Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
14.2 s · 2.3 MBAbout 2.3 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 14.2 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
8.6 s · 6.1 MB96 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (6.1 MB).
Render-blocking requests
2.0 s30 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.0 s.
canva.com adds 1.0 s
1.0 scanva.com costs a phone 1.0 s of main-thread work and 2.7 MB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
Mobile performance score: 29
29/100Your mobile performance score is 29. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 8.1 s
A phone's processor spends 8.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (canva.com, Google Tag Manager and Vimeo and others), adding 9.3 MB and 2.9 s of main-thread time.
Google Tag Manager adds 868 ms
868 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 868 ms of main-thread work and 883 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.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 879 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Vimeo adds 314 ms
314 msVimeo costs a phone 314 ms of main-thread work and 5.0 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.
Improve image delivery
300 ms · 336 KiB14 images could be 336 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Facebook adds 306 ms
306 msFacebook costs a phone 306 ms of main-thread work and 291 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.
Legacy JavaScript
200 ms · 43 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 43 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 67 KiBAbout 67 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Font display
150 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 150 ms).
Chained critical requests
Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.
Minify CSS
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Core Web Vitals

Largest Contentful Paint: 37.6 s
37.6 sYour largest element takes 37.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “We use essential cookies to make our site work. With your c…”.

Real-user LCP: 3.4 s
3.4 sReal visitors wait 3.4 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.
Tap response (INP) got 31% slower for real visitors
+31%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 136 ms to 175 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
Page weight: 15.0 MB in 216 requests
15.0 MBYour homepage downloads 15.0 MB in 216 requests on a phone: scripts 4.4 MB (82), media 4.2 MB (1) and other files 4.2 MB (49). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
John-Casablancas-International-Logo-Long-White-ruk54ybrg2laz 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).
13 images below the first screen load straight away
13 images further down the page (497 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
3 images far larger than shown
24 KiB3 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example Bryan-Mohr.webp at 1,000 px wide, shown at 310 px. Resized copies would save about 24 KiB.
About 4.2 g of CO₂ per visit
4.25 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 4.25 g of CO₂e: 509.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

AI search readiness
4 checks passed
AI answer engines may read the site
There is no robots.txt, so nothing stops the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity from reading the site and cite it in answers.
Organization data: 6 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (331 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://www.jcasablancas.com/llms.txt (165 KiB, 888 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
1 page without a title
https://www.jcasablancas.com/talent-form has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.
1 page without a meta description
https://www.jcasablancas.com/talent-form has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
12 pages without an H1
https://www.jcasablancas.com/talent, https://www.jcasablancas.com/network, https://www.jcasablancas.com/talent-form, https://www.jcasablancas.com/about-us-2, https://www.jcasablancas.com/meet-the-team and https://www.jcasablancas.com/jc-cares and 6 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
5 pages with very little text
https://www.jcasablancas.com/network, https://www.jcasablancas.com/testimonials, https://www.jcasablancas.com/about-us-2/contact-us, https://www.jcasablancas.com/privacy-policy and https://www.jcasablancas.com/terms-and-conditions 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.

Content and conversion
Thin social proof

No form on the homepage

No risk reducer
