Render-blocking requests
1.8 s21 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.8 s.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
450 ms · 1.4 MB44 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.4 MB).
Mobile performance score: 88
88/100Your mobile performance score is 88 (desktop: 99). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Improve image delivery
300 ms · 399 KiB4 images could be 399 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 85 KiBAbout 85 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
WordPress adds 0 ms
0 msWordPress costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 604 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 JavaScript
150 ms · 177 KiBAbout 177 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used 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 (WordPress Site Stats, WordPress and colliersengineering.com), adding 645 KiB and 1 ms of main-thread time.
Minify CSS
6 KiB6 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.

Main-thread work: 0.4 s
A phone's processor spends 0.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 142 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 92 ms
92 msYour server sent the HTML in 92 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 3.8 s
3.8 sYour largest element takes 3.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Expanding our services with new capabilities to elevate cli…”.
First Contentful Paint: 1.8 s
1.8 sThe first text or image appears after 1.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
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.
4 checks passed
Time to Interactive: 3.8 s
3.8 sThe page is fully interactive after 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 2.7 s
2.7 sVisually, the page fills in at 2.7 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.003
0.003The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.003, good is under 0.1).
Total Blocking Time: 0 ms
0 msScripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.1 MB in 57 requests
4.1 MBYour homepage downloads 4.1 MB in 57 requests on a phone: media 2.8 MB (2), images 604 KiB (9) and scripts 343 KiB (20). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
3 images below the first screen load straight away
3 images further down the page (137 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit
1.16 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.16 g of CO₂e: 138.9 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 are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
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.
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 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 12 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
30 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 32 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 30 passed and 2 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
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 short (29 characters)
Your title is only 29 characters: “Welcome - Phase Zero Design -”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
Structured data has 1 problem
Structured data found (BreadcrumbList, ImageObject, WebPage and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “WebSite: missing name”.
No XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at https://phasezerodesign.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
No robots.txt
There is no robots.txt at phasezerodesign.com/robots.txt, the first file search crawlers ask for.
Only 2 internal links
The homepage links to only 2 pages on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.
No favicon declared
No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.
1 link with vague text
1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.
2 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://phasezerodesign.com/.
Open Graph tags complete
Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.
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.
No llms.txt
There is no https://phasezerodesign.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.
2 checks passed
AI answer engines may read the site
There is no robots.txt, so nothing stops the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity from reading the site and cite it in answers.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (270 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Best practices
2 JavaScript errors while loading
2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
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.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 12 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
Phone number is not tap-to-call
Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.
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 263 words of copy
The homepage carries about 263 words of visible text.
1 checks passed
1 call to action
The homepage has 1 call to action, for example “Learn More”.
Privacy and tracking
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.
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
No known trackers before consent
No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).
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 phasezerodesign.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
