Speed
Render-blocking requests
2.1 s15 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.1 s.
Improve image delivery
650 ms · 580 KiB8 images could be 580 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 650 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 77
77/100Your mobile performance score is 77. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
300 ms · 231 KiB12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (231 KiB).
Font display
350 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 350 ms).
Main-thread work: 2.4 s
A phone's processor spends 2.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 922 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
1,651 HTML elements
The page has 1,651 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Cookiebot, Clarity and wonderpush.com and others), adding 757 KiB and 493 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
213 KiBAbout 213 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 43 KiBAbout 43 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.
7 long tasks on the main thread
7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 88 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
39 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 39 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.

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.
Time to Interactive: 21.3 s
21.3 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 21.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 9.2 s
9.2 sVisually, the page fills in at 9.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Real-user LCP: 3.0 s
3.0 sReal visitors wait 3.0 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.
Real-user FCP: 2.7 s
2.7 sReal visitors see the first content after 2.7 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 3.9 s
3.9 sYour largest element takes 3.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image. Most of its time is resource load delay (1.6 s).
17 images without width and height
17 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
First Contentful Paint: 2.0 s
2.0 sThe first text or image appears after 2.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.9 MB in 103 requests
3.9 MBYour homepage downloads 3.9 MB in 103 requests on a phone: other files 1.5 MB (15), images 1.2 MB (36) and scripts 917 KiB (35). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
11 images in older formats
11 images (893 KiB) are 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.
12 images below the first screen load straight away
12 images further down the page (861 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
4 images far larger than shown
71 KiB4 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example Que-faire-a-Cape-Town-Afrique-du-Sud-_-Mademoiselle-Voyage-1 at 1,024 px wide, shown at 310 px. Resized copies would save about 71 KiB.
About 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit
1.11 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.11 g of CO₂e: 133.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
Input buttons must have discernible text (1 element)
Input buttons must have discernible text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.
Orphan list items
Some list items are not inside a list.
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.
Malformed lists
Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.
Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)
Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
1 tap target too small
1 tap target is too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
3 images without alt text
3 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
Invalid ARIA attributes
2 elements use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.
Elements with an ARIA [role] that require children to contain a specific [role] are missing some or all of those required children.
Elements with an ARIA [role] that require children to contain a specific [role] are missing some or all of those required children. (2 elements).
All page content should be contained by landmarks (25 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 25 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
5 form fields without a label
5 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
3 links without text
3 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
ARIA input fields do not have accessible names
ARIA input fields do not have accessible names (2 elements).
Elements with role="none" or role="presentation" have conflicts
Elements with role="none" or role="presentation" have conflicts (2 elements).

SEO
No meta description
No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.
Title is long (115 characters)
Your title is 115 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Globecast - Broadcast Services, Channel Playout, Distribution, Live Event Contribution, O…”.
4 links with vague text
4 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
One H1 headline
Your <h1> is empty.
70 internal links, 11 external
The homepage links to 70 pages on globecast.com and 11 external pages.
5 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.globecast.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, ImageObject, Organization, WebPage and WebSite.
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.
XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.globecast.com/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 (617 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (3 KiB, 27 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
15 pages without a meta description
/how-can-we-help-you, /how-can-we-help-you/for-broadcasters, /how-can-we-help-you/for-pay-tv-and-telecom-operators, /how-can-we-help-you/for-sports-and-news-events, /how-can-we-help-you/for-online-video-platforms and /how-can-we-help-you/for-content-owners and 9 others have 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 /what-we-do, whose canonical is /what-we-do/solutions-overview. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

Email authentication
