Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.2 s · 254 KiB8 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (254 KiB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
900 ms · 394 KiBAbout 394 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 71
71/100Your mobile performance score is 71. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
7 third-party services on the page
7 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Google Tag Manager and Other Google APIs/SDKs and others), adding 1,016 KiB and 699 ms of main-thread time.
Render-blocking requests
750 ms3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 750 ms.
Google CDN adds 514 ms
514 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 514 ms of main-thread work and 743 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
150 ms · 60 KiBAbout 60 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.
8 long tasks on the main thread
8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 189 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
100 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).
Improve image delivery
10 KiB1 image could be 10 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Minify CSS
8 KiB8 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
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.

Main-thread work: 1.7 s
A phone's processor spends 1.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.1 s of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 1 ms
1 msYour server sent the HTML in 1 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Time to Interactive: 9.8 s
9.8 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 9.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 4.7 s
4.7 sYour largest element takes 4.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “I'll share the best things I have learned and used to grow …”.
Total Blocking Time: 403 ms
403 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 403 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
1 image without width and height
1 image 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.
3 checks passed
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.083
0.083The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.083, good is under 0.1).
First Contentful Paint: 1.4 s
1.4 sThe first text or image appears after 1.4 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Speed Index: 2.4 s
2.4 sVisually, the page fills in at 2.4 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.
Images and page weight
About 0.4 g of CO₂ per visit
0.44 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.44 g of CO₂e: 52.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
4 checks passed
Page weight: 1.6 MB in 25 requests
1.6 MBYour homepage downloads 1.6 MB in 25 requests on a phone: scripts 875 KiB (8), other files 358 KiB (5) and fonts 245 KiB (4). That is a lean page.
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
4 text elements with low contrast
4 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
<html> element must have a lang attribute (1 element)
<html> element must have a lang attribute: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
1 image without alt text
1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (7 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 7 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.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
No page language
The <html> element has no lang attribute, so screen readers may read the page in the wrong voice and accent.
1 checks passed
34 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 39 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 34 passed and 5 failed. 2 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 (14 characters)
Your title is only 14 characters: “Grow Your Saas”. 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.
Meta description is short (38 characters)
Your meta description is only 38 characters: “Helping SaaS owners grow the business.”. 70 to 160 characters is enough to sell the click.
No canonical URL
No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.
No XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at http://www.growyoursaas.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
No robots.txt
There is no robots.txt at growyoursaas.com/robots.txt, the first file search crawlers ask for.
Only 4 internal links
The homepage links to only 4 pages on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.
Open Graph partly set
Open Graph is missing og:title, so shared links fall back to guesses.
AI search readiness
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 https://www.growyoursaas.com/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.
1 checks passed
AI answer engines may read the site
There is no robots.txt, so nothing stops the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity from reading the site and cite it in answers.
Other pages
4 pages share a title
/, https://www.growyoursaas.com/resources, https://www.growyoursaas.com/calculators and https://www.growyoursaas.com/contact all use the title “Grow Your Saas”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
3 pages share a meta description
https://www.growyoursaas.com/resources, https://www.growyoursaas.com/calculators and https://www.growyoursaas.com/contact use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
2 pages without an H1
https://www.growyoursaas.com/resources and https://www.growyoursaas.com/calculators have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
3 pages with very little text
https://www.growyoursaas.com/resources, https://www.growyoursaas.com/calculators and https://www.growyoursaas.com/contact 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.
3 internal pages checked
We fetched 3 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

Best practices
3 small tap targets
3 of 6 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
2 checks passed
No console errors
No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
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.
Only about 48 words
The homepage has only about 48 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
No form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
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.
3 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Contact”.
1 call to action
The homepage has 1 call to action, for example “Contact”.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Analytics.
Privacy and tracking
2 trackers load before any consent
2Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads 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.
4 cookies set on arrival
4Opening the homepage sets 4 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (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.
9 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 9 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
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 growyoursaas.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
