Reduce unused JavaScript
3.0 s · 483 KiBAbout 483 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.0 s faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
1.2 s · 283 KiB2 images could be 283 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.2 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 59
59/100Your mobile performance score is 59 (desktop: 77). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
900 ms7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 900 ms.
Reduce unused CSS
750 ms · 136 KiBAbout 136 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.
4 third-party services on the page
4 third-party services load with your homepage (Squarespace, sqspcdn.com and squarespace-cdn.com and others), adding 1.7 MB and 470 ms of main-thread time.
Squarespace adds 456 ms
456 msSquarespace costs a phone 456 ms of main-thread work and 1.2 MB 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.
Legacy JavaScript
300 ms · 96 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 96 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
squarespace-cdn.com adds 0 ms
0 mssquarespace-cdn.com costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 422 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.
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 165 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.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 1.4 s
A phone's processor spends 1.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 459 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 114 ms
114 msYour server sent the HTML in 114 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 12.7 s
12.7 sYour largest element takes 12.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “vlcsnap-2026-10-02-11h33m33s652.png”.
Time to Interactive: 12.7 s
12.7 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 12.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
First Contentful Paint: 4.5 s
4.5 sThe first text or image appears after 4.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Speed Index: 6.0 s
6.0 sVisually, the page fills in at 6.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
1 image without width and height
1 image 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.
2 checks passed
Total Blocking Time: 173 ms
173 msScripts block the page for only 173 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
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
grid-background.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).
About 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit
0.51 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.51 g of CO₂e: 60.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Page weight: 1.8 MB in 68 requests
1.8 MBYour homepage downloads 1.8 MB in 68 requests on a phone: scripts 1.1 MB (43), images 405 KiB (3) and stylesheets 167 KiB (13). That is a lean page.
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
8 text elements with low contrast
8 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 13 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
36 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 37 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 36 passed and 1 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Structured data has 1 problem
Structured data found (WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “WebSite: image is not an absolute URL ("//images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6643b2dc0dd50a66bee…”.

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.northramp.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 (498 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 page without an H1
https://www.northramp.com/contact-us has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
2 pages with very little text
https://www.northramp.com/contact-us and https://www.northramp.com/past-performances 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.
