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
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.6 s · 5.8 MB37 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (5.8 MB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
3.9 s · 909 KiBAbout 909 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.9 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
4.2 s16 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 4.2 s.
Improve image delivery
1.4 s · 325 KiB4 images could be 325 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.4 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 39
39/100Your mobile performance score is 39 (desktop: 56). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 7.1 s
A phone's processor spends 7.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.1 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, website-files.com and Optanon and others), adding 3.5 MB and 1.3 s of main-thread time.
website-files.com adds 306 ms
306 mswebsite-files.com costs a phone 306 ms of main-thread work and 2.2 MB 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 Tag Manager adds 472 ms
472 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 472 ms of main-thread work and 529 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
390 ms · 119 KiBAbout 119 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 390 ms faster on a phone.
Legacy JavaScript
300 ms · 31 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 31 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
2,361 HTML elements
The page has 2,361 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
19 long tasks on the main thread
19 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 239 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
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 JavaScript
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Minify CSS
2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Server response: 11 ms

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.
Real-user FCP: 3.6 s
3.6 sReal visitors see the first content after 3.6 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
First Contentful Paint: 10.1 s
10.1 sThe first text or image appears after 10.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 22.0 s
22.0 sYour largest element takes 22.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.
Time to Interactive: 23.7 s
23.7 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 23.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 12.8 s
12.8 sVisually, the page fills in at 12.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Total Blocking Time: 627 ms
627 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 627 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Real-user LCP: 3.6 s
3.6 sReal visitors wait 3.6 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.
Real-user INP: 314 ms
314 msReal visitors wait 314 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.
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) held steady for real visitors
+7%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 264 ms to 269 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
4 checks passed
Real-user CLS: 0.03
0.03For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.03 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
Real-user TTFB: 384 ms
384 msReal visitors wait 384 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
Largest content (LCP) got 19% faster for real visitors
-19%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.8 s to 3.0 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.044
0.044The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.044, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 10.1 MB in 168 requests
10.1 MBYour homepage downloads 10.1 MB in 168 requests on a phone: media 5.3 MB (1), scripts 2.0 MB (51) and images 1.8 MB (48). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
6a56d2accb54e6d4c918f3f8_Homepage Slider 1-p-500.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).
1 image in older formats
1 image (106 KiB) is JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.
About 2.8 g of CO₂ per visit
2.85 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.85 g of CO₂e: 341.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children (2 elements)
Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.
3 tap targets too small
3 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
1 text element with low contrast
1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (55 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 55 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.
Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)
Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
5 links without text
5 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 108 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
38 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: 38 passed and 7 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
Title is short (26 characters)
Your title is only 26 characters: “Banking AI Platform | Glia”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
3 links with vague text
3 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
132 internal links, 12 external
The homepage links to 132 pages on glia.com and 12 external pages.
5 checks passed
Meta description: 113 characters
Your meta description is 113 characters: “Grow loans & deposits, unlock efficiency, and elevate interactions with AI for community banks and credit unions.”.

AI search readiness

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.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,806 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (7 KiB, 40 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
