Speed

4 to fix57
  • Improve image delivery

    9.4 s · 6.3 MB

    10 images could be 6.3 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 9.4 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    4.0 s

    35 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 4.0 s.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    890 ms · 185 KiB

    About 185 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 890 ms faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 57

    57/100

    Your mobile performance score is 57 (desktop: 79). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 36 KiB

    About 36 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 3 third-party services on the page

    3 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Google Fonts and termly.io), adding 188 KiB and 43 ms of main-thread time.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 0.6 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 245 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

5 to fix67
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 58.6 s

    58.6 s

    Your largest element takes 58.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Creating Success for 50 Years”.

  • Time to Interactive: 62.3 s

    62.3 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 62.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 10.7 s

    10.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 10.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 4.7 s

    4.7 s

    The first text or image appears after 4.7 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

  • Total Blocking Time: 0 ms

    0 ms

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

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 18.6 MB in 75 requests

    18.6 MB

    Your homepage downloads 18.6 MB in 75 requests on a phone: images 17.8 MB (16), scripts 427 KiB (23) and fonts 339 KiB (5). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 2 images in older formats

    2 images (116 KiB) 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.

  • 1 image below the first screen load straight away

    1 image further down the page (62 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 5.3 g of CO₂ per visit

    5.28 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 5.28 g of CO₂e: 633.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

11 to fixGoogle 8687
  • 11 tap targets too small

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

  • 6 text elements with low contrast

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (10 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 10 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (3 elements)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Banner landmark should not be contained in another landmark (1 element)

    Banner landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Contentinfo landmark should not be contained in another landmark (1 element)

    Contentinfo landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Document should not have more than one banner landmark (1 element)

    Document should not have more than one banner landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark (1 element)

    Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • No main landmark

    The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

  • Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)

    Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 2 links without text

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

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 11 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 37 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: 37 passed and 12 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

5 to fixGoogle 9266
  • No meta description

    No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • No H1 headline

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

  • Title is long (76 characters)

    Your title is 76 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Paradigm Design – National Architectural, Engineering & Interior Design Firm”.

  • No structured data

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

  • No social preview image

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

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

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

  • 17 internal links, 6 external

    The homepage links to 17 pages on paradigmae.com and 6 external pages.

3 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.paradigmae.com/.

  • 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://www.paradigmae.com/wp-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.

  • No llms.txt

    There is no /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.

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

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 9 pages without a meta description

    /about, /portfolio, /services, /our-team, /careers and /contact and 3 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 page without an H1

    /contact has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 4 pages with very little text

    /contact, /privacy-policy, /terms-of-service and /cookie-policy have under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

  • 9 internal pages checked

    We fetched 9 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 9 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • 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.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 9 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 9 small tap targets

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

2 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix86
  • 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.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 23 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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

    No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

  • About 680 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 680 words of visible text.

5 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “CONTACT”.

  • 3 calls to action

    The homepage has 3 calls to action, for example “CONTACT”, “Join Our Team” and “Contact Us”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 2 phone links and 0 email links.

  • Phone number on the homepage

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

Privacy and tracking

  • 1 tracker load before any consent

    1

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Tag Manager (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (Termly) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 2 cookies set on arrival

    2

    Opening the homepage sets 2 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 4 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 4 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: Termly

    A consent management tool (Termly) loads with the page.
