Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.9 s · 542 KiBAbout 542 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.9 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.8 s3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.8 s.
3,849 HTML elements
The page has 3,849 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Reduce unused CSS
900 ms · 196 KiBAbout 196 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 57
57/100Your mobile performance score is 57. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
650 ms · 137 KiB12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (137 KiB).
6 third-party services on the page
6 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, webless.ai and Optanon and others), adding 776 KiB and 566 ms of main-thread time.
webless.ai adds 196 ms
196 mswebless.ai costs a phone 196 ms of main-thread work and 321 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.
5 long tasks on the main thread
5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 207 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
9 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 9 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, 629 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 57 ms
57 msYour server sent the HTML in 57 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
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.

4.0 sReal visitors wait 4.0 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.
Real-user FCP: 3.7 s
3.7 sReal visitors see the first content after 3.7 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
Real-user TTFB: 3.1 s
3.1 sReal visitors wait 3.1 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
Largest Contentful Paint: 9.8 s
9.8 sYour largest element takes 9.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “This site uses cookies and similar tools, some of which are…”.
Time to Interactive: 9.9 s
9.9 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 9.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 6.1 s
6.1 sVisually, the page fills in at 6.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
First Contentful Paint: 2.9 s
2.9 sThe first text or image appears after 2.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Total Blocking Time: 352 ms
352 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 352 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
2 images without width and height
2 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
-5%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 120 ms to 114 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
About 0.4 g of CO₂ per visit
0.41 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.41 g of CO₂e: 48.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
4 checks passed
Page weight: 1.4 MB in 63 requests
1.4 MBYour homepage downloads 1.4 MB in 63 requests on a phone: scripts 1.0 MB (7), stylesheets 161 KiB (1) and fonts 79 KiB (3). That is a lean page.
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
1 button without a name
1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
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.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 153 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
41 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 43 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 41 passed and 2 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Meta description is long (171 characters)
Your meta description is 171 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
5 links with vague text
5 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
386 internal links, 42 external
The homepage links to 386 pages on intersystems.com and 42 external pages.
7 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Make your data AI-ready faster”.
Title: 62 characters
Your title is a healthy 62 characters: “Data Management & Healthcare Information Systems| InterSystems”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.intersystems.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: Corporation, WebPage and WebSite.
Open Graph tags complete
Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.

AI search readiness
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: 6 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (3,159 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://www.intersystems.com/llms.txt (5 KiB, 33 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
3 pages without a meta description
https://www.intersystems.com/success-stories, https://www.intersystems.com/partners and https://www.intersystems.com/news have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
14 pages without an H1
https://www.intersystems.com/products, https://www.intersystems.com/industries, https://www.intersystems.com/solutions/use-cases, https://www.intersystems.com/success-stories, https://www.intersystems.com/solutions and https://www.intersystems.com/resources and 8 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
8 pages slow to respond
https://www.intersystems.com/success-stories, https://www.intersystems.com/knowledge-hub/certification-program, https://www.intersystems.com/knowledge-hub, https://www.intersystems.com/partners/partner-programs, https://www.intersystems.com/healthcare-startups and https://www.intersystems.com/partners and 2 others took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

2 checks passed
No console errors

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: 1 trust badge. 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 map or directions link

2 cookies set on arrival
2Opening the homepage sets 2 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
9 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 9 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
1 checks passed
