Speed

10 to fix23
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    4.4 s · 1.1 MB

    About 1.1 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.4 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    2.3 s

    5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.3 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 23

    23/100

    Your mobile performance score is 23 (desktop: 52). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 5.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 5.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 15 long tasks on the main thread

    15 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 1.9 s. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, hsappstatic.net and Facebook and others), adding 1.7 MB and 1.5 s of main-thread time.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    500 ms · 338 KiB

    12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (338 KiB).

  • Improve image delivery

    500 ms · 223 KiB

    5 images could be 223 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 500 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 558 ms

    558 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 558 ms of main-thread work and 532 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.

  • hsappstatic.net adds 428 ms

    428 ms

    hsappstatic.net costs a phone 428 ms of main-thread work and 695 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.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 135 KiB

    About 135 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 21 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 21 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Font display

    50 ms

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

  • Phones get a much slower page than desktops

    Desktop scores 52 but mobile only 23. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

  • Minify CSS

    8 KiB

    8 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 172 ms

    172 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 172 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

15 to fix0
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

  • First Contentful Paint: 8.7 s

    8.7 s

    The first text or image appears after 8.7 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 25.5 s

    25.5 s

    Your largest element takes 25.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “NEW HOMES DESIGNED FOR YOUR LIFE NEW HOUSES, TOWNHOMES, AND…”.

  • Speed Index: 18.8 s

    18.8 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 18.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 32.5 s

    32.5 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 32.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 1.9 s

    1.9 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 1.9 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user LCP: 2.8 s

    2.8 s

    Real visitors wait 2.8 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 342 ms

    342 ms

    Real visitors wait 342 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.19

    0.19

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.19 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Tap response (INP) got 40% slower for real visitors

    +40%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 236 ms to 336 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 37% slower for real visitors

    +37%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.1 s to 2.8 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Real-user FCP: 2.2 s

    2.2 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.2 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.0 s

    1.0 s

    Real visitors wait 1.0 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.13

    0.13

    The layout shifts by 0.13 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • 4 images without width and height

    4 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

Images and page weight

3 to fix53
  • Page weight: 15.3 MB in 105 requests

    15.3 MB

    Your homepage downloads 15.3 MB in 105 requests on a phone: media 9.5 MB (2), scripts 2.7 MB (26) and images 1.7 MB (38). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    25-year-logo.png is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).

  • 12 images far larger than shown

    205 KiB

    12 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example 1200 at 1,200 px wide, shown at 360 px. Resized copies would save about 205 KiB.

  • About 4.3 g of CO₂ per visit

    4.33 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 4.33 g of CO₂e: 519.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

Accessibility

6 to fixGoogle 8890
  • ARIA commands must have an accessible name (4 elements)

    ARIA commands must have an accessible name: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • Links look like plain text

    4 links inside paragraphs rely on colour alone to stand out.

  • 2 text elements with low contrast

    2 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • Interactive controls must not be nested (2 elements)

    Interactive controls must not be nested: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (10 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 10 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • No main landmark

    The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 35 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 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 42 passed and 6 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 9298
  • 2 links with vague text

    2 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.

  • 30 internal links, 6 external

    The homepage links to 30 pages on stylecrafthomes.com and 6 external pages.

8 checks passed
  • Meta description: 146 characters

    Your meta description is 146 characters: “From Ashland to the Swift Creek Reservoir, we build exceptional homes in excellent locations all over the Richmond area…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Find Your Home”.

  • Title: 50 characters

    Your title is a healthy 50 characters: “New Home Builder in Richmond VA | StyleCraft Homes”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: HomeAndConstructionBusiness, LocalBusiness, Organization 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.stylecrafthomes.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://www.stylecrafthomes.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.

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.

  • Organization data: 6 of 6 facts

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

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (754 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

100
  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 22 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

7 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.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 15 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

  • 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

3 to fixGoogle 7385
  • 7 small tap targets

    7 of 18 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 1 third-party cookie

    1 third-party cookie is set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • 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”.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix79
  • 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.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 7 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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.

  • About 503 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 503 words of visible text.

5 checks passed
  • 3 calls to action

    The homepage has 3 calls to action, for example “LEARN MORE”, “Learn More” and “Call (804) 523-4663”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 5 phone links and 1 email link.

  • Phone number on the homepage

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

  • LocalBusiness structured data

    Your homepage describes the business with LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants can read its address, hours and phone reliably.

Privacy and tracking

  • 7 trackers load before any consent

    7

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and HubSpot and 2 mores (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (HubSpot cookie banner) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 17 cookies set on arrival

    17

    Opening the homepage sets 17 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 38 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 38 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: HubSpot cookie banner

    A consent management tool (HubSpot cookie banner) loads with the page.

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 stylecrafthomes.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
