demand.work does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Render-blocking requests
500 ms1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 500 ms.
Reduce unused JavaScript
447 KiBAbout 447 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Reduce unused CSS
140 ms · 13 KiBAbout 13 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 140 ms faster on a phone.
2 long tasks on the main thread
2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 75 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
43 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 43 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Document request latency
17 KiBThe HTML itself could arrive sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.
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.

Mobile performance score: 100
100/100Your mobile performance score is 100. That is in Google's “good” band (90 and up).
Main-thread work: 0.5 s
A phone's processor spends 0.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 271 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 214 ms
214 msYour server sent the HTML in 214 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Time to Interactive: 4.0 s
4.0 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 4.0 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.
5 checks passed
Speed Index: 2.7 s
2.7 sVisually, the page fills in at 2.7 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.
First Contentful Paint: 1.3 s
1.3 sThe first text or image appears after 1.3 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.006
0.006The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.006, good is under 0.1).
Largest Contentful Paint: 1.3 s
1.3 sYour largest element renders in 1.3 s on a phone, inside Google's 2.5 s “good” threshold. The largest element is the text “You describe a job the way you'd describe it to a person, b…”.
Total Blocking Time: 50 ms
50 msScripts block the page for only 50 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
About 0.3 g of CO₂ per visit
0.28 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.28 g of CO₂e: 33.5 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: 1,008 KiB in 29 requests
1,008 KiBYour homepage downloads 1,008 KiB in 29 requests on a phone: scripts 868 KiB (18), other files 60 KiB (7) and fonts 37 KiB (2). That is a lean page.
Accessibility
4 text elements with low contrast
4 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
1 link without text
1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.
1 checks passed
39 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: 39 passed and 1 failed. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is short (29 characters)
Your title is only 29 characters: “Demandwork — it does the work”. 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.
No XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at https://demand.work/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
No robots.txt
There is no robots.txt at demand.work/robots.txt, the first file search crawlers ask for.
5 internal links, 0 external
The homepage links to 5 pages on demand.work and 0 external pages.
3 checks passed
Meta description: 154 characters
Your meta description is 154 characters: “Text Demandwork what you need done. It does real work for your business — research, documents, spreadsheets, websites —…”.
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Demandwork is in private early access.”.
Open Graph tags complete
Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.
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.
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.
1 checks passed
AI answer engines may read the site
There is no robots.txt, so nothing stops the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity from reading the site and cite it in answers.
Other pages
3 pages share a meta description
/terms, /privacy and /security use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
3 internal pages checked

Best practices
5 small tap targets
5 of 7 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
2 checks passed
No console errors
No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
No Content-Security-Policy
No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
No security.txt
There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.
7 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (demand.work).
Valid certificate (78 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE2 verifies for demand.work and is valid for another 78 days.
Protected from clickjacking
X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.
HSTS enabled
Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.
http:// redirects to https
http://demand.work redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2
The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.
All 5 links work
All 5 links checked from your homepage (5 internal, 0 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
demand.work 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
demand.work'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 7 years old
7 yearsdemand.work was registered in Jul 2019 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Jul 2027
demand.work is registered until Jul 2027.
Content and conversion
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
No phone number on the homepage
A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.
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.
Only about 103 words
The homepage has only about 103 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
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.
3 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Request an invite”.
1 call to action
The homepage has 1 call to action, for example “Request an invite”.
1 short form
A short form (3 fields at most) is right on the homepage, asking for an email.
Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be demand.work is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.
Email authentication score: 70/100
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.
2 checks passed
SPF in place (~all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “google”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
5 cookies set on arrival
5Opening the homepage sets 5 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.
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).
