Speed

13 to fix40
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    2.9 s · 945 KiB

    62 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (945 KiB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.7 s · 1.1 MB

    About 1.1 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.7 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.4 s

    2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 40

    40/100

    Your mobile performance score is 40 (desktop: 57). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, hsappstatic.net and Facebook and others), adding 2.8 MB and 1.2 s of main-thread time.

  • Improve image delivery

    650 ms · 649 KiB

    14 images could be 649 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 650 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 482 ms

    482 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 482 ms of main-thread work and 851 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

    340 ms · 74 KiB

    About 74 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 340 ms faster on a phone.

  • hsappstatic.net adds 286 ms

    286 ms

    hsappstatic.net costs a phone 286 ms of main-thread work and 696 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

    300 ms · 26 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 26 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Main-thread work: 2.8 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Hubspot adds 137 ms

    137 ms

    Hubspot costs a phone 137 ms of main-thread work and 389 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.

  • openwidget.com adds 76 ms

    76 ms

    openwidget.com costs a phone 76 ms of main-thread work and 473 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.

  • 10 long tasks on the main thread

    10 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 187 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Minify CSS

    10 KiB

    10 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 9 ms

    9 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 9 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

10 to fix50
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

  • First Contentful Paint: 10.9 s

    10.9 s

    The first text or image appears after 10.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 23.2 s

    23.2 s

    Your largest element takes 23.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.

  • Time to Interactive: 32.4 s

    32.4 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 32.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 10.9 s

    10.9 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 10.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.20

    0.20

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.20 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user TTFB: 911 ms

    911 ms

    Real visitors wait 911 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.197

    0.197

    The layout shifts by 0.197 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • 22 images without width and height

    22 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • Total Blocking Time: 289 ms

    289 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 289 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

3 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    Real visitors wait 1.7 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.6 s

    1.6 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.6 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 34% faster for real visitors

    -34%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.5 s to 1.7 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight

3 to fix53
  • Page weight: 6.8 MB in 170 requests

    6.8 MB

    Your homepage downloads 6.8 MB in 170 requests on a phone: scripts 2.8 MB (58), images 2.5 MB (47) and other files 679 KiB (49). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 3 images far larger than shown

    246 KiB

    3 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example logo-polynesian-cultural-center-trim.png at 3,492 px wide, shown at 94 px. Resized copies would save about 246 KiB.

  • 5 images below the first screen load straight away

    5 images further down the page (320 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • 4 images in older formats

    4 images (243 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.

  • About 1.9 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.93 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.93 g of CO₂e: 231.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

1 to fixGoogle 9698
  • 18 text elements with low contrast

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

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 25 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 46 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 47 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 1 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 10092
  • Meta description is long (168 characters)

    Your meta description is 168 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 21 internal links, 2 external

    The homepage links to 21 pages on pedowitzgroup.com and 2 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Turn your marketing into a revenue engine.”.

  • Title: 63 characters

    Your title is a healthy 63 characters: “The Pedowitz Group | Revenue Marketing Agency & HubSpot Partner”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: FAQPage.

  • 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.pedowitzgroup.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

2 to fix70
  • 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.

  • Parts of the site are closed to 2 AI crawlers

    Your robots.txt lets ChatGPT search (OAI-SearchBot) and Perplexity (PerplexityBot) read the homepage but closes other sections to them, so answers about those pages can't cite you.

  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://www.pedowitzgroup.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.

1 checks passed
  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,346 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 2 pages without an H1

    https://www.pedowitzgroup.com/client-results and https://www.pedowitzgroup.com/axo-aeo-assessment have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 17 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

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

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 15 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • 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 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 7389
  • 1 third-party cookie

    1 third-party cookie is set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • 5 JavaScript errors while loading

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

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix70
  • 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 direct contact details

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

  • 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 970 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 970 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • 3 calls to action

    The homepage has 3 calls to action, for example “Book a free HubSpot audit →”, “Request my AXO diagnostic” and “Book 30 minutes with Jeff”.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 6 testimonial or review blocks, 19 customer or partner logos, 2 trust badges and “Trusted by 1,500+ companies”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and HubSpot.

Privacy and tracking

  • 6 trackers load before any consent

    6

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, HubSpot and LinkedIn Insight and 1 more (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (HubSpot cookie banner) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 17 cookies set on arrival

    17

    Opening the homepage sets 17 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 46 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 46 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: HubSpot cookie banner

    A consent management tool (HubSpot cookie banner) loads with the page.

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