Speed

15 to fix40
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.8 s · 2.1 MB

    32 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (2.1 MB).

  • Improve image delivery

    1.3 s · 1.4 MB

    10 images could be 1.4 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.3 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    2.2 s

    4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.2 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 40

    40/100

    Your mobile performance score is 40 (desktop: 66). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 5.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 5.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.0 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, YouTube and Google CDN and others), adding 5.4 MB and 2.4 s of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    150 ms · 1.4 MB

    About 1.4 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    900 ms · 360 KiB

    About 360 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 843 ms

    843 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 843 ms of main-thread work and 682 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.

  • YouTube adds 611 ms

    611 ms

    YouTube costs a phone 611 ms of main-thread work and 970 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.

  • Google CDN adds 538 ms

    538 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 538 ms of main-thread work and 736 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.

  • cloudfront.net adds 141 ms

    141 ms

    cloudfront.net costs a phone 141 ms of main-thread work and 2.4 MB 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.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 315 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 1,966 HTML elements

    The page has 1,966 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Amazon Web Services adds 16 ms

    16 ms

    Amazon Web Services costs a phone 16 ms of main-thread work and 340 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.

  • Font display

    100 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).

  • Minify JavaScript

    72 KiB

    72 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    19 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 19 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Phones get a much slower page than desktops

    Desktop scores 66 but mobile only 40. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

  • 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 CSS

    4 KiB

    4 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Server response: 3 ms

    3 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 3 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.

  • Time to Interactive: 30.0 s

    30.0 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 30.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 8.6 s

    8.6 s

    Your largest element takes 8.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Swimming pool”.

  • Speed Index: 8.6 s

    8.6 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 8.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 3.9 s

    3.9 s

    The first text or image appears after 3.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 849 ms

    849 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 849 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user LCP: 2.7 s

    2.7 s

    Real visitors wait 2.7 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 47% slower for real visitors

    +47%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.2 s to 3.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Real-user FCP: 2.7 s

    2.7 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.7 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 8 images without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) got 14% slower for real visitors

    +14%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 98 ms to 111 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

2 checks passed
  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.007

    0.007

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.007, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

2 to fix60
  • Page weight: 6.1 MB in 98 requests

    6.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 6.1 MB in 98 requests on a phone: scripts 2.7 MB (24), images 2.2 MB (27) and fonts 425 KiB (18). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 3 images far larger than shown

    307 KiB

    3 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example 1.webp at 1,920 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 307 KiB.

  • About 1.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.72 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.72 g of CO₂e: 206.4 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 load when needed

    Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.

Accessibility

4 to fixGoogle 9796
  • 2 text elements with low contrast

    2 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 (38 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 38 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 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.

  • 3 form fields without a label

    3 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 23 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 51 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 54 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 51 passed and 3 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 9290
  • Title is long (68 characters)

    Your title is 68 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Luxury Texas Real Estate & Homes For Sale | Phyllis Browning Company”.

  • 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.

  • 236 internal links, 11 external

    The homepage links to 236 pages on phyllisbrowning.com and 11 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 144 characters

    Your meta description is 144 characters: “Explore luxury homes for sale across Texas. Work with Phyllis Browning Company—Central Texas’s trusted name in high-end…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Phyllis Browning Company”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: RealEstateAgent.

  • Open Graph tags complete

    Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.

  • 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.phyllisbrowning.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing url, logo and description. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://www.phyllisbrowning.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

    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 (1,003 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 1 page without a meta description

    https://www.phyllisbrowning.com/landingpages/category/new-developments has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 page without an H1

    https://www.phyllisbrowning.com/exclusive-listings/our-condo has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 1 page slow to respond

    https://www.phyllisbrowning.com/contact-us took over 3 s to send its HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 63 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • 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

3 to fixGoogle 5488

    33 of 35 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

1 to fix95
  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 3 customer or partner logos. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • No map or directions link

    There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

  • About 688 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 688 words of visible text.

9 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “SIGN UP” and “JOIN US”.

  • 22 calls to action

    The homepage has 22 calls to action, for example “Contact Us”, “Sign Up” and “Join Us”.

  • 2 short forms

    2 short forms (5 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

  • Direct contact links

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

  • Opening hours shown

    Your opening hours are on the homepage.

  • Phone number on the homepage

  • Risk reducer mentioned

    A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (measured from a US location before any click). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.

  • 6 cookies set on arrival

    6

    Opening the homepage sets 6 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 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.

  • 24 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 24 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

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