nobis-group.com website review

21 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.6 s.

41 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1,005 KiB).

About 285 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.

9 images could be 403 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.

Your mobile performance score is 62 (desktop: 92). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

102 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 191 ms of main-thread work and 294 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.

4 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Google Fonts and Adobe TypeKit and others), adding 468 KiB and 191 ms of main-thread time.

About 14 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 160 ms faster on a phone.

4 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 157 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).

Desktop scores 92 but mobile only 62. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

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 8.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “residential site remediation energy / infrastructure site d…”.

The first text or image appears after 4.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

The page becomes fully interactive after 8.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 5.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

5 images 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.

Your homepage downloads 2.9 MB in 53 requests on a phone: images 2.2 MB (22), scripts 553 KiB (13) and fonts 177 KiB (6). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

4 images (294 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.

3 images further down the page (225 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.83 g of CO₂e: 99.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.

10 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 27 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

6 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

Your title is 72 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Nobis Group - Civil Engineering, Geotechnical & Environmental Consulting”.

There are 8 <h1> headlines (“engineering & environmental solutions”, “” and “wide capabilities with local sensibilities.”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

The homepage links to 62 pages on nobis-group.com and 5 external pages.

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.

There is no https://nobis-group.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://nobis-group.com/markets, https://nobis-group.com/markets/residential, https://nobis-group.com/services, https://nobis-group.com/projects, https://nobis-group.com/about and https://nobis-group.com/leadership have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 24 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

5 images are displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so they look stretched or squashed.

Large scripts ship without source maps.

No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

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

The homepage carries about 254 words of visible text.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (measured from a US location before any click). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.

Opening the homepage sets 2 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 7 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
