glcgroup.com website review

10 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.7 s.

Your mobile performance score is 70 (desktop: 94). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, website-files.com and Facebook and others), adding 1.2 MB and 726 ms of main-thread time.

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 272 ms of main-thread work and 320 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.

website-files.com costs a phone 208 ms of main-thread work and 626 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.

About 48 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 250 ms faster on a phone.

About 221 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

3 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (197 KiB).

6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 195 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

1 image could be 20 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

Polyfills for old browsers add 12 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

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

The page becomes fully interactive after 8.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

The first text or image appears after 3.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Your largest element takes 3.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 369 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

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

The layout shifts by 0.108 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

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.

6516a945f8118aa81944097b_Blob-p-500.png is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).

1 image (47 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 0.36 g of CO₂e: 42.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

6 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 10 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

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

Your title is only 27 characters: “GLC — Recruiting & Staffing”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

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

There are 3 <h1> headlines (“GLC recruiting & staffing experts”, “Where Businessmeets Top Talent” and “Let's get straight to your goal”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

The homepage links to 39 pages on glcgroup.com and 3 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.

/healthcare, /healthcare/home and /healthcare/our-core all use the title “Healthcare staffing | GLC Pro Staffing”, and 2 other titles repeat too. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

/government/home and /government have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

/healthcare, /healthcare/home and /healthcare/our-core use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

Your homepage links to 5 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example /healthcare, whose canonical is /healthcare/home. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 22 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Unexpected token ','”.

1 link from your homepage to your own site is broken, for example https://glcgroup.com/for-your-facilities (404).

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.

1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://glcgroup.com/healthcare/.

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.

glcgroup.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.

glcgroup.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.

On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.

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

Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.

The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

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

There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

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

The homepage carries about 397 words of visible text.

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 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 4 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 13 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
