6 third-party services on the page
6 third-party services load with your homepage (Squarespace, Google Tag Manager and sqspcdn.com and others), adding 2.1 MB and 437 ms of main-thread time.
Squarespace adds 302 ms
302 msSquarespace costs a phone 302 ms of main-thread work and 865 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.

3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 115 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
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.

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.

2.2 MBYour homepage downloads 2.2 MB in 64 requests on a phone: scripts 1.1 MB (24), fonts 717 KiB (25) and images 311 KiB (6). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image far larger than shown
51 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example mdsi.png at 1,081 px wide, shown at 280 px. Resized copies would save about 51 KiB.
About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit
0.61 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.61 g of CO₂e: 73.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility
All page content should be contained by landmarks (9 elements)

Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)

SEO
Title is short (11 characters)
Your title is only 11 characters: “MDSolutions”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
11 H1 headlines
There are 11 <h1> headlines (“”, “Solutions that Work” and “Solutions that Work”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Meta description is long (342 characters)
Your meta description is 342 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
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/v1/53cfd7ebe4b07647985…”.
16 internal links, 2 external
The homepage links to 16 pages on mdsolutions.com and 2 external pages.
4 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://mdsolutions.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://mdsolutions.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
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 /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 (475 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
2 pages without a meta description
/products-and-services and /dragon-software have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
2 pages share a meta description
/small-business and /menu-1 use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
2 pages with very little text
/reservations and /locations 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.

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.
No calls to action
We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 1 testimonial or review block. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No direct contact details
No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.
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 359 words of copy
The homepage carries about 359 words of visible text.

Privacy and tracking

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.
5 cookies set on arrival
5Opening the homepage sets 5 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

8 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 8 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 mdsolutions.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
