Speed

8 to fix27
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    4.8 s · 48.5 MB

    127 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (48.5 MB).

  • Improve image delivery

    2.3 s · 22.2 MB

    43 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 s

    15 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 KiB

    202 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Mobile performance score: 27

    27/100

    Your 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 KiB

    About 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 ms

    Google 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 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    32 KiB

    About 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 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 2 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

7 to fix28
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 2.472

    2.472

    The 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 s

    Your 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 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 12.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 4.7 s

    4.7 s

    The 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 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 9.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 263 ms

    263 ms

    Scripts 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

2 to fix60
  • Page weight: 49.3 MB in 140 requests

    49.3 MB

    Your 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 KiB

    2 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 g

    By 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

7 to fixGoogle 6988
  • 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

6 to fixGoogle 8580
  • 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

1 to fix88
  • 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 to fix0
  • 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

3 to fixGoogle 9285
  • 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

4 to fix50
  • 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

    Your phone number is on the homepage.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 2 trackers load before any consent

    2

    Before 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

    2

    Opening 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.
