Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.0 s · 4.9 MB61 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (4.9 MB).
Render-blocking requests
2.3 s19 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.3 s.
Mobile performance score: 79
79/100Your mobile performance score is 79. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Hubspot and Google CDN and others), adding 1.5 MB and 556 ms of main-thread time.
Font display
700 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 700 ms).
Reduce unused JavaScript
627 KiBAbout 627 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Google Tag Manager adds 332 ms
332 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 332 ms of main-thread work and 581 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.
Hubspot adds 209 ms
209 msHubspot costs a phone 209 ms of main-thread work and 604 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.
Google Fonts adds 1 ms
1 msGoogle Fonts costs a phone 1 ms of main-thread work and 300 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.
6 long tasks on the main thread
6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 134 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
52 KiBAbout 52 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Improve image delivery
12 KiB2 images could be 12 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Legacy JavaScript
11 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 11 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 1.7 s
A phone's processor spends 1.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 723 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 203 ms
203 msYour server sent the HTML in 203 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Speed Index: 16.7 s
16.7 sVisually, the page fills in at 16.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Time to Interactive: 20.9 s
20.9 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 20.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
First Contentful Paint: 2.4 s
2.4 sThe first text or image appears after 2.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 3.2 s
3.2 sYour largest element takes 3.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “IGNITE brings physical and financial trading, risk, P&L, lo…”. Most of its time is element render delay (7.2 s).
8 images without width and height
8 images 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.
2 checks passed
Total Blocking Time: 110 ms
110 msScripts block the page for only 110 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.015
0.015The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.015, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 5.8 MB in 103 requests
5.8 MBYour homepage downloads 5.8 MB in 103 requests on a phone: media 2.5 MB (2), scripts 1.5 MB (21) and fonts 1.3 MB (13). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 1.7 g of CO₂ per visit
1.65 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.65 g of CO₂e: 198.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
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
Invalid ARIA attributes
2 elements use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.
1 button without a name
1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
Links look like plain text
2 links inside paragraphs rely on colour alone to stand out.
1 text element with low contrast
1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
6 images without alt text
6 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Headings should not be empty (6 elements)
Headings should not be empty: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h5, h2 → h5 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
42 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: 42 passed and 8 failed. 6 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
1 link crawlers can't follow
1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.
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.
17 internal links, 3 external
The homepage links to 17 pages on ignite-etrm.com and 3 external pages.
7 checks passed
Meta description: 141 characters
Your meta description is 141 characters: “ETRM & CTRM SaaS software designed for performance! Boost your trading with speed & technology advantages. Ideal for st…”.
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “IGNITE, Fueling the Power to Trade™”.
Title: 38 characters
Your title is a healthy 38 characters: “CTRM Software | ETRM Software | IGNITE”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://ignite-etrm.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, WebPage and WebSite.
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://ignite-etrm.com/sitemap_index.xml.
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://ignite-etrm.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.
2 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.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,825 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
2 pages share a title
https://ignite-etrm.com/contact-us and https://ignite-etrm.com/contact all use the title “Contact Us | Energy Trading | IGNITE”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
2 pages share a meta description
https://ignite-etrm.com/contact-us and https://ignite-etrm.com/contact use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
1 link to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example https://ignite-etrm.com/contact, whose canonical is https://ignite-etrm.com/contact-us. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
10 pages without an H1
https://ignite-etrm.com/resources, https://ignite-etrm.com/resources/blogs, https://ignite-etrm.com/resources/pr, https://ignite-etrm.com/resources/casestudies, https://ignite-etrm.com/resources/factsheets and https://ignite-etrm.com/resources/industry-insights and 4 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
4 pages slow to respond
https://ignite-etrm.com/industries-3, https://ignite-etrm.com/resources, https://ignite-etrm.com/resources/blogs and https://ignite-etrm.com/resources/pr took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

Best practices
1 JavaScript error while loading

Missing source maps
Large scripts ship without source maps.
2 checks passed
Tap targets are thumb-sized
5 of 6 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
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.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 84 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
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 1,304 words of copy
The homepage carries about 1,304 words of visible text.
4 checks passed
1 call to action
The homepage has 1 call to action, for example “Contact us”.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and HubSpot.
Direct contact links
Visitors can reach you directly: 2 phone links and 3 email links.
Phone number on the homepage
Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.
Privacy and tracking
3 trackers load before any consent
3Before 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.
7 cookies set on arrival
7Opening the homepage sets 7 cookies, 2 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.
14 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 14 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 ignite-etrm.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
