Speed

8 to fix61
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.7 s · 353 KiB

    About 353 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.7 s faster on a phone.

  • 6 third-party services on the page

    6 third-party services load with your homepage (Wix, Google Tag Manager and Sentry and others), adding 1.6 MB and 1.4 s of main-thread time.

  • Wix adds 898 ms

    898 ms

    Wix costs a phone 898 ms of main-thread work and 1.0 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.

  • Mobile performance score: 61

    61/100

    Your mobile performance score is 61. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Render-blocking requests

    900 ms

    1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 900 ms.

  • Main-thread work: 4.0 s

    A phone's processor spends 4.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    300 ms · 65 KiB

    4 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (65 KiB).

  • 2,110 HTML elements

    The page has 2,110 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • 11 long tasks on the main thread

    11 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 223 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 21 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 21 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    55 KiB

    About 55 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    25 KiB

    25 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

  • 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: 19 ms

    19 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 19 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

7 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: 13.3 s

  • Time to Interactive: 13.3 s

    13.3 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 13.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Real-user LCP: 3.2 s

    3.2 s

    Real visitors wait 3.2 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 395 ms

    395 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 395 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.5 s

    2.5 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 3.6 s

    3.6 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 3.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +2%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 106 ms to 108 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    +8%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.3 s to 1.4 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

5 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 106 ms

    106 ms

    Real visitors wait 106 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

  • Real-user TTFB: 313 ms

    313 ms

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 2.2 MB in 195 requests

    2.2 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.2 MB in 195 requests on a phone: scripts 1.4 MB (88), other files 629 KiB (83) and HTML 153 KiB (1). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.63 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.63 g of CO₂e: 76.1 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

2 to fixGoogle 9295
  • 15 tap targets too small

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

  • 5 text elements with low contrast

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

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 63 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 40 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 42 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 40 passed and 2 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 8578
  • No meta description

    No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • Title is short (15 characters)

    Your title is only 15 characters: “Internet Brands”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image (also missing: og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 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.

  • 132 internal links, 6 external

    The homepage links to 132 pages on internetbrands.com and 6 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Explore Our Verticals”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.internetbrands.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: LocalBusiness 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://www.internetbrands.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix83
  • Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, sameAs (social profiles) and description. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

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.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://www.internetbrands.com/llms.txt (4 KiB, 3 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

3 to fix83
  • 2 linked pages hidden from search

    https://www.internetbrands.com/privacy and https://www.internetbrands.com/ibterms are marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If they are meant to be found, remove the noindex.

  • 12 pages without a meta description

    https://www.internetbrands.com/ib-platform, https://www.internetbrands.com/health-care-professionals, https://www.internetbrands.com/health-care-direct-to-consumer, https://www.internetbrands.com/provider-payer-services, https://www.internetbrands.com/dental and https://www.internetbrands.com/legal and 6 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 9 pages without an H1

    https://www.internetbrands.com/ib-platform, https://www.internetbrands.com/health-care-professionals, https://www.internetbrands.com/health-care-direct-to-consumer, https://www.internetbrands.com/dental, https://www.internetbrands.com/auto-home-travel and https://www.internetbrands.com/contact-us and 3 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 3 pages with very little text

    https://www.internetbrands.com/provider-payer-services, https://www.internetbrands.com/auto-home-travel and https://www.internetbrands.com/news 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.

  • 12 internal pages checked

    We fetched 12 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

4 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 12 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has a title

    All 12 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 10087
  • 21 small tap targets

    21 of 33 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “globalThis.defineStrictProperty is not a function”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 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.

  • No social proof

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

  • Only about 144 words

    The homepage has only about 144 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • 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.

5 checks passed
  • 6 calls to action

    The homepage has 6 calls to action, for example “Contact Us” and “[email protected]”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 0 phone links and 2 email links.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage.

  • LocalBusiness structured data

    Your homepage describes the business with LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants can read its address, hours and phone reliably.

Privacy and tracking

  • 2 trackers load before any consent

    2

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (OneTrust) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 11 cookies set on arrival

    11

    Opening the homepage sets 11 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 11 other companies contacted

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

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: OneTrust

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

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 internetbrands.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
