Speed
Improve image delivery
993 KiB5 images could be 993 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Render-blocking requests
900 ms2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 900 ms.
2 third-party services on the page
2 third-party services load with your homepage (Cloudflare and Google Fonts), adding 60 KiB and 10 ms of main-thread time.
Legacy JavaScript
10 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 10 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
5 KiB2 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (5 KiB).
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.

Mobile performance score: 99
99/100Your mobile performance score is 99. That is in Google's “good” band (90 and up).
Main-thread work: 0.1 s
A phone's processor spends 0.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 18 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 1 ms
1 msYour server sent the HTML in 1 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
5 images without width and height
5 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Not enough real-visitor data yet
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.

First Contentful Paint: 1.5 s
1.5 sThe first text or image appears after 1.5 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Speed Index: 2.6 s
2.6 sVisually, the page fills in at 2.6 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

Largest Contentful Paint: 1.5 s
1.5 sYour largest element renders in 1.5 s on a phone, inside Google's 2.5 s “good” threshold. The largest element is the text “I’m Joseph Quercia, Software Engineer based in Paris. Gradu…”.

Time to Interactive: 1.5 s
1.5 sThe page is fully interactive after 1.5 s.
Images and page weight
1 image over 500 KB
vest.png weighs 548 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
4 images far larger than shown
817 KiB4 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example vest.png at 1,867 px wide, shown at 254 px. Resized copies would save about 817 KiB.
4 images in older formats
4 images (1,002 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.
4 images below the first screen load straight away
4 images further down the page (1,002 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.3 g of CO₂ per visit
0.30 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.30 g of CO₂e: 36.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Page weight: 1.1 MB in 16 requests
1.1 MBYour homepage downloads 1.1 MB in 16 requests on a phone: images 1,018 KiB (9), fonts 48 KiB (1) and scripts 12 KiB (2). That is a lean page.
Accessibility
1 image without alt text
1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)
Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h3 → h6 and h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
16 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 21 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 16 passed and 5 failed. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
No canonical URL
No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.
Meta description is long (373 characters)
Your meta description is 373 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
No XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at https://josephquercia.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
No robots.txt
There is no robots.txt at josephquercia.com/robots.txt, the first file search crawlers ask for.
Only 1 internal link
The homepage links to only 1 page on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
1 checks passed
Title: 34 characters
Your title is a healthy 34 characters: “Joseph Quercia - Software Engineer”.
AI search readiness
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 https://josephquercia.com/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.
1 checks passed
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (187 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Best practices
2 checks passed
No console errors
No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
No call to action on the first screen
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 calls to action
We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: “more than 9,000 companies”. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
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.
Only about 187 words
The homepage has only about 187 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
No form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
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.
1 checks passed
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Cloudflare Web Analytics.
Privacy and tracking
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.
3 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 3 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
1 checks passed
No known trackers before consent
No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).
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 josephquercia.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
