Speed

8 to fix52
  • Render-blocking requests

    6.6 s

    25 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 6.6 s.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    3.3 s · 636 KiB

    About 636 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.3 s faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    1.4 s · 380 KiB

    10 images could be 380 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.4 s faster on a phone.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Squarespace, Google Tag Manager and convertkit.com and others), adding 3.4 MB and 734 ms of main-thread time.

  • Mobile performance score: 52

    52/100

    Your mobile performance score is 52. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Squarespace adds 522 ms

    522 ms

    Squarespace costs a phone 522 ms of main-thread work and 1.0 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 CSS

    410 ms · 76 KiB

    About 76 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 410 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 1.8 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.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 32 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 32 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 5 long tasks on the main thread

    5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 179 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    150 ms · 26 KiB

    5 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (26 KiB).

  • Font display

    100 ms

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

  • 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: 1.9 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 743 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 28 ms

    28 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 28 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix63
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 16.6 s

    16.6 s

    Your largest element takes 16.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “3_Reese_PersonalTrainerNutritionist.png”.

  • First Contentful Paint: 7.3 s

    7.3 s

    The first text or image appears after 7.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 17.6 s

    17.6 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 17.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 11.4 s

    11.4 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 11.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 206 ms

    206 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 206 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 6 images without width and height

    6 images 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: 0.003

    0.003

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.003, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

4 to fix57
  • 5 images far larger than shown

    901 KiB

    5 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example image-asset.jpeg at 1,440 px wide, shown at 175 px. Resized copies would save about 901 KiB.

  • Page weight: 3.8 MB in 93 requests

    3.8 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.8 MB in 93 requests on a phone: images 2.2 MB (25), scripts 1.3 MB (35) and fonts 170 KiB (10). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    3_Reese_PersonalTrainerNutritionist.png 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).

  • 6 images below the first screen load straight away

    6 images further down the page (1.1 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.08 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.08 g of CO₂e: 129.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

Accessibility

3 to fixGoogle 9695
  • 1 text element with low contrast

    1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (4 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 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.

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 27 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. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

5 to fixGoogle 8568
  • No meta description

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

  • No H1 headline

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

  • Title is short (13 characters)

    Your title is only 13 characters: “Reese Fitness”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • Structured data has 2 problems

    Structured data found (LocalBusiness, Organization and WebSite) but with 2 problems, for example “WebSite: image is not an absolute URL ("//images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff78783d08d4c35ac1…”.

  • 4 links with vague text

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

  • Open Graph partly set

    Open Graph is missing og:description, so shared links fall back to guesses.

  • 29 internal links, 7 external

    The homepage links to 29 pages on reesefitness.com and 7 external pages.

3 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

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

  • 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.reesefitness.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (2 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing name, url, logo and description. 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://www.reesefitness.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 (601 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 5 pages without a meta description

    https://www.reesefitness.com/in-person-training, https://www.reesefitness.com/online-training, https://www.reesefitness.com/nutritional-coaching, https://www.reesefitness.com/built-with-strength and https://www.reesefitness.com/testimonials have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 2 pages with very little text

    https://www.reesefitness.com/get-started and https://www.reesefitness.com/testimonials have under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

  • 8 internal pages checked

    We fetched 8 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 8 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.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 8 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693

Content and conversion

1 to fix95
  • No phone number on the homepage

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

  • No map or directions link

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Book A FREE Consultation!”.

  • 2 short forms

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 0 phone links and 1 email link.

  • Opening hours shown

    Your opening hours are on the homepage.

  • LocalBusiness structured data

    Your homepage describes the business with LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants can read its address, hours and phone reliably.

  • Risk reducer mentioned

    A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.

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.

  • 7 cookies set on arrival

    7

    Opening the homepage sets 7 cookies, 2 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.

  • 12 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 12 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 reesefitness.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
