Core Web Vitals

7 to fix33
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on your site (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

  • Real-user LCP: 5.7 s

    5.7 s

    Real visitors wait 5.7 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 705 ms

    705 ms

    Real visitors wait 705 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user FCP: 5.6 s

    5.6 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 5.6 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 4.3 s

    4.3 s

    Real visitors wait 4.3 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) got 267% slower for real visitors

    +267%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 209 ms to 705 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 21% slower for real visitors

    +21%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 4.9 s to 5.7 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

1 checks passed
  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

Images and page weight

4 to fix48
  • 1 image over 500 KB

    cube.png weighs 929 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 1 image far larger than shown

    913 KiB

    1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example cube.png at 856 px wide, shown at 37 px. Resized copies would save about 913 KiB.

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (929 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 (929 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.55 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.55 g of CO₂e: 65.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Page weight: 1.9 MB

    1.9 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.9 MB on a phone, 998 KiB of it images (50%). That is a lean page.

Accessibility

2 to fix97
  • 6 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 2 form fields without a label

    2 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 43 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 48 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 49 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 48 passed and 1 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fix85
  • Title is short (25 characters)

    Your title is only 25 characters: “Bessemer Venture Partners”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • 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.

  • 74 internal links, 13 external

    The homepage links to 74 pages on bvp.com and 13 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Meta description: 151 characters

    Your meta description is 151 characters: “Global in reach and decentralized by design, Bessemer Venture Partners backs founders in any sector—from seed to growth…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Forged in steel. Building what’s next.”.

  • Open Graph tags complete

    Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.

  • 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.bvp.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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.

  • 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.

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.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (430 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 2 pages without an H1

    /team and /atlas have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 3 pages with very little text

    /portfolio, /team and /atlas have 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.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 19 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 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.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 15 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

100
3 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    108 of 111 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

1 to fix93
  • 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 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 (bvp.com).

  • Valid certificate (58 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for bvp.com and is valid for another 58 days.

  • HSTS enabled

    Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://bvp.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2

    The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.

  • All 46 links work

    All 46 links checked from your homepage (38 internal, 8 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    bvp.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

    bvp.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 31 years old

    31 years

    bvp.com was registered in Sep 1995 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Sep 2030

    bvp.com is registered until Sep 2030.

Content and conversion

4 to fix58
  • 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.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: “450+ active companies”. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • No analytics detected

    No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

  • 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 risk reducer

    No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

  • About 444 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 444 words of visible text.

2 checks passed
  • 2 calls to action

    The homepage has 2 calls to action, for example “Subscribe to Atlas” and “Subscribe”.

  • 4 short forms

    4 short forms (2 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.

Email authentication

95
  • Email authentication score: 95/100

    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.

3 checks passed
  • 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:spf.mtasv.net include:ccsend.com include:spf.mandrillapp.com include:servers.mcsv.net include:us._netblo…”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”, “k1” and “s1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

  • 1 cookie set on arrival

    1

    Opening the homepage sets 1 cookie (measured from a US location before any click).

  • No consent tool detected

    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.

  • 2 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 2 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • No known trackers before consent

    No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).
