mikekhorev.com website review

About 479 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.4 s faster on a phone.

39 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (440 KiB).

10 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.6 s.

About 182 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.

Your mobile performance score is 58. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Facebook and Hotjar and others), adding 937 KiB and 751 ms of main-thread time.

Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 350 ms).

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 272 ms of main-thread work and 520 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 images could be 141 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 128 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

Polyfills for old browsers add 20 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

12 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

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.

Your largest element takes 15.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.

The page becomes fully interactive after 15.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 9.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

The first text or image appears after 3.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

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

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 215 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

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.

Your homepage downloads 2.6 MB in 83 requests on a phone: scripts 1.1 MB (20), images 849 KiB (15) and fonts 347 KiB (8). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

2 images (118 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.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.73 g of CO₂e: 87.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Images must have alternative text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.

47 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 38 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

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

1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.

Headings skip levels (h2 → h5, h1 → h3 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

Your title is 85 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Mike Khorev: SEO and Inbound Marketing Consultant | SaaS and B2B Marketing Consultant”.

There are 2 <h1> headlines (“Building 7-Figure Companies with SEO and Content …” and “Marketing Tips and strategies to grow your busine…”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

Your meta description is 208 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

3 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

2 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

The homepage links to 60 pages on mikekhorev.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://mikekhorev.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://mikekhorev.com/author/adminmike declares the homepage as its canonical URL, which tells Google it is a copy of the homepage and keeps it out of search results. A site-wide template setting usually causes this.

/ and https://mikekhorev.com/author/adminmike all use the title “Mike Khorev: SEO and Inbound Marketing Consultant | SaaS and B2B Mark…”, and 1 other title repeat too. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

https://mikekhorev.com/about, https://mikekhorev.com/blog, https://mikekhorev.com/contact, https://mikekhorev.com/content-marketing-seo-helped-buildfire-become-7-figure-arr-saas-company, https://mikekhorev.com/seo-helped-time-doctor-become-7-figure-company-generate-20000-trials-per-month and https://mikekhorev.com/saas-marketing-strategy-planning-execution-evaluation-achieve-rapid-growth and 3 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

https://mikekhorev.com/incapsula-doubles-business-year-year-seo-content-marketing-cro and https://mikekhorev.com/incapsula-doubles-thier-business-year-year-seo-content-makreting-cro use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

https://mikekhorev.com/blog has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 28 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

3 of 9 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://assets.calendly.com/assets/external/widget.css' from origin 'https://mikekhorev.co…”.

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

No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust 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 2,020 words of visible text.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and Meta Pixel and 2 mores (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.

Opening the homepage sets 17 cookies, 3 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

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