Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
6.0 s · 4.1 MB51 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (4.1 MB).
Mobile performance score: 61
61/100Your mobile performance score is 61 (desktop: 82). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
150 ms · 267 KiBAbout 267 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
341 KiB3 images could be 341 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Google Tag Manager adds 308 ms
308 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 308 ms of main-thread work and 327 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.
9 long tasks on the main thread
9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 300 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Main-thread work: 2.2 s
A phone's processor spends 2.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
4 third-party services on the page
4 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, osano.com and Hotjar and others), adding 454 KiB and 494 ms of main-thread time.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 13 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 13 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
150 ms1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 150 ms.
Reduce unused CSS
11 KiBAbout 11 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

Server response: 18 ms

Core Web Vitals
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.
Largest Contentful Paint: 7.0 s
7.0 sYour largest element takes 7.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.
Time to Interactive: 12.4 s
12.4 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 12.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Real-user INP: 205 ms
205 msReal visitors wait 205 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.
Real-user TTFB: 854 ms
854 msReal visitors wait 854 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
Total Blocking Time: 535 ms
535 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 535 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Speed Index: 3.7 s
3.7 sVisually, the page fills in at 3.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
7 images without width and height
7 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 5.0 MB in 60 requests
5.0 MBYour homepage downloads 5.0 MB in 60 requests on a phone: media 2.5 MB (2), scripts 957 KiB (17) and images 862 KiB (12). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
4 images in older formats
4 images (386 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 below the first screen load straight away
2 images further down the page (182 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.4 g of CO₂ per visit
1.42 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.42 g of CO₂e: 170.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
1 button without a name
1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
49 text elements with low contrast
49 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.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
1 link without text
1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h4 → h6 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 21 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
43 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 50 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 43 passed and 7 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
6 links with vague text
6 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
62 internal links, 25 external
The homepage links to 62 pages on ankr.com and 25 external pages.
8 checks passed
Meta description: 141 characters
Your meta description is 141 characters: “Build on Web3 with a fast, reliable and distributed network of blockchain nodes. Earn with Liquid Staking and integrate…”.
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Build any Web3 project with leading performance.”.
Title: 38 characters
Your title is a healthy 38 characters: “Ankr | The Fastest Web3 Infrastructure”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.ankr.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: Organization.
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.ankr.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)
Your Organization JSON-LD is missing sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.
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 (456 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (3 KiB, 14 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
2 pages share a title
/case-studies/bnb and /case-studies all use the title “Ankr | Case studies”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
5 pages share a meta description
/case-studies/sentora, /case-studies/mantle, /case-studies/bnb, /case-studies and /blog use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
1 link to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example /blog, whose canonical is /blog/page/1. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
4 pages without an H1
/case-studies/sentora, /case-studies/mantle, /case-studies/bnb and /case-studies have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 36 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

DKIM signing found
