Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
3.9 s · 671 KiBAbout 671 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.
Render-blocking requests
1.3 s8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.3 s.
Mobile performance score: 45
45/100Your mobile performance score is 45. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Squarespace, Google Tag Manager and JSDelivr CDN and others), adding 2.9 MB and 887 ms of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
900 ms · 187 KiB16 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (187 KiB).
Improve image delivery
738 KiB3 images could be 738 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Squarespace adds 536 ms
536 msSquarespace costs a phone 536 ms of main-thread work and 1.0 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.
Legacy JavaScript
300 ms · 63 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 63 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Minify JavaScript
300 ms · 49 KiB49 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
8 long tasks on the main thread
8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 250 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Main-thread work: 2.4 s
A phone's processor spends 2.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 966 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
squarespace-cdn.com adds 0 ms
0 mssquarespace-cdn.com costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 1.0 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.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 69 KiBAbout 69 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.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
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
Largest Contentful Paint: 15.0 s
15.0 sYour largest element takes 15.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “office_building.jpg”.
Time to Interactive: 15.2 s
15.2 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 15.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.254
0.254The layout shifts by 0.254 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
Speed Index: 5.8 s
5.8 sVisually, the page fills in at 5.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Total Blocking Time: 439 ms
439 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 439 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
First Contentful Paint: 2.0 s
2.0 sThe first text or image appears after 2.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 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.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.0 MB in 91 requests
3.0 MBYour homepage downloads 3.0 MB in 91 requests on a phone: scripts 1.5 MB (52), images 1.1 MB (6) and fonts 204 KiB (12). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image in older formats
1 image (390 KiB) is 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.
About 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit
0.86 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.86 g of CO₂e: 102.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
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
46 text elements with low contrast
46 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (36 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 36 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.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
1 link without text
1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 3 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
38 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 42 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 38 passed and 4 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (104 characters)
Your title is 104 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “The Trevi Group - Network Engineer Cloud Engineer Security Engineer Recruiter Headhunter …”.
4 H1 headlines
There are 4 <h1> headlines (“The Trevi Group”, “The Trevi Group” and “Executive Search for IT Leadership & Senior IT Pr…”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Meta description is long (385 characters)
Your meta description is 385 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
Structured data has 2 problems
Structured data found (LocalBusiness, Organization and WebSite) but with 2 problems, for example “Organization: missing name”.
44 internal links, 21 external
The homepage links to 44 pages on thetrevigroup.com and 21 external pages.
4 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.thetrevigroup.com/.
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.thetrevigroup.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
Organization data is thin (2 of 6 facts)
Your Organization JSON-LD is missing name, url, logo and description. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.
No llms.txt
There is no https://www.thetrevigroup.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.
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 (477 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
2 pages share a title
https://www.thetrevigroup.com/our-team and https://www.thetrevigroup.com/contact all use the title “The Trevi Group - Executive Search for IT Leadership & Senior IT Prof…”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
4 pages without a meta description
https://www.thetrevigroup.com/services-for-companies, https://www.thetrevigroup.com/contact, https://www.thetrevigroup.com/impact-players and https://www.thetrevigroup.com/privacy-policy have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

Content and conversion
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.
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 phone number on the homepage
A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.
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 276 words of copy

Privacy and tracking
3 trackers load before any consent
3Before 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.
5 cookies set on arrival
5Opening the homepage sets 5 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
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.
14 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 14 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
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 thetrevigroup.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
