Speed

9 to fix58
  • Render-blocking requests

    2.5 s

    11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.5 s.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Squarespace, zohocdn.com and PageSense and others), adding 1.4 MB and 1.3 s of main-thread time.

  • Mobile performance score: 58

    58/100

    Your mobile performance score is 58 (desktop: 94). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Squarespace adds 832 ms

    832 ms

    Squarespace costs a phone 832 ms of main-thread work and 1,007 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.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    450 ms · 467 KiB

    About 467 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.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    680 ms · 186 KiB

    About 186 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 680 ms faster on a phone.

  • 13 long tasks on the main thread

    13 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 360 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Improve image delivery

    300 ms · 57 KiB

    3 images could be 57 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.

  • Main-thread work: 3.0 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 104 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 104 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Phones get a much slower page than desktops

    Desktop scores 94 but mobile only 58. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 92 ms

    92 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 92 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix59
  • Time to Interactive: 12.4 s

    12.4 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 12.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 4.8 s

    4.8 s

    Your largest element takes 4.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • First Contentful Paint: 3.3 s

    3.3 s

    The first text or image appears after 3.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 629 ms

    629 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 629 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Speed Index: 4.4 s

    4.4 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 4.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Largest content (LCP) got 11% faster for real visitors

    -11%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.3 s to 1.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

100
  • About 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.47 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.47 g of CO₂e: 56.3 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: 1.7 MB in 104 requests

    1.7 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.7 MB in 104 requests on a phone: scripts 1.2 MB (56), images 209 KiB (18) and stylesheets 183 KiB (13). 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

3 to fixGoogle 9596
  • 1 text element with low contrast

    1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • 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.

  • 1 form field without a label

    1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 31 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 45 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 3 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 10079
  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • Title is short (11 characters)

    Your title is only 11 characters: “Makse Group”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • Structured data has 3 problems

    Structured data found (LocalBusiness, Organization and WebSite) but with 3 problems, for example “WebSite: image is not an absolute URL ("//images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a3474d9cac743093a…”.

  • 62 internal links, 0 external

    The homepage links to 62 pages on maksegroup.com and 0 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Meta description: 134 characters

    Your meta description is 134 characters: “Makse Group is a boutique consulting firm providing the best in Workday® solutions and financial advising for businesse…”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.maksegroup.com/.

  • 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://www.maksegroup.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (1 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles) and description. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://www.maksegroup.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.

2 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.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (483 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 12 pages without a meta description

    https://www.maksegroup.com/about-us, https://www.maksegroup.com/careers, https://www.maksegroup.com/blog, https://www.maksegroup.com/workday, https://www.maksegroup.com/workday-adaptive-planning and https://www.maksegroup.com/workday-financials and 6 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 14 pages without an H1

    https://www.maksegroup.com/about-us, https://www.maksegroup.com/partners, https://www.maksegroup.com/careers, https://www.maksegroup.com/workday, https://www.maksegroup.com/workday-adaptive-planning and https://www.maksegroup.com/workday-financials and 8 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 21 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 10093
  • 3 JavaScript errors while loading

    3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://static1.squarespace.com/static/versioned-site-css/64a3474d9cac743093ad5aa6/33/5c5a…”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    7 of 7 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix79
  • 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.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 5 customer or partner logos. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • Phone number is not tap-to-call

    Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.

  • No form on the homepage

    There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

  • 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 288 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 288 words of visible text.

5 checks passed
  • 4 calls to action

    The homepage has 4 calls to action, for example “Contact” and “Contact Us”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

  • Opening hours shown

    Your opening hours are on the homepage.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage.

  • LocalBusiness structured data

    Your homepage describes the business with LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants can read its address, hours and phone reliably.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 1 tracker load before any consent

    1

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads 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.

  • 15 cookies set on arrival

    15

    Opening the homepage sets 15 cookies, 2 of them by other companies (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.

  • 12 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 12 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 maksegroup.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
