Speed

11 to fix50
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    5.8 s · 940 KiB

    About 940 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 5.8 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    3.7 s

    27 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.7 s.

  • Main-thread work: 7.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 7.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Improve image delivery

    2.0 MB

    14 images could be 2.0 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Google Tag Manager and Accessibe Accessibility Overlay and others), adding 1.5 MB and 865 ms of main-thread time.

  • Mobile performance score: 50

    50/100

    Your mobile performance score is 50. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    800 ms · 145 KiB

    6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (145 KiB).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    600 ms · 103 KiB

    About 103 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.

  • Google CDN adds 427 ms

    427 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 427 ms of main-thread work and 743 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.

  • Font display

    300 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 300 ms).

  • 1,515 HTML elements

    The page has 1,515 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Minify JavaScript

    150 ms · 24 KiB

    24 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 21 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 21 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Minify CSS

    150 ms · 6 KiB

    6 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • 11 long tasks on the main thread

    11 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 130 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 5 ms

    5 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 5 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix61
  • First Contentful Paint: 10.6 s

    10.6 s

    The first text or image appears after 10.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 18.3 s

    18.3 s

    Your largest element takes 18.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.

  • Speed Index: 16.3 s

    16.3 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 16.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 18.5 s

    18.5 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 18.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 253 ms

    253 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 253 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 3 images without width and height

    3 images 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.

1 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.018

    0.018

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.018, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

4 to fix43
  • Page weight: 10.5 MB in 153 requests

    10.5 MB

    Your homepage downloads 10.5 MB in 153 requests on a phone: images 7.7 MB (67), scripts 2.0 MB (37) and other files 375 KiB (17). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 28 images in older formats

    28 images (2.1 MB) are 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.

  • 29 images below the first screen load straight away

    29 images further down the page (1.7 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • 2 images far larger than shown

    197 KiB

    2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example 1.png at 1,500 px wide, shown at 122 px. Resized copies would save about 197 KiB.

  • About 3.0 g of CO₂ per visit

    2.98 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.98 g of CO₂e: 357.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

5 to fixGoogle 9093
  • 13 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 3 images without alt text

    3 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (23 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 23 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 26 links without text

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

  • 13 form fields without a label

    13 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

1 checks passed
  • 45 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 49 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 4 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 7780
  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • Title is short (21 characters)

    Your title is only 21 characters: “Online Growth Systems”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • 1 link crawlers can't follow

    1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.

  • 1 link with vague text

    1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

  • 139 internal links, 12 external

    The homepage links to 139 pages on onlinegrowthsystems.com and 12 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 120 characters

    Your meta description is 120 characters: “Scaling Ecommerce and SaaS Companies through software and web development, content creation, marketing, and advertising.”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://onlinegrowthsystems.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, ImageObject, WebPage and WebSite.

  • Open Graph tags complete

    Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.

  • 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://onlinegrowthsystems.com/sitemap_index.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.

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

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 11 pages without a meta description

    https://onlinegrowthsystems.com/services, https://onlinegrowthsystems.com/service/ada-compliance-service, https://onlinegrowthsystems.com/service/animated-explainer-video-service, https://onlinegrowthsystems.com/service/audience-engagement-service, https://onlinegrowthsystems.com/service/blogging-service and https://onlinegrowthsystems.com/service/email-marketing-service and 5 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 12 pages without an H1

    https://onlinegrowthsystems.com/services, https://onlinegrowthsystems.com/service/ada-compliance-service, https://onlinegrowthsystems.com/service/animated-explainer-video-service, https://onlinegrowthsystems.com/service/audience-engagement-service, https://onlinegrowthsystems.com/service/blogging-service and https://onlinegrowthsystems.com/service/email-marketing-service and 6 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 6 pages slow to respond

    https://onlinegrowthsystems.com/service/ada-compliance-service, https://onlinegrowthsystems.com/service/audience-engagement-service, https://onlinegrowthsystems.com/service/email-marketing-service, https://onlinegrowthsystems.com/service/social-media-video-service, https://onlinegrowthsystems.com/service/360-degree-camera-content-service and https://onlinegrowthsystems.com/app-managed-services took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

5 checks passed

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 9671
  • 2 broken images

    2 images failed to load on a phone, for example https://onlinegrowthsystems.com/wp-content/uploads/2-400x12402-400x1240/11/2-400x124.png.

  • 3 small tap targets

    3 of 7 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

1 to fix83
  • No call to action on the first screen

    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 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 625 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 625 words of visible text.

5 checks passed
  • 9 calls to action

    The homepage has 9 calls to action, for example “Contact Us”, “Learn More” and “Get Started”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and X (Twitter) Ads (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.

  • 8 cookies set on arrival

    8

    Opening the homepage sets 8 cookies, 2 of them by other companies (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.

  • 17 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 17 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

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 onlinegrowthsystems.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
