Speed

1 to fix96
  • nitrocdn.com adds 21 ms

    21 ms

    nitrocdn.com costs a phone 21 ms of main-thread work and 670 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.

  • Improve image delivery

    150 ms · 24 KiB

    1 image could be 24 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    161 KiB

    About 161 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • 1 third-party service on the page

    1 third-party service load with your homepage (nitrocdn.com), adding 670 KiB and 21 ms of main-thread time.

  • 1 long task on the main thread

    1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 52 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 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.

  • Mobile performance score: 96

    96/100

    Your mobile performance score is 96. That is in Google's “good” band (90 and up).

  • Main-thread work: 0.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 49 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 17 ms

    17 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 17 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

2 to fix95
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.102

    0.102

    The layout shifts by 0.102 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • 1 image without width and height

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

  • 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.

5 checks passed
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 2.1 s

    2.1 s

    Your largest element renders in 2.1 s on a phone, inside Google's 2.5 s “good” threshold. The largest element is the image “Manager reviews freight audit report”.

  • Time to Interactive: 2.1 s

    2.1 s

    The page is fully interactive after 2.1 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 0.9 s

    0.9 s

    The first text or image appears after 0.9 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Speed Index: 0.9 s

    0.9 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 0.9 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.

  • Total Blocking Time: 2 ms

    2 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 2 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

100
  • About 0.4 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.37 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.37 g of CO₂e: 44.1 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: 1.3 MB in 27 requests

    1.3 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.3 MB in 27 requests on a phone: other files 616 KiB (17), fonts 443 KiB (5) and stylesheets 164 KiB (2). 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

2 to fixGoogle 8996
  • 18 text elements with low contrast

    18 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • 2 links without text

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

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h3 and h1 → 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.

  • 39 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: 39 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

2 to fixGoogle 10091
  • 2 H1 headlines

    There are 2 <h1> headlines (“Stop Paying for Invoice Mistakes You Didn’t Make” and “The Numbers Speak for Themselves”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • Structured data has 1 problem

    Structured data found (BreadcrumbList, ImageObject, ItemList and Service) but with 1 problem, for example “Service: no offers (price) block”.

  • 35 internal links, 6 external

    The homepage links to 35 pages on ticominc.com and 6 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 159 characters

    Your meta description is 159 characters: “Freight audit services that find billing errors and overcharges costing you thousands weekly. Recover 5-7% of freight s…”.

  • Title: 41 characters

    Your title is a healthy 41 characters: “Freight Audit Services | TI Freight Audit”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://tifreightaudit.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://tifreightaudit.com/sitemap_index.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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.

3 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 (537 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (1 KiB, 9 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

3 to fix80
  • 1 linked page hidden from search

    /resources/category/blog is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

  • 2 pages share a title

    / and /services all use the title “Freight Audit Services | TI Freight Audit”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 1 page without a meta description

    /resources/category/blog has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 18 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

4 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

  • Mobile viewport set

Content and conversion

2 to fix86
  • Local business without LocalBusiness data

    Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 1 trust badge. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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 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 498 words of copy

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.

Privacy and tracking

  • 2 cookies set on arrival

    2

    Opening the homepage sets 2 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.

  • 2 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 2 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

Security, domain, email and software versions
