Mobile performance score: 78
78/100Your mobile performance score is 78 (desktop: 100). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Font display
200 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 200 ms).
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 30 KiB1 image could be 30 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 JavaScript
72 KiBAbout 72 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
1 long task on the main thread
1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 62 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
22 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 22 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
1 third-party service on the page
1 third-party service load with your homepage (prismic.io), adding 105 KiB and 7 ms of main-thread time.
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.

Main-thread work: 0.3 s
A phone's processor spends 0.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 120 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 4 ms
4 msYour server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.506
0.506The layout shifts by 0.506 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
3 images without width and height
3 images 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.
5 checks passed
Largest Contentful Paint: 2.0 s
2.0 sYour largest element renders in 2.0 s on a phone, inside Google's 2.5 s “good” threshold. The largest element is the image “Nexus Brands Group corporate office”.
Time to Interactive: 2.5 s
2.5 sThe page is fully interactive after 2.5 s.
First Contentful Paint: 0.8 s
0.8 sThe first text or image appears after 0.8 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Speed Index: 0.8 s
0.8 sVisually, the page fills in at 0.8 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.
Total Blocking Time: 6 ms
6 msScripts block the page for only 6 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
About 0.10 g of CO₂ per visit
0.10 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.10 g of CO₂e: 11.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
4 checks passed
Page weight: 350 KiB in 20 requests
350 KiBYour homepage downloads 350 KiB in 20 requests on a phone: scripts 175 KiB (10), images 104 KiB (5) and fonts 61 KiB (2). That is a lean page.
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
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.
<html> element must have a lang attribute (1 element)
<html> element must have a lang attribute: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
2 images without alt text
2 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
No page language
The <html> element has no lang attribute, so screen readers may read the page in the wrong voice and accent.
1 checks passed
33 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 36 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 33 passed and 3 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is short (12 characters)
Your title is only 12 characters: “Nexus Brands”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
No canonical URL
No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.
No robots.txt
There is no robots.txt at nexusbrands.com/robots.txt, the first file search crawlers ask for.
Open Graph partly set
Open Graph is missing og:title and og:description, so shared links fall back to guesses.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
15 internal links, 3 external
The homepage links to 15 pages on nexusbrands.com and 3 external pages.
3 checks passed
Meta description: 121 characters
Your meta description is 121 characters: “Formed in 2015, Nexus Brands Group consists of leading brands serving professionals in lifestyle-oriented niche markets…”.
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “The Nexus Family of Brands”.
XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://nexusbrands.com/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://nexusbrands.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.
1 checks passed
AI answer engines may read the site
There is no robots.txt, so nothing stops the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity from reading the site and cite it in answers.
Other pages
5 pages share a meta description
https://nexusbrands.com/about, https://nexusbrands.com/brands, https://nexusbrands.com/careers, https://nexusbrands.com/our-customer and https://nexusbrands.com/contact-us use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
2 pages with very little text
https://nexusbrands.com/our-customer and https://nexusbrands.com/contact-us 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.

Best practices
21 third-party cookies
21 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.
Browser-reported issues
Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).
3 checks passed
No console errors
No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.
Tap targets are thumb-sized
12 of 14 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
No call to action on the first screen
On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
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.
Only about 47 words
The homepage has only about 47 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
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 risk reducer
No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.
2 checks passed
2 calls to action
The homepage has 2 calls to action, for example “Contact Us”.
Direct contact links
Visitors can reach you directly: 0 phone links and 1 email link.
Privacy and tracking
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.
4 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 4 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
1 checks passed
No known trackers before consent
No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).
Security, domain, email and software versions
The security, domain and email checks, software and plugin versions, and any app with a known security problem are visible only to people at nexusbrands.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
