firstrust.com website review

About 1.3 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.0 s faster on a phone.

74 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.0 MB).

Your mobile performance score is 29. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

A phone's processor spends 7.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

The page has 3,362 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, talkdeskapp.com and website-files.com and others), adding 2.9 MB and 2.2 s of main-thread time.

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 796 ms of main-thread work and 708 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.

4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 700 ms.

5 images could be 116 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 500 ms faster on a phone.

talkdeskapp.com costs a phone 511 ms of main-thread work and 687 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.

20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 524 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

About 90 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 310 ms faster on a phone.

38 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

website-files.com costs a phone 243 ms of main-thread work and 862 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 86 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

9 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

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 25.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Philadelphia cityscape on Firstrust Bank mobile banking”.

The page becomes fully interactive after 30.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 14.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 2.0 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

The first text or image appears after 4.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 140 ms to 143 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.2 s to 2.3 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 5.5 MB in 188 requests on a phone: scripts 2.8 MB (71), fonts 1.6 MB (44) and images 673 KiB (33). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.57 g of CO₂e: 187.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.

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

Banner landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

Document should not have more than one banner landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

Your meta description is 162 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

The homepage links to 184 pages on firstrust.com and 23 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.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 90 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://jelly.mdhv.io/v1/star.gif?pid=TMf4T1PiPxcSSf4QMNHUWjAKsO0M&src=mh&evt=hi.

The page uses 2 deprecated browser APIs that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).

2 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_TUNNEL_CONNECTION_FAILED”.

Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

8 links to other sites are dead, for example https://acada2.firstrust.com/c/dyues1oqqu0ti2n48nvo/ (404).

No Strict-Transport-Security header, so browsers may still try plain http first on a return visit.

X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.

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.

firstrust.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.

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

The homepage carries about 1,602 words of visible text.

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.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, LinkedIn Insight and Meta Pixel and 1 more (measured from a US location before any click). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.

Opening the homepage sets 25 cookies, 2 of them by other companies (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 44 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
