Speed

4 to fix80
  • Mobile performance score: 80

    80/100

    Your mobile performance score is 80. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    870 ms · 100 KiB

    About 100 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 870 ms faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    650 ms

    2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 650 ms.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    300 ms · 11 KiB

    About 11 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    219 KiB

    3 images could be 219 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • 5 third-party services on the page

    5 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Cloudflare and Scorecard Research and others), adding 188 KiB and 108 ms of main-thread time.

  • 1 long task on the main thread

    1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 85 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    79 KiB

    28 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (79 KiB).

  • Legacy JavaScript

    10 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 10 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 0.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 130 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 4 ms

    4 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 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: 5.1 s

    5.1 s

    Your largest element takes 5.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Content. Inspired by You.”. Most of its time is element render delay (2.8 s).

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.0 s

    1.0 s

    Real visitors wait 1.0 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Time to Interactive: 5.2 s

    5.2 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 5.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • 1 image without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +3%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 88 ms to 92 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    +3%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.5 s to 1.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

8 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 2.3 s

    2.3 s

    Real visitors wait 2.3 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 81 ms

    81 ms

    Real visitors wait 81 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.4 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.7 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Speed Index: 3.1 s

    3.1 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 3.1 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).

  • Total Blocking Time: 35 ms

    35 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 35 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

1 to fix90
  • 7 images in older formats

    7 images (607 KiB) 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.

  • 3 images below the first screen load straight away

    3 images further down the page (286 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 0.3 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.26 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.26 g of CO₂e: 30.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • Page weight: 929 KiB in 39 requests

    929 KiB

    Your homepage downloads 929 KiB in 39 requests on a phone: images 662 KiB (21), scripts 190 KiB (9) and fonts 37 KiB (1). That is a lean page.

  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

3 to fixGoogle 8593
  • Documents must have <title> element to aid in navigation (1 element)

    Documents must have <title> element to aid in navigation: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (12 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 12 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 2 links without text

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

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 22 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 24 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 27 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 24 passed and 3 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 7778
  • No page title

    Your page has no <title>, so Google has to invent the blue link in search results.

  • No structured data

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

  • 2 links crawlers can't follow

    2 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

  • 1 link with vague text

    1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

  • Open Graph partly set

    Open Graph is missing og:title, so shared links fall back to guesses.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

  • 70 internal links, 12 external

    The homepage links to 70 pages on trustedmediabrands.com and 12 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Meta description: 135 characters

    Your meta description is 135 characters: “We create and curate compelling content, connecting millions of users across the globe. Brands you know and love, stori…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Content. Inspired by You.”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.trustedmediabrands.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.trustedmediabrands.com/wp-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 https://www.trustedmediabrands.com/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.

  • Opted out of AI training for 5 crawlers

    robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended and CCBot, which collect pages to train models. That's a legitimate choice and doesn't by itself stop the site appearing in AI answers, which the crawlers above handle.

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

Other pages

4 to fix65
  • 15 pages without a title

    https://www.trustedmediabrands.com/our-brands, https://www.trustedmediabrands.com/about, https://www.trustedmediabrands.com/careers, https://www.trustedmediabrands.com/contact, https://www.trustedmediabrands.com/our-brands/fail-army and https://www.trustedmediabrands.com/our-brands/the-pet-collective and 9 others have no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.

  • 1 page without a meta description

    https://www.trustedmediabrands.com/contact has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 link to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example https://www.trustedmediabrands.com/contact, whose canonical is https://www.trustedmediabrands.com/contact-us. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 13 pages without an H1

    https://www.trustedmediabrands.com/our-brands, https://www.trustedmediabrands.com/contact, https://www.trustedmediabrands.com/our-brands/fail-army, https://www.trustedmediabrands.com/our-brands/the-pet-collective, https://www.trustedmediabrands.com/our-brands/family-handyman and https://www.trustedmediabrands.com/our-brands/taste-of-home and 7 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 19 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

2 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9687
  • 12 small tap targets

    12 of 20 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix80
  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 22 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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.

  • 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 360 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 360 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Contact Us”.

  • 4 calls to action

    The homepage has 4 calls to action, for example “Contact Us” and “Learn More”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics and Cloudflare Web Analytics.

Privacy and tracking

  • 2 trackers load before any consent

    2

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

  • 7 cookies set on arrival

    7

    Opening the homepage sets 7 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: Ketch

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

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 trustedmediabrands.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
