Speed

3 to fix70
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.7 s

    26 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.7 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 70

    70/100

    Your mobile performance score is 70 (desktop: 88). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    700 ms · 247 KiB

    10 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (247 KiB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    21 KiB

    About 21 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    13 KiB

    About 13 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.

  • Forced reflow

    Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

  • 1 third-party service on the page

    1 third-party service load with your homepage (Google Fonts), adding 5 KiB and 0 ms of main-thread time.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 0.9 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 329 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 31 ms

    31 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 31 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix77
  • Speed Index: 14.8 s

    14.8 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 14.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 4.8 s

    4.8 s

    Your largest element takes 4.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “REAL EXPERIENCE. REAL SERVICE. YOUR REAL ESTATE TRANSACTION…”. Most of its time is resource load delay (8.0 s).

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.4 s

    2.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 4.8 s

    4.8 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 4.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • 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
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

  • Total Blocking Time: 0 ms

    0 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

100
  • About 0.1 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.15 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.15 g of CO₂e: 17.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

4 checks passed
  • Page weight: 538 KiB in 59 requests

    538 KiB

    Your homepage downloads 538 KiB in 59 requests on a phone: images 276 KiB (11), scripts 177 KiB (22) and stylesheets 56 KiB (25). That is a lean page.

  • 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

5 to fixGoogle 8091
  • Invalid ARIA attributes

    1 element use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.

  • 2 tap targets too small

    2 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • 1 text element with low contrast

    1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (3 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 5 links without text

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

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h6 and h2 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 9 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 41 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 47 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 41 passed and 6 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 9279
  • No meta description

    No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • No structured data

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

  • No social preview image

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

  • No robots.txt

    There is no robots.txt at suttonalliance.com/robots.txt, the first file search crawlers ask for.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

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

  • 60 internal links, 0 external

    The homepage links to 60 pages on suttonalliance.com and 0 external pages.

4 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “REAL EXPERIENCE.REAL SERVICE.”.

  • Title: 57 characters

    Your title is a healthy 57 characters: “Sutton Alliance – The Real Estate Transaction Specialists”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://suttonalliance.com/.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://suttonalliance.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix83
  • 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://suttonalliance.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.

1 checks passed
  • AI answer engines may read the site

    There is no robots.txt, so nothing stops the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity from reading the site and cite it in answers.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 9 pages without a meta description

    https://suttonalliance.com/stx, https://suttonalliance.com/kr, https://suttonalliance.com/mission, https://suttonalliance.com/state-licenses-3, https://suttonalliance.com/executive-bios and https://suttonalliance.com/contact and 3 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 7 pages without an H1

    https://suttonalliance.com/mission, https://suttonalliance.com/state-licenses-3, https://suttonalliance.com/executive-bios, https://suttonalliance.com/contact, https://suttonalliance.com/about and https://suttonalliance.com/privacy-policy and 1 other have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 5 pages slow to respond

    https://suttonalliance.com/stx, https://suttonalliance.com/kr, https://suttonalliance.com/mission, https://suttonalliance.com/state-licenses-3 and https://suttonalliance.com/executive-bios took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

  • 11 internal pages checked

    We fetched 11 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    9 pages of 11 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).

  • 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 9 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9697
  • 1 distorted image

    1 image is displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so it looks stretched or squashed.

3 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    10 of 11 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

4 to fix58
  • No social proof

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

  • No analytics detected

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

  • No direct contact details

    No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

  • Only about 103 words

    The homepage has only about 103 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • No form on the homepage

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

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Learn More About Our Services”.

  • 8 calls to action

    The homepage has 8 calls to action, for example “Contact Us”, “Contact” and “Learn More About Our Services”.

Privacy and tracking

  • 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.

  • 1 other company contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 1 host run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • No known trackers before consent

    No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).

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