Speed
Improve image delivery
6.0 s · 1.3 MB4 images could be 1.3 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 6.0 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
5.3 s · 1.2 MB22 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.2 MB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
3.7 s · 611 KiBAbout 611 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.7 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
2.5 s2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.5 s.
Google Tag Manager adds 1.0 s
1.0 sGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 1.0 s of main-thread work and 1.0 MB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
Mobile performance score: 30
30/100Your mobile performance score is 30 (desktop: 70). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, LinkedIn Ads and Google CDN and others), adding 1.2 MB and 1.2 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 52 KiBAbout 52 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.
11 long tasks on the main thread
11 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 275 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Main-thread work: 2.8 s
A phone's processor spends 2.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Font display
100 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 70 but mobile only 30. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.
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.

Tap response (INP) got 25% slower for real visitors
+25%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 115 ms to 138 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Largest content (LCP) got 28% slower for real visitors
+28%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.8 s to 3.3 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.236
0.236The layout shifts by 0.236 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
15 images without width and height
15 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Images and page weight
1 image over 500 KB
Lowry Bridge Minnesota.png weighs 1.3 MB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
Page weight: 3.1 MB in 63 requests
3.1 MBYour homepage downloads 3.1 MB in 63 requests on a phone: images 1.6 MB (17), scripts 1.1 MB (18) and fonts 202 KiB (11). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
5 images in older formats
5 images (1.6 MB) 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.
3 images below the first screen load straight away
3 images further down the page (186 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit
0.87 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.87 g of CO₂e: 103.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
2 tap targets too small
2 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (7 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 7 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
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.
1 link without text
1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 12 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
49 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 passed and 4 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No canonical URL
No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
No favicon declared
No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.
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.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
56 internal links, 11 external
The homepage links to 56 pages on nebankmn.com and 11 external pages.
6 checks passed

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.nebankmn.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)
Your Organization JSON-LD is missing 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 https://www.nebankmn.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 (509 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 page without a meta description
https://www.nebankmn.com/businesscreditcards has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

No opening hours

Phone number is not tap-to-call
Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.
No map or directions link

No risk reducer

About 467 words of copy
The homepage carries about 467 words of visible text.

9 cookies set on arrival
9Opening the homepage sets 9 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

Security, domain, email and software versions
