clickup.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
6.4 s · 7.5 MB89 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (7.5 MB).
Render-blocking requests
7.5 s10 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 7.5 s.
Reduce unused CSS
4.2 s · 852 KiBAbout 852 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.2 s faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 12.0 s
A phone's processor spends 12.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 6.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Mobile performance score: 27
27/100Your mobile performance score is 27. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
6,770 HTML elements
The page has 6,770 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Reduce unused JavaScript
3.9 MBAbout 3.9 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 1.2 s. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
1.2 MB10 images could be 1.2 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
7 third-party services on the page
7 third-party services load with your homepage (Optanon, Google Tag Manager and Quora Ads and others), adding 774 KiB and 874 ms of main-thread time.
Optanon adds 568 ms
568 msOptanon costs a phone 568 ms of main-thread work and 237 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.
Google Tag Manager adds 283 ms
283 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 283 ms of main-thread work and 314 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.
Legacy JavaScript
140 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 140 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify JavaScript
31 KiB31 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Duplicated JavaScript
10 KiB10 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.
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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 15.6 MB in 236 requests
15.6 MBYour homepage downloads 15.6 MB in 236 requests on a phone: scripts 7.7 MB (96), other files 3.4 MB (85) and images 2.0 MB (42). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 4.4 g of CO₂ per visit
4.42 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 4.42 g of CO₂e: 530.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
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
28 text elements with low contrast
28 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Interactive controls must not be nested (2 elements)
Interactive controls must not be nested: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
2 tap targets too small
2 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

2 checks passed
Every image has alt text

44 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: 44 passed and 8 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (68 characters)
Your title is 68 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “ClickUp™ | Maximize productivity • Software, AI, and humans converge”.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
3 H1 headlines
There are 3 <h1> headlines (“One Workspace built to think and work”, “Software toreplace all software” and “One Workspace built to think and work”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
3 links with vague text
3 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
Open Graph partly set
Open Graph is missing og:title and og:description, so shared links fall back to guesses.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
18 internal links, 1 external
The homepage links to 18 pages on clickup.com and 1 external page.
4 checks passed
Meta description: 130 characters
Your meta description is 130 characters: “Our mission is to make the world more productive. To do this, we built the everything app for work - Tasks, Docs, Goals…”.
Canonical URL set

robots.txt in place

XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://clickup.com/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.
Some text only appears after JavaScript runs
51%The HTML your server sends has 387 of the 755 words a browser shows. AI crawlers don't run JavaScript, so they miss the rest.
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 (9 KiB, 50 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
1 page with very little text
/features/sprints has 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.
14 internal pages checked
We fetched 14 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.
7 checks passed

All 14 pages we checked loaded without an error.
Canonical URLs point to themselves
No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

security.txt published
A security.txt file tells researchers how to report a problem with your site.
Domain and trust
DNSSEC is off

3 checks passed

Certificate issuers are restricted
CAA records allow only sectigo.com, amazon.com, digicert.com and letsencrypt.org to issue certificates for clickup.com, so a mis-issued certificate from anyone else is refused.
Registered until Jul 2027
clickup.com is registered until Jul 2027.
Content and conversion
