Speed

11 to fix53
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    2.4 s · 4.6 MB

    123 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (4.6 MB).

  • Render-blocking requests

    2.0 s

    48 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.0 s.

  • Main-thread work: 4.3 s

    A phone's processor spends 4.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Google Tag Manager and FontAwesome CDN and others), adding 2.3 MB and 1.3 s of main-thread time.

  • Improve image delivery

    450 ms · 633 KiB

    5 images could be 633 KiB 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.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.0 MB

    About 1.0 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Mobile performance score: 53

    53/100

    Your mobile performance score is 53 (desktop: 54). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Google CDN adds 407 ms

    407 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 407 ms of main-thread work and 1.1 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.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 309 ms

    309 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 309 ms of main-thread work and 542 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.

  • FontAwesome CDN adds 251 ms

    251 ms

    FontAwesome CDN costs a phone 251 ms of main-thread work and 344 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.

  • 2,243 HTML elements

    The page has 2,243 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • 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 · 99 KiB

    About 99 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.

  • 16 long tasks on the main thread

    16 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 139 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Minify JavaScript

    13 KiB

    13 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    12 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 12 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: 13 ms

    13 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 13 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

9 to fix67
  • 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.

  • Real-user FCP: 3.1 s

    3.1 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 13.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 7.9 s

    7.9 s

    Your largest element takes 7.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Experience The SSC Difference Your Supplier Of Choice, Craf…”. Most of its time is element render delay (6.0 s).

  • First Contentful Paint: 3.6 s

    3.6 s

    The first text or image appears after 3.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user LCP: 3.2 s

4 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 146 ms

  • Largest content (LCP) got 24% faster for real visitors

    -24%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 4.8 s to 3.6 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.012

    0.012

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.012, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

3 to fix53
  • Page weight: 7.7 MB in 188 requests

    7.7 MB

    Your homepage downloads 7.7 MB in 188 requests on a phone: images 3.6 MB (34), scripts 2.3 MB (55) and other files 839 KiB (25). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 16 images in older formats

    16 images (1.9 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.

  • 13 images below the first screen load straight away

    13 images further down the page (1.6 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 2.2 g of CO₂ per visit

    2.17 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.17 g of CO₂e: 260.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

12 to fixGoogle 8686
  • 1 button without a name

    1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • 25 tap targets too small

    25 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • 14 text elements with low contrast

    14 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • Form elements should have a visible label (1 element)

    Form elements should have a visible label: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 1 image without alt text

    1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • 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.

  • Banner landmark should not be contained in another landmark (1 element)

    Banner landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Contentinfo landmark should not be contained in another landmark (1 element)

    Contentinfo landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Document should not have more than one banner landmark (1 element)

    Document should not have more than one banner landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark (1 element)

    Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark: 1 element on the page fails 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.

  • 5 form fields without a label

    5 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 49 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 60 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 passed and 11 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 9298
  • 12 links with vague text

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

  • 85 internal links, 124 external

    The homepage links to 85 pages on servicespring.com and 124 external pages.

8 checks passed
  • Meta description: 158 characters

AI search readiness

4 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.

  • Organization data: 4 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and description; sameAs (social profiles) and contact details would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,992 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://www.servicespring.com/llms.txt (140 KiB, 747 links, though it should open with a “# Title” line), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

1 to fix0
  • 1 linked page is broken

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 36 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix83
  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 2 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • A 9-field form

    Your longest form asks for 9 fields (6 required). Every extra field lowers completion.

  • 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.

    The homepage carries about 1,329 words of visible text.

4 checks passed

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

    Visitors can reach you directly: 7 phone links and 1 email link.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 6 trackers load before any consent

    6

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and Meta Pixel and 1 more (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.

  • 12 cookies set on arrival

    12

    Opening the homepage sets 12 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.

  • 24 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 24 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 servicespring.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
