jellyfish.co does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Improve image delivery
1.7 s · 958 KiB8 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 s11 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 KiBAbout 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
59/100Your 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 KiBAbout 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 KiB22 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (305 KiB).
Google Tag Manager adds 410 ms
410 msGoogle 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 KiBPolyfills 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.

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.

Real-user FCP: 1.9 s
1.9 sReal 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 sVisually, the page fills in at 4.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.144
0.144The layout shifts by 0.144 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.1 MB in 171 requests
4.1 MBYour 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 MB9 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 gBy 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
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 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.

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
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.
