nrdy.com website review

Your mobile performance score is 73. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 150 ms.

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

About 12 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 40 ms faster on a phone.

1 image could be 7 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

2 third-party services load with your homepage (Plausible and Google Fonts), adding 35 KiB and 3 ms of main-thread time.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

The layout shifts by 0.659 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

Your largest element takes 2.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Welcome to NRDY THIS IS A COLLECTION OF INFORMATION, ARTICL…”.

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 0.08 g of CO₂e: 9.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

Some list items are not inside a list.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 10 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.

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

Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

Your title is only 26 characters: “Website by Michael Radigan”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.

No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

No XML sitemap at https://nrdy.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

There is no robots.txt at nrdy.com/robots.txt, the first file search crawlers ask for.

The homepage links to only 2 pages on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.

No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

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.

The HTML your server sends has 283 of the 473 words a browser shows. AI crawlers don't run JavaScript, so they miss the rest.

There is no https://nrdy.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://nrdy.com/privacy.html has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.

https://nrdy.com/privacy.html has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

We fetched 1 page linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

5 of 14 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).

1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Connecting to 'https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Source+Sans+Pro:300,300italic,600,600italic' violates the follow…”.

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

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

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 473 words of visible text.

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 3 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
