Improve image delivery
3.1 MB13 images could be 3.1 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Render-blocking requests
750 ms2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 750 ms.
4 third-party services on the page
4 third-party services load with your homepage (cloudfront.net, website-files.com and Google CDN and others), adding 4.5 MB and 54 ms of main-thread time.
website-files.com adds 16 ms
16 mswebsite-files.com costs a phone 16 ms of main-thread work and 4.1 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.
Google Fonts adds 1 ms
1 msGoogle Fonts costs a phone 1 ms of main-thread work and 320 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.
Reduce unused CSS
10 KiBAbout 10 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.

Mobile performance score: 95
95/100Your mobile performance score is 95. 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, 57 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 1 ms
1 msYour server sent the HTML in 1 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Speed Index: 5.4 s
5.4 sVisually, the page fills in at 5.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
7 images without width and height
7 images 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.
5 checks passed
First Contentful Paint: 1.5 s
1.5 sThe first text or image appears after 1.5 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.002
0.002The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.002, good is under 0.1).
Largest Contentful Paint: 1.5 s
1.5 sYour largest element renders in 1.5 s on a phone, inside Google's 2.5 s “good” threshold. The largest element is the text “IT Staffing & Recruiting Solutions”.
Total Blocking Time: 0 ms
0 msScripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Time to Interactive: 1.5 s
1.5 sThe page is fully interactive after 1.5 s.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.5 MB in 32 requests
4.5 MBYour homepage downloads 4.5 MB in 32 requests on a phone: images 4.1 MB (18), fonts 316 KiB (8) and scripts 57 KiB (3). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
2 images in older formats
2 images (131 KiB) are 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.
2 images below the first screen load straight away
2 images further down the page (131 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.3 g of CO₂ per visit
1.27 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.27 g of CO₂e: 152.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
6 text elements with low contrast
6 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
<html> element must have a lang attribute (1 element)
<html> element must have a lang attribute: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (4 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Document should not have more than one banner landmark (1 element)
Document should not have more than one banner landmark: 1 element on the page fails 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.
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.
12 links without text
12 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
3 form fields without a label
3 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
No page language
The <html> element has no lang attribute, so screen readers may read the page in the wrong voice and accent.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 8 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
39 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 46 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 39 passed and 7 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
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: “Xsell”. 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.
5 H1 headlines
There are 5 <h1> headlines (“IT Staffing& Recruiting Solutions”, “IT Staffing& Recruiting Solutions” and “XSell Resources is your complete resource for IT …”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
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 robots.txt
There is no robots.txt at xsellresources.com/robots.txt, the first file search crawlers ask for.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
17 internal links, 3 external
The homepage links to 17 pages on xsellresources.com and 3 external pages.
1 checks passed
XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.xsellresources.com/sitemap.xml.
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://www.xsellresources.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 (295 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
9 pages share a title
/, https://www.xsellresources.com/team/savitha-naidu, https://www.xsellresources.com/team/nora-farrell, https://www.xsellresources.com/team/shelby-kelly, https://www.xsellresources.com/team/michelle-dorrell and https://www.xsellresources.com/team/jaime-pabin and 3 others all use the title “Xsell”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
12 pages without a meta description
https://www.xsellresources.com/services, https://www.xsellresources.com/employment-search, https://www.xsellresources.com/career, https://www.xsellresources.com/contact, https://www.xsellresources.com/team/savitha-naidu and https://www.xsellresources.com/team/nora-farrell and 6 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
10 pages with very little text
https://www.xsellresources.com/employment-search, https://www.xsellresources.com/contact, https://www.xsellresources.com/team/savitha-naidu, https://www.xsellresources.com/team/nora-farrell, https://www.xsellresources.com/team/shelby-kelly and https://www.xsellresources.com/team/michelle-dorrell and 4 others 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.

Content and conversion
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 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 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 272 words of copy
The homepage carries about 272 words of visible text.
3 checks passed
2 calls to action

Direct contact links

Privacy and tracking
1 cookie set on arrival
1Opening the homepage sets 1 cookie (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.
5 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 5 hosts 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

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