Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.6 s · 403 KiB3 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (403 KiB).
Mobile performance score: 87
87/100Your mobile performance score is 87. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
750 ms2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 750 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.
1 third-party service on the page
1 third-party service load with your homepage (Google Fonts), adding 38 KiB and 0 ms of main-thread time.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 0.1 s
A phone's processor spends 0.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 8 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 1 ms
1 msYour server sent the HTML in 1 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 3.9 s
3.9 sYour largest element takes 3.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “The UTM Tracking Framework That Actually Scales”.
Time to Interactive: 3.9 s
3.9 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 3.9 s. Good is under 3.8 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.
4 checks passed
First Contentful Paint: 1.5 s
1.5 sThe first text or image appears after 1.5 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Speed Index: 2.6 s
2.6 sVisually, the page fills in at 2.6 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Total Blocking Time: 0 ms
0 msScripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
1 image far larger than shown
392 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example avatar.jpg at 1,875 px wide, shown at 112 px. Resized copies would save about 392 KiB.
1 image in older formats
1 image (405 KiB) is JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.
About 0.1 g of CO₂ per visit
0.13 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.13 g of CO₂e: 16.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Page weight: 485 KiB in 6 requests
485 KiBYour homepage downloads 485 KiB in 6 requests on a phone: images 434 KiB (2), fonts 37 KiB (1) and HTML 8 KiB (1). That is a lean page.
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Accessibility
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 (2 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
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 2 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
35 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 38 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 35 passed and 3 failed. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

Content and conversion
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 direct contact details
No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.
Only about 83 words
The homepage has only about 83 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
2 calls to action
The homepage has 2 calls to action, for example “Contact Me” and “Contact”.
Analytics in place

2 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 2 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

The security, domain and email checks, software and plugin versions, and any app with a known security problem are visible only to people at ryanabrams.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
