surgestaffing.com website review

52 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (20.8 MB).

11 images could be 8.8 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 18.9 s faster on a phone.

About 819 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 5.0 s faster on a phone.

6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.8 s.

About 259 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.4 s faster on a phone.

Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 1.1 s).

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Google Tag Manager and userway.org and others), adding 2.0 MB and 917 ms of main-thread time.

Your mobile performance score is 60. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

Google CDN costs a phone 426 ms of main-thread work and 1.1 MB 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.

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 328 ms of main-thread work and 519 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.

A phone's processor spends 2.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

Polyfills for old browsers add 11 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.

11 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 155 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

8 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

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.

Your largest element takes 39.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.

The page becomes fully interactive after 41.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

The first text or image appears after 3.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Real visitors wait 3.2 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.4 s to 1.6 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Real visitors wait 947 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

Visually, the page fills in at 5.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 272 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

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

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 123 ms to 131 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 23.2 MB in 93 requests on a phone: images 11.4 MB (39), media 8.0 MB (2) and scripts 1.7 MB (21). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

7 images weigh 8.5 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example forbes-award.webp at 4,500 px wide, shown at 165 px. Resized copies would save about 1.6 MB.

16 images (9.5 MB) 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.

8 images further down the page (5.4 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 6.57 g of CO₂e: 788.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.

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

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 20 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

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

4 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

2 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

Headings skip levels (h1 → h3 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).

Your title is 66 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “SURGE Staffing | National Leader in Staffing & Workforce Solutions”.

No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.

Your meta description is 171 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

The homepage links to 57 pages on surgestaffing.com and 14 external pages.

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.

There is no https://surgestaffing.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.

https://surgestaffing.com/flexibleStaffing, https://surgestaffing.com/fullTimeStaffing and https://surgestaffing.com/directhire all use the title “Full-Time Staffing | SURGE”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

https://surgestaffing.com/jobsearch, https://surgestaffing.com/how-to-apply, https://surgestaffing.com/benefits.php, https://surgestaffing.com/referralBonus, https://surgestaffing.com/faqs and https://surgestaffing.com/place-staffing-order and 4 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

https://surgestaffing.com/jobsearch and https://surgestaffing.com/faqs have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 29 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

3 of 8 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()”.

1 image is served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.

On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

Social proof on the homepage: 1 trust badge. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

The homepage carries about 283 words of visible text.

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.

Opening the homepage sets 8 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

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.

Loading the homepage contacts 14 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
