diaspora.vc website review

About 354 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.5 s faster on a phone.

6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.

Your mobile performance score is 64. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

4 third-party services load with your homepage (Squarespace, Adobe TypeKit and sqspcdn.com and others), adding 1.3 MB and 502 ms of main-thread time.

About 137 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 470 ms faster on a phone.

Squarespace costs a phone 492 ms of main-thread work and 913 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.

Polyfills for old browsers add 34 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

3 images could be 181 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 229 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

Your largest element takes 8.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

The page becomes fully interactive after 8.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 6.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

The first text or image appears after 2.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

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

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.

Group+93.png is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.40 g of CO₂e: 47.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

39 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

Your title is only 17 characters: “Diaspora Ventures”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

Structured data found (WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “WebSite: image is not an absolute URL ("//images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eab4e9fb570a470e5d…”.

Open Graph is missing og:description, so shared links fall back to guesses.

The homepage links to 15 pages on diaspora.vc and 22 external pages.

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.

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 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://static1.squarespace.com/static/versioned-site-css/5eab4e9fb570a470e5dd6642/101/5c5…”.

3 links to other sites are dead, for example https://www.linkedin.com/in/carlosdiazprofile/ (999).

No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

Neither X-Frame-Options nor a CSP frame-ancestors policy is set, so any site can embed yours in a frame.

HSTS is set, but max-age is 0 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

1 link go through two or more redirects, for example http://uncut.fm/.

No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

diaspora.vc 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.

On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

Social proof on the homepage: 1 trust badge. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

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

There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

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

The homepage carries about 412 words of visible text.

diaspora.vc has no DMARC record, so nothing tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF or DKIM. Gmail and Yahoo require DMARC from bulk senders.

diaspora.vc has no SPF record, so mail servers can't tell which servers may send email as you. Your mail lands in spam more often, and anyone can send mail pretending to be you.

We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.

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.

Opening the homepage sets 3 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

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.

Loading the homepage contacts 6 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
