Speed

12 to fix43
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    3.8 s · 947 KiB

    56 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (947 KiB).

  • Improve image delivery

    1.4 s · 1.5 MB

    9 images could be 1.5 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.4 s faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.4 s · 536 KiB

    About 536 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.4 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 43

    43/100

    Your mobile performance score is 43. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • 6,756 HTML elements

    The page has 6,756 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Main-thread work: 5.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 5.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Facebook and Intercom and others), adding 1.6 MB and 1.8 s of main-thread time.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 724 ms

    724 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 724 ms of main-thread work and 543 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.

  • Render-blocking requests

    750 ms

    17 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 750 ms.

  • Facebook adds 279 ms

    279 ms

    Facebook costs a phone 279 ms of main-thread work and 280 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.

  • 16 long tasks on the main thread

    16 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 291 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Google Maps adds 197 ms

    197 ms

    Google Maps costs a phone 197 ms of main-thread work and 346 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 · 70 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 70 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    20 ms · 34 KiB

    About 34 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 20 ms faster on a phone.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • Minify JavaScript

    9 KiB

    9 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 38 ms

    38 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 38 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

10 to fix67
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

  • Real-user TTFB: 2.3 s

    2.3 s

    Real visitors wait 2.3 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 18.6 s

    18.6 s

    Your largest element takes 18.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.

  • Time to Interactive: 26.2 s

    26.2 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 26.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 10.8 s

    10.8 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 10.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 771 ms

    771 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 771 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user LCP: 3.6 s

    3.6 s

    Real visitors wait 3.6 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user FCP: 2.7 s

    2.7 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.7 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.6 s

    2.6 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 12 images without width and height

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

5 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 177 ms

    177 ms

    Real visitors wait 177 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.01

    0.01

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.01 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Tap response (INP) got 19% faster for real visitors

    -19%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 183 ms to 160 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 47% faster for real visitors

    -47%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 4.3 s to 2.3 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

2 to fix60
  • Page weight: 5.0 MB in 180 requests

    5.0 MB

    Your homepage downloads 5.0 MB in 180 requests on a phone: images 2.6 MB (58), scripts 1.9 MB (63) and fonts 287 KiB (7). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image far larger than shown

    38 KiB

    1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example maxresdefault.jpg at 1,280 px wide, shown at 321 px. Resized copies would save about 38 KiB.

  • 3 images in older formats

    3 images (359 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.

  • 1 image below the first screen load straight away

    1 image further down the page (88 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 1.4 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.42 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.42 g of CO₂e: 170.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

3 to fixGoogle 9797
  • 1 text element with low contrast

    1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (5 elements)

    Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 5 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 289 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 54 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 57 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 54 passed and 3 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 9290
  • Title is long (68 characters)

    Your title is 68 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Trusted New Home Builder in Florida for 55+ Years - Neal Communities”.

  • 1 link with vague text

    1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

  • 378 internal links, 136 external

    The homepage links to 378 pages on nealcommunities.com and 136 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 152 characters

    Your meta description is 152 characters: “Neal Communities builds award-winning new homes across Southwest Florida. Explore new-home communities, floor plans and…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Where you Live Matters”.

AI search readiness

100
  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://nealcommunities.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.

3 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.

  • Organization data: 4 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (6,572 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 4 pages without an H1

    https://nealcommunities.com/communities/boca-royale-golf-and-country-club-at-wellen-park, https://nealcommunities.com/communities/canoe-creek, https://nealcommunities.com/communities/grand-palm and https://nealcommunities.com/communities/grand-park have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9678
  • 1 broken image

    1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=22022823&Ver=2&mid=9e4079c2-a8a4-40f2-95fc-0f261b8d07da&bo=1&sid=26df8830d54d11f1bbc2cd41c840c24b&vid=26df9f50d54d11f1a9d717f0a36bcc6e&vids=1&msclkid=N&pi=918639831&lg.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix88
  • 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.

  • A 11-field form

    Your longest form asks for 11 fields (0 required). Every extra field lowers completion.

  • No opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • 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 1,477 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,477 words of visible text.

6 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Learn more” and “CONTACT US”.

Privacy and tracking

  • 6 trackers load before any consent

    6

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, HubSpot and Meta Pixel and 1 more (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (HubSpot cookie banner) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 16 cookies set on arrival

    16

    Opening the homepage sets 16 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 39 other companies contacted

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: HubSpot cookie banner

    A consent management tool (HubSpot cookie banner) loads with the page.
