a.team website review

17 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (601 KiB).

About 565 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.5 s faster on a phone.

12 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.0 s.

Your mobile performance score is 44. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

A phone's processor spends 10.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.9 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Hubspot and Facebook and others), adding 1.4 MB and 1.0 s of main-thread time.

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 456 ms of main-thread work and 705 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.

Polyfills for old browsers add 50 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 350 ms faster on a phone.

Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 300 ms).

Hubspot costs a phone 181 ms of main-thread work and 344 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.

14 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 214 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

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.

Your largest element takes 18.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Growth that knows your business.”.

The page becomes fully interactive after 20.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

The first text or image appears after 4.7 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 8.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Real visitors wait 2.7 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

Real visitors wait 248 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

Real visitors see the first content after 2.7 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

Real visitors wait 1.2 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 572 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

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

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 188 ms to 206 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 2.7 MB in 153 requests on a phone: scripts 1.9 MB (71), fonts 358 KiB (13) and images 260 KiB (21). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example soc2-1.svg at 500 px wide, shown at 85 px. Resized copies would save about 151 KiB.

1 image further down the page (204 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.75 g of CO₂e: 90.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

Elements with role="dialog" or role="alertdialog" do not have accessible names. (1 element).

The homepage links to 31 pages on a.team and 3 external pages.

/assessment is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

/assessment has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

/assessment has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

/case-studies took over 3 s to send its HTML from our server.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 18 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://www.a.team/api/media/file/inflection-1.svg?v=1774541020205.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

a.team'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.

No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

The homepage carries about 1,592 words of visible text.

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.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, HubSpot and LinkedIn Insight and 4 mores (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (HubSpot cookie banner) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

Opening the homepage sets 7 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

Loading the homepage contacts 31 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
