Speed

6 to fix76
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.2 s

    32 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.2 s.

  • 1 third-party service on the page

    1 third-party service load with your homepage (Vimeo), adding 16.0 MB and 314 ms of main-thread time.

  • Vimeo adds 314 ms

    314 ms

    Vimeo costs a phone 314 ms of main-thread work and 16.0 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.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    600 ms · 682 KiB

    About 682 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 76

    76/100

    Your mobile performance score is 76. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Main-thread work: 2.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    150 ms · 104 KiB

    9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (104 KiB).

  • Font display

    250 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 250 ms).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 37 KiB

    About 37 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 4 long tasks on the main thread

    4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 86 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Improve image delivery

    38 KiB

    3 images could be 38 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 3 ms

    3 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 3 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix88
  • Speed Index: 9.3 s

    9.3 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 9.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 11.1 s

    11.1 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 11.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 3.5 s

    3.5 s

    The first text or image appears after 3.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 3.5 s

    3.5 s

    Your largest element takes 3.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “In my experience in business – from start-ups to Fortune 50…”. Most of its time is element render delay (2.3 s).

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

  • Total Blocking Time: 44 ms

    44 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 44 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 16.6 MB in 108 requests

    16.6 MB

    Your homepage downloads 16.6 MB in 108 requests on a phone: other files 15.0 MB (34), scripts 1.2 MB (31) and stylesheets 157 KiB (31). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image below the first screen load straight away

    1 image further down the page (25 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 4.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    4.71 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 4.71 g of CO₂e: 565.7 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

6 to fixGoogle 8992
  • 4 text elements with low contrast

    4 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 (3 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 3 elements on the page fail 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.

  • 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.

  • The skip-link target should exist and be focusable (1 element)

    The skip-link target should exist and be focusable: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 1 link without text

    1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 3 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 45 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 39 passed and 6 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 10085
  • No H1 headline

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

  • Meta description is long (168 characters)

    Your meta description is 168 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 31 internal links, 0 external

    The homepage links to 31 pages on redsuncreative.studio and 0 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Title: 35 characters

    Your title is a healthy 35 characters: “Home - Red Sun Creative Videography”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://redsuncreative.studio/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, ImageObject, Organization, WebPage and WebSite.

  • 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.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://redsuncreative.studio/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

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

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. 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://redsuncreative.studio/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 (432 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

3 to fix88
  • 3 pages without a meta description

    https://redsuncreative.studio/music-2, https://redsuncreative.studio/community and https://redsuncreative.studio/privacy-policy have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 3 pages share a meta description

    https://redsuncreative.studio/business, https://redsuncreative.studio/about-us and https://redsuncreative.studio/connect use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 4 pages without an H1

    https://redsuncreative.studio/music-2, https://redsuncreative.studio/community, https://redsuncreative.studio/about-us and https://redsuncreative.studio/connect have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 2 pages slow to respond

    https://redsuncreative.studio/music-2 and https://redsuncreative.studio/about-us took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

  • 6 internal pages checked

    We fetched 6 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 6 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • 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 6 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 5888
  • 6 small tap targets

    6 of 11 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 3 third-party cookies

    3 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • Deprecated browser APIs

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

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

2 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

4 to fix50
  • 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.

  • No analytics detected

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

  • Only about 167 words

    The homepage has only about 167 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • No form on the homepage

    There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • 4 calls to action

    The homepage has 4 calls to action, for example “Contact”.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 1 email link.

Privacy and tracking

  • 6 cookies set on arrival

    6

    Opening the homepage sets 6 cookies, 3 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.

  • 5 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 5 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • No known trackers before consent

    No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).

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