Speed

2 to fix98
  • Render-blocking requests

    950 ms

    8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 950 ms.

  • Improve image delivery

    365 KiB

    3 images could be 365 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 14 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 14 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    10 KiB

    1 file is served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (10 KiB).

  • 1 third-party service on the page

    1 third-party service load with your homepage (rybbit.io), adding 14 KiB and 5 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.

  • Minify JavaScript

    2 KiB

    2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

3 checks passed
  • Mobile performance score: 98

    98/100

    Your mobile performance score is 98. That is in Google's “good” band (90 and up).

  • Main-thread work: 0.3 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 114 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 4 ms

    4 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

2 to fix100
  • Speed Index: 4.2 s

    4.2 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 4.2 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.

5 checks passed
  • First Contentful Paint: 1.3 s

    1.3 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.3 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 1.3 s

    1.3 s

    Your largest element renders in 1.3 s on a phone, inside Google's 2.5 s “good” threshold. The largest element is the text “North America’s Recruiting Experts Since 1978”.

  • Total Blocking Time: 0 ms

    0 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Time to Interactive: 1.3 s

    1.3 s

    The page is fully interactive after 1.3 s.

Images and page weight

1 to fix90
  • 1 image far larger than shown

    327 KiB

    1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example Manufacturing-Operations-Picture.jpg at 1,920 px wide, shown at 68 px. Resized copies would save about 327 KiB.

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (40 KiB) is 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 0.2 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.15 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.15 g of CO₂e: 18.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • Page weight: 558 KiB in 39 requests

    558 KiB

    Your homepage downloads 558 KiB in 39 requests on a phone: images 388 KiB (10), scripts 81 KiB (18) and fonts 43 KiB (1). That is a lean page.

  • Images load when needed

    Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.

Accessibility

9 to fixGoogle 8688
  • 5 text elements with low contrast

    5 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • ARIA commands must have an accessible name (2 elements)

    ARIA commands must have an accessible name: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • Positive tabindex

    2 elements have a tabindex above 0, which scrambles the keyboard order.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (3 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Zoom is disabled

    The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

  • 1 form field without a label

    1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (2 elements)

    Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings should not be empty (1 element)

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

  • Users should be able to zoom and scale the text up to 500% (1 element)

    Users should be able to zoom and scale the text up to 500%: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 11 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 39 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 47 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 39 passed and 8 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 10080
  • Title is short (28 characters)

    Your title is only 28 characters: “National Register USA | Home”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • 7 H1 headlines

    There are 7 <h1> headlines (“North American Search Experts”, “Our Proprietary Database and Market Connections” and “Markets and Position Expertise”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • Meta description is long (226 characters)

    Your meta description is 226 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 46 internal links, 10 external

    The homepage links to 46 pages on nr-usa.com and 10 external pages.

4 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.nr-usa.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, WebPage and WebSite.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.nr-usa.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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.

3 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 (813 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://www.nr-usa.com/llms.txt (8 KiB, 30 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

2 to fix88
  • 2 pages share a title

    https://www.nr-usa.com/b2b-recruitment-services/intern-program and https://www.nr-usa.com/b2b-recruitment-services/privacypolicy all use the title “National Register USA| Intern Program”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 12 pages without a meta description

    https://www.nr-usa.com/it-sales-recruiters/sales, https://www.nr-usa.com/it-sales-recruiters/marketing, https://www.nr-usa.com/it-sales-recruiters/manufacturing-operations, https://www.nr-usa.com/it-sales-recruiters/executive-search, https://www.nr-usa.com/it-sales-recruiters/request-an-employee and https://www.nr-usa.com/pharma-sales-jobs/faq and 6 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 20 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9293
  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Error parsing JSON: SyntaxError: Unexpected token '&', "[&quot;https://www.nr-usa.com/wp-"... is not valid JSON”.

  • 6 low-resolution images

    6 images are served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    14 of 17 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix67
  • 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 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.

  • Phone number is not tap-to-call

    Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.

  • 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.

  • About 263 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 263 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Call Us” and “Contact Us”.

  • 3 calls to action

    The homepage has 3 calls to action, for example “Contact Us” and “Contact Us Today”.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.

Privacy and tracking

  • 3 cookies set on arrival

    3

    Opening the homepage sets 3 cookies (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.

  • 1 other company contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 1 host 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 nr-usa.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
