Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
2.9 s · 945 KiB62 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (945 KiB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.7 s · 1.1 MBAbout 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 s2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.
Mobile performance score: 40
40/100Your 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 KiB14 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 msGoogle 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 KiBAbout 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 mshsappstatic.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 KiBPolyfills 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 msHubspot 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 msopenwidget.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 KiB10 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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 6.8 MB in 170 requests
6.8 MBYour 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 KiB3 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 gBy 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
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
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
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
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.
