harshwal.com website review

About 1.1 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.9 s faster on a phone.

14 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.

A phone's processor spends 4.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

6 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, ZenDesk and Other Google APIs/SDKs and others), adding 1.8 MB and 1.5 s of main-thread time.

49 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (782 KiB).

Your mobile performance score is 50 (desktop: 40). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

Google CDN costs a phone 729 ms of main-thread work and 1.1 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.

3 images could be 437 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

ZenDesk costs a phone 581 ms of main-thread work and 473 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.

Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 550 ms).

About 38 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.

15 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 205 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

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.

Your largest element takes 7.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below. Most of its time is resource load delay (4.6 s).

Visually, the page fills in at 11.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

The page becomes fully interactive after 16.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

The first text or image appears after 3.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 389 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

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

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.

Your homepage downloads 3.3 MB in 117 requests on a phone: scripts 1.7 MB (29), images 680 KiB (29) and other files 365 KiB (32). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.93 g of CO₂e: 111.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

15 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

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

2 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 30 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

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

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

Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 14 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

Elements marked as presentational should be consistently ignored: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

Headings skip levels (h1 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

Your meta description is 185 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

No XML sitemap at https://www.harshwal.com/sitemap, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

7 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

Open Graph is missing og:title and og:description, so shared links fall back to guesses.

The homepage links to 79 pages on harshwal.com and 22 external pages.

robots.txt blocks Google-Extended and Applebot-Extended, which collect pages to train models. That's a legitimate choice and doesn't by itself stop the site appearing in AI answers, which the crawlers above handle.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 60 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

3 images failed to load on a phone, for example https://www.harshwal.com/images/Preloader_1.gif.

11 of 43 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).

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

http://harshwal.com does not redirect to https, so some visitors land on the insecure version.

1 link to other sites is dead, for example https://apps.apple.com/us/app/hcllp/id1546714108 (404).

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

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

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

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

Opening https://harshwal.com goes through 2 redirects before the homepage loads.

1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://g.page/r/CQHA45sYE1OPEAI/review.

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.

harshwal.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.

Your longest form asks for 11 fields (0 required). Every extra field lowers completion.

Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.

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 1,346 words of visible text.

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 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.

Opening the homepage sets 4 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

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.

Loading the homepage contacts 9 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
