Fix these first
- Render-blocking resourceshigh
1 blocking script(s) and 5 stylesheet(s) in <head>.
Fix: Add defer to scripts, inline critical CSS and load the rest asynchronously.
- Mobile viewportcritical
viewport: width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1, viewport-fit=cover – blocks pinch-zoom
Fix: Use <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"> and allow zoom.
- Freshness signalsmedium
No published/updated date found.
Fix: Show a 'last updated' date and add dateModified to your structured data.
- Trust pages (E-E-A-T)medium
No links found to about, contact or privacy pages.
Fix: Link to About, Contact and Privacy pages from every page – they help visitors, Google and AI tools see who stands behind the content.
- Anchor text qualitymedium
Same text used for different pages: “the new york times ・ four scenarios for how the midterms could go”, “the washington post ・ the seven races that will decide control of the senate”, “bbc ・ us midterm elections results 2026”, “bloomberg.com ・ florida becomes a battleground again as democrats gain steam”.
Fix: Make every link text describe its destination, e.g. “logo design prices” instead of “click here”.
- HTML sizemedium
980 kB of HTML – heavy for phones (we only analysed the first 1 MB).
Fix: Remove inline bloat, base64 images and unused markup.
- Scripts & third partiesmedium
117 script tag(s); files loaded from 1 other domain(s): google.com.
Fix: Remove unused tracking and widget scripts; every third party adds connection time.
- Imagesmedium
198 image(s).
Fix: Give every image width and height, lazy-load images below the fold (but not the main image) and serve WebP/AVIF.
