hive.com website review

The page has 3,499 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (framerusercontent.com, Google Tag Manager and framer.com and others), adding 1.2 MB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.

framerusercontent.com costs a phone 917 ms of main-thread work and 900 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.

Your mobile performance score is 77 (desktop: 95). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

A phone's processor spends 3.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

About 200 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 139 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

About 27 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

3 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (16 KiB).

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.

The first text or image appears after 3.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Your largest element takes 4.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Ai dashboard insight widget”.

The page becomes fully interactive after 6.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 3.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.8 s to 1.7 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.38 g of CO₂e: 46.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 70 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

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

There are 6 <h1> headlines (“Automate everything.”, “Automate everything.” and “5+ hrs”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

The homepage links to 147 pages on hive.com and 48 external pages.

/features has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

/features and /project-management-software 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.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 43 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

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.

1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://help.hive.com/en/articles/1527962-kanban-board-i-e-status-view.

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.

hive.com 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.

hive.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.

Social proof on the homepage: 5 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

The homepage carries about 843 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 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.

Opening the homepage sets 3 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 11 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
