newbornbeginnings.com website review

36 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 5.8 s.

About 355 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.0 s faster on a phone.

Your mobile performance score is 57. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

About 67 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.

3 images could be 140 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.

5 third-party services load with your homepage (Squarespace, sqspcdn.com and Adobe TypeKit and others), adding 1.6 MB and 425 ms of main-thread time.

Squarespace costs a phone 406 ms of main-thread work and 990 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.

6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (73 KiB).

squarespace-cdn.com costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 431 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.

2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 175 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

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

Polyfills for old browsers add 33 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Your largest element takes 12.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Newborn Beginnings”.

The first text or image appears after 5.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

The page becomes fully interactive after 12.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 7.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

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

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.

MT+(9+of+1).jpg is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).

1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example Untitled+design+(1).png at 1,080 px wide, shown at 300 px. Resized copies would save about 43 KiB.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.50 g of CO₂e: 59.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

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.

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

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

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.

Your title is only 18 characters: “Newborn Beginnings”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

There are 2 <h1> headlines (“” and “”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

Your meta description is 390 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

Structured data found (LocalBusiness, Organization and WebSite) but with 3 problems, for example “WebSite: image is not an absolute URL ("//images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59002f5c1b10e3ba7e6…”.

1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.

The homepage links to 20 pages on newbornbeginnings.com and 7 external pages.

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.

There is no https://www.newbornbeginnings.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://www.newbornbeginnings.com/qualifications, https://www.newbornbeginnings.com/the-ncs-agency and https://www.newbornbeginnings.com/blog-1 have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

https://www.newbornbeginnings.com/qualifications and https://www.newbornbeginnings.com/contact have under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

We fetched 8 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://static1.squarespace.com/static/sitecss/59002f5c1b10e3ba7e6f1360/83/50521cf884aeb45…”.

On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.

No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

The homepage has only about 159 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

Opening the homepage sets 3 cookies (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 8 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
