homepridelandscape.com website review

7 images could be 813 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.5 s faster on a phone.

10 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.9 s.

Your mobile performance score is 64. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

About 131 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.

6 third-party services load with your homepage (Squarespace, Google Tag Manager and sqspcdn.com and others), adding 2.6 MB and 609 ms of main-thread time.

Squarespace costs a phone 445 ms of main-thread work and 1.0 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 548 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

Polyfills for old browsers add 95 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 147 ms of main-thread work and 306 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.

squarespace-cdn.com costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 1.2 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.

4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 181 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

3 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (44 KiB).

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

The page becomes fully interactive after 12.2 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.

Visually, the page fills in at 4.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

The layout shifts by 0.12 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

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

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.

Your homepage downloads 2.8 MB in 72 requests on a phone: scripts 1.2 MB (42), images 1.1 MB (9) and stylesheets 178 KiB (13). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.78 g of CO₂e: 93.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

Links must have discernible text: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

Headings skip levels (h1 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

Your meta description is 169 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

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/v1/5565317ce4b06e12488…”.

The homepage links to 44 pages on homepridelandscape.com and 3 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.

/homepage declares the homepage as its canonical URL, which tells Google it is a copy of the homepage and keeps it out of search results. A site-wide template setting usually causes this.

/ and /homepage all use the title “Home Pride Landscape & Design | Landscaping in Roselle, IL”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

/concrete, /portfolio, /book-meeting and /homepage have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

/concrete, /portfolio, /book-meeting, /free-estimate, /design-center and /employment 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 13 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://static1.squarespace.com/static/versioned-site-css/5565317ce4b06e1248834873/241/5c5…”.

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.

1 link go through two or more redirects, for example http://instagram.com/home_pride_landscape.

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.

homepridelandscape.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.

homepridelandscape.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.

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 349 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 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 5 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 9 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
