gremlin.com website review

27 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 7.0 s.

About 734 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.1 s faster on a phone.

Your mobile performance score is 28 (desktop: 47). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

A phone's processor spends 7.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

62 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (8.3 MB).

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, website-files.com and JSDelivr CDN and others), adding 10.4 MB and 1.8 s of main-thread time.

website-files.com costs a phone 428 ms of main-thread work and 9.4 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.

About 207 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 690 ms faster on a phone.

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 732 ms of main-thread work and 306 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 block the main thread while loading, the longest for 417 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

JSDelivr CDN costs a phone 170 ms of main-thread work and 342 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.

22 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles. Google estimates it would make the page about 100 ms faster on a phone.

Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).

3 images could be 51 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

Polyfills for old browsers add 17 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

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 visitors wait 5.1 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

Real visitors see the first content after 4.8 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

Real visitors wait 2.2 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

The first text or image appears after 8.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Your largest element takes 12.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Most teams learn where they're fragile as things break. Gre…”.

The page becomes fully interactive after 22.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 2.1 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

Visually, the page fills in at 9.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Real visitors wait 208 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

3 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 109 ms to 132 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 4.0 s to 4.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 11.9 MB in 179 requests on a phone: media 8.1 MB (2), scripts 1.8 MB (79) and fonts 840 KiB (34). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example 6a2a25daa224aef6b62d6b8b_5b4c39cf1914e4d6f98f065e96472eb8_Ho at 1,280 px wide, shown at 342 px. Resized copies would save about 52 KiB.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.38 g of CO₂e: 405.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

10 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 81 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

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

Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

Structured data found (Organization and SoftwareApplication) but with 1 problem, for example “SoftwareApplication: url is not an absolute URL ("/")”.

1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

The homepage links to 76 pages on gremlin.com and 8 external pages.

/product took over 3 s to send its HTML from our server.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 54 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Error: <svg> attribute width: Expected length, "auto".”.

Large scripts ship without source maps.

X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.

No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

gremlin.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.

Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.

A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.

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

The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

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

There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

The homepage carries about 1,339 words of visible text.

DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be gremlin.com is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.

Email authentication: SPF record 25 points, plus 15 when it ends in -all (10 for ~all); DMARC record 25, plus 25 for a reject policy (15 for quarantine); a DKIM key on a common selector 10.

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

Opening the homepage sets 13 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

Loading the homepage contacts 40 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
