Speed
Render-blocking requests
900 ms10 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 900 ms.
Font display
850 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 850 ms).
Improve image delivery
250 ms · 46 KiB1 image could be 46 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 250 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
160 ms · 72 KiBAbout 72 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 160 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
76 KiB1 file is served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (76 KiB).
3 third-party services on the page
3 third-party services load with your homepage (WordPress, WordPress Site Stats and Google Fonts), adding 187 KiB and 26 ms of main-thread time.
Minify CSS
9 KiB9 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
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.

Mobile performance score: 91
91/100Your mobile performance score is 91. That is in Google's “good” band (90 and up).
Main-thread work: 0.2 s
A phone's processor spends 0.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 39 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Core Web Vitals
First Contentful Paint: 2.3 s
2.3 sThe first text or image appears after 2.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 2.9 s
2.9 sYour largest element takes 2.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Speed Index: 3.9 s
3.9 sVisually, the page fills in at 3.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
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
Time to Interactive: 2.9 s
2.9 sThe page is fully interactive after 2.9 s.
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
About 0.09 g of CO₂ per visit
0.09 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.09 g of CO₂e: 11.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
4 checks passed
Page weight: 340 KiB in 24 requests
340 KiBYour homepage downloads 340 KiB in 24 requests on a phone: fonts 112 KiB (3), stylesheets 102 KiB (8) and images 74 KiB (7). That is a lean page.
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
1 text element with low contrast
1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
5 links without text
5 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 6 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
45 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 47 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 2 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at https://whitneyblankenship.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
No robots.txt
There is no robots.txt at whitneyblankenship.com/robots.txt, the first file search crawlers ask for.
No favicon declared
No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.
30 internal links, 10 external
The homepage links to 30 pages on whitneyblankenship.com and 10 external pages.
6 checks passed
Meta description: 115 characters

Open Graph tags complete
Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.
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://whitneyblankenship.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 (374 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 linked page is broken
Your homepage links to https://whitneyblankenship.com/[email protected], which answers with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop it.
1 internal page checked
We fetched 1 page linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.
Best practices
5 small tap targets
5 of 13 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

Content and conversion

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.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 6 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
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 349 words of copy
The homepage carries about 349 words of visible text.
2 checks passed

Direct contact links
