Speed

10 to fix47
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    7.2 s · 1.1 MB

    About 1.1 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 7.2 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    2.1 s · 354 KiB

    4 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (354 KiB).

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.6 s

    27 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.6 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 47

    47/100

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

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Google Tag Manager and b-cdn.net and others), adding 2.0 MB and 947 ms of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    300 ms · 80 KiB

    About 80 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google CDN adds 298 ms

    298 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 298 ms of main-thread work and 736 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.

  • Main-thread work: 3.0 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 2,064 HTML elements

    The page has 2,064 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Google Maps adds 124 ms

    124 ms

    Google Maps costs a phone 124 ms of main-thread work and 378 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.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    200 ms · 15 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 15 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.

  • 11 long tasks on the main thread

    11 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 180 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Improve image delivery

    150 ms · 13 KiB

    1 image could be 13 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Font display

    150 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 150 ms).

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 54 ms

    54 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 54 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix55
  • First Contentful Paint: 8.3 s

    8.3 s

    The first text or image appears after 8.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 18.3 s

    18.3 s

    Your largest element takes 18.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “The Startup Growth Gallery Over +400 hand picked Growth Hac…”.

  • Time to Interactive: 18.8 s

    18.8 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 18.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 8.3 s

    8.3 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 8.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 390 ms

    390 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 390 ms in total while the page loads. 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.

  • Not enough real-visitor data yet

    Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

1 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.065

    0.065

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.065, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 3.5 MB in 143 requests

    3.5 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.5 MB in 143 requests on a phone: scripts 2.2 MB (48), other files 375 KiB (12) and fonts 332 KiB (6). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.98 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.98 g of CO₂e: 117.6 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

9 to fixGoogle 7988
  • 23 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Frames without titles

    1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.

  • 8 images without alt text

    8 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (29 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 29 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.

  • Zoom is disabled

    The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

  • 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.

  • 20 links without text

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

  • 4 form fields without a label

    4 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h4, h4 → h6 and h4 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 40 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 49 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 40 passed and 9 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 8582
  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • Meta description is short (69 characters)

    Your meta description is only 69 characters: “Tools & Actionable Frameworks to Grow Your Saas & Online business 10x”. 70 to 160 characters is enough to sell the click.

  • 12 links crawlers can't follow

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

  • No favicon declared

    No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.

  • 98 internal links, 1 external

    The homepage links to 98 pages on growthpack.co and 1 external page.

6 checks passed
  • Title: 47 characters

    Your title is a healthy 47 characters: “The Startup Growth Hacking Gallery - GrowthPack”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://growthpack.co/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, 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 and points crawlers to your sitemap.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://growthpack.co/sitemap_index.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.

  • 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.

2 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 (544 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 9 pages without a meta description

    /categories, /resources, /about, /consulting, /speaking and /add-listing-airtable and 3 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 12 pages without an H1

    /category/growthpack-addons, /category/find-emails, /category/linkedin, /categories, /resources and /about and 6 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 8 pages with very little text

    /category/growthpack-addons, /category/find-emails, /category/linkedin, /resources, /add-listing-airtable and /tag/google-spreadsheet and 2 others have under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 63 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

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

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9291
  • 3 JavaScript errors while loading

    3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Uncaught TagError: adsbygoogle.push() error: Only one 'enable_page_level_ads' allowed per page.”.

  • 1 distorted image

    1 image is displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so it looks stretched or squashed.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    48 of 49 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

1 to fix93
  • No HSTS header

    No Strict-Transport-Security header, so browsers may still try plain http first on a return visit.

  • No clickjacking protection

    Neither X-Frame-Options nor a CSP frame-ancestors policy is set, so any site can embed yours in a frame.

  • No X-Content-Type-Options

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

  • No Permissions-Policy

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

  • No security.txt

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

6 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (growthpack.co).

  • Valid certificate (57 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for growthpack.co and is valid for another 57 days.

  • Content-Security-Policy set

    A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://growthpack.co redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2 and HTTP/3

    The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.

  • All 41 links work

    All 41 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 1 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    growthpack.co 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.

Content and conversion

2 to fix75
  • No call to action on the first screen

    On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

  • 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 risk reducer

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

  • About 691 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 691 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • 1 call to action

    The homepage has 1 call to action, for example “Register”.

  • 3 short forms

    3 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 58 testimonial or review blocks, 2 customer or partner logos and 3 trust badges.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

Email authentication

2 to fix60
  • DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be growthpack.co is still delivered. Add a report address, check the reports, then move to quarantine.

  • No DKIM key on the usual selectors

    We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.

  • Email authentication score: 60/100

    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.

1 checks passed
  • SPF in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:_spf.mail.hostinger.com ~all”.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (measured from a US location before any click). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.

  • 6 cookies set on arrival

    6

    Opening the homepage sets 6 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • No consent tool detected

    No known cookie consent tool loads with the page. Some sites build their own banner, and some only show one to visitors from the EU.

  • 18 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 18 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
