Speed

10 to fix45
  • Improve image delivery

    5.3 s · 2.1 MB

    8 images could be 2.1 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 5.3 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    2.0 s

    12 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.0 s.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.5 s · 377 KiB

    About 377 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.5 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 45

    45/100

    Your mobile performance score is 45 (desktop: 73). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • 7 third-party services on the page

    7 third-party services load with your homepage (Squarespace, Google Tag Manager and Google CDN and others), adding 4.3 MB and 965 ms of main-thread time.

  • Squarespace adds 735 ms

    735 ms

    Squarespace costs a phone 735 ms of main-thread work and 961 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

    300 ms · 138 KiB

    About 138 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.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    300 ms · 104 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 104 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • squarespace-cdn.com adds 0 ms

    0 ms

    squarespace-cdn.com costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 2.5 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.

  • Adobe TypeKit adds 10 ms

    10 ms

    Adobe TypeKit costs a phone 10 ms of main-thread work and 570 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.

  • 6 long tasks on the main thread

    6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 244 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    150 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 150 ms).

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    50 ms · 6 KiB

    3 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (6 KiB).

  • Phones get a much slower page than desktops

    Desktop scores 73 but mobile only 45. 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 2.0 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 791 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 33 ms

    33 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 33 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix54
  • First Contentful Paint: 7.9 s

    7.9 s

    The first text or image appears after 7.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 20.1 s

    20.1 s

    Your largest element takes 20.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “We’re in the Knowledge Business”.

  • Time to Interactive: 20.2 s

    20.2 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 20.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 11.1 s

    11.1 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 11.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 443 ms

    443 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 443 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 1 image without width and height

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

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

2 to fix63
  • Page weight: 4.4 MB in 106 requests

    4.4 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.4 MB in 106 requests on a phone: images 2.5 MB (12), scripts 1.1 MB (57) and fonts 584 KiB (21). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 2 images below the first screen load straight away

    2 images further down the page (369 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.23 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.23 g of CO₂e: 148.0 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

2 to fixGoogle 9096
  • 3 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 4 links without text

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

  • 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 18 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 39 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 42 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 39 passed and 3 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 9282
  • Title is short (15 characters)

    Your title is only 15 characters: “Perelson Weiner”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • Meta description is long (257 characters)

    Your meta description is 257 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • Structured data has 1 problem

    Structured data found (WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “WebSite: image is not an absolute URL ("//images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a582d59d38bf5224ea…”.

  • 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.

  • 49 internal links, 0 external

    The homepage links to 49 pages on pwcpa.com and 0 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “KNOWLEDGE BUSINESS”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • 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.pwcpa.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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 /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 (491 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

5 to fix76
  • 4 pages share 2 titles

    /about-us and /about-us-1 all use the title “About Us — Perelson Weiner”, and 1 other title repeat too. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 8 pages without a meta description

    /about-us, /awards, /private-company-corporate-services, /non-profit-foundation-services, /services-overview and /insights and 2 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 3 pages share a meta description

    /tax-strategy, /high-net-worth-services and /nycaccountingandauditclienttypesanservices use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 2 links to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 2 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example /about-us-1, whose canonical is /about-us. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 6 pages without an H1

    /about-us, /careers, /private-company-corporate-services, /non-profit-foundation-services, /ourprofessionals and /about-us-1 have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 14 internal pages checked

    We fetched 14 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

3 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 14 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 14 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 6 JavaScript errors while loading

    6 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Refused to apply style from 'https://www.pwcpa.com/s/plugin-lightbox.css' because its MIME type ('text/html') is not a …”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    11 of 11 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

1 to fix93
  • No Content-Security-Policy

    No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • Short HSTS lifetime

    HSTS is set, but max-age is 180 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

  • No Referrer-Policy

    No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

  • No Permissions-Policy

    No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

  • No security.txt

    There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

6 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (pwcpa.com).

  • Valid certificate (59 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YR1 verifies for pwcpa.com and is valid for another 59 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

    X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://pwcpa.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2

    The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.

  • All 16 links work

    All 16 links checked from your homepage (16 internal, 0 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    pwcpa.com has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.

  • DNSSEC is off

    pwcpa.com's DNS answers are not signed. DNSSEC stops attackers forging them to send visitors or email elsewhere; most registrars switch it on in a click, though most sites still run without it.

2 checks passed
  • Domain is 30 years old

    30 years

    pwcpa.com was registered in Oct 1996 through Network Solutions, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Oct 2029

    pwcpa.com is registered until Oct 2029.

Content and conversion

3 to fix58
  • 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.

  • No social proof

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

  • 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.

  • No opening hours

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

  • 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 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 301 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 301 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • 8 calls to action

    The homepage has 8 calls to action, for example “Join Our Team”, “Contact us” and “JOIN OUR TEAM”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage.

Email authentication

2 to fix60
  • DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be pwcpa.com is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.

  • No DKIM key on the usual selectors

    We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.

  • Email authentication score: 60/100

    Email authentication: SPF record 25 points, plus 15 when it ends in -all (10 for ~all); DMARC record 25, plus 25 for a reject policy (15 for quarantine); a DKIM key on a common selector 10.

1 checks passed
  • SPF in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:us._netblocks.mimecast.com ~all”.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 2 trackers load before any consent

    2

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads 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.

  • 1 cookie set on arrival

    1

    Opening the homepage sets 1 cookie (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.

  • 10 other companies contacted

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

Upkeep, stack and company

  • It loads jQuery 2.2.0, older than 3.5 (which fixed known security holes).
