Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
900 ms · 288 KiBAbout 288 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 84
84/100Your mobile performance score is 84. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
150 ms5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 150 ms.
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 148 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
21 KiB1 image could be 21 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
2 third-party services on the page
2 third-party services load with your homepage (b-cdn.net and backblazeb2.com), adding 200 KiB and 0 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
20 KiBAbout 20 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Legacy JavaScript
15 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 15 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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.
Minify CSS
4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
2 KiB1 file is served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (2 KiB).

Main-thread work: 0.9 s
A phone's processor spends 0.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 472 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 14 ms
14 msYour server sent the HTML in 14 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
First Contentful Paint: 3.1 s
3.1 sThe first text or image appears after 3.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Time to Interactive: 5.8 s
5.8 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 5.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 3.1 s
3.1 sYour largest element takes 3.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “KWS helps founders and leadership teams bring clarity and a…”. Most of its time is element render delay (1.3 s).
Speed Index: 4.3 s
4.3 sVisually, the page fills in at 4.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
3 images without width and height
3 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.
2 checks passed
Total Blocking Time: 144 ms
144 msScripts block the page for only 144 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
About 0.2 g of CO₂ per visit
0.25 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.25 g of CO₂e: 29.8 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: 897 KiB in 48 requests
897 KiBYour homepage downloads 897 KiB in 48 requests on a phone: scripts 602 KiB (26), fonts 143 KiB (6) and images 58 KiB (9). 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
5 images without alt text
5 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
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 (h1 → h3, h1 → h3 and h1 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
34 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 36 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 34 passed and 2 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Page is set to noindex
The robots meta tag says “noindex, nofollow”: Google is told not to list this page at all.
robots.txt blocks all crawlers
Your robots.txt disallows the whole site for every crawler, so search engines are told to stay out.
Blocked from indexing
Google's crawler is blocked from indexing this page.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
6 H1 headlines
There are 6 <h1> headlines (“Aligning vision, strategy, and brand.”, “Discover Your Brand’s Purpose” and “What We Do”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
2 links with vague text
2 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
28 internal links, 4 external
The homepage links to 28 pages on kws.solutions and 4 external pages.
4 checks passed
Meta description: 97 characters
Your meta description is 97 characters: “We’re a brand strategy & design studio. We believe that great design is driven by solid strategy.”.

Your title is a healthy 37 characters: “Aligning vision, strategy, and brand.”.

AI search readiness
robots.txt blocks 6 AI answer engine crawlers
6 of 6Your robots.txt shuts out ChatGPT search (OAI-SearchBot), ChatGPT (ChatGPT-User), Claude search (Claude-SearchBot), Claude (Claude-User), Perplexity (PerplexityBot) and Perplexity (Perplexity-User). These fetch pages to answer people's questions and cite the source, so your site can't be quoted or linked in those answers.
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://kws-solutions.super.site/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.
Opted out of AI training for 5 crawlers
robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended and CCBot, which collect pages to train models. That's a legitimate choice and doesn't by itself stop the site appearing in AI answers.
1 checks passed
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (641 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
12 linked pages hidden from search
https://kws-solutions.super.site/company, https://kws-solutions.super.site/services, https://kws-solutions.super.site/blog, https://kws-solutions.super.site/contact, https://kws-solutions.super.site/blog/why-leaders-need-other-leaders and https://kws-solutions.super.site/blog/why-you-may-need-to-fire-high-performers-quickly and 6 others are marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If they are meant to be found, remove the noindex.
2 pages share a title
https://kws-solutions.super.site/blog and https://kws-solutions.super.site/blog-1 all use the title “Blog”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
5 pages without a meta description
https://kws-solutions.super.site/blog, https://kws-solutions.super.site/contact, https://kws-solutions.super.site/blog-1, https://kws-solutions.super.site/our-work and https://kws-solutions.super.site/feedback have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

Content and conversion
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.
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.
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.
About 629 words of copy
The homepage carries about 629 words of visible text.
2 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Start Today”.
6 calls to action
The homepage has 6 calls to action, for example “Contact”, “Start Today” and “Learn More”.
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 kws.solutions, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
