One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Render-blocking requests
1.4 s3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.
Improve image delivery
600 ms · 455 KiB15 images could be 455 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 75
75/100Your mobile performance score is 75 (desktop: 94). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
450 ms · 344 KiB25 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (344 KiB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
450 ms · 258 KiBAbout 258 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, netlify.app and website-files.com and others), adding 1.3 MB and 552 ms of main-thread time.
Google Tag Manager adds 194 ms
194 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 194 ms of main-thread work and 312 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.
website-files.com adds 91 ms
91 mswebsite-files.com costs a phone 91 ms of main-thread work and 775 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.
4 long tasks on the main thread
4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 134 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
13 KiBAbout 13 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
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
2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Main-thread work: 1.7 s
A phone's processor spends 1.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 649 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 5 ms
5 msYour server sent the HTML in 5 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 5.4 s
5.4 sYour largest element takes 5.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “M13 is named for the brightest star cluster in the northern…”.
Time to Interactive: 8.1 s
8.1 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 8.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Tap response (INP) got 26% slower for real visitors
+26%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 69 ms to 95 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Largest content (LCP) got 45% slower for real visitors
+45%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 0.9 s to 1.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
First Contentful Paint: 2.3 s
2.3 sThe first text or image appears after 2.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
7 images without width and height
7 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

Images and page weight
About 0.4 g of CO₂ per visit
0.39 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.39 g of CO₂e: 47.3 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: 1.4 MB in 55 requests
1.4 MBYour homepage downloads 1.4 MB in 55 requests on a phone: scripts 664 KiB (16), images 626 KiB (23) and fonts 55 KiB (2). 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
18 text elements with low contrast
18 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Links must have discernible text (3 elements)
Links must have discernible text: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 72 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
43 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 45 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 43 passed and 2 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is short (29 characters)
Your title is only 29 characters: “We're brighter together | M13”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
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 (175 characters)
Your meta description is 175 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
Structured data has 1 problem
Structured data found (Organization) but with 1 problem, for example “Organization: url is not an absolute URL ("/")”.
No XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at https://www.m13.co/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
6 links with vague text
6 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
38 internal links, 23 external
The homepage links to 38 pages on m13.co and 23 external pages.
3 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “We are brighter together.”.
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.
AI search readiness
No llms.txt
There is no https://www.m13.co/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.
3 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.
Organization data: 5 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, description and contact details; sameAs (social profiles) would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (686 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
6 pages share a meta description
https://www.m13.co/people/carter-reum and https://www.m13.co/people/courtney-reum use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 22 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
7 checks passed

Best practices
1 JavaScript error while loading

2 checks passed
Tap targets are thumb-sized
33 of 34 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
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.
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
No phone number on the homepage
A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
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 640 words of copy
The homepage carries about 640 words of visible text.
5 checks passed
6 calls to action
The homepage has 6 calls to action, for example “Learn more”.
1 short form
A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage, asking for an email.
Social proof on the page
Social proof on the homepage: 36 testimonial or review blocks and 1 trust badge.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.
Direct contact links
Visitors can reach you directly: 0 phone links and 1 email link.
Privacy and tracking
2 trackers load before any consent
2Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads 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.
4 cookies set on arrival
4Opening the homepage sets 4 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
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.
15 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 15 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
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 m13.co, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
