Speed
Mobile performance score: 73
73/100Your mobile performance score is 73. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
850 ms2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 850 ms.
6 third-party services on the page
6 third-party services load with your homepage (Klaviyo, website-files.com and cloudfront.net and others), adding 2.1 MB and 348 ms of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
450 ms · 91 KiB3 images could be 91 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
website-files.com adds 135 ms
135 mswebsite-files.com costs a phone 135 ms of main-thread work and 1.6 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.
Klaviyo adds 175 ms
175 msKlaviyo costs a phone 175 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.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 20 KiBAbout 20 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 125 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused JavaScript
56 KiBAbout 56 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
19 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 19 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
4 KiB3 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (4 KiB).
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 1.1 s
A phone's processor spends 1.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 581 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 2 ms
2 msYour server sent the HTML in 2 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: 10.7 s
10.7 sYour largest element takes 10.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Time to Interactive: 12.5 s
12.5 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 12.5 s. Good is under 3.8 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.
Speed Index: 3.8 s
3.8 sVisually, the page fills in at 3.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
7 images without width and height
7 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
+3%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 117 ms to 120 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
-5%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.0 s to 2.0 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.034
0.034The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.034, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.1 MB in 72 requests
2.1 MBYour homepage downloads 2.1 MB in 72 requests on a phone: fonts 1.4 MB (10), scripts 403 KiB (35) and images 249 KiB (14). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
65f0d83504453d97b357d825_hp-dontdie-sm-p-500.jpg 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).
1 image in older formats
1 image (37 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.
About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit
0.58 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.58 g of CO₂e: 70.2 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.
Accessibility
3 tap targets too small
3 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (13 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 13 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.
Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)
Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
4 links without text
4 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 21 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
35 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 40 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 35 passed and 5 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
Title is short (13 characters)
Your title is only 13 characters: “Bryan Johnson”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
No canonical URL
No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
Only 3 internal links
The homepage links to only 3 pages on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.
4 checks passed
Meta description: 106 characters
Your meta description is 106 characters: “A new era is here. From atom to mind. Founder & CEO @KernelCo. Also founder @OSFund & @Braintree / @venmo.”.

XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://bryanjohnson.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness

2 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.
llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (2 KiB, 0 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

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 404 ()”.
1 checks passed
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.bryanjohnson.com/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection (404).
http:// does not redirect
http://bryanjohnson.com does not redirect to https, so some visitors land on the insecure version.
1 broken external link
1 link to other sites is dead, for example https://www.linkedin.com/in/bryanrjohnson (999).
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 (bryanjohnson.com).
Valid certificate (81 days left)
The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for bryanjohnson.com and is valid for another 81 days.
Protected from clickjacking
X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.
Content-Security-Policy set
A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
HSTS enabled
Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.
HTTP/2
The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
bryanjohnson.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
bryanjohnson.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 24 years old
24 yearsbryanjohnson.com was registered in Apr 2002 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Apr 2027
bryanjohnson.com is registered until Apr 2027.
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 calls to action
We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.
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 direct contact details
No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.
Only about 81 words
The homepage has only about 81 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
No form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
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: quarantine
DMARC tells receivers to quarantine 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 a a:blueprint.bryanjohnson.co ip4:67.205.178.67 include:_spf.google.com include:amazonses.com include:mealogic.z…”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “google”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
