marcelomarchetti.com website review

31 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.2 MB).

10 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.

About 171 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.

Your mobile performance score is 64. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

6 images could be 208 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 650 ms faster on a phone.

Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 150 ms).

About 20 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 20 ms faster on a phone.

2 third-party services load with your homepage (Cloudflare and Google Fonts), adding 72 KiB and 10 ms of main-thread time.

Polyfills for old browsers add 10 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Your largest element takes 10.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “avatar”.

The page becomes fully interactive after 10.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 7.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

The first text or image appears after 2.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

11 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

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 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example marcelo-marchetti.jpg at 1,660 px wide, shown at 240 px. Resized copies would save about 101 KiB.

2 images (164 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.

2 images further down the page (97 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.51 g of CO₂e: 61.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 8 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

3 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

The page declares lang=“zxx”, which is not a usable language code (“zxx” means “no linguistic content”), so screen readers and translation tools guess.

No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

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

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

No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.

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 at https://marcelomarchetti.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

The homepage links to 8 pages on marcelomarchetti.com and 4 external pages.

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.

There is no https://marcelomarchetti.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.

/, https://marcelomarchetti.com/resume.html, https://marcelomarchetti.com/portfolio.html and https://marcelomarchetti.com/contact.html all use the title “Marcelo Marchetti - tech entrepreneur”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

https://marcelomarchetti.com/resume.html, https://marcelomarchetti.com/portfolio.html and https://marcelomarchetti.com/contact.html have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

https://marcelomarchetti.com/resume.html, https://marcelomarchetti.com/portfolio.html and https://marcelomarchetti.com/contact.html have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

https://marcelomarchetti.com/resume.html and https://marcelomarchetti.com/contact.html have under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

We fetched 5 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

3 images are displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so they look stretched or squashed.

On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

Social proof on the homepage: 7 customer or partner logos. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

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

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

The homepage carries about 297 words of visible text.

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.

Loading the homepage contacts 3 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
