Speed
Wix adds 62 ms
62 msWix costs a phone 62 ms of main-thread work and 677 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.
3 third-party services on the page
3 third-party services load with your homepage (Wix, archive.org and Hotjar), adding 818 KiB and 95 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
152 KiBAbout 152 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
132 KiB3 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (132 KiB).
1 long task on the main thread
1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 55 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
15 KiBAbout 15 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Improve image delivery
7 KiB1 image could be 7 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
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.

Core Web Vitals
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.

Images and page weight
About 0.3 g of CO₂ per visit
0.28 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.28 g of CO₂e: 33.7 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: 1,016 KiB in 100 requests
1,016 KiBYour homepage downloads 1,016 KiB in 100 requests on a phone: fonts 425 KiB (14), scripts 315 KiB (48) and HTML 189 KiB (2). That is a lean page.
Accessibility
4 text elements with low contrast
4 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Headings should not be empty (1 element)
Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 22 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 44 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 41 passed and 3 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (70 characters)
Your title is 70 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “The Scribesmith | Launch Copy for Personality-Driven Online Businesses”.
5 H1 headlines
There are 5 <h1> headlines (“Copywriting & Messaging Strategy for SaaS Compani…”, “COMING SOON” and “What People Say”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
1 link with vague text
1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.
16 internal links, 14 external
The homepage links to 16 pages on thescribesmith.com and 14 external pages.
6 checks passed
Meta description: 103 characters
Your meta description is 103 characters: “The Scribesmith specializes in conversion-focused copywriting & content for B2B SaaS & online educators”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://thescribesmith.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: 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://thescribesmith.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
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.
2 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.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (786 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 linked page hidden from search
https://thescribesmith.com/values is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.
2 pages share a title
https://thescribesmith.com/launch-copywriter and https://thescribesmith.com/copywriting-for-launches all use the title “Scribesmith | Launch Copywriter | The End of Blah”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
2 pages share a meta description
https://thescribesmith.com/launch-copywriter and https://thescribesmith.com/copywriting-for-launches use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
4 pages without an H1
https://thescribesmith.com/launch-copywriter, https://thescribesmith.com/copywriting-for-launches, https://thescribesmith.com/blog and https://thescribesmith.com/values have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

Content and conversion
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 1 testimonial or review block. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
Phone number is not tap-to-call
Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.
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.
About 771 words of copy
The homepage carries about 771 words of visible text.
3 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “SHOP” and “BOOK A CALL”.
7 calls to action
The homepage has 7 calls to action, for example “SHOP”, “BOOK A CALL” and “JOIN THE WAITLIST NOW”.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Hotjar.
Privacy and tracking

6 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 6 hosts 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 thescribesmith.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
