Speed

9 to fix58
  • Render-blocking requests

    6.3 s

    38 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 6.3 s.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    3.0 s · 624 KiB

    About 624 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.0 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 58

    58/100

    Your mobile performance score is 58 (desktop: 79). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Squarespace, Google Tag Manager and sqspcdn.com and others), adding 2.3 MB and 495 ms of main-thread time.

  • Improve image delivery

    150 ms · 417 KiB

    8 images could be 417 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.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    300 ms · 88 KiB

    About 88 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Squarespace adds 265 ms

    265 ms

    Squarespace costs a phone 265 ms of main-thread work and 869 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.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 164 ms

    164 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 164 ms of main-thread work and 469 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.

  • squarespace-cdn.com adds 0 ms

    0 ms

    squarespace-cdn.com costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 914 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.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 44 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 44 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 3 long tasks on the main thread

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

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    8 KiB

    2 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (8 KiB).

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 473 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 46 ms

    46 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 46 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix66
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 12.3 s

    12.3 s

    Your largest element takes 12.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Constantly shifting media. Ever-changing tech. Fickle, shor…”.

  • First Contentful Paint: 7.3 s

    7.3 s

    The first text or image appears after 7.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 12.4 s

    12.4 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 12.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 7.3 s

    7.3 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 7.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 1 image without width and height

    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 checks passed
  • Total Blocking Time: 85 ms

    85 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 85 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

2 to fix78
  • Page weight: 2.5 MB in 74 requests

    2.5 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.5 MB in 74 requests on a phone: scripts 1.3 MB (46), images 854 KiB (9) and other files 127 KiB (4). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 6 images below the first screen load straight away

    6 images further down the page (375 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.71 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.71 g of CO₂e: 84.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

6 to fixGoogle 9090
  • 8 tap targets too small

    8 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • Hidden but focusable

    1 element hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.

  • Frames without titles

    1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.

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

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 1 link without text

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

  • Headings skip levels

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

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 10 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 37 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 43 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 37 passed and 6 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 10089
  • Title is short (10 characters)

    Your title is only 10 characters: “MMB — Home”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • Structured data has 2 problems

    Structured data found (LocalBusiness, Organization and WebSite) but with 2 problems, for example “WebSite: image is not an absolute URL ("//images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5db0c296ddd507264fa…”.

  • 51 internal links, 10 external

    The homepage links to 51 pages on mmb580.com and 10 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 76 characters

    Your meta description is 76 characters: “Boston's award winning creative advertising agency. The makers of relevance.”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “We are storytellers. Experience creators.”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.mmb580.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://www.mmb580.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (2 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing name, url, logo 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 https://www.mmb580.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 (781 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 3 pages without a meta description

    https://www.mmb580.com/about, https://www.mmb580.com/project and https://www.mmb580.com/legal have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 page without an H1

    https://www.mmb580.com/project has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 11 internal pages checked

    We fetched 11 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 11 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Every page has a title

    All 11 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9687

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

1 to fix94
  • 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 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 274 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 274 words of visible text.

8 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Contact”.

  • 2 calls to action

    The homepage has 2 calls to action, for example “Contact”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 2 email links.

  • Opening hours shown

    Your opening hours are on the homepage.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.

  • LocalBusiness structured data

    Your homepage describes the business with LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants can read its address, hours and phone reliably.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 2 trackers load before any consent

    2

    Before 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.

  • 7 cookies set on arrival

    7

    Opening the homepage sets 7 cookies, 2 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 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.

  • 17 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 17 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 mmb580.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
