Speed

12 to fix39
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.6 s · 5.8 MB

    37 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (5.8 MB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    3.9 s · 909 KiB

    About 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 s

    16 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 KiB

    4 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

    39/100

    Your 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 ms

    website-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 ms

    Google 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 KiB

    About 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 KiB

    Polyfills 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 KiB

    3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Minify CSS

    2 KiB

    2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 11 ms

    11 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 11 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

10 to fix33
  • 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 s

    Real 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 s

    The 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 s

    Your 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 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 23.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 12.8 s

    12.8 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 12.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 627 ms

    627 ms

    Scripts 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 s

    Real 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 ms

    Real 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

    0.03

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.03 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user TTFB: 384 ms

    384 ms

    Real 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

    0.044

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.044, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

2 to fix64
  • Page weight: 10.1 MB in 168 requests

    10.1 MB

    Your 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 g

    By 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

7 to fixGoogle 8489
  • 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

4 to fixGoogle 9277
  • 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.”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.glia.com/.

  • Open Graph tags complete

    Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.

  • 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://www.glia.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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.

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.

Other pages

100
  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 58 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

7 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 5488
  • 2 third-party cookies

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

  • Deprecated browser APIs

    The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).

  • 6 JavaScript errors while loading

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

  • Browser-reported issues

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

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    13 of 14 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

1 to fix92
  • No direct contact details

    No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

  • No form on the homepage

    There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

  • About 1,357 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,357 words of visible text.

5 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “See a Demo” and “Learn more →”.

  • 16 calls to action

    The homepage has 16 calls to action, for example “Priceless Pricing™”, “Get Started” and “See a Demo”.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 28 customer or partner logos, 5 trust badges and “50+ reviews”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

  • Risk reducer mentioned

    A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.

Privacy and tracking

  • 4 trackers load before any consent

    4

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Meta Pixel (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (OneTrust) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 23 cookies set on arrival

    23

    Opening the homepage sets 23 cookies, 2 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 48 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 48 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: OneTrust

    A consent management tool (OneTrust) loads with the page.

Security, domain, email and software versions

The security, domain and email checks, software and plugin versions, and any app with a known security problem are visible only to people at glia.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
