Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
4.8 s · 1.8 MB116 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.8 MB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
3.3 s · 484 KiBAbout 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 KiB8 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
50/100Your 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 msGoogle 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 msContentSquare 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 KiBAbout 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 KiBPolyfills 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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.9 MB in 162 requests
2.9 MBYour 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 KiB7 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 gBy 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
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
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
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
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

Titles are unique
Every page we checked has its own title.

Tap targets are thumb-sized
16 of 19 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

Content and conversion
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”.

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