smithandassociates.com website review

3 images could be 2.2 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Google CDN and Facebook and others), adding 1.9 MB and 806 ms of main-thread time.

Your mobile performance score is 86 (desktop: 68). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

About 889 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

The page goes through 1 redirect before it starts loading, costing about 780 ms. Link and advertise the final URL directly.

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 448 ms of main-thread work and 964 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.

Google CDN costs a phone 241 ms of main-thread work and 736 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.

5 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (160 KiB).

8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 123 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

About 65 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

The HTML itself could arrive about 50 ms sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.

Polyfills for old browsers add 12 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

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.

The page becomes fully interactive after 20.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

The first text or image appears after 3.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Real visitors wait 853 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

Your largest element takes 3.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Find Your Tampa Bay Dream Home”.

26 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

Your homepage downloads 5.1 MB in 73 requests on a phone: images 2.5 MB (9), scripts 1.9 MB (39) and other files 357 KiB (11). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.45 g of CO₂e: 173.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

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

1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.

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

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

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

Your canonical URL points to google.com, not smithandassociates.com, so Google may credit that host instead.

No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

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 is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.

1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

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.

There is no https://smithandassociates.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 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Access to fetch at 'https://www.google.com/recaptcha/challengepage/_/RecaptchaChallengePageUi/browserinfo?f.sid=6074049…”.

On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.

No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

The homepage has only about 17 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

Opening the homepage sets 1 cookie (measured from a US location before any click).

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.

Loading the homepage contacts 3 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
