One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Render-blocking requests
2.5 s20 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.5 s.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Accessibe Accessibility Overlay and Hubspot and others), adding 1.7 MB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 56
56/100Your mobile performance score is 56 (desktop: 76). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
979 KiBAbout 979 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Reduce unused CSS
750 ms · 86 KiBAbout 86 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.
Google Tag Manager adds 612 ms
612 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 612 ms of main-thread work and 678 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
553 KiB79 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (553 KiB).
Main-thread work: 3.3 s
A phone's processor spends 3.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.7 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
hsappstatic.net adds 118 ms
118 mshsappstatic.net costs a phone 118 ms of main-thread work and 368 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.
Improve image delivery
249 KiB1 image could be 249 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
15 long tasks on the main thread
15 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 211 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Minify CSS
150 ms · 5 KiB5 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Legacy JavaScript
21 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 21 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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.4 MB in 175 requests
3.4 MBYour homepage downloads 3.4 MB in 175 requests on a phone: scripts 1.8 MB (53), images 1.1 MB (72) and fonts 231 KiB (7). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
8 images below the first screen load straight away
8 images further down the page (288 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit
0.97 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.97 g of CO₂e: 115.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

4 small tap targets
4 of 17 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

Browser-reported issues
Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).
Missing source maps
Large scripts ship without source maps.

7 checks passed

Domain and trust
DNSSEC is off
compugen.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.
3 checks passed
Domain is 29 years old

Registered until Apr 2027

Content and conversion
Thin social proof
