Speed

3 to fix90
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    600 ms · 302 KiB

    About 302 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    750 ms

    4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 750 ms.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 358 ms

    358 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 358 ms of main-thread work and 345 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 third-party services on the page

    5 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Mouseflow and Google Analytics and others), adding 422 KiB and 423 ms of main-thread time.

  • 5 long tasks on the main thread

    5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 230 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    37 KiB

    2 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (37 KiB).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    10 KiB

    About 10 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • 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.

3 checks passed
  • Mobile performance score: 90

    90/100

    Your mobile performance score is 90 (desktop: 100). That is in Google's “good” band (90 and up).

  • Main-thread work: 1.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 728 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 6 ms

    6 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 6 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

3 to fix88
  • Time to Interactive: 7.3 s

    7.3 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 7.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 3.0 s

    3.0 s

    Your largest element takes 3.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Struck”.

  • Total Blocking Time: 240 ms

    240 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 240 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 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.

3 checks passed
  • First Contentful Paint: 1.5 s

    1.5 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.5 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

  • Speed Index: 1.5 s

    1.5 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 1.5 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.

Images and page weight

100
  • About 0.2 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.22 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.22 g of CO₂e: 25.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Page weight: 779 KiB in 22 requests

    779 KiB

    Your homepage downloads 779 KiB in 22 requests on a phone: scripts 655 KiB (9), fonts 52 KiB (1) and HTML 48 KiB (1). That is a lean page.

Accessibility

1 to fixGoogle 10098
  • 8 images without alt text

    8 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (8 elements).

1 checks passed
  • 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

3 to fixGoogle 10083
  • Title is short (6 characters)

    Your title is only 6 characters: “Struck”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • Meta description is short (60 characters)

    Your meta description is only 60 characters: “STRUCK works with companies ready to transform their brands.”. 70 to 160 characters is enough to sell the click.

  • 2 H1 headlines

    There are 2 <h1> headlines (“Working with brands ready to be transformed.” and “Here's the news:”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • 31 internal links, 5 external

    The homepage links to 31 pages on struck.com and 5 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.struck.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, Organization, WebPage and WebSite.

  • 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.struck.com/sitemap_index.xml.

AI search readiness

100
4 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.

  • Organization data: 4 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (242 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://www.struck.com/llms.txt (5 KiB, 28 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 5 pages without a meta description

    https://www.struck.com/work/capstan, https://www.struck.com/work/revolution-medicines, https://www.struck.com/work/chia-pet, https://www.struck.com/news/24-projects-from-2024 and https://www.struck.com/news/struck-has-an-architect-in-the-house have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 page without an H1

    https://www.struck.com/careers has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 12 pages with very little text

    https://www.struck.com/contact, https://www.struck.com/work, https://www.struck.com/about, https://www.struck.com/careers, https://www.struck.com/work/capstan and https://www.struck.com/work/revolution-medicines and 6 others 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.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 24 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    8 of 9 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix75
  • 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.

  • Only about 232 words

    The homepage has only about 232 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • No opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • No form on the homepage

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

  • No map or directions link

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

  • 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.

5 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Contact Us”.

  • 3 calls to action

    The homepage has 3 calls to action, for example “Contact Us”, “Contact” and “Subscribe”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 2 phone links and 4 email links.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, 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.

  • 1 cookie set on arrival

    1

    Opening the homepage sets 1 cookie (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 struck.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
