Speed

12 to fix57
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    3.0 s · 459 KiB

    About 459 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.0 s faster on a phone.

  • FontAwesome CDN adds 1.6 s

    1.6 s

    FontAwesome CDN costs a phone 1.6 s of main-thread work and 114 KiB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.3 s · 231 KiB

    7 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (231 KiB).

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.1 s

    13 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.

  • Main-thread work: 5.0 s

    A phone's processor spends 5.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (FontAwesome CDN, rocketcdn.me and ZenDesk and others), adding 1.9 MB and 2.8 s of main-thread time.

  • Mobile performance score: 57

    57/100

    Your mobile performance score is 57. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • rocketcdn.me adds 483 ms

    483 ms

    rocketcdn.me costs a phone 483 ms of main-thread work and 675 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

    450 ms · 99 KiB

    2 images could be 99 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    240 ms · 266 KiB

    About 266 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 240 ms faster on a phone.

  • ZenDesk adds 182 ms

    182 ms

    ZenDesk costs a phone 182 ms of main-thread work and 431 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.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 144 ms

    144 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 144 ms of main-thread work and 378 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.

  • 11 long tasks on the main thread

    11 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 124 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    11 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 11 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • 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.

  • Forced reflow

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

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 21 ms

    21 ms

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

Core Web Vitals

7 to fix100
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 16.6 s

    16.6 s

    Your largest element takes 16.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “ AI SEARCH IS ALREADY CHANGING EVERYTHING Your Next Custom…”.

  • Time to Interactive: 16.6 s

    16.6 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 16.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 7.5 s

    7.5 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 7.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 3.2 s

    3.2 s

    The first text or image appears after 3.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 923 ms

    923 ms

    Real visitors wait 923 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Total Blocking Time: 272 ms

    272 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 272 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) got 11% slower for real visitors

    +11%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 96 ms to 106 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

6 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 1.8 s

    1.8 s

    Real visitors wait 1.8 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 108 ms

    108 ms

    Real visitors wait 108 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.01

    0.01

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.01 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.6 s

    1.6 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.6 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 66% faster for real visitors

    -66%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 6.0 s to 2.1 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 2.7 MB in 91 requests

    2.7 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.7 MB in 91 requests on a phone: scripts 1.4 MB (45), images 695 KiB (9) and fonts 473 KiB (8). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (58 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 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.77 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.77 g of CO₂e: 92.4 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

8 to fixGoogle 8889
  • 5 tap targets too small

    5 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • 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.

  • 9 images without alt text

    9 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (30 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 30 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Document should not have more than one banner landmark (1 element)

    Document should not have more than one banner landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 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.

  • Zoom is disabled

    The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

  • 4 links without text

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

1 checks passed
  • 42 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 42 passed and 6 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 9290
  • Title is long (99 characters)

    Your title is 99 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Business Management Software | Digital Marketing, Web Design & SEO Company | Townsquare I…”.

  • 5 links with vague text

    5 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

  • 82 internal links, 3 external

    The homepage links to 82 pages on townsquareinteractive.com and 3 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 142 characters

    Your meta description is 142 characters: “Start growing and running your business from your poc with our business management platform. Top-rated SEO, web design,…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “AI Search is Already Changing Everything”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, Organization, Person, WebPage and 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://www.townsquareinteractive.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
4 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.

  • Organization data: 5 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, description and contact details; sameAs (social profiles) would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,880 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://www.townsquareinteractive.com/llms.txt (195 KiB, 431 links, though it should open with a “# Title” line), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

100

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 30 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

7 checks passed

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Uncaught ReferenceError: prefersReducedMotion is not defined”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    6 of 7 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix88
  • 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: “23,000+ Businesses”. 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 map or directions link

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

  • About 1,580 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,580 words of visible text.

6 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Request A Demo ”.

  • 8 calls to action

    The homepage has 8 calls to action, for example “Book A Demo”, “Request a Demo ” and “Learn More”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, Hotjar and Matomo.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 2 phone links and 0 email links.

  • Phone number on the homepage

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

  • Risk reducer mentioned

    A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.

Privacy and tracking

  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

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

  • 5 cookies set on arrival

    5

    Opening the homepage sets 5 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: Osano

    A consent management tool (Osano) loads with the page.
