Speed
Render-blocking requests
1.8 s4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.8 s.
Improve image delivery
1.1 s · 333 KiB7 images could be 333 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 67
67/100Your mobile performance score is 67 (desktop: 96). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
630 ms · 151 KiBAbout 151 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 630 ms faster on a phone.
Minify JavaScript
320 ms · 70 KiB70 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
200 ms · 17 KiB2 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (17 KiB).
3 third-party services on the page
3 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and Google Fonts), adding 233 KiB and 132 ms of main-thread time.
2 long tasks on the main thread
2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 123 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
24 KiBAbout 24 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 96 but mobile only 67. 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.

Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 10.0 s
10.0 sYour largest element takes 10.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.

First Contentful Paint: 2.6 s

Speed Index: 4.6 s
4.6 sVisually, the page fills in at 4.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
3 images without width and height
3 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.
2 checks passed

114 msScripts block the page for only 114 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.049

Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.1 MB in 29 requests
2.1 MBYour homepage downloads 2.1 MB in 29 requests on a phone: images 1.6 MB (15), scripts 404 KiB (6) and fonts 44 KiB (2). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit
0.58 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.58 g of CO₂e: 69.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
1 button without a name
1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
6 text elements with low contrast
6 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Hidden but focusable
2 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)

Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)
Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
1 link without text
1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 3 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
42 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 49 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 42 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
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
3 links crawlers can't follow
3 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
91 internal links, 1 external
The homepage links to 91 pages on spp.com.au and 1 external page.

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.
No llms.txt
There is no https://spp.com.au/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 (683 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages

https://spp.com.au/insights has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

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.
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.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
