hellometrics.co website review

3 images could be 957 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

Your mobile performance score is 80. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

About 536 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

6 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Google Tag Manager and flodesk.com and others), adding 1.4 MB and 652 ms of main-thread time.

Google CDN costs a phone 393 ms of main-thread work and 743 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.

26 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (224 KiB).

7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 137 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

Polyfills for old browsers add 44 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

About 33 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

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.

The page becomes fully interactive after 15.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 5.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 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 224 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 5.4 s to 5.3 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

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.

Rebecca-Bowden-marketing.png weighs 566 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

Your homepage downloads 3.2 MB in 53 requests on a phone: images 1.3 MB (7), scripts 1.2 MB (18) and other files 359 KiB (6). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

4 images (718 KiB) are 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.

1 image further down the page (566 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.91 g of CO₂e: 109.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

3 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

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

1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

The homepage links to 14 pages on hellometrics.co and 2 external pages.

Your Organization JSON-LD is missing sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. 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.

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

/blog and /contact have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

/blog and /contact 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 3 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

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

1 link from your homepage to your own site is broken, for example https://hellometrics.co/?page_id=223 (404).

2 links to other sites are dead, for example https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebeccacbowden/details/recommendations/ (999).

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.

hellometrics.co 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.

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

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.

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 395 words of visible text.

hellometrics.co 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.

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 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.

Opening the homepage sets 2 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 8 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
