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 · 1.1 MB13 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.1 MB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.1 s · 593 KiBAbout 593 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.1 s faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
1.5 MBAbout 1.5 MB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Mobile performance score: 58
58/100Your mobile performance score is 58. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 309 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
87 KiB1 image could be 87 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Legacy JavaScript
13 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 13 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
1 third-party service on the page
1 third-party service load with your homepage (Google Fonts), adding 88 KiB and 0 ms of main-thread time.
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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.3 MB in 58 requests
4.3 MBYour homepage downloads 4.3 MB in 58 requests on a phone: scripts 1.6 MB (25), stylesheets 1.5 MB (4) and images 1.1 MB (14). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image over 500 KB
generative_ai_c53e096b58.svg weighs 850 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (850 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
1 image far larger than shown
4 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example grouped_devices_702_55a9c13c33.webp at 1,000 px wide, shown at 326 px. Resized copies would save about 4 KiB.
About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit
1.23 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.23 g of CO₂e: 147.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed

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

Security and trust
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 security.txt

6 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (api.video).
Valid certificate (73 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YR1 verifies for api.video and is valid for another 73 days.
HSTS enabled
Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.
http:// redirects to https

8 yearsapi.video was registered in Mar 2018 through OVH SAS. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Certificate issuers are restricted
CAA records allow only letsencrypt.org, globalsign.com, sectigo.com and digicert.com to issue certificates for api.video, so a mis-issued certificate from anyone else is refused.
Registered until Mar 2027
api.video is registered until Mar 2027.
Content and conversion
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
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 form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
About 620 words of copy
The homepage carries about 620 words of visible text.
3 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Get started for free”.

Risk reducer mentioned
A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.
Email authentication

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.

SPF in place (~all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 mx ip4:178.33.109.158/32 ip4:178.33.254.112/32 include:stspg-customer.com include:email.freshdesk.com include:ma…”.
