Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
3.0 s · 459 KiBAbout 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 sFontAwesome 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 KiB7 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (231 KiB).
Render-blocking requests
1.1 s13 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
57/100Your mobile performance score is 57. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
rocketcdn.me adds 483 ms
483 msrocketcdn.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 KiB2 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 KiBAbout 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 msZenDesk 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 msGoogle 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 KiBPolyfills 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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.7 MB in 91 requests
2.7 MBYour 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 gBy 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
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
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

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.

Content and conversion
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 ”.

5 cookies set on arrival
5Opening 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.
