Speed

3 to fix67
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    14.6 s · 3.7 MB

    19 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (3.7 MB).

  • Improve image delivery

    3.1 s · 1.4 MB

    4 images could be 1.4 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.1 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 67

    67/100

    Your mobile performance score is 67 (desktop: 98). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Render-blocking requests

    200 ms

    3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 200 ms.

  • 3 third-party services on the page

    3 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Analytics, Cloudflare and Google Fonts), adding 49 KiB and 29 ms of main-thread time.

  • Phones get a much slower page than desktops

    Desktop scores 98 but mobile only 67. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    10 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 10 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 0.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 45 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 2 ms

    2 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 2 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix67
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 24.0 s

    24.0 s

    Your largest element takes 24.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “DIGITAL CREATIVE CONSULTANT”.

  • Time to Interactive: 24.0 s

    24.0 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 24.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 5.7 s

    5.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.4 s

    2.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 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.

2 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

  • 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

3 to fix50
  • Page weight: 5.5 MB in 25 requests

    5.5 MB

    Your homepage downloads 5.5 MB in 25 requests on a phone: images 5.4 MB (12), scripts 39 KiB (5) and fonts 14 KiB (1). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 3 images in older formats

    3 images (622 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 far larger than shown

    177 KiB

    2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example demo-surveycake.png at 1,734 px wide, shown at 364 px. Resized copies would save about 177 KiB.

  • 2 images below the first screen load straight away

    2 images further down the page (279 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 1.6 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.56 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.56 g of CO₂e: 186.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

7 to fixGoogle 3881
  • 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.

  • <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.

  • 6 images without alt text

    6 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (10 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 10 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Zoom is disabled

    The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

  • 1 link without text

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

  • No page language

    The <html> element has no lang attribute, so screen readers may read the page in the wrong voice and accent.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h5 and h1 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 20 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 27 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 20 passed and 7 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

6 to fixGoogle 8372
  • Title is long (67 characters)

    Your title is 67 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “25sprout 新芽網路股份有限公司 » We build fantastic websites and applications!”.

  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • 3 H1 headlines

    There are 3 <h1> headlines (“Digital Solutions”, “Products” and “Clients”). 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 XML sitemap

    No XML sitemap at https://www.25sprout.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

  • No robots.txt

    There is no robots.txt at 25sprout.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 set, so this is minor.

  • 6 internal links, 11 external

    The homepage links to 6 pages on 25sprout.com and 11 external pages.

2 checks passed
  • Meta description: 102 characters

    Your meta description is 102 characters: “25sprout 專注於最新的 UI/UX 設計、網路技術與雲端應用的新創公司,客戶包含各產業的領導性品牌。主要產品包括企業級雲端問卷服務 SurveyCake 和強大的內容管理後台 BackStage。”.

  • Open Graph tags complete

    Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.

AI search readiness

1 to fix69
  • 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.25sprout.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.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 6 pages share a title

    /, https://www.25sprout.com/about.html, https://www.25sprout.com/project.html, https://www.25sprout.com/press.html, https://www.25sprout.com/career.html and https://www.25sprout.com/contact.html all use the title “25sprout 新芽網路股份有限公司 » We build fantastic websites and applications!”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 5 pages share a meta description

    https://www.25sprout.com/about.html, https://www.25sprout.com/project.html, https://www.25sprout.com/press.html, https://www.25sprout.com/career.html and https://www.25sprout.com/contact.html use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 4 pages with very little text

    https://www.25sprout.com/about.html, https://www.25sprout.com/project.html, https://www.25sprout.com/career.html and https://www.25sprout.com/contact.html 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.

  • 5 internal pages checked

    We fetched 5 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 5 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 5 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 5 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

Google 100100
3 checks passed
  • No console errors

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

  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    10 of 10 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

6 to fix50
  • 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.

  • Local business without LocalBusiness data

    Your homepage shows a map but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.

  • No phone number on the homepage

    A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.

  • 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 31 words

    The homepage has only about 31 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • No opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • 1 call to action

    The homepage has 1 call to action, for example “Contact”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics and Cloudflare Web Analytics.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 1 tracker load before any consent

    1

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics (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.

  • 3 cookies set on arrival

    3

    Opening the homepage sets 3 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.

  • 4 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 4 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 25sprout.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
