Speed

8 to fix50
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    4.8 s · 1.8 MB

    116 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.8 MB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    3.3 s · 484 KiB

    About 484 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.3 s faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    600 ms · 919 KiB

    8 images could be 919 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (ContentSquare, Google Tag Manager and Facebook and others), adding 1.2 MB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.

  • Mobile performance score: 50

    50/100

    Your mobile performance score is 50 (desktop: 88). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 368 ms

    368 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 368 ms of main-thread work and 625 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.

  • ContentSquare adds 379 ms

    379 ms

    ContentSquare costs a phone 379 ms of main-thread work and 177 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.

  • Main-thread work: 3.6 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 32 KiB

    About 32 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 26 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 26 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 10 long tasks on the main thread

    10 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 163 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Phones get a much slower page than desktops

    Desktop scores 88 but mobile only 50. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

  • 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.

  • Server response: 4 ms

    4 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 18.1 s

    18.1 s

    Your largest element takes 18.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Access leading open-source models instantly via drop-in, Op…”.

  • First Contentful Paint: 6.8 s

    6.8 s

    The first text or image appears after 6.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 12.2 s

    12.2 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 12.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 18.4 s

    18.4 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 18.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 262 ms

    262 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 262 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    -2%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-10, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 161 ms to 161 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 11% slower for real visitors

    +11%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-10, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.5 s to 1.6 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

7 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

  • Real-user LCP: 1.5 s

    1.5 s

    Real visitors wait 1.5 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 161 ms

    161 ms

    Real visitors wait 161 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.01

    0.01

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.01 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.4 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 732 ms

    732 ms

    Real visitors wait 732 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

3 to fix68
  • Page weight: 2.9 MB in 162 requests

    2.9 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.9 MB in 162 requests on a phone: images 1.4 MB (57), scripts 1.3 MB (73) and stylesheets 39 KiB (3). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 7 images below the first screen load straight away

    7 images further down the page (896 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • 7 images far larger than shown

    307 KiB

    7 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example razer-case-study.webp at 1,200 px wide, shown at 342 px. Resized copies would save about 307 KiB.

  • About 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.82 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.82 g of CO₂e: 98.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

Accessibility

5 to fixGoogle 8691
  • 10 tap targets too small

    10 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • 2 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)

    Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 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.

  • 13 form fields without a label

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

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 21 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 41 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: 41 passed and 5 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 10096
  • No structured data

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

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.

  • 37 internal links, 19 external

    The homepage links to 37 pages on akash.network and 19 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 133 characters

    Your meta description is 133 characters: “Akash is an open network that lets users buy and sell computing resources securely and efficiently. Purpose-built for p…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “The Open Cloud for AI's Next Frontier”.

  • Title: 49 characters

    Your title is a healthy 49 characters: “Akash Network - Decentralized Compute Marketplace”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://akash.network/.

  • 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://akash.network/sitemap-0.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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.

3 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.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,027 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (18 KiB, 93 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

3 to fix83
  • 1 linked page hidden from search

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

  • 3 pages without a meta description

    /ecosystem/akash-tools, /privacy and /roadmap have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 page without an H1

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

  • 1 page with very little text

    /ecosystem/providers has 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.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 24 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

4 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.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

3 checks passed
  • No console errors

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

  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    16 of 19 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix67
  • 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.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 1 testimonial or review block. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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 733 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 733 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • 7 calls to action

    The homepage has 7 calls to action, for example “Pricing”, “Get in Touch” and “View Pricing Page”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel and HubSpot.

Privacy and tracking

  • 6 trackers load before any consent

    6

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, HubSpot and Meta Pixel and 1 more (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.

  • 18 cookies set on arrival

    18

    Opening the homepage sets 18 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 30 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 30 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: HubSpot cookie banner

    A consent management tool (HubSpot cookie banner) loads with the page.

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