front.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Mobile performance score: 31
31/100Your mobile performance score is 31. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 6.7 s
A phone's processor spends 6.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.9 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Reduce unused JavaScript
610 ms · 2.0 MBAbout 2.0 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 610 ms faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Facebook and Clarity and others), adding 2.7 MB and 1.5 s of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
947 KiB26 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (947 KiB).
Google Tag Manager adds 769 ms
769 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 769 ms of main-thread work and 1,018 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.
Render-blocking requests
800 ms3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 800 ms.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 342 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
2,440 HTML elements
The page has 2,440 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Wistia adds 114 ms
114 msWistia costs a phone 114 ms of main-thread work and 581 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.
Optimizely adds 114 ms
114 msOptimizely costs a phone 114 ms of main-thread work and 475 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.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 64 KiBAbout 64 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
145 KiB5 images could be 145 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Font display
100 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
52 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 52 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify JavaScript
7 KiB7 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
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.
Duplicated JavaScript
2 KiB2 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 5.9 MB in 152 requests
5.9 MBYour homepage downloads 5.9 MB in 152 requests on a phone: scripts 4.2 MB (71), HTML 1,009 KiB (3) and media 345 KiB (1). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 1.7 g of CO₂ per visit
1.68 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.68 g of CO₂e: 201.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
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
All page content should be contained by landmarks (56 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 56 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
1 link without text
1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3, h2 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 53 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
41 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 45 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 41 passed and 4 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

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://front.com/sitemaps-1-sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
4 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.
Organization data: 4 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,445 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (4 KiB, 29 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
1 page without a meta description
/product-tour has 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 /product/compass-AI-agent-performance-monitoring, whose canonical is /product/compass-ai-agent-performance-monitoring. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
1 page without an H1
/pricing has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
