Speed
Mobile performance score: 69
69/100Your mobile performance score is 69. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
580 ms · 246 KiBAbout 246 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 580 ms faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, website-files.com and Hubspot and others), adding 1.2 MB and 668 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
580 ms · 97 KiBAbout 97 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 580 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
450 ms1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 450 ms.
Google Tag Manager adds 283 ms
283 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 283 ms of main-thread work and 329 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.
Main-thread work: 2.3 s
A phone's processor spends 2.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 927 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
website-files.com adds 159 ms
159 mswebsite-files.com costs a phone 159 ms of main-thread work and 644 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.
1,941 HTML elements
The page has 1,941 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 24 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 24 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
7 long tasks on the main thread
7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 174 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
130 KiB7 images could be 130 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
125 KiB8 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (125 KiB).
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: 8 ms
8 msYour server sent the HTML in 8 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 4.4 s
4.4 sYour largest element takes 4.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “A PREMIUM AI SERVICES PROVIDER Best Place to Work in Data a…”. Most of its time is element render delay (2.1 s).
Time to Interactive: 8.5 s
8.5 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 8.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 6.5 s
6.5 sVisually, the page fills in at 6.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
First Contentful Paint: 3.0 s
3.0 sThe first text or image appears after 3.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Total Blocking Time: 231 ms
231 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 231 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
9 images without width and height
9 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Not enough real-visitor data yet
Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.
1 checks passed
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
About 0.3 g of CO₂ per visit
0.35 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.35 g of CO₂e: 41.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
4 checks passed
Page weight: 1.2 MB in 52 requests
1.2 MBYour homepage downloads 1.2 MB in 52 requests on a phone: scripts 665 KiB (14), images 294 KiB (24) and fonts 110 KiB (4). That is a lean page.
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
All page content should be contained by landmarks (86 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 86 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 178 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
41 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 43 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 41 passed and 2 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Page is set to noindex
The robots meta tag says “noindex, nofollow”: Google is told not to list this page at all.
robots.txt blocks all crawlers
Your robots.txt disallows the whole site for every crawler, so search engines are told to stay out.
Blocked from indexing
Google's crawler is blocked from indexing this page.
4 H1 headlines
There are 4 <h1> headlines (“Best Place to Work in Data and AI”, “Officially Claude Select Partner Status” and “One of the UK's Best Workplaces™”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
166 internal links, 11 external
The homepage links to 166 pages on blend360.com and 11 external pages.
6 checks passed
Meta description: 150 characters
Your meta description is 150 characters: “Blend360 co-creates value with leading companies through the integration of data, advanced analytics, technology & peop…”.
Title: 52 characters
Your title is a healthy 52 characters: “Data, Analytics, and Technology Solutions - Blend360”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.blend360.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.
XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.blend360.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
robots.txt blocks 6 AI answer engine crawlers
6 of 6Your robots.txt shuts out ChatGPT search (OAI-SearchBot), ChatGPT (ChatGPT-User), Claude search (Claude-SearchBot), Claude (Claude-User), Perplexity (PerplexityBot) and Perplexity (Perplexity-User). These fetch pages to answer people's questions and cite the source, so your site can't be quoted or linked in those answers.
No llms.txt
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.
Opted out of AI training for 5 crawlers
robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended and CCBot, which collect pages to train models. That's a legitimate choice and doesn't by itself stop the site appearing in AI answers.
2 checks passed
Organization data: 5 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles) and contact details; description would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (2,985 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
15 linked pages hidden from search
/blendx, /about-us, /our-journey, /awards-recognition, /leadership-team and /careers and 9 others are marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If they are meant to be found, remove the noindex.

Best practices
10 broken images
10 images failed to load on a phone, for example https://blend360.com/.
4 small tap targets
4 of 20 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
2 checks passed
No console errors
No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
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 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.
6 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (blend360.com).
Valid certificate (67 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE2 verifies for blend360.com and is valid for another 67 days.
HSTS enabled
Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.
http:// redirects to https
http://blend360.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2 and HTTP/3
The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.
All 42 links work
All 42 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 2 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
blend360.com 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.
DNSSEC is off
blend360.com's DNS answers are not signed. DNSSEC stops attackers forging them to send visitors or email elsewhere; most registrars switch it on in a click, though most sites still run without it.
2 checks passed
Domain is 21 years old

blend360.com is registered until Jun 2027.
Content and conversion
Local business without LocalBusiness data

No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
No risk reducer
No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

DMARC policy: reject
DMARC tells receivers to reject mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.
SPF in place (~all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:_s01077719.autospf.email include:spf.ess.barracudanetworks.com ~all”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1” and “selector2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
