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
Reduce unused JavaScript
3.9 s · 1.1 MBAbout 1.1 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.9 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
2.3 s · 445 KiB22 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (445 KiB).
Google Tag Manager adds 1.2 s
1.2 sGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 1.2 s of main-thread work and 851 KiB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
Mobile performance score: 34
34/100Your mobile performance score is 34. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 5.6 s
A phone's processor spends 5.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Google CDN and Hotjar and others), adding 2.0 MB and 2.4 s of main-thread time.
Google CDN adds 559 ms
559 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 559 ms of main-thread work and 742 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.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 361 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
300 ms · 35 KiB1 image could be 35 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Hotjar adds 284 ms
284 msHotjar costs a phone 284 ms of main-thread work and 261 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.
Render-blocking requests
300 ms20 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 300 ms.
Font display
100 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).
Reduce unused CSS
33 KiBAbout 33 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Legacy JavaScript
13 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 13 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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.

Server response: 15 ms
15 msYour server sent the HTML in 15 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
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: 13.8 s
13.8 sYour largest element takes 13.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Time to Interactive: 25.4 s
25.4 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 25.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Total Blocking Time: 1.8 s
1.8 sScripts block taps and scrolling for 1.8 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Speed Index: 7.7 s
7.7 sVisually, the page fills in at 7.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
First Contentful Paint: 3.5 s
3.5 sThe first text or image appears after 3.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Real-user INP: 217 ms
217 msReal visitors wait 217 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.
Tap response (INP) got 26% slower for real visitors
+26%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 159 ms to 208 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Real-user FCP: 1.9 s
1.9 sReal visitors see the first content after 1.9 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
Real-user TTFB: 1.2 s
1.2 sReal visitors wait 1.2 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
+3%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.3 s to 2.4 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Real-user CLS: 0.09

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.0 MB in 160 requests
4.0 MBYour homepage downloads 4.0 MB in 160 requests on a phone: scripts 2.2 MB (63), other files 1.1 MB (42) and fonts 455 KiB (6). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
blockchain-digital-world.jpeg is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
About 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit
1.14 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.14 g of CO₂e: 136.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
Unlabelled dropdowns
4 dropdowns have no label.
22 text elements with low contrast
22 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Links look like plain text
4 links inside paragraphs rely on colour alone to stand out.
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.
5 form fields without a label
5 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
5 links without text
5 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3, h2 → h5 and h2 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 14 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 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 43 passed and 5 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No meta description
No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.
64 links crawlers can't follow
64 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
No canonical URL
No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.
1 link with vague text
1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.
Open Graph partly set
Open Graph is missing og:description, so shared links fall back to guesses.
38 internal links, 37 external
The homepage links to 38 pages on avblockchain.com and 37 external pages.
4 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Alumni Ventures Blockchain Fund”.
Title: 60 characters
Your title is a healthy 60 characters: “Blockchain Fund (Entrepreneur Facing Page) - Alumni Ventures”.
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.av.vc/sitemap.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 (1,092 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (7 KiB, 9 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
1 linked page hidden from search
/offerings is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.
5 pages without a meta description
/offerings, /for-founders, /institutional, /pre-public-equity-partners and /venture-fellow-program have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
4 pages without an H1
/offerings, /academy, /pre-public-equity-partners and /about 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 23 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
No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.
Titles are unique
Every page we checked has its own title.
Every page has a title
All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.
Best practices
1 broken image
1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=187230845&tm=gtm002&Ver=2&mid=abb6ee0a-f051-4b76-b3d2-ab4aedf0b069&bo=1&sid=b52f0c20dbc811f1994fe13fe03aed1f&vid=b52f3980dbc811f18734659400db984b&vids=1&msclkid=N&pi=9.
1 JavaScript error while loading
1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 400 ()”.
2 checks passed
Tap targets are thumb-sized
24 of 26 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
1 broken link to your own pages
1 link from your homepage to your own site is broken, for example https://www.av.vc/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection (404).
No HSTS header
No Strict-Transport-Security header, so browsers may still try plain http first on a return visit.
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.
1 link through redirect chains
1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://pixelynx.io/.
No Referrer-Policy
No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.
No Permissions-Policy
No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.
No security.txt
There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.
4 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (av.vc).
Valid certificate (74 days left)
The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for avblockchain.com and is valid for another 74 days.
http:// redirects to https
http://avblockchain.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2
The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
av.vc has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.
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.
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
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 opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
About 1,082 words of copy
The homepage carries about 1,082 words of visible text.
5 checks passed
1 call to action
The homepage has 1 call to action, for example “Learn More”.
1 short form
A short form (4 fields at most) is right on the homepage.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and HubSpot.
Phone number on the homepage
Your phone number is on the homepage.
Risk reducer mentioned
A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.
Email authentication
No DMARC policy
avblockchain.com has no DMARC record, so nothing tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF or DKIM. Gmail and Yahoo require DMARC from bulk senders.
No SPF record
avblockchain.com has no SPF record, so mail servers can't tell which servers may send email as you. Your mail lands in spam more often, and anyone can send mail pretending to be you.
No DKIM key on the usual selectors
We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.
Email authentication score: 0/100
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.
Privacy and tracking
8 trackers load before any consent
8Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and HubSpot and 3 mores (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (HubSpot cookie banner) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.
23 cookies set on arrival
23Opening the homepage sets 23 cookies, 7 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).
30 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 30 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
1 checks passed
