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
1.1 s · 539 KiBAbout 539 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.3 s19 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.3 s.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (hsappstatic.net, Google Tag Manager and Hubspot and others), adding 1.3 MB and 923 ms of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 50
50/100Your mobile performance score is 50. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Improve image delivery
609 KiB4 images could be 609 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Reduce unused CSS
420 ms · 113 KiBAbout 113 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 420 ms faster on a phone.
hsappstatic.net adds 441 ms
441 mshsappstatic.net costs a phone 441 ms of main-thread work and 715 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.
5 long tasks on the main thread
5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 319 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
309 KiB58 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (309 KiB).
Google Tag Manager adds 226 ms
226 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 226 ms of main-thread work and 308 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.
Main-thread work: 2.2 s
A phone's processor spends 2.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Minify CSS
150 ms · 8 KiB8 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Minify JavaScript
23 KiB23 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Legacy JavaScript
14 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 14 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.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.
1 checks passed
Server response: 6 ms
6 msYour server sent the HTML in 6 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.
First Contentful Paint: 8.0 s
8.0 sThe first text or image appears after 8.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 8.0 s
8.0 sYour largest element takes 8.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Commercial-scale CDMO for specialized pharmaceutical and co…”.
Time to Interactive: 16.4 s
16.4 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 16.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 8.0 s
8.0 sVisually, the page fills in at 8.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Real-user CLS: 0.23
0.23For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.23 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.154
0.154The layout shifts by 0.154 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
2 images without width and height
2 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

Tap response (INP) got 26% faster for real visitors
-26%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 144 ms to 103 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Largest content (LCP) got 29% faster for real visitors
-29%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.1 s to 2.1 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Total Blocking Time: 157 ms
157 msScripts block the page for only 157 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.8 MB in 113 requests
2.8 MBYour homepage downloads 2.8 MB in 113 requests on a phone: scripts 1.4 MB (39), images 1,008 KiB (25) and stylesheets 195 KiB (21). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
Hero.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).
About 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit
0.80 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.80 g of CO₂e: 96.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
3 text elements with low contrast
3 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
15 links without text
15 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings should not be empty (2 elements)
Headings should not be empty: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h6 and h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 17 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
55 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 59 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 55 passed and 4 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
12 links with vague text
12 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
84 internal links, 3 external
The homepage links to 84 pages on formulatedsolutions.com and 3 external pages.
6 checks passed

XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.formulatedsolutions.com/sitemap.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 (1,093 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 page without a meta description
/news has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
2 pages without an H1
/news and /faqs have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 35 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
5 checks passed
Linked pages load
All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

Best practices
18 small tap targets
18 of 32 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
2 third-party cookies
2 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.
4 JavaScript errors while loading
4 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Uncaught TypeError: e.indexOf is not a function”.
Browser-reported issues
Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).
1 checks passed

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

7 checks passed

HTTP/2 and HTTP/3
The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.
All 40 links work
All 40 links checked from your homepage (37 internal, 3 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
formulatedsolutions.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.
3 checks passed

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.

No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
Phone number is not tap-to-call
Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.

2 checks passed
DMARC policy: quarantine
DMARC tells receivers to quarantine mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.
SPF with a strict ending (-all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 ip4:159.63.141.42/32 ip4:47.44.217.234/32 ip4:104.188.229.25/32 ip4:142.190.72.146/32 include:spf.protection.out…”.
