Use efficient cache lifetimes
4.8 s · 48.5 MB127 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (48.5 MB).
Improve image delivery
2.3 s · 22.2 MB43 images could be 22.2 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.3 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
4.3 s15 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 4.3 s.
Minify JavaScript
1.2 s · 202 KiB202 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Mobile performance score: 27
27/100Your mobile performance score is 27 (desktop: 59). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
5 third-party services on the page
5 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Google Tag Manager and Bootstrap CDN and others), adding 636 KiB and 503 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
300 ms · 211 KiBAbout 211 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Google CDN adds 273 ms
273 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 273 ms of main-thread work and 307 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.
8 long tasks on the main thread
8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 135 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Reduce unused CSS
32 KiBAbout 32 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 59 but mobile only 27. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.
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.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 1.6 s
A phone's processor spends 1.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 547 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 2 ms
2 msYour server sent the HTML in 2 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Cumulative Layout Shift: 2.472
2.472The layout shifts by 2.472 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
Largest Contentful Paint: 8.0 s
8.0 sYour largest element takes 8.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “We are Creators, Innovators and Storytellers. “What sets us…”.
Speed Index: 12.3 s
12.3 sVisually, the page fills in at 12.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
First Contentful Paint: 4.7 s
4.7 sThe first text or image appears after 4.7 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Time to Interactive: 9.7 s
9.7 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 9.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Total Blocking Time: 263 ms
263 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 263 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
11 images without width and height
11 images 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.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 49.3 MB in 140 requests
49.3 MBYour homepage downloads 49.3 MB in 140 requests on a phone: images 48.2 MB (112), scripts 624 KiB (11) and fonts 301 KiB (8). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
2 images far larger than shown
35 KiB2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example spinifex-new-york.png at 1,030 px wide, shown at 330 px. Resized copies would save about 35 KiB.
2 images in older formats
2 images (464 KiB) 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.
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (27 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 14.0 g of CO₂ per visit
13.98 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 13.98 g of CO₂e: 1677.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
Malformed lists
Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.
14 images without alt text
14 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 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.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings should not be empty (4 elements)
Headings should not be empty: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3, h2 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
30 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 37 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 30 passed and 7 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
88 links crawlers can't follow
88 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
6 H1 headlines
There are 6 <h1> headlines (“About Us”, “Contact” and “Our Services”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Meta description is long (170 characters)
Your meta description is 170 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
No XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at https://spinifexgroup.com/sitemap.rss, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
Only 4 internal links
The homepage links to only 4 pages on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.
4 checks passed
Title: 42 characters
Your title is a healthy 42 characters: “Creative & Digital Agency | Spinifex Group”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://spinifexgroup.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, CollectionPage, Organization and WebSite.
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.
AI search readiness
Organization data is thin (2 of 6 facts)
Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.
No llms.txt
There is no https://spinifexgroup.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 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 (2,193 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 linked page is broken
Your homepage links to https://spinifexgroup.com/%7B%7Bstream%7D%7D, which answers with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop it.
1 internal page checked
We fetched 1 page linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.
Best practices
87 distorted images
87 images are displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so they look stretched or squashed.
11 small tap targets
11 of 16 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
1 JavaScript error while loading
1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()”.
2 low-resolution images
2 images are served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.
1 checks passed
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.
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
Phone number is not tap-to-call
Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.
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 2,165 words of copy
The homepage carries about 2,165 words of visible text.
3 checks passed
1 short form
A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Analytics.
Phone number on the homepage

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.
2 cookies set on arrival
2Opening the homepage sets 2 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.
5 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 5 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 spinifexgroup.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
