Speed
Render-blocking requests
1.1 s16 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.
Mobile performance score: 59
59/100Your mobile performance score is 59 (desktop: 89). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Improve image delivery
650 ms · 213 KiB3 images could be 213 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.
Google Fonts adds 0 ms
0 msGoogle Fonts costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 439 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
150 ms · 44 KiBAbout 44 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 33 KiBAbout 33 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.
Font display
100 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).
1 long task on the main thread
1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 66 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
1 third-party service on the page
1 third-party service load with your homepage (Google Fonts), adding 439 KiB and 0 ms of main-thread time.
Legacy JavaScript
12 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 12 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 89 but mobile only 59. 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.
Minify JavaScript
5 KiB5 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Main-thread work: 0.7 s
A phone's processor spends 0.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 193 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: 7.4 s
7.4 sYour largest element takes 7.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Information Technology We provide Information Technology re…”.
First Contentful Paint: 3.3 s
3.3 sThe first text or image appears after 3.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Time to Interactive: 7.4 s
7.4 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 7.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.175
0.175The layout shifts by 0.175 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
Speed Index: 4.7 s
4.7 sVisually, the page fills in at 4.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
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.

Total Blocking Time: 16 ms
16 msScripts block the page for only 16 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.2 MB in 56 requests
2.2 MBYour homepage downloads 2.2 MB in 56 requests on a phone: images 1.5 MB (19), fonts 503 KiB (10) and scripts 142 KiB (15). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image in older formats
1 image (41 KiB) is 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.
About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit
0.63 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.63 g of CO₂e: 75.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
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
6 text elements with low contrast
6 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
5 tap targets too small
5 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (10 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 10 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
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.
2 links without text
2 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 6 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
22 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 30 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 22 passed and 8 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.
No meta description
No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
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.
No social preview image
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
No XML sitemap at https://mcginfo.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
16 internal links, 0 external
The homepage links to 16 pages on mcginfo.com and 0 external pages.
3 checks passed
Title: 59 characters
Your title is a healthy 59 characters: “Midwest Consulting Group | Partners In Achieving Your Goals”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://mcginfo.com/.
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place.
AI search readiness
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://mcginfo.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 (978 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
4 linked pages hidden from search
https://mcginfo.com/about-us, https://mcginfo.com/contact, https://mcginfo.com/jobs and https://mcginfo.com/privacy-policy are marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If they are meant to be found, remove the noindex.
4 pages without a meta description
https://mcginfo.com/about-us, https://mcginfo.com/contact, https://mcginfo.com/jobs and https://mcginfo.com/privacy-policy have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
4 pages without an H1
https://mcginfo.com/about-us, https://mcginfo.com/contact, https://mcginfo.com/jobs and https://mcginfo.com/privacy-policy have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
1 page slow to respond
https://mcginfo.com/jobs took over 3 s to send its HTML from our server.

2 checks passed
No console errors
No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.
Mobile viewport set

Content and conversion
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.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 1 trust badge. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
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 892 words of copy
The homepage carries about 892 words of visible text.
4 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “[email protected]”.

Direct contact links
Visitors can reach you directly: 0 phone links and 2 email links.
Phone number on the homepage
Your phone number is on the homepage.
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 mcginfo.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
