Speed
Improve image delivery
13.3 s · 14.9 MB14 images could be 14.9 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 13.3 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 65
65/100Your mobile performance score is 65. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
700 ms2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 700 ms.
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 third-party service on the page
1 third-party service load with your homepage (Google Fonts), adding 54 KiB and 0 ms of main-thread time.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 0.3 s
A phone's processor spends 0.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 16 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 1 ms
1 msYour server sent the HTML in 1 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 17.2 s
17.2 sYour largest element takes 17.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “GROWTH / MARKETING / PRODUCT Growth leadership. Built on ma…”.
Time to Interactive: 17.2 s
17.2 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 17.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 10.2 s
10.2 sVisually, the page fills in at 10.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
10 images without width and height
10 images 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.
3 checks passed
First Contentful Paint: 1.7 s
1.7 sThe first text or image appears after 1.7 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Total Blocking Time: 0 ms
0 msScripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 15.8 MB in 27 requests
15.8 MBYour homepage downloads 15.8 MB in 27 requests on a phone: images 15.7 MB (21), fonts 53 KiB (2) and stylesheets 15 KiB (2). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image over 500 KB
young-living-showcase.png weighs 2.8 MB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
4 images far larger than shown
2.0 MB4 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example young-living-showcase.png at 1,536 px wide, shown at 349 px. Resized copies would save about 2.0 MB.
4 images in older formats
4 images (3.3 MB) 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.
About 4.5 g of CO₂ per visit
4.48 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 4.48 g of CO₂e: 537.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Every image has alt text
All 39 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
33 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 34 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 33 passed and 1 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
No canonical URL
No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
No XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at https://nielsencreative.co/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
No robots.txt
There is no robots.txt at nielsencreative.co/robots.txt, the first file search crawlers ask for.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
22 internal links, 2 external
The homepage links to 22 pages on treynielsen.com and 2 external pages.
3 checks passed
Meta description: 139 characters
Your meta description is 139 characters: “Trey Nielsen is a consumer growth and digital experience executive connecting marketing, product, and AI-enabled teams …”.
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Growth leadership.Built on marketingand product.”.
Title: 61 characters
Your title is a healthy 61 characters: “Trey Nielsen — Consumer Growth & Digital Experience Executive”.
AI search readiness
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 https://nielsencreative.co/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
There is no robots.txt, so nothing stops the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity from reading the site and cite it in answers.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,330 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
10 pages share a meta description
https://nielsencreative.co/about, https://nielsencreative.co/resume, https://nielsencreative.co/contact, https://nielsencreative.co/projects/under-armour, https://nielsencreative.co/projects/realtor and https://nielsencreative.co/projects/valvoline and 4 others use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
1 page with very little text
https://nielsencreative.co/contact has under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

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 analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
No form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
