Speed

13 to fix47
  • Render-blocking requests

    8.1 s

    21 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 8.1 s.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    6.4 s · 1.1 MB

    About 1.1 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 6.4 s faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    1.3 s · 614 KiB

    11 images could be 614 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.3 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.1 s · 249 KiB

    11 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (249 KiB).

  • Mobile performance score: 47

    47/100

    Your mobile performance score is 47. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Squarespace, Google Tag Manager and Facebook and others), adding 4.0 MB and 939 ms of main-thread time.

  • Squarespace adds 427 ms

    427 ms

    Squarespace costs a phone 427 ms of main-thread work and 1.0 MB 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.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    450 ms · 76 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 76 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    300 ms · 78 KiB

    About 78 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.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 292 ms

    292 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 292 ms of main-thread work and 565 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.

  • Main-thread work: 2.1 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • squarespace-cdn.com adds 0 ms

    0 ms

    squarespace-cdn.com costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 1.5 MB 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.

  • Adobe TypeKit adds 7 ms

    7 ms

    Adobe TypeKit costs a phone 7 ms of main-thread work and 496 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.

  • 7 long tasks on the main thread

    7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 194 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    100 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 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 checks passed
  • Server response: 27 ms

    27 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 27 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix56
  • First Contentful Paint: 8.0 s

    8.0 s

    The first text or image appears after 8.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 20.7 s

    20.7 s

    Your largest element takes 20.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “We get it, because we’re business owners too. You need a ma…”.

  • Time to Interactive: 20.8 s

    20.8 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 20.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 8.9 s

    8.9 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 8.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 402 ms

    402 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 402 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 1 image without width and height

    1 image 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.

1 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.006

    0.006

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.006, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 4.1 MB in 92 requests

    4.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.1 MB in 92 requests on a phone: scripts 2.0 MB (35), images 1.4 MB (21) and fonts 594 KiB (20). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 4 images below the first screen load straight away

    4 images further down the page (81 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.16 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.16 g of CO₂e: 138.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images are sized for phones

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

Accessibility

5 to fixGoogle 8692
  • 20 text elements with low contrast

    20 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • 3 images without alt text

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

  • 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.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails 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.

1 checks passed
  • 37 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 42 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 37 passed and 5 failed. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 8579
  • No meta description

    No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • Title is short (5 characters)

    Your title is only 5 characters: “Vydeo”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • Structured data has 1 problem

    Structured data found (WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “WebSite: image is not an absolute URL ("//images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b1e3dc7cc8fed45947…”.

  • Open Graph partly set

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

  • 33 internal links, 0 external

    The homepage links to 33 pages on vydeomedia.com and 0 external pages.

4 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Ready to attract more customers?”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.vydeomedia.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.vydeomedia.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 https://www.vydeomedia.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.

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

Other pages

4 to fix53
  • 1 linked page is broken

    Your homepage links to https://www.vydeomedia.com/whatvydeocandoforyou, which answers with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop it.

  • 1 page points its canonical at the homepage

    https://www.vydeomedia.com/home declares the homepage as its canonical URL, which tells Google it is a copy of the homepage and keeps it out of search results. A site-wide template setting usually causes this.

  • 2 pages share a title

    / and https://www.vydeomedia.com/home all use the title “Vydeo”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 5 pages without a meta description

    https://www.vydeomedia.com/services, https://www.vydeomedia.com/ourwork, https://www.vydeomedia.com/reviews, https://www.vydeomedia.com/contact and https://www.vydeomedia.com/home have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 2 pages with very little text

    https://www.vydeomedia.com/ourwork and https://www.vydeomedia.com/contact have 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.

  • 6 internal pages checked

    We fetched 6 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

3 checks passed
  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 5 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 10093
  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://static1.squarespace.com/static/sitecss/5b1e3dc7cc8fed459470e6b4/253/55f0aac0e4b0f0…”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    14 of 14 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

1 to fix92
  • Only about 181 words

    The homepage has only about 181 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • Phone number is not tap-to-call

    Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.

  • 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.

5 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

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

  • 6 calls to action

    The homepage has 6 calls to action, for example “Contact”, “Book my free consultation” and “Join our family of happy clients!”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 1 testimonial or review block, 6 customer or partner logos and 1 trust badge.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and Meta Pixel.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 4 trackers load before any consent

    4

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Meta Pixel (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.

  • 7 cookies set on arrival

    7

    Opening the homepage sets 7 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.

  • 15 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 15 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 vydeomedia.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
