Speed

4 to fix65
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.7 s · 313 KiB

    About 313 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.7 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.8 s

    2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.8 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 65

    65/100

    Your mobile performance score is 65 (desktop: 93). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Google CDN adds 106 ms

    106 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 106 ms of main-thread work and 347 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.

  • 5 third-party services on the page

    5 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Google Tag Manager and Other Google APIs/SDKs and others), adding 750 KiB and 198 ms of main-thread time.

  • 3 long tasks on the main thread

    3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 127 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).

  • Improve image delivery

    50 KiB

    1 image could be 50 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    28 KiB

    About 28 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Phones get a much slower page than desktops

    Desktop scores 93 but mobile only 65. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

  • 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.

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    5 KiB

    5 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 0.6 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 292 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 11 ms

    11 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 11 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix68
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 7.3 s

    7.3 s

    Your largest element takes 7.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • First Contentful Paint: 4.4 s

    4.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 4.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 7.3 s

    7.3 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 7.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 4.4 s

    4.4 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 4.4 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.

2 checks passed
  • Total Blocking Time: 74 ms

    74 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 74 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

100
  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (108 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 0.3 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.29 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.29 g of CO₂e: 34.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • Page weight: 1.0 MB in 33 requests

    1.0 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.0 MB in 33 requests on a phone: scripts 624 KiB (10), fonts 237 KiB (4) and images 108 KiB (1). That is a lean page.

  • 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

3 to fixGoogle 9195
  • 2 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 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.

  • 1 link without text

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

1 checks passed
  • 36 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 39 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 36 passed and 3 failed. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

7 to fixGoogle 8372
  • Title is short (28 characters)

    Your title is only 28 characters: “Home | Wise Publishing, Inc.”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • 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, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • No XML sitemap

    No XML sitemap at https://wisepublishing.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

  • No robots.txt

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

  • 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.

  • 17 internal links, 3 external

    The homepage links to 17 pages on wisepublishing.com and 3 external pages.

2 checks passed
  • Meta description: 125 characters

    Your meta description is 125 characters: “Wise Publishing proudly operates MoneyWise.com. A digital personal finance publication with 7 million monthly unique re…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Wise Publishing proudly operates Moneywise.com & Money.ca.”.

AI search readiness

1 to fix81
  • 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://wisepublishing.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.

1 checks passed
  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (223 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 3 pages share a title

    /, https://wisepublishing.com/news and https://wisepublishing.com/work-with-us all use the title “Home | Wise Publishing, Inc.”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 9 pages share a meta description

    https://wisepublishing.com/contact, https://wisepublishing.com/about, https://wisepublishing.com/careers, https://wisepublishing.com/advertise, https://wisepublishing.com/news and https://wisepublishing.com/work-with-us and 3 others use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 2 pages with very little text

    https://wisepublishing.com/contact and https://wisepublishing.com/advertise 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.

  • 9 internal pages checked

    We fetched 9 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 9 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

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

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 9 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • 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 9 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 10093
  • 9 small tap targets

    9 of 10 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

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

3 to fix67
  • 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 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 223 words

    The homepage has only about 223 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.

3 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

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

  • 5 calls to action

    The homepage has 5 calls to action, for example “Contact”, “Contact Us” and “Learn More”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics.

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.

  • 2 cookies set on arrival

    2

    Opening the homepage sets 2 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.

  • 6 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 6 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 wisepublishing.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
