markgreenaway.org website review

Your mobile performance score is 78. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

2 images could be 79 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 500 ms faster on a phone.

10 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 350 ms.

About 44 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).

3 third-party services load with your homepage (WordPress Site Stats, WordPress and wp.com), adding 167 KiB and 8 ms of main-thread time.

Polyfills for old browsers add 13 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

1 file is served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (11 KiB).

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 JavaScript.

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 “European Commission conference”.

Visually, the page fills in at 4.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

The page becomes fully interactive after 4.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

The first text or image appears after 1.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

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.

1 image further down the page (43 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.17 g of CO₂e: 19.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Headings should not be empty: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

Headings skip levels (h1 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

Your title is only 14 characters: “Mark Greenaway”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

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

Your meta description is 341 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

The homepage links to only 3 pages on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.

1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

Open Graph is missing og:description, so shared links fall back to guesses.

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://markgreenaway.org/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.

Your homepage links to https://markgreenaway.org/linkedin.com/in/markgreenaway, which answers with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop it.

We fetched 1 page linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

1 of 5 tappable elements near the top of the page is smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

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: 1 trust badge. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

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

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

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 315 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 6 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
