Google's speed test didn't respond, so speed is not measured here; your full playbook measures it. Your full playbook turns these into prioritised fixes alongside reviews, competitors and channels.

Images and page weight

1 to fix67
  • Page weight: 2.3 MB

    2.3 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.3 MB on a phone, 6 KiB of it images (0%). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.64 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.64 g of CO₂e: 77.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

4 to fix95
  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (47 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 47 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)

    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.

  • 1 form field without a label

    1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (1 element)

    ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • 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 82 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 37 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: 37 passed and 4 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fix96
  • No structured data

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

  • 10 internal links, 6 external

    The homepage links to 10 pages on grilledpixels.com and 6 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 119 characters

    Your meta description is 119 characters: “A Sheffield, UK based Digital Director, Senior Designer and Developer, specialising in branding + interactive websites.”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “I bring theunexpectedto brand & digitalexperiences”.

  • Title: 40 characters

    Your title is a healthy 40 characters: “Senior Designer & Developer Adam Roberts”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.grilledpixels.com/.

  • 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.grilledpixels.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • No Organization structured data

    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.

  • 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.

2 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.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (982 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 1 page without a meta description

    /blog has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 page with very little text

    /blog has 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.

  • 8 internal pages checked

    We fetched 8 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 8 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.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 8 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fix87
  • 6 small tap targets

    6 of 21 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.

Content and conversion

2 to fix75
  • 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 direct contact details

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

  • 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 957 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 957 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “CONTACT” and “Close the contact form”.

  • 3 calls to action

    The homepage has 3 calls to action, for example “Contact”, “Close the contact form” and “BOOK A CALL”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (6 fields at most) is right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

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

  • 3 cookies set on arrival

    3

    Opening the homepage sets 3 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.

  • 8 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 8 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Security, domain, email and software versions

The security, domain and email checks, software and plugin versions, and any app with a known security problem are visible only to people at grilledpixels.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
