Speed
Render-blocking requests
6.3 s38 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 KiBAbout 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
58/100Your 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 KiB8 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 KiBAbout 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 msSquarespace 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 msGoogle 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 mssquarespace-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 KiBPolyfills 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 KiB2 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.

Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 12.3 s
12.3 sYour 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…”.

Speed Index: 7.3 s
7.3 sVisually, 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

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.5 MB in 74 requests
2.5 MBYour 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 gBy 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
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
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

AI search readiness
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
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.

Content and conversion
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

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