One score from every part of this review. How it works

Live view · interaction off

Speed

11 to fix69
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.6 s

    7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.6 s.

  • Main-thread work: 4.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 4.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 3,872 HTML elements

    The page has 3,872 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Unpkg, Google Tag Manager and website-files.com and others), adding 4.9 MB and 1.7 s of main-thread time.

  • Improve image delivery

    1.6 MB

    11 images could be 1.6 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Mobile performance score: 69

    69/100

    Your mobile performance score is 69. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Unpkg adds 711 ms

    711 ms

    Unpkg costs a phone 711 ms of main-thread work and 586 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.

  • website-files.com adds 407 ms

    407 ms

    website-files.com costs a phone 407 ms of main-thread work and 3.4 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.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    687 KiB

    About 687 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • 13 long tasks on the main thread

    13 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 546 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 435 ms

    435 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 435 ms of main-thread work and 701 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.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    156 KiB

    57 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (156 KiB).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    108 KiB

    About 108 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Minify CSS

    23 KiB

    23 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 6 ms

    6 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 6 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

8 to fix67
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

  • Time to Interactive: 17.8 s

    17.8 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 17.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 6.6 s

    6.6 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 6.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.21

    0.21

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.21 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.228

    0.228

    The layout shifts by 0.228 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • Total Blocking Time: 459 ms

    459 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 459 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 17 images without width and height

    17 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.8 s

    1.8 s

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

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    -3%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 122 ms to 118 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

6 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    Real visitors wait 1.1 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 121 ms

    121 ms

    Real visitors wait 121 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.1 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 411 ms

    411 ms

    Real visitors wait 411 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 39% faster for real visitors

    -39%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.3 s to 1.4 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 1.8 s

    1.8 s

    Your largest element renders in 1.8 s on a phone, inside Google's 2.5 s “good” threshold. The largest element is the text “HR shouldn’t be the human glue holding every process togeth…”.

Images and page weight

3 to fix40
  • Page weight: 5.0 MB in 182 requests

    5.0 MB

    Your homepage downloads 5.0 MB in 182 requests on a phone: images 3.1 MB (138), scripts 1.5 MB (17) and fonts 153 KiB (5). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 6 images far larger than shown

    795 KiB

    6 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example 684aef16e2f540536d49cda9_Workflows - Holiday & leave request at 2,188 px wide, shown at 310 px. Resized copies would save about 795 KiB.

  • 8 images in older formats

    8 images (1.1 MB) 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.

  • About 1.4 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.43 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.43 g of CO₂e: 171.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images load when needed

    Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.

Accessibility

4 to fixGoogle 9195
  • 4 buttons without a name

    4 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (75 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 75 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 7 form fields without a label

    7 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • 5 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h6, h3 → h6 and h3 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 234 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 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 3 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 9298
  • 11 links with vague text

    11 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

  • 125 internal links, 35 external

    The homepage links to 125 pages on 50skills.com and 35 external pages.

8 checks passed
  • Meta description: 159 characters

    Your meta description is 159 characters: “Create AI HR workflows for onboarding, approvals and employee requests. If you can describe it, you can automate it, he…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “HR shouldn’t be the human glue holding every process together.”.

  • Title: 46 characters

    Your title is a healthy 46 characters: “Turn HR processes into AI workflows in minutes”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.50skills.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: FAQPage, Organization, Person, Quotation and WebPage.

  • Open Graph tags complete

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

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.50skills.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
4 checks passed
  • AI answer engines may read the site

    Your robots.txt lets the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity read the site and cite it in answers.

  • Organization data: 5 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles) and description; contact details would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (2,823 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (7 KiB, 0 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

1 to fix98
  • 2 pages share a meta description

    /workflow-automation and /hr-process-automation use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 46 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

7 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 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 15 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • 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 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 9671
  • 2 broken images

    2 images failed to load on a phone, for example https://www.50skills.com/.

  • 4 small tap targets

    4 of 20 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “$ is not defined”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

1 to fix93
  • No Content-Security-Policy

    No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • No clickjacking protection

    Neither X-Frame-Options nor a CSP frame-ancestors policy is set, so any site can embed yours in a frame.

  • No X-Content-Type-Options

    X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.

  • No Referrer-Policy

    No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

  • No Permissions-Policy

    No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

  • No security.txt

    There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

6 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (50skills.com).

  • Valid certificate (41 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for 50skills.com and is valid for another 41 days.

  • HSTS enabled

    Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://50skills.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2 and HTTP/3

    The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.

  • All 60 links work

    All 60 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 20 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    50skills.com has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.

  • DNSSEC is off

    50skills.com's DNS answers are not signed. DNSSEC stops attackers forging them to send visitors or email elsewhere; most registrars switch it on in a click, though most sites still run without it.

2 checks passed
  • Domain is 10 years old

    10 years

    50skills.com was registered in Mar 2016 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Mar 2028

    50skills.com is registered until Mar 2028.

Content and conversion

2 to fix83
  • A 11-field form

    Your longest form asks for 11 fields (3 required). Every extra field lowers completion.

  • 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.

  • 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 2,154 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 2,154 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Holiday request” and “Download now”.

  • 28 calls to action

    The homepage has 28 calls to action, for example “Pricing”, “Free Trial” and “Talk to a human”.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 29 testimonial or review blocks, 77 customer or partner logos and 5 trust badges.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics.

Email authentication

1 to fix70
  • DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be 50skills.com is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.

  • Email authentication score: 70/100

    Email authentication: SPF record 25 points, plus 15 when it ends in -all (10 for ~all); DMARC record 25, plus 25 for a reject policy (15 for quarantine); a DKIM key on a common selector 10.

2 checks passed
  • SPF in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 ip4:64.233.160.0 include:mailgun.org include:_spf.google.com ~all”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “google” and “k2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, 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.

  • 17 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 17 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
