Speed

4 to fix98
  • 5 third-party services on the page

    5 third-party services load with your homepage (Framer CDN, Google Tag Manager and Google Fonts and others), adding 517 KiB and 571 ms of main-thread time.

  • Framer CDN adds 301 ms

    301 ms

    Framer CDN costs a phone 301 ms of main-thread work and 317 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.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    292 KiB

    About 292 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 270 ms

    270 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 270 ms of main-thread work and 177 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 long tasks on the main thread

    3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 136 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    16 KiB

    3 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (16 KiB).

  • 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: 98

    98/100

    Your mobile performance score is 98. That is in Google's “good” band (90 and up).

  • Main-thread work: 1.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 583 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 21 ms

    21 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 21 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

1 to fix97
  • Time to Interactive: 4.5 s

    4.5 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 4.5 s. Good is under 3.8 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.

5 checks passed
  • Total Blocking Time: 171 ms

    171 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 171 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Speed Index: 2.1 s

    2.1 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 2.1 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.0 s

    1.0 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.0 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 1.0 s

    1.0 s

    Your largest element renders in 1.0 s on a phone, inside Google's 2.5 s “good” threshold. The largest element is the text “Hey there! I'm Tom and I'm a marketer from Toronto.”.

Images and page weight

100
  • About 0.2 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.15 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.15 g of CO₂e: 18.3 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: 550 KiB in 26 requests

    550 KiB

    Your homepage downloads 550 KiB in 26 requests on a phone: scripts 465 KiB (19), fonts 48 KiB (2) and HTML 36 KiB (2). That is a lean page.

Accessibility

4 to fixGoogle 7988
  • 2 text elements with low contrast

    2 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 (10 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 10 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.

  • 4 links without text

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

1 checks passed
  • 17 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 21 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 17 passed and 4 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

5 to fixGoogle 10079
  • Title is short (16 characters)

    Your title is only 16 characters: “Tom The Marketer”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • No structured data

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

  • Meta description is long (199 characters)

    Your meta description is 199 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • Only 3 internal links

    The homepage links to only 3 pages on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.

4 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Hey there! I'm Tom and I'm a marketer from Toronto.”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.tomthemarketer.com/.

  • 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.tomthemarketer.com/sitemap.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.

  • No llms.txt

    There is no /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 (268 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 10093
  • 2 small tap targets

    2 of 6 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

2 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

5 to fix33
  • 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 calls to action

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

  • 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 direct contact details

    No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

  • Only about 175 words

    The homepage has only about 175 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 2 trackers load before any consent

    2

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads 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.

  • 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.

  • 7 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 7 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 tomthemarketer.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
