Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
9.1 s · 3.7 MB15 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (3.7 MB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
10.8 s · 1.7 MBAbout 1.7 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 10.8 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.2 s4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.2 s.
Improve image delivery
450 ms · 9.0 MB8 images could be 9.0 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Google CDN and Other Google APIs/SDKs and others), adding 16.2 MB and 602 ms of main-thread time.
apptegy.net adds 29 ms
29 msapptegy.net costs a phone 29 ms of main-thread work and 14.7 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.
Mobile performance score: 52
52/100Your mobile performance score is 52 (desktop: 59). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused CSS
550 ms · 251 KiBAbout 251 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 550 ms faster on a phone.
Google Tag Manager adds 308 ms
308 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 308 ms of main-thread work and 687 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.
Legacy JavaScript
300 ms · 29 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 29 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Google CDN adds 233 ms
233 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 233 ms of main-thread work and 734 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.
Main-thread work: 2.5 s
A phone's processor spends 2.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
2,235 HTML elements
The page has 2,235 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
12 long tasks on the main thread
12 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 188 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
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.

Server response: 20 ms

Core Web Vitals
First Contentful Paint: 18.9 s
18.9 sThe first text or image appears after 18.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 31.4 s
31.4 sYour largest element takes 31.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s.
Speed Index: 18.9 s
18.9 sVisually, the page fills in at 18.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Time to Interactive: 38.8 s
38.8 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 38.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
4 images without width and height
4 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

Images and page weight
2 images over 500 KB
2 images weigh 24.1 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
2 images far larger than shown
22.5 MB2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example e8443b9c-6d0a-4305-87dc-96ed6dee6065.png at 4,032 px wide, shown at 350 px. Resized copies would save about 22.5 MB.
Page weight: 18.9 MB in 145 requests
18.9 MBYour homepage downloads 18.9 MB in 145 requests on a phone: images 14.4 MB (17), scripts 2.8 MB (14) and other files 1.1 MB (105). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
5 images in older formats
5 images (24.4 MB) are 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 5.3 g of CO₂ per visit
5.35 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 5.35 g of CO₂e: 641.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Accessibility
Invalid ARIA attributes
1 element use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.
Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes (1 element)
Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (3 elements)
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor 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).
1 checks passed
44 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 47 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 passed and 3 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
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 (16 characters)
Your title is only 16 characters: “Client Challenge”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
No canonical URL
No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
Only 0 internal links
The homepage links to only 0 pages on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.
No favicon declared
No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
2 checks passed

robots.txt is in place.
XML sitemap found

AI search readiness
Most text only appears after JavaScript runs
11%A phone browser shows 333 words, but the HTML your server sends has only 35. GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot read that HTML without running JavaScript, so they see an almost empty page. Server-side rendering or pre-rendering fixes it.
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 https://www.sau18.nh.gov/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.
1 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.
Best practices
1 JavaScript error while loading
1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'setAttribute')”.
2 checks passed
Tap targets are thumb-sized
25 of 26 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
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 calls to action
We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.
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.
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.
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.
About 333 words of copy
The homepage carries about 333 words of visible text.
Privacy and tracking
2 trackers load before any consent
2Before 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.
5 cookies set on arrival
5Opening the homepage sets 5 cookies (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 sau18.org, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
