 945 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Tap response (INP) got 43% slower for real visitors
+43%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 122 ms to 174 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
-5%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.8 s to 1.8 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors
Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

Images and page weight
Page weight: 13.7 MB in 130 requests
13.7 MBYour homepage downloads 13.7 MB in 130 requests on a phone: media 9.3 MB (1), images 2.4 MB (22) and scripts 1.7 MB (66). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
4 images far larger than shown
658 KiB4 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example home-image-card.png at 1,296 px wide, shown at 351 px. Resized copies would save about 658 KiB.
8 images below the first screen load straight away
8 images further down the page (2.1 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
1 image in older formats
1 image (377 KiB) is JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.
About 3.9 g of CO₂ per visit
3.90 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.90 g of CO₂e: 467.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
Links must have discernible text (4 elements)
Links must have discernible text: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
3 text elements with low contrast
3 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 17 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
39 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 41 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 39 passed and 2 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Meta description is long (161 characters)
Your meta description is 161 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
46 internal links, 6 external
The homepage links to 46 pages on freemanxp.com and 6 external pages.
7 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “We Make Moments That Matter”.
Title: 49 characters
Your title is a healthy 49 characters: “Freeman® | Trade Show, Exhibit, and Event Company”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.freeman.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, ImageObject, 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 and points crawlers to your sitemap.
XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.freeman.com/sitemap_index.xml.
AI search readiness
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.
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.
Organization data: 4 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (352 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 linked page hidden from search
/about/press is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.
9 pages without a meta description
/event-services/strategy-insights, /case-studies, /about-us, /experience-events, /about/press and /intelligent-innovation and 3 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 26 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
5 checks passed
Linked pages load
All 15 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.
Every page has an H1
Each page we checked has a main headline.
Every page has a title
All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.
Best practices
1 broken image
1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=134621207&tm=gtm002&Ver=2&mid=8a949e06-51fb-4e86-a70d-bd3d583a2606&bo=1&sid=d0663b50d34e11f18cec9ddaa46bf82b&vid=d06666d0d34e11f1bcee677756c8fb5f&vids=1&msclkid=N&pi=9.
3 small tap targets
3 of 12 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
2 JavaScript errors while loading
2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
1 broken link to your own pages
1 link from your homepage to your own site is broken, for example https://www.freeman.com/case-studies/6-ways-amazon-struck-a-chord-at-newfronts/ (404).
No Content-Security-Policy
No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
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.
5 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (freeman.com).
Valid certificate (45 days left)
The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for freemanxp.com and is valid for another 45 days.
HSTS enabled
Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.
http:// redirects to https
http://freemanxp.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.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
freeman.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
freeman.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 29 years old
29 yearsfreeman.com was registered in Mar 1997 through CSC Corporate Domains, Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Mar 2028
freeman.com is registered until Mar 2028.
Content and conversion
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 8 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
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.
Only about 192 words
The homepage has only about 192 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
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.
4 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Subscribe”.
6 calls to action
The homepage has 6 calls to action, for example “Contact Us”, “Contact Us submenu” and “Get in Touch”.
2 short forms
2 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics.
Email authentication
Email authentication score: 100/100
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.
3 checks passed
DMARC policy: reject
DMARC tells receivers to reject mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.
SPF with a strict ending (-all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 include:%{d}.c0.spf-protect.agari.com exists:%{i}._i.%{d}._d.espf.agari.com -all”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
9 trackers load before any consent
9Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and LinkedIn Insight and 4 mores (measured from a US location before any click). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.
25 cookies set on arrival
25Opening the homepage sets 25 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (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.
31 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 31 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
