Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.9 s · 775 KiBAbout 775 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.9 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
2.8 s · 597 KiB21 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (597 KiB).
Mobile performance score: 30
30/100Your mobile performance score is 30 (desktop: 92). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 4.8 s
A phone's processor spends 4.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.6 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, Hubspot and Optanon and others), adding 1.9 MB and 993 ms of main-thread time.
Google Tag Manager adds 530 ms
530 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 530 ms of main-thread work and 690 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.
Reduce unused CSS
430 ms · 92 KiBAbout 92 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 430 ms faster on a phone.
16 long tasks on the main thread
16 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 454 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Render-blocking requests
450 ms4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.
Hubspot adds 244 ms
244 msHubspot costs a phone 244 ms of main-thread work and 310 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.
Vimeo adds 33 ms
33 msVimeo costs a phone 33 ms of main-thread work and 526 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.
Legacy JavaScript
200 ms · 19 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 19 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
74 KiB5 images could be 74 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 92 but mobile only 30. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.
Minify CSS
9 KiB9 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.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.
Minify JavaScript
4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.3 MB in 97 requests
2.3 MBYour homepage downloads 2.3 MB in 97 requests on a phone: scripts 1.8 MB (27), images 275 KiB (37) and stylesheets 83 KiB (3). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
home-hero-crop-sm.png is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
1 image in older formats
1 image (49 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 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit
0.66 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.66 g of CO₂e: 78.8 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
4 text elements with low contrast
4 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings should not be empty (1 element)
Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 56 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
52 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 55 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 52 passed and 3 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
2 links with vague text
2 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
64 internal links, 11 external
The homepage links to 64 pages on pebblepost.com and 11 external pages.

AI search readiness

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.

llms.txt published

Other pages
1 page without a meta description
https://www.pebblepost.com/success-stories has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
5 pages without an H1
https://www.pebblepost.com/acquisition-solutions, https://www.pebblepost.com/retention-solutions, https://www.pebblepost.com/performance-marketing-engine, https://www.pebblepost.com/graph and https://www.pebblepost.com/platform have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
