graphicsolutions.com website review

About 386 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.7 s faster on a phone.

4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.

Your mobile performance score is 69 (desktop: 69). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

4 third-party services load with your homepage (Squarespace, Adobe TypeKit and sqspcdn.com and others), adding 1.6 MB and 419 ms of main-thread time.

Squarespace costs a phone 410 ms of main-thread work and 916 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 59 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

9 images could be 291 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

squarespace-cdn.com costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 600 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.

Polyfills for old browsers add 35 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 178 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

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

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

Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

Your largest element takes 6.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Graphic Solutions, established in 1970, is a versatile, ful…”.

The page becomes fully interactive after 8.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

The first text or image appears after 3.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

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.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.50 g of CO₂e: 59.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

Links must have discernible text: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

3 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 12 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.

Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

Your title is only 17 characters: “Graphic Solutions”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

Structured data found (LocalBusiness, Organization and WebSite) but with 2 problems, for example “WebSite: image is not an absolute URL ("//images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/543ea626e4b09e17b7b…”.

The homepage links to 60 pages on graphicsolutions.com and 12 external pages.

Your Organization JSON-LD is missing name, url, logo and description. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

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.

/gs-team, /clients-projects, /affiliations-awards, /retail-entertainment, /civic and /parking and 8 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

/parking, /office-industrial and /residential-hospitality have under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

5 of 21 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://static1.squarespace.com/static/sitecss/543ea626e4b09e17b7b88447/291/503ba86de4b049…”.

http://graphicsolutions.com does not redirect to https, so some visitors land on the insecure version.

1 link to other sites is dead, for example http://www.linkedin.com/in/simonandrewsgs (999).

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.

HSTS is set, but max-age is 0 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

2 links go through two or more redirects, for example http://instagram.com/graphicsolutions619.

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.

graphicsolutions.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.

graphicsolutions.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.

Social proof on the homepage: 1 testimonial or review block. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

The homepage has only about 138 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.

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.

graphicsolutions.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.

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.

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.

Opening the homepage sets 3 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 7 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
