Speed
Mobile performance score: 50
50/100Your mobile performance score is 50 (desktop: 54). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused CSS
600 ms · 171 KiBAbout 171 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.
6 third-party services on the page
6 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Google Maps and Other Google APIs/SDKs and others), adding 1.6 MB and 563 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
591 KiBAbout 591 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
506 KiB12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (506 KiB).
Google CDN adds 378 ms
378 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 378 ms of main-thread work and 795 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.
Google Maps adds 143 ms
143 msGoogle Maps costs a phone 143 ms of main-thread work and 404 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.
5 long tasks on the main thread
5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 174 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Minify CSS
7 KiB7 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
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 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

18.5 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 18.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.379

First Contentful Paint: 2.7 s
2.7 sThe first text or image appears after 2.7 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
3 images without width and height

Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.0 MB in 62 requests
4.0 MBYour homepage downloads 4.0 MB in 62 requests on a phone: fonts 1.3 MB (9), scripts 1.2 MB (14) and images 933 KiB (17). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image in older formats
1 image (30 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 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit
1.13 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.13 g of CO₂e: 135.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
Hidden but focusable
1 element hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
Frames without titles
1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 11 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
40 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 43 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 40 passed and 3 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (70 characters)
Your title is 70 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Skilled Trades, Marine & Industrial Staffing Nationwide | NSC Staffing”.
Meta description is long (218 characters)
Your meta description is 218 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
Open Graph partly set
Open Graph is missing og:title and og:description, so shared links fall back to guesses.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
84 internal links, 33 external
The homepage links to 84 pages on nscstaffing.com and 33 external pages.
5 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “National staffing for the industries that build, power, and move America.”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://nscstaffing.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: ItemList, LocalBusiness, Organization and WebPage.
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.
XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://nscstaffing.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
No llms.txt
There is no https://nscstaffing.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.
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.
Organization data: 6 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,674 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
4 pages share a title
https://nscstaffing.com/staffing, https://nscstaffing.com/payroll-payroll-processing, https://nscstaffing.com/msp-managed-services-provider and https://nscstaffing.com/workforce-management all use the title “NSC Staffing | Nationwide Skilled Trades & Workforce Solutions”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
4 pages share a meta description
https://nscstaffing.com/staffing, https://nscstaffing.com/payroll-payroll-processing, https://nscstaffing.com/msp-managed-services-provider and https://nscstaffing.com/workforce-management use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

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