Speed

1 to fix99
  • Render-blocking requests

    750 ms

    1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 750 ms.

  • Improve image delivery

    24 KiB

    1 image could be 24 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • 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.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    3 KiB

    1 file is served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (3 KiB).

  • 1 third-party service on the page

    1 third-party service load with your homepage (Google Fonts), adding 32 KiB and 0 ms of main-thread time.

3 checks passed
  • Mobile performance score: 99

    99/100

    Your 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, 9 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 22 ms

    22 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 22 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

1 to fix100
  • 1 image without width and height

    1 image 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.

6 checks passed
  • First Contentful Paint: 1.5 s

    1.5 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.5 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Speed Index: 2.0 s

    2.0 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 2.0 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 1.5 s

    1.5 s

    Your largest element renders in 1.5 s on a phone, inside Google's 2.5 s “good” threshold. The largest element is the text “ENTERPRISE ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE | STARTUP GTM ADVISOR | USMC V…”.

  • Total Blocking Time: 0 ms

    0 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Time to Interactive: 1.5 s

    1.5 s

    The page is fully interactive after 1.5 s.

Images and page weight

100
  • About 0.02 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.02 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.02 g of CO₂e: 2.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

4 checks passed
  • Page weight: 74 KiB in 5 requests

    74 KiB

    Your homepage downloads 74 KiB in 5 requests on a phone: fonts 30 KiB (2), images 29 KiB (1) and HTML 13 KiB (1). That is a lean page.

  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images load when needed

    Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.

  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

2 to fixGoogle 10097
  • Banner landmark should not be contained in another landmark (1 element)

    Banner landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Contentinfo landmark should not be contained in another landmark (1 element)

    Contentinfo landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 1 image in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 36 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 38 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 36 passed and 2 failed. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 10094
  • No structured data

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

  • Only 0 internal links

    The homepage links to only 0 pages 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 set, so this is minor.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 127 characters

    Your meta description is 127 characters: “Joshua is an experienced Enterprise Account Executive & GTM Team Lead working with the best and brightest in Technology…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Joshua Thomas”.

  • Title: 65 characters

    Your title is a healthy 65 characters: “Enterprise Account Executive | Startup GTM Advisor | USMC Veteran”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://joshthomas.io/.

  • 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://joshthomas.io/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix83
  • 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://joshthomas.io/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
  • 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.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 10093
  • 4 small tap targets

    4 of 8 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

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

3 to fix67
  • 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 analytics detected

    No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

  • Only about 18 words

    The homepage has only about 18 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.

3 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

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

  • 2 calls to action

    The homepage has 2 calls to action, for example “Contact” and “Book a call instead 🚀”.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 0 phone links and 2 email links.

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.

  • 2 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 2 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 joshthomas.io, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
