appsmith.com website review

About 698 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.2 s faster on a phone.

Your mobile performance score is 38 (desktop: 63). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

A phone's processor spends 4.7 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, reo.dev and Intercom and others), adding 20.6 MB and 754 ms of main-thread time.

ctfassets.net costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 19.7 MB 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 330 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 232 ms of main-thread work and 363 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.

The page has 2,082 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (161 KiB).

5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 150 ms.

About 14 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

Polyfills for old browsers add 12 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

Desktop scores 63 but mobile only 38. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

2 images could be 10 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

9 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

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 20.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Save 100s of development hours and 1000s of development dol…”.

The page becomes fully interactive after 24.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

The first text or image appears after 7.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 11.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 715 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

Real visitors wait 2.6 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

Real visitors wait 324 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 246 ms to 419 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.9 s to 2.8 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Real visitors see the first content after 2.0 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

Real visitors wait 831 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

Your homepage downloads 23.3 MB in 157 requests on a phone: media 19.7 MB (7), scripts 2.3 MB (47) and images 731 KiB (49). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 6.62 g of CO₂e: 793.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

The homepage links to 36 pages on appsmith.com and 21 external pages.

There is no /llms.txt, a short Markdown guide to your key pages for AI tools (llmstxt.org). It is optional and few AI tools read it yet, so treat it as a cheap extra.

Your homepage links to 4 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example /case-study/gsk, whose canonical is /case-studies/gsk. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

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

/enterprise 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.

/case-study/hifi, /case-study/f22-labs, /case-study/heyjobs and /blog/appsmith-business-for-teams-who-need-more-for-their-internal-tools took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 31 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

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

1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://www.aicpa.org/soc4so.

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.

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 725 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, Hotjar and LinkedIn Insight and 1 more (measured from a US location before any click). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.

Opening the homepage sets 12 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

No known cookie consent tool loads with the page. Some sites build their own banner, and some only show one to visitors from the EU.

Loading the homepage contacts 23 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
