Compare side by sideOne score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
4.3 s · 2.1 MB60 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (2.1 MB).
Improve image delivery
2.4 s · 1.2 MB10 images could be 1.2 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.4 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
2.6 s23 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.6 s.
4,524 HTML elements
The page has 4,524 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Mobile performance score: 67
67/100Your mobile performance score is 67 (desktop: 91). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused CSS
450 ms · 44 KiBAbout 44 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Intercom, senja.io and Google CDN and others), adding 567 KiB and 241 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
227 KiBAbout 227 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Font display
150 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 150 ms).
4 long tasks on the main thread
4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 148 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
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.

Main-thread work: 1.7 s
A phone's processor spends 1.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 690 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 8 ms
8 msYour server sent the HTML in 8 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 7.7 s
7.7 sYour largest element takes 7.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Time to Interactive: 9.5 s
9.5 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 9.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
First Contentful Paint: 3.2 s
3.2 sThe first text or image appears after 3.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Speed Index: 4.2 s
4.2 sVisually, the page fills in at 4.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
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: 100 ms
100 msScripts block the page for only 100 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.7 MB in 88 requests
2.7 MBYour homepage downloads 2.7 MB in 88 requests on a phone: images 1.9 MB (26), scripts 521 KiB (28) and fonts 189 KiB (6). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
hero-img-1.png 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).
4 images in older formats
4 images (697 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.
About 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit
0.77 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.77 g of CO₂e: 92.3 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
Unlabelled dropdowns
3 dropdowns have no label.
41 text elements with low contrast
41 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
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.
10 form fields without a label
10 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
2 links without text
2 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4, h2 → h6 and h2 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 45 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
50 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 55 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 5 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No meta description
No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
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.
3 links with vague text
3 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
42 internal links, 27 external
The homepage links to 42 pages on newson.io and 27 external pages.
5 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Premium Business Development Done for you.”.

XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.newson.io/wp-sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
No Organization structured data
There is no Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants have no machine-readable facts about who runs the site: its name, logo, profiles and contact details.
No llms.txt
There is no https://www.newson.io/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 (3,521 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
13 pages without a meta description
https://www.newson.io/plans, https://www.newson.io/software, https://www.newson.io/leadgeneration, https://www.newson.io/appointmentsetting, https://www.newson.io/salesclosing and https://www.newson.io/whitelabel and 7 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 page without an H1
https://www.newson.io/case-studies has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

Content and conversion
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.
No phone number on the homepage
A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
About 963 words of copy
The homepage carries about 963 words of visible text.
5 checks passed

Risk reducer mentioned
A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.
Privacy and tracking
1 cookie set on arrival
1Opening the homepage sets 1 cookie (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.
12 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 12 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
1 checks passed
