thewebsitespace.com website review

8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.6 s.

Your mobile performance score is 74. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

20 images could be 479 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

About 45 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Clarity and cdn-cookieyes.com and others), adding 621 KiB and 246 ms of main-thread time.

Polyfills for old browsers add 35 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

7 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 98 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

About 64 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

3 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (12 KiB).

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

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

The page becomes fully interactive after 10.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Your largest element takes 4.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

Visually, the page fills in at 6.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

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

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

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.

10 images (594 KiB) 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.

6 images further down the page (157 KiB) 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 0.47 g of CO₂e: 56.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 15 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.

Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (5 elements).

Structured data found (LocalBusiness, Organization and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “Organization: sameAs is an empty list”.

The homepage links to 33 pages on thewebsitespace.com and 35 external pages.

The HTML your server sends has 668 of the 1,138 words a browser shows. AI crawlers don't run JavaScript, so they miss the rest.

There is no https://thewebsitespace.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://thewebsitespace.com/services/seo, https://thewebsitespace.com/services/google-ads, https://thewebsitespace.com/services/social-media-marketing, https://thewebsitespace.com/portfolio, https://thewebsitespace.com/what-is-the-value-of-social-media-for-businesses-in-2023 and https://thewebsitespace.com/how-web-design-will-change-in-2023 and 1 other took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 26 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

20 of 65 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

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

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

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

There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

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

The homepage carries about 1,138 words of visible text.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Tag Manager and Microsoft Clarity (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (CookieYes) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

Opening the homepage sets 3 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

Loading the homepage contacts 15 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
