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
Reduce unused JavaScript
300 ms · 130 KiBAbout 130 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.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 59 KiBAbout 59 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
250 ms4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 250 ms.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
159 KiB14 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (159 KiB).
Improve image delivery
41 KiB5 images could be 41 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
4 third-party services on the page
4 third-party services load with your homepage (Other Google APIs/SDKs, Cloudflare and ahrefs.com and others), adding 116 KiB and 28 ms of main-thread time.
Legacy JavaScript
19 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 19 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.
3 checks passed
Mobile performance score: 94
94/100Your mobile performance score is 94 (desktop: 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, 94 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-user LCP: 3.2 s
3.2 sReal visitors wait 3.2 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.
Real-user FCP: 2.4 s
2.4 sReal visitors see the first content after 2.4 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
Real-user TTFB: 1.2 s
1.2 sReal visitors wait 1.2 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
First Contentful Paint: 2.0 s
2.0 sThe first text or image appears after 2.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 2.7 s
2.7 sYour largest element takes 2.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “COMPARE PERSONAL FINANCE”.
7 images without width and height
7 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) got 15% slower for real visitors
+15%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 163 ms to 179 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
+3%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.3 s to 2.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
About 0.2 g of CO₂ per visit
0.15 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.15 g of CO₂e: 18.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
4 checks passed
Page weight: 554 KiB in 41 requests
554 KiBYour homepage downloads 554 KiB in 41 requests on a phone: scripts 246 KiB (14), images 153 KiB (12) and stylesheets 87 KiB (5). That is a lean page.
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
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
6 text elements with low contrast
6 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 99 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 51 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 1 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

AI search readiness
Organization data is thin (2 of 6 facts)
Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.
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.

Security and trust
4 broken external links
4 links to other sites are dead, for example https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrei-bercea-31579094/ (999).
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

HTTP/2 and HTTP/3
The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.
Domain and trust

3 checks passed

Certificate issuers are restricted

Registered until Aug 2028
financer.com is registered until Aug 2028.
Content and conversion
No call to action on the first screen
On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.
Thin social proof

Email authentication

2 checks passed
SPF in place (~all)

DKIM signing found
