One score from every part of this review. How it works

Live view · interaction off

Speed

3 to fix66
  • Mobile performance score: 66

    66/100

    Your mobile performance score is 66. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    450 ms · 75 KiB

    About 75 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • 1,912 HTML elements

    The page has 1,912 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    138 KiB

    About 138 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • 3 long tasks on the main thread

    3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 91 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Improve image delivery

    60 KiB

    7 images could be 60 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • 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.

  • Minify JavaScript

    4 KiB

    4 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 3 third-party services on the page

    3 third-party services load with your homepage (VWO, Google Fonts and jQuery CDN), adding 33 KiB and 0 ms of main-thread time.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.1 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 191 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 64 ms

    64 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 64 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

7 to fix50
  • 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: 5.7 s

    5.7 s

    Your largest element takes 5.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Hazelcast lets you build real-time apps that react instantl…”. Most of its time is element render delay (2.4 s).

  • First Contentful Paint: 4.2 s

    4.2 s

    The first text or image appears after 4.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user LCP: 2.8 s

    2.8 s

    Real visitors wait 2.8 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user FCP: 2.1 s

    2.1 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.1 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 5.7 s

    5.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 5.7 s

    5.7 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 5.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +2%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 172 ms to 188 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

4 checks passed
  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

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

    -20%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.9 s to 3.1 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

  • Total Blocking Time: 4 ms

    4 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 4 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

100
  • 1 image below the first screen load straight away

    1 image further down the page (31 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 0.2 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.25 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.25 g of CO₂e: 29.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • Page weight: 889 KiB in 63 requests

    889 KiB

    Your homepage downloads 889 KiB in 63 requests on a phone: fonts 234 KiB (4), images 229 KiB (41) and scripts 223 KiB (14). That is a lean page.

  • 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

5 to fixGoogle 9092
  • Required ARIA attributes must be provided (6 elements)

    Required ARIA attributes must be provided: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • [role="img"] and [role="image"] elements must have alternative text (24 elements)

    [role="img"] and [role="image"] elements must have alternative text: 24 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 3 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 37 links without text

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

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h3 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 75 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 45 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 50 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 5 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 9295
  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 7 links with vague text

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

  • 146 internal links, 16 external

    The homepage links to 146 pages on hazelcast.com and 16 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 140 characters

    Your meta description is 140 characters: “Take instant action on your streaming data by combining stream processing and an ultra-fast data store in one unified p…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Build Faster, Scale Seamlessly”.

  • Title: 62 characters

    Your title is a healthy 62 characters: “Hazelcast | Unified Real-Time Data Platform for Instant Action”.

  • Canonical URL set

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: 4 of 6 facts

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

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (941 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (14 KiB, 86 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 15 pages without a meta description

    /products, /products/management-center, /get-started, /pricing, /demo-request and /services/support and 9 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 15 pages without an H1

    /products, /products/management-center, /get-started, /pricing, /demo-request and /services/support and 9 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 8 pages slow to respond

    /products, /products/management-center, /pricing, /services/support, /use-cases/apache-kafka-and-hazelcast and /use-cases and 2 others took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 68 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

1 to fix94
  • No Content-Security-Policy

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

  • 1 link through redirect chains

    1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://slack.hazelcast.com/.

  • Deprecated X-XSS-Protection

7 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

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

  • Valid certificate (75 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for hazelcast.com and is valid for another 75 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

    X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.

  • HSTS enabled

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://hazelcast.com redirects to the secure version.

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

  • All 53 links work

    All 53 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 13 external) answered without errors; 2 did not answer within 5 s.

Domain and trust

  • DNSSEC is off

    hazelcast.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 18 years old

    18 years

    hazelcast.com was registered in Feb 2008 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Certificate issuers are restricted

    CAA records allow only digicert.com, comodoca.com, pki.goog and ssl.com to issue certificates for hazelcast.com, so a mis-issued certificate from anyone else is refused.

    hazelcast.com is registered until Feb 2027.

Content and conversion

2 to fix75
  • No social proof

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

95
