Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Render-blocking requests
1.5 s3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.5 s.
Mobile performance score: 45
45/100Your mobile performance score is 45 (desktop: 80). 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 CDN, Google Tag Manager and Facebook and others), adding 2.4 MB and 1.3 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
150 ms · 1.1 MBAbout 1.1 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.
Google CDN adds 508 ms
508 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 508 ms of main-thread work and 741 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
450 ms · 121 KiBAbout 121 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
500 ms · 64 KiB1 image could be 64 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 500 ms faster on a phone.
Google Tag Manager adds 490 ms
490 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 490 ms of main-thread work and 525 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.
15 long tasks on the main thread
15 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 368 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Main-thread work: 3.5 s
A phone's processor spends 3.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
ctfassets.net adds 0 ms
0 msctfassets.net costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 897 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
211 KiB7 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (211 KiB).
Legacy JavaScript
43 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 43 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 80 but mobile only 45. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
+1%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 171 ms to 173 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.3 MB in 73 requests
4.3 MBYour homepage downloads 4.3 MB in 73 requests on a phone: scripts 2.3 MB (30), images 903 KiB (11) and fonts 511 KiB (8). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image over 500 KB
praxis2880x1280__1_.jpeg weighs 674 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
praxis2880x1280__1_.jpeg is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit
1.23 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.23 g of CO₂e: 147.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed

Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark (1 element)
Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails 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.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 26 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
38 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 45 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 38 passed and 7 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is short (18 characters)
Your title is only 18 characters: “Praxis Engineering”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
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.
64 internal links, 7 external
The homepage links to 64 pages on praxiseng.com and 7 external pages.
6 checks passed
Meta description: 105 characters
Your meta description is 105 characters: “Praxis supports essential defense and intelligence programs in Maryland, Virginia, and across the nation.”.
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Praxis Engineering”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.gdit.com/praxis/.
Open Graph tags complete

robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place.
XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.gdit.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.
No llms.txt
There is no https://www.gdit.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 (647 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

No console errors

Content and conversion
Local business without LocalBusiness data
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.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 2 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
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 556 words of copy
The homepage carries about 556 words of visible text.
5 checks passed

4 cookies set on arrival
4Opening the homepage sets 4 cookies (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.
16 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 16 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 praxiseng.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
