Speed

10 to fix41
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.1 s · 1.3 MB

    About 1.3 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.1 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 41

    41/100

    Your mobile performance score is 41. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 4.9 s

    A phone's processor spends 4.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, sensehq.com and Google CDN and others), adding 3.4 MB and 1.7 s of main-thread time.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    150 ms · 964 KiB

    12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (964 KiB).

  • sensehq.com adds 518 ms

    518 ms

    sensehq.com costs a phone 518 ms of main-thread work and 2.1 MB 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 Tag Manager adds 611 ms

    611 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 611 ms of main-thread work and 540 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.

  • Improve image delivery

    350 ms · 289 KiB

    3 images could be 289 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 350 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google CDN adds 440 ms

    440 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 440 ms of main-thread work and 742 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.

  • 19 long tasks on the main thread

    19 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 443 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Minify JavaScript

    150 ms · 23 KiB

    23 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 20 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 20 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 KiB

    About 150 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Font display

    50 ms

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

  • 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: 54 ms

    54 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 54 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 15.2 s

    15.2 s

    Your largest element takes 15.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Low Voltage and Electrical Staffing”.

  • Time to Interactive: 30.3 s

    30.3 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 30.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 9.5 s

    9.5 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 9.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 934 ms

    934 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 934 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.115

    0.115

    The layout shifts by 0.115 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +3%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 94 ms to 96 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

8 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

  • Real-user LCP: 2.1 s

    2.1 s

    Real visitors wait 2.1 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 92 ms

    92 ms

    Real visitors wait 92 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.04

    0.04

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.04 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.0 s

    1.0 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.0 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 600 ms

    600 ms

    Real visitors wait 600 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 14% faster for real visitors

    -14%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.9 s to 1.6 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • 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.

Images and page weight

2 to fix60
  • Page weight: 6.5 MB in 156 requests

    6.5 MB

    Your homepage downloads 6.5 MB in 156 requests on a phone: scripts 2.7 MB (48), images 1.6 MB (30) and fonts 1.3 MB (10). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 4 images far larger than shown

    121 KiB

    4 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example carlos.webp at 1,600 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 121 KiB.

  • About 1.8 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.85 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.85 g of CO₂e: 221.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images load when needed

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

Accessibility

7 to fixGoogle 9189
  • 14 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 3 tap targets too small

    3 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • Frames without titles

    2 frames have no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what they contain.

  • 16 images without alt text

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

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 14 links without text

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

  • 1 form field without a label

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

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h6, h3 → h6 and h2 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 45 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 50 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 5 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 10095
  • 2 H1 headlines

    There are 2 <h1> headlines (“Staff with experience. Staff with Outsource.” and “Download Our App”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • 66 internal links, 10 external

    The homepage links to 66 pages on outsource.net and 10 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 141 characters

    Your meta description is 141 characters: “Outsource hires skilled electricians and low-voltage installers to assist low voltage and electrical contractors nation…”.

  • Title: 62 characters

    Your title is a healthy 62 characters: “Electrical and Low-Voltage Staffing Nationwide - Outsource.net”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://outsource.net/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, ImageObject, Organization, 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://outsource.net/sitemap_index.xml.

AI search readiness

100
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: 4 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://outsource.net/llms.txt (9 KiB, 69 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 2 pages without a meta description

    https://outsource.net/timesheet-request and https://outsource.net/ppe-request-form 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 35 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    12 pages of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

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

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • 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 12 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9687
  • 10 small tap targets

    10 of 16 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Syntax error, unrecognized expression: #mapbase path.”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

6 to fix56
  • 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 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 phone number on the homepage

    A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.

  • No direct contact details

    No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

  • Only about 114 words

    The homepage has only about 114 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • No opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • No map or directions link

    There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

  • 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.

3 checks passed
  • 8 calls to action

    The homepage has 8 calls to action, for example “Request a Call”, “Timesheet Request” and “PPE Request Form”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

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

  • 18 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 18 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 outsource.net, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
