talonabernathy.com website review

About 397 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.9 s faster on a phone.

2 images could be 737 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.5 s faster on a phone.

2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.1 s.

Your mobile performance score is 59. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

4 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Other Google APIs/SDKs and journoportfolio.com and others), adding 1.7 MB and 282 ms of main-thread time.

About 62 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 320 ms faster on a phone.

Google CDN costs a phone 244 ms of main-thread work and 743 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.

journoportfolio.com costs a phone 8 ms of main-thread work and 896 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.

4 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 150 ms).

2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 83 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

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

2 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (3 KiB).

Your largest element takes 11.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

The first text or image appears after 6.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

The page becomes fully interactive after 11.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 6.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

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.

Your homepage downloads 2.1 MB in 17 requests on a phone: images 841 KiB (3), scripts 755 KiB (6) and other files 352 KiB (1). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.59 g of CO₂e: 70.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

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

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

There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

Your title is only 27 characters: “Home page - Talon Abernathy”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

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

Your meta description is only 42 characters: “Home page for Talon Abernathy's portfolio.”. 70 to 160 characters is enough to sell the click.

No XML sitemap at https://www.talonabernathy.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

The homepage links to 19 pages on talonabernathy.com and 4 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.

robots.txt blocks GPTBot, which collect pages to train models. That's a legitimate choice and doesn't by itself stop the site appearing in AI answers, which the crawlers above handle.

Your homepage links to https://www.talonabernathy.com/health-life-insurance, https://www.talonabernathy.com/travel and https://www.talonabernathy.com/media-appearances, which answer with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop them.

1 error was logged to the browser console during Google's test (“requestStorageAccess: Permission denied.”).

We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.

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

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

The homepage has only about 179 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.
