Speed

3 to fix94
  • Font display

    1.1 s

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 1.1 s).

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.1 s

    5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.

  • Improve image delivery

    800 ms · 114 KiB

    1 image could be 114 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 800 ms faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    27 KiB

    6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (27 KiB).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    19 KiB

    About 19 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.

  • 1 third-party service on the page

    1 third-party service load with your homepage (bunny.net), adding 25 KiB and 0 ms of main-thread time.

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: 0.1 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 4 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

3 to fix94
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.113

    0.113

    The layout shifts by 0.113 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • Speed Index: 3.5 s

    3.5 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 3.5 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.

4 checks passed
  • First Contentful Paint: 1.5 s

    1.5 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.5 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 2.2 s

    2.2 s

    Your largest element renders in 2.2 s on a phone, inside Google's 2.5 s “good” threshold. The largest element is the image “Mad Designer at work”.

  • Time to Interactive: 2.2 s

    2.2 s

    The page is fully interactive after 2.2 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 0 ms

    0 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

1 to fix90
  • 1 image far larger than shown

    23 KiB

    1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example mad-designer.png at 1,200 px wide, shown at 370 px. Resized copies would save about 23 KiB.

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (159 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 0.08 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.08 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.08 g of CO₂e: 9.7 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: 292 KiB in 9 requests

    292 KiB

    Your homepage downloads 292 KiB in 9 requests on a phone: images 159 KiB (1), fonts 98 KiB (2) and stylesheets 33 KiB (5). That is a lean page.

  • Images load when needed

    Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.

Accessibility

3 to fixGoogle 8893
  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 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.

  • 1 link without text

    1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 1 image in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 16 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 19 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 16 passed and 3 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

7 to fixGoogle 9266
  • No meta description

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

  • Title is long (77 characters)

    Your title is 77 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Web Design Trends, Tutorials & SEO Updates | WebChanges is under construction”.

  • 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://webchanges.net/wp-sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

  • Only 1 internal link

    The homepage links to only 1 page on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

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

2 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Sorry, we're doing some work on the site”.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.

AI search readiness

1 to fix83
  • 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://webchanges.net/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.

1 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.

Best practices

Google 100100
2 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

6 to fix25
  • No call to action on the first screen

    On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

  • 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 social proof

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

  • No analytics detected

    No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

  • 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.

  • Only about 26 words

    The homepage has only about 26 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • 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.

Privacy and tracking

  • 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.

  • 1 other company contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 1 host run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • No known trackers before consent

    No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).

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