pixelpro.co.za website review

12 images could be 1.5 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

Your mobile performance score is 80. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 700 ms.

6 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Google/Doubleclick Ads and Google Fonts and others), adding 462 KiB and 212 ms of main-thread time.

2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 160 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

About 159 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

1 file is served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (8 KiB).

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Your largest element takes 4.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Albert Bredenhann running a Pixel Pro Media AI workshop for…”.

The page becomes fully interactive after 4.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 3.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

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.

13 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example ws-capetown-07nov.jpg at 1,672 px wide, shown at 348 px. Resized copies would save about 1.2 MB.

Your homepage downloads 3.4 MB in 44 requests on a phone: images 2.6 MB (16), scripts 431 KiB (13) and fonts 275 KiB (3). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

14 images (2.6 MB) 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.

12 images further down the page (2.3 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.95 g of CO₂e: 114.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

The homepage links to 47 pages on pixelpro.co.za and 5 external pages.

https://www.pixelpro.co.za/services/ai-training, https://www.pixelpro.co.za/training and https://www.pixelpro.co.za/workshops took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 19 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

Large scripts ship without source maps.

No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.

The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

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

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

The homepage carries about 694 words of visible text.

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.

Opening the homepage sets 5 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

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.

Loading the homepage contacts 9 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
