Speed

10 to fix59
  • Improve image delivery

    1.7 s · 958 KiB

    8 images could be 958 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.7 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    2.5 s

    11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.5 s.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    600 ms · 571 KiB

    About 571 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 59

    59/100

    Your mobile performance score is 59. 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, Optanon and JSDelivr CDN and others), adding 1.0 MB and 729 ms of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    600 ms · 135 KiB

    About 135 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    300 ms · 305 KiB

    22 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (305 KiB).

  • Google Tag Manager adds 410 ms

    410 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 410 ms of main-thread work and 535 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.

  • Main-thread work: 3.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 1,795 HTML elements

    The page has 1,795 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 38 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 38 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 4 long tasks on the main thread

    4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 176 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 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: 6 ms

    6 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 6 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

8 to fix100
  • 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: 12.2 s

    12.2 s

    Your largest element takes 12.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Jellyfish data hub”.

  • Time to Interactive: 16.2 s

    16.2 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 16.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 3.2 s

    3.2 s

    The first text or image appears after 3.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.9 s

    1.9 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.9 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 42 images without width and height

    42 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • Speed Index: 4.6 s

    4.6 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 4.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.144

    0.144

    The layout shifts by 0.144 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • Tap response (INP) got 16% slower for real visitors

    +16%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 123 ms to 143 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 19% slower for real visitors

    +19%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.2 s to 2.6 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

5 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 2.2 s

    2.2 s

    Real visitors wait 2.2 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 154 ms

    154 ms

    Real visitors wait 154 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.09

    0.09

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.09 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user TTFB: 738 ms

    738 ms

    Real visitors wait 738 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Total Blocking Time: 157 ms

    157 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 157 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

4 to fix33
  • Page weight: 4.1 MB in 171 requests

    4.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.1 MB in 171 requests on a phone: images 2.5 MB (82), scripts 1.3 MB (44) and fonts 162 KiB (7). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 9 images far larger than shown

    1.1 MB

    9 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example Uli-Abend.png at 612 px wide, shown at 48 px. Resized copies would save about 1.1 MB.

  • 11 images below the first screen load straight away

    11 images further down the page (1.2 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • 3 images in older formats

    3 images (592 KiB) are JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.

  • About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.17 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.17 g of CO₂e: 140.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

4 to fix84
  • 25 images without alt text

    25 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • 53 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 6 links without text

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

  • Elements with role="dialog" or role="alertdialog" do not have accessible names.

    Elements with role="dialog" or role="alertdialog" do not have accessible names. (1 element).

  • Headings skip levels

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

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 8598
  • 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.

  • 165 internal links, 13 external

    The homepage links to 165 pages on jellyfish.co and 13 external pages.

8 checks passed
  • Meta description: 156 characters

    Your meta description is 156 characters: “Jellyfish is the intelligence platform for AI-Integrated engineering, helping R&D teams understand impact, adopt best p…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “See how your people and agents really build software”.

  • Title: 53 characters

    Your title is a healthy 53 characters: “Jellyfish: Software Engineering Intelligence Platform”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://jellyfish.co/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, ImageObject, 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.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://jellyfish.co/sitemap_index.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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 /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 (1,837 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 2 pages without a meta description

    /solutions/engineering-product-operations/team-workflow-analysis and /solutions/engineering-product-operations/people-management have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 70 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 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 an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Uncaught TypeError: Failed to execute 'observe' on 'MutationObserver': parameter 1 is not of type 'Node'.”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    14 of 16 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

2 to fix88
  • 1 broken external link

    1 link to other sites is dead, for example https://academy.jellyfish.co/app (404).

  • No Content-Security-Policy

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

  • No Permissions-Policy

    No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

  • Deprecated X-XSS-Protection

    X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.

  • No security.txt

    There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

6 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (jellyfish.co).

  • Valid certificate (51 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YR2 verifies for jellyfish.co and is valid for another 51 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

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

  • HSTS enabled

    Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://jellyfish.co redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2

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

Domain and trust

1 checks passed
  • Certificate issuers are restricted

    CAA records allow only amazon.com, digicert.com, letsencrypt.org and pki.goog to issue certificates for jellyfish.co, so a mis-issued certificate from anyone else is refused.

Content and conversion

1 to fix90
  • No direct contact details

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

  • No form on the homepage

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

  • 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 967 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 967 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Request a Demo”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

Email authentication

95
  • Email authentication score: 95/100

    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.

3 checks passed
  • DMARC policy: reject

    DMARC tells receivers to reject mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.

  • SPF in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com include:amazonses.com include:_spf.psm.knowbe4.com include:mktomail.com include:_spf.sal…”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “google”, “k1” and “s1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

  • 5 trackers load before any consent

    5

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, LinkedIn Insight and Reddit Pixel (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.
