Reduce unused JavaScript
3.4 s · 885 KiBAbout 885 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.4 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.4 s9 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.
Mobile performance score: 49
49/100Your mobile performance score is 49 (desktop: 60). 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 (Squarespace, Google Tag Manager and sqspcdn.com and others), adding 2.9 MB and 1.3 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
750 ms · 136 KiBAbout 136 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.
Improve image delivery
600 ms · 275 KiB7 images could be 275 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.
Squarespace adds 704 ms
704 msSquarespace costs a phone 704 ms of main-thread work and 1.3 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 524 ms
524 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 524 ms of main-thread work and 705 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: 3.2 s
A phone's processor spends 3.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 985 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
squarespace-cdn.com adds 0 ms
0 mssquarespace-cdn.com costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 832 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
150 ms · 101 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 101 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
12 long tasks on the main thread
12 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 213 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
10 KiB2 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (10 KiB).
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.

Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 15.1 s
15.1 sYour largest element takes 15.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Soulsight-halo-top-branding-agency.jpg”.
Time to Interactive: 18.5 s
18.5 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 18.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 7.9 s
7.9 sVisually, the page fills in at 7.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
First Contentful Paint: 4.0 s
4.0 sThe first text or image appears after 4.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Total Blocking Time: 437 ms
437 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 437 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
1 image without width and height
1 image have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
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.

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.0 MB in 90 requests
3.0 MBYour homepage downloads 3.0 MB in 90 requests on a phone: scripts 1.9 MB (50), images 740 KiB (12) and stylesheets 165 KiB (11). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image far larger than shown
54 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example Soulsight-halo-top-branding-agency.jpg at 1,500 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 54 KiB.
About 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit
0.86 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.86 g of CO₂e: 103.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Accessibility
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 14 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
41 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 41 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 41 passed and 0 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
2 H1 headlines
There are 2 <h1> headlines (“Premier CPG Branding Agency” and “We Are Built Different”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Meta description is long (245 characters)
Your meta description is 245 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
Structured data has 1 problem
Structured data found (WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “WebSite: image is not an absolute URL ("//images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69cc660bba11fa2a049…”.
29 internal links, 2 external
The homepage links to 29 pages on soulsight.com and 2 external pages.
5 checks passed
Title: 53 characters
Your title is a healthy 53 characters: “Soulsight | CPG Branding & Packaging Agency | Chicago”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.soulsight.com/.
Open Graph tags complete
Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.
XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.soulsight.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
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.
3 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.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (227 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://www.soulsight.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 23 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
1 page points its canonical at the homepage
https://www.soulsight.com/home declares the homepage as its canonical URL, which tells Google it is a copy of the homepage and keeps it out of search results. A site-wide template setting usually causes this.
2 pages share a title
/ and https://www.soulsight.com/home all use the title “Soulsight | CPG Branding & Packaging Agency | Chicago”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
3 pages without an H1
https://www.soulsight.com/jif-brand-redesign, https://www.soulsight.com/privacy-policy and https://www.soulsight.com/terms-and-conditions have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
2 pages with very little text
https://www.soulsight.com/reel and https://www.soulsight.com/contact have under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

Content and conversion
No call to action on the first screen

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.
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.
