northstartdigitalmarketing.com website review

1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 350 ms.

5 images could be 304 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

4 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (199 KiB).

1 third-party service load with your homepage (Facebook), adding 224 KiB and 157 ms of main-thread time.

2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 129 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

About 78 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

Polyfills for old browsers add 13 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.

Visually, the page fills in at 3.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

The page becomes fully interactive after 4.3 s. Good is under 3.8 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.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.26 g of CO₂e: 30.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

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

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

Your meta description is 181 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

Structured data found (Organization and Service) but with 1 problem, for example “Service: no offers (price) block”.

The homepage links to 26 pages on northstartdigitalmarketing.com and 1 external page.

There is no https://northstartdigitalmarketing.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://northstartdigitalmarketing.com/growth-assessment is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

https://northstartdigitalmarketing.com/contact and https://northstartdigitalmarketing.com/terms 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 11 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

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 testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

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

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

The homepage carries about 1,604 words of visible text.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Meta Pixel (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 1 cookie (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 2 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
