Speed

12 to fix35
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.4 s · 795 KiB

    About 795 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.4 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 35

    35/100

    Your mobile performance score is 35. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 7.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 7.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Google CDN and Hello Bar and others), adding 1.8 MB and 1.6 s of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    850 ms · 253 KiB

    About 253 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 850 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 654 ms

    654 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 654 ms of main-thread work and 534 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.

  • Google CDN adds 569 ms

    569 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 569 ms of main-thread work and 742 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 on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 610 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    300 ms · 276 KiB

    29 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (276 KiB).

  • Font display

    350 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 350 ms).

  • Render-blocking requests

    300 ms

    3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 300 ms.

  • 1,734 HTML elements

    The page has 1,734 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Minify JavaScript

    28 KiB

    28 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.

  • Minify CSS

    4 KiB

    4 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 456 ms

    456 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 456 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

    The page becomes fully interactive after 17.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 9.5 s

  • Largest content (LCP) got 18% faster for real visitors

    -18%

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 3.0 MB in 75 requests

    3.0 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.0 MB in 75 requests on a phone: scripts 1.7 MB (27), other files 365 KiB (10) and stylesheets 329 KiB (15). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.84 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.84 g of CO₂e: 101.2 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

8 to fixGoogle 9390
  • 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.

  • 2 tap targets too small

    2 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • [role="img"] and [role="image"] elements must have alternative text (1 element)

    [role="img"] and [role="image"] elements must have alternative text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (2 elements)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 2 links without text

    2 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • 1 form field without a label

    1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • Users should be able to zoom and scale the text up to 500% (1 element)

    Users should be able to zoom and scale the text up to 500%: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 57 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 47 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 54 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 7 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 9298
  • 7 links crawlers can't follow

    7 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

  • 201 internal links, 6 external

    The homepage links to 201 pages on fusion5.com and 6 external pages.

8 checks passed
  • Meta description: 154 characters

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Make more possible.Go beyond.”.

  • Title: 51 characters

AI search readiness

100
  • 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.

3 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 (1,375 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 1 link to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example /insights-resources, whose canonical is /nz/insights-resources. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • HTTP/2

  • All 46 links work

    All 46 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 6 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    fusion5.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

    fusion5.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 30 years old
