getspruce.com website review

12 images could be 759 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.8 s faster on a phone.

17 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.3 s.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, frontapp.com and Facebook and others), adding 2.7 MB and 1.0 s of main-thread time.

About 934 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

Your mobile performance score is 64 (desktop: 82). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

7 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (266 KiB).

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 457 ms of main-thread work and 861 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.

frontapp.com costs a phone 381 ms of main-thread work and 1.5 MB 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.

About 65 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 403 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

Polyfills for old browsers add 19 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

6 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Your largest element takes 10.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Residents Properties Service Pros Short Term Rentals Chore …”.

The page becomes fully interactive after 22.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 5.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

The first text or image appears after 2.7 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

2 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 94 ms to 104 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.5 s to 1.4 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 4.4 MB in 117 requests on a phone: scripts 2.0 MB (35), images 1.2 MB (32) and fonts 1.1 MB (7). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example spruce-apron-pichi.png at 1,200 px wide, shown at 260 px. Resized copies would save about 134 KiB.

2 images further down the page (258 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

1 image (73 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.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.24 g of CO₂e: 148.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.

2 links inside paragraphs rely on colour alone to stand out.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

7 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

There are 4 <h1> headlines (“Chore less.”, “Increase renewal rates.” and “Grow your business.”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.

Your meta description is 164 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.

4 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

2 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

The homepage links to 23 pages on getspruce.com and 18 external pages.

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.

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.

/short-term-rental-managers, /housekeeping, /chores and /careers took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

We fetched 11 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

6 of 13 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

No Strict-Transport-Security header, so browsers may still try plain http first on a return visit.

No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

Neither X-Frame-Options nor a CSP frame-ancestors policy is set, so any site can embed yours in a frame.

X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.

No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

getspruce.com is registered until Jan 2027. Make sure auto-renew is on and the card on file is current.

getspruce.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.

getspruce.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.

No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

The homepage has only about 183 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

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.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, LinkedIn Insight and Meta Pixel (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.

Opening the homepage sets 10 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

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.

Loading the homepage contacts 15 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
