pjm.com website review

24 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 4.1 s.

84 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (891 KiB).

Your mobile performance score is 46 (desktop: 72). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

About 298 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 760 ms faster on a phone.

About 85 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 460 ms faster on a phone.

73 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

2 images could be 47 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.

The page has 2,852 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

Esri ArcGIS costs a phone 249 ms of main-thread work and 352 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.

4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 263 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

5 third-party services load with your homepage (Esri ArcGIS, Highcharts and Qualtrics and others), adding 565 KiB and 422 ms of main-thread time.

16 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

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

Desktop scores 72 but mobile only 46. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

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

Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

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.

Your largest element takes 7.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

The first text or image appears after 5.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

The page becomes fully interactive after 8.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

The layout shifts by 0.288 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

Visually, the page fills in at 5.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Real visitors wait 2.9 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

Real visitors see the first content after 2.6 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

Real visitors wait 1.5 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

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

3 images (385 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.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.40 g of CO₂e: 47.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

5 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 34 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

4 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

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

No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

72 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

Your title is only 11 characters: “PJM Website”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.

No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.

3 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

The homepage links to 509 pages on pjm.com and 42 external pages.

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.

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

https://www.pjm.com/about-pjm, https://www.pjm.com/about-pjm/corporate-strategy-and-value, https://www.pjm.com/about-pjm/who-we-are/pjm-board/board-meetings and https://www.pjm.com/about-pjm/who-we-are/pjm-board/independent-market-monitor have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 200 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

2 images failed to load on a phone, for example https://insidelines.pjm.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/FERC-Office-Building-1024x1024-139x81.jpg.

18 of 33 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).

1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)”.

1 image is served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.

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.

Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.

No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

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 730 words of visible text.

Opening the homepage sets 10 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 7 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
