Speed
Render-blocking requests
1.8 s9 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.8 s.
Mobile performance score: 46
46/100Your mobile performance score is 46. 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 Tag Manager, reddit and Facebook and others), adding 1.2 MB and 1.4 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
450 ms · 614 KiBAbout 614 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
750 ms · 139 KiBAbout 139 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.
Google Tag Manager adds 570 ms
570 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 570 ms of main-thread work and 688 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
456 KiB32 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (456 KiB).
Improve image delivery
390 KiB9 images could be 390 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Main-thread work: 3.5 s
A phone's processor spends 3.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
reddit adds 261 ms
261 msreddit costs a phone 261 ms of main-thread work and 27 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.
1,532 HTML elements
The page has 1,532 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
11 long tasks on the main thread
11 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 192 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
94 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 94 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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.

Server response: 24 ms
24 msYour server sent the HTML in 24 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors
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.
Largest Contentful Paint: 8.6 s
8.6 sYour largest element takes 8.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Time to Interactive: 20.3 s
20.3 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 20.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Total Blocking Time: 705 ms
705 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 705 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Speed Index: 5.8 s
5.8 sVisually, the page fills in at 5.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Real-user CLS: 0.22
0.22For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.22 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
Real-user TTFB: 1.0 s
1.0 sReal visitors wait 1.0 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
51 images without width and height
51 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
First Contentful Paint: 2.4 s
2.4 sThe first text or image appears after 2.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.117
0.117The layout shifts by 0.117 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
Tap response (INP) got 18% slower for real visitors

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.4 MB in 178 requests
3.4 MBYour homepage downloads 3.4 MB in 178 requests on a phone: scripts 1.7 MB (51), images 1.4 MB (66) and stylesheets 162 KiB (5). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
15 images below the first screen load straight away
15 images further down the page (798 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
5 images far larger than shown
83 KiB5 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example rightworks_homepage_small-to-mid-sized-firms-1.webp at 1,080 px wide, shown at 350 px. Resized copies would save about 83 KiB.
About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit
0.96 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.96 g of CO₂e: 115.4 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
Malformed lists
Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.
Orphan list items
Some list items are not inside a list.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (2 elements)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
6 links without text
6 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings should not be empty (10 elements)
Headings should not be empty: 10 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h6, h2 → h5 and h2 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 64 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
50 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 57 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 7 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
14 links crawlers can't follow
14 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
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.
