Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Improve image delivery
1.9 s · 1.4 MB5 images could be 1.4 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.9 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.4 s11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.
Mobile performance score: 63
63/100Your mobile performance score is 63. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
300 ms · 102 KiB6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (102 KiB).
1,582 HTML elements
The page has 1,582 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Reduce unused JavaScript
280 ms · 32 KiBAbout 32 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 280 ms faster on a phone.
5 third-party services on the page
5 third-party services load with your homepage (cdn-cookieyes.com, Hubspot and Vimeo and others), adding 438 KiB and 143 ms of main-thread time.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 24 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 24 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
140 ms · 11 KiBAbout 11 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.
Minify CSS
130 ms · 6 KiB6 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Minify JavaScript
130 ms · 6 KiB6 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
4 long tasks on the main thread
4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 131 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
100 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).
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.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 1.3 s
A phone's processor spends 1.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 668 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 2 ms
2 msYour server sent the HTML in 2 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors
Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.
Largest Contentful Paint: 11.3 s
11.3 sYour largest element takes 11.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Time to Interactive: 11.6 s
11.6 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 11.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 6.1 s
6.1 sVisually, the page fills in at 6.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
First Contentful Paint: 3.1 s
3.1 sThe first text or image appears after 3.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Real-user LCP: 3.1 s
3.1 sReal visitors wait 3.1 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.
Real-user FCP: 2.8 s
2.8 sReal visitors see the first content after 2.8 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
Real-user TTFB: 1.4 s
1.4 sReal visitors wait 1.4 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
7 images without width and height
7 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
-2%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.3 s to 3.1 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
5 checks passed
Real-user INP: 102 ms
102 msReal visitors wait 102 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.
Real-user CLS: 0.00
0.00For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
Tap response (INP) got 13% faster for real visitors
-13%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 115 ms to 104 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Total Blocking Time: 145 ms
145 msScripts block the page for only 145 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.1 MB in 66 requests
2.1 MBYour homepage downloads 2.1 MB in 66 requests on a phone: images 1.5 MB (19), scripts 337 KiB (25) and other files 140 KiB (7). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
2 images in older formats
2 images (126 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.
2 images below the first screen load straight away
2 images further down the page (194 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit
0.60 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.60 g of CO₂e: 71.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children (1 element)
Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.
12 text elements with low contrast
12 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Positive tabindex
2 elements have a tabindex above 0, which scrambles the keyboard order.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (7 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 7 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
4 links without text
4 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 9 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
50 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 56 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 6 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is short (16 characters)
Your title is only 16 characters: “Elevate Ventures”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
5 links crawlers can't follow
5 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
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.
42 internal links, 17 external
The homepage links to 42 pages on elevateventures.com and 17 external pages.
7 checks passed
Meta description: 125 characters
Your meta description is 125 characters: “We invest in companies at Pre-Seed, Seed and Series A stages who are headquartered or have a significant presence in In…”.
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Committed Beyond Capital”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://elevateventures.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, WebPage and WebSite.
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.
XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://elevateventures.com/sitemap_index.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.
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.
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.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (651 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
3 pages without a meta description
/tools-data, /team and /resource-category/investment-policies have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 link to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example /resource-category/investment-policies, whose canonical is /resource-category/policies. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
1 page without an H1
/apply has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
1 page with very little text
/resource-category/investment-policies 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.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 19 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
4 checks passed
Linked pages load
All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.
Titles are unique
Every page we checked has its own title.
No linked page is hidden from search
None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.
Every page has a title
All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.
Best practices
1 JavaScript error while loading
1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “grecaptcha is not defined”.
2 checks passed
Tap targets are thumb-sized
16 of 16 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
No HSTS header
No Strict-Transport-Security header, so browsers may still try plain http first on a return visit.
No Content-Security-Policy
No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
No clickjacking protection
Neither X-Frame-Options nor a CSP frame-ancestors policy is set, so any site can embed yours in a frame.
No X-Content-Type-Options
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.
No Referrer-Policy
No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.
No Permissions-Policy
No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.
No security.txt
There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.
5 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (elevateventures.com).
Valid certificate (66 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for elevateventures.com and is valid for another 66 days.
http:// redirects to https
http://elevateventures.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2 and HTTP/3
The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.
All 29 links work
All 29 links checked from your homepage (21 internal, 8 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
elevateventures.com 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
elevateventures.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.
2 checks passed
Domain is 15 years old
15 yearselevateventures.com was registered in Jan 2011 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Sep 2027
elevateventures.com is registered until Sep 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 opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
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 632 words of copy
The homepage carries about 632 words of visible text.
6 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “APPLY” and “BOOK OUR SPACE”.
8 calls to action
The homepage has 8 calls to action, for example “Apply”, “Book Our Space” and “Apply For Funding”.
1 short form
A short form (2 fields at most) is right on the homepage, asking for an email.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and HubSpot.
Direct contact links
Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 0 email links.
Phone number on the homepage
Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.
Email authentication
Email authentication score: 85/100
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.
3 checks passed
DMARC policy: quarantine
DMARC tells receivers to quarantine mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.
SPF in place (~all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:spf.officernd.com include:_spf.google.com include:spf1.service.formassembly.com include:servers.mcsv.net…”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “google”, “selector2” and “k1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
1 tracker load before any consent
1Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads HubSpot (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (CookieYes) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.
7 cookies set on arrival
7Opening the homepage sets 7 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
13 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 13 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
1 checks passed
