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
Improve image delivery
5.2 s · 1,011 KiB1 image could be 1,011 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 5.2 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
2.8 s35 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.8 s.
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.6 s · 238 KiBAbout 238 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.6 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 57
57/100Your mobile performance score is 57 (desktop: 84). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
800 ms · 82 KiB6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (82 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
750 ms · 116 KiBAbout 116 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.
Google Tag Manager adds 196 ms
196 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 196 ms of main-thread work and 296 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.
7 third-party services on the page
7 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Hubspot and lfeeder.com and others), adding 538 KiB and 263 ms of main-thread time.
1 long task on the main thread
1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 163 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Minify CSS
150 ms · 3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 84 but mobile only 57. 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.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 1.7 s
A phone's processor spends 1.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 939 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 27.8 MB in 96 requests
27.8 MBYour homepage downloads 27.8 MB in 96 requests on a phone: media 25.5 MB (3), images 1.2 MB (8) and scripts 772 KiB (33). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image over 500 KB
Apto-Logo-25-tpt-1.gif weighs 1,014 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
1 image in older formats
1 image (1,014 KiB) is 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.
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (27 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 7.9 g of CO₂ per visit
7.89 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 7.89 g of CO₂e: 946.2 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.

Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)

All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)

1 link without text

1 tap target too small
1 tap target is too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (1 element)
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

45 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 7 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is short (14 characters)
Your title is only 14 characters: “Apto Solutions”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
Meta description is long (369 characters)
Your meta description is 369 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
15 links crawlers can't follow
15 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
143 internal links, 7 external
The homepage links to 143 pages on aptosolutions.com and 7 external pages.
6 checks passed

Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles) and description; contact details would complete it.

No clickjacking protection

No form on the homepage
