Speed

4 to fix94
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.7 s

    4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.7 s.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    500 ms · 695 KiB

    14 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (695 KiB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    392 KiB

    About 392 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • 2 long tasks on the main thread

    2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 264 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 4 third-party services on the page

    4 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and Unpkg and others), adding 188 KiB and 165 ms of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    18 KiB

    About 18 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • 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.

3 checks passed
  • Mobile performance score: 94

    94/100

    Your mobile performance score is 94. That is in Google's “good” band (90 and up).

  • Main-thread work: 1.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 510 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 1 ms

    1 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 1 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix95
  • Time to Interactive: 6.6 s

    6.6 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 6.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 227 ms

    227 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 227 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Speed Index: 3.4 s

    3.4 s

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

  • 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.

3 checks passed
  • 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.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 1.8 s

    1.8 s

    Your largest element renders in 1.8 s on a phone, inside Google's 2.5 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.001

    0.001

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.001, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 8.2 MB in 23 requests

    8.2 MB

    Your homepage downloads 8.2 MB in 23 requests on a phone: media 7.2 MB (1), scripts 722 KiB (10) and fonts 101 KiB (3). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 2.3 g of CO₂ per visit

    2.32 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.32 g of CO₂e: 278.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • 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

2 to fixGoogle 9496
  • 1 tap target too small

    1 tap target is too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (27 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 27 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • No main landmark

    The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 22 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 34 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 36 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 34 passed and 2 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 10086
  • 6 H1 headlines

    There are 6 <h1> headlines (“The creative agency that knows →”, “How we think →” and “01 It starts with a single-minded strategy: find …”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • Meta description is long (200 characters)

    Your meta description is 200 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • No robots.txt

    There is no robots.txt at weareimpero.com/robots.txt, the first file search crawlers ask for.

  • 21 internal links, 10 external

    The homepage links to 21 pages on weareimpero.com and 10 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Title: 49 characters

    Your title is a healthy 49 characters: “Impero - The Creative Agency for Impatient Brands”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, WebPage and WebSite.

  • Open Graph tags complete

    Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.weareimpero.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.weareimpero.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

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

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 1 page without a meta description

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

  • 1 page without an H1

    https://www.weareimpero.com/works has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 1 page with very little text

    https://www.weareimpero.com/jobs 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.

  • 6 internal pages checked

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

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 6 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 6 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 10087
  • 9 small tap targets

    9 of 14 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix83
  • 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: 3 trust badges. 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.

  • 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 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 417 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 417 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “contact” and “SUBSCRIBE”.

  • 6 calls to action

    The homepage has 6 calls to action, for example “Contact”, “Subscribe” and “Contact us”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 2 trackers load before any consent

    2

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

  • 4 cookies set on arrival

    4

    Opening the homepage sets 4 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.

  • 4 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 4 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 weareimpero.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
