Speed

2 to fix75
  • Mobile performance score: 75

    75/100

    Your mobile performance score is 75. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    300 ms · 59 KiB

    About 59 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, JSDelivr CDN and Cloudflare and others), adding 257 KiB and 278 ms of main-thread time.

  • Render-blocking requests

    150 ms

    3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 150 ms.

  • 2 long tasks on the main thread

    2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 138 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    58 KiB

    85 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (58 KiB).

  • Improve image delivery

    33 KiB

    5 images could be 33 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    10 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 10 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.

  • Minify CSS

    3 KiB

    3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Minify JavaScript

    3 KiB

    3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 308 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 3 ms

    3 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 3 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix74
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.286

    0.286

    The layout shifts by 0.286 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.9 s

    2.9 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 21 images without width and height

    21 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 2.9 s

    2.9 s

    Your largest element takes 2.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “TRANSFORMING IDEAS INTO INNOVATIVE DIGITAL SOLUTIONS”.

  • Time to Interactive: 4.2 s

    4.2 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 4.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Speed Index: 3.4 s

    3.4 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 3.4 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.

  • Total Blocking Time: 69 ms

    69 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 69 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

100
  • 3 images in older formats

    3 images (232 KiB) are 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 0.2 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.21 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.21 g of CO₂e: 24.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • Page weight: 748 KiB in 100 requests

    748 KiB

    Your homepage downloads 748 KiB in 100 requests on a phone: images 441 KiB (80), scripts 235 KiB (9) and fonts 35 KiB (1). That is a lean page.

  • 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

4 to fixGoogle 9294
  • Unlabelled dropdowns

    1 dropdown has no label.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 8 form fields without a label

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

  • Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (2 elements)

    Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h3 → h5, h3 → h5 and h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 91 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 38 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 42 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 38 passed and 4 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

5 to fixGoogle 10081
  • Canonical points to another host

    Your canonical URL points to codmates.com.br, not codmates.com, so Google may credit that host instead.

  • Meta description is long (199 characters)

    Your meta description is 199 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • Structured data has 1 problem

    Structured data found (Organization) but with 1 problem, for example “Organization: url points at a different host (https://codmates.com.br)”.

  • No XML sitemap

    No XML sitemap at https://codmates.com.br/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

  • Only 2 internal links

    The homepage links to only 2 pages on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.

4 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “TRANSFORMANDO IDEIAS EMSOLUÇÕES DIGITAIS INOVADORAS”.

  • Title: 63 characters

    Your title is a healthy 63 characters: “Codmates - Transformando Ideias em Soluções Digitais Inovadoras”.

  • 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.

AI search readiness

100
  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://codmates.com/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.

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.

  • Organization data: 6 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,309 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Best practices

Google 100100
3 checks passed
  • No console errors

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

  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    7 of 7 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix75
  • 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.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 13 customer or partner logos. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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 970 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 970 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “CONTACT US” and “Contact Us”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (7 fields at most) is right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics and Cloudflare Web Analytics.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 0 email links.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (measured from a US location before any click). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.

  • 3 cookies set on arrival

    3

    Opening the homepage sets 3 cookies (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.

  • 12 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 12 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Security, domain, email and software versions

The security, domain and email checks, software and plugin versions, and any app with a known security problem are visible only to people at codmates.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
