Live view · interaction off

Speed

11 to fix30
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.1 s · 777 KiB

    About 777 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.

  • Render-blocking requests

    2.1 s

    8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.1 s.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 1.1 s of main-thread work and 806 KiB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

  • Mobile performance score: 30

    30/100

    Your mobile performance score is 30 (desktop: 98). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 7.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 7.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.2 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 Hubspot and others), adding 1.9 MB and 2.6 s of main-thread time.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    500 ms · 363 KiB

    40 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (363 KiB).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    600 ms · 102 KiB

    About 102 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

  • website-files.com adds 526 ms

    526 ms

    website-files.com costs a phone 526 ms of main-thread work and 440 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 on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 496 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Vimeo adds 97 ms

    97 ms

    Vimeo costs a phone 97 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

    36 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 36 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Phones get a much slower page than desktops

    Desktop scores 98 but mobile only 30. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

  • 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: 3 ms

    3 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 3 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

11 to fix67
  • 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.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 9.6 s

    9.6 s

    Your largest element takes 9.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “A next-generation intelligence platform and AI application …”.

  • First Contentful Paint: 6.8 s

    6.8 s

    The first text or image appears after 6.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 22.3 s

    22.3 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 22.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 2.0 s

    2.0 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 2.0 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Speed Index: 7.8 s

    7.8 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 7.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Real-user LCP: 2.5 s

    2.5 s

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

  • Largest content (LCP) got 20% slower for real visitors

    +20%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.8 s to 2.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Real-user FCP: 2.6 s

    2.6 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.6 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.2 s

    1.2 s

    Real visitors wait 1.2 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • 4 images without width and height

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

4 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 150 ms

    150 ms

    Real visitors wait 150 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.02

    0.02

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.02 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Tap response (INP) got 31% faster for real visitors

    -31%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 218 ms to 152 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.03

    0.03

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.03, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

2 to fix81
  • Page weight: 2.4 MB in 175 requests

    2.4 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.4 MB in 175 requests on a phone: scripts 1.9 MB (59), fonts 141 KiB (4) and other files 104 KiB (69). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    6a98194c9a5790b4642aef2f_IQ_LighthouseIQ color ™.svg 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).

  • About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.67 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.67 g of CO₂e: 80.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

4 to fixGoogle 8994
  • 2 text elements with low contrast

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

  • ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name (1 element)

    ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 3 links without text

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

  • 2 form fields without a label

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

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 16 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 43 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 46 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 43 passed and 3 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 9294
  • Structured data has 1 problem

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

  • 1 link with vague text

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

  • 68 internal links, 0 external

    The homepage links to 68 pages on h5.com and 0 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 149 characters

    Your meta description is 149 characters: “Uncover critical evidence sooner with Lighthouse's AI-powered eDiscovery and expert legal services. Cut review costs up…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Where Intelligence Meets Performance”.

  • Title: 55 characters

    Your title is a healthy 55 characters: “AI-Powered eDiscovery & Legal Intelligence | Lighthouse”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.lighthouseglobal.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.lighthouseglobal.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
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: 5 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles) and description; contact details would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (387 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (3 KiB, 2 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 35 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

    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.”).

  • 3 JavaScript errors while loading

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

  • Browser-reported issues

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

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    8 of 8 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

2 to fix79
  • 1 broken link to your own pages

    1 link from your homepage to your own site is broken, for example https://www.lighthouseglobal.com/lighthouse-iq (404).

  • No Content-Security-Policy

    No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • 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 Referrer-Policy

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

  • 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.

5 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (lighthouseglobal.com).

  • Valid certificate (77 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for h5.com and is valid for another 77 days.

  • HSTS enabled

    Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://h5.com 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.

Domain and trust

  • DNSSEC is off

    lighthouseglobal.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.

3 checks passed
  • Domain is 20 years old

    20 years

    lighthouseglobal.com was registered in Feb 2006 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Certificate issuers are restricted

    CAA records allow only sectigo.com, letsencrypt.org, godaddy.com and lighthouseglobal.com to issue certificates for lighthouseglobal.com, so a mis-issued certificate from anyone else is refused.

  • Registered until Feb 2027

    lighthouseglobal.com is registered until Feb 2027.

Content and conversion

4 to fix69
  • 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.

  • Local business without LocalBusiness data

    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.

  • No phone number on the homepage

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

  • 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 opening hours

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

  • No map or directions link

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

  • 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 361 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 361 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • 5 calls to action

    The homepage has 5 calls to action, for example “Join Lighthouse”, “Contact Us” and “Get in touch”.

  • 2 short forms

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

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 5 testimonial or review blocks and 6 trust badges.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

Email authentication

90
  • Email authentication score: 90/100

    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.

3 checks passed
  • DMARC policy: quarantine

    DMARC tells receivers to quarantine mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.

  • SPF with a strict ending (-all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 a ip4:91.214.216.142 ip4:4.35.160.22 ip4:185.227.200.12 ip4:192.254.121.248 ip4:23.21.109.197 ip4:23.21.109.212…”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

  • 4 cookies set on arrival

    4

    Opening the homepage sets 4 cookies, 2 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 13 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 13 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

2 checks passed
  • Consent tool: OneTrust

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

  • No known trackers before consent

    No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).
