Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.7 s · 498 KiBAbout 498 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.7 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
2.0 s8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.0 s.
Mobile performance score: 51
51/100Your mobile performance score is 51. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused CSS
600 ms · 114 KiBAbout 114 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
550 ms · 91 KiB16 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (91 KiB).
Improve image delivery
400 ms · 132 KiB3 images could be 132 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 400 ms faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, website-files.com and Hotjar and others), adding 1.1 MB and 406 ms of main-thread time.
Google Tag Manager adds 136 ms
136 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 136 ms of main-thread work and 478 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.
website-files.com adds 77 ms
77 mswebsite-files.com costs a phone 77 ms of main-thread work and 415 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.
Minify JavaScript
150 ms · 15 KiB15 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
5 long tasks on the main thread
5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 84 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
10 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 10 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.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 1.1 s
A phone's processor spends 1.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 548 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 2 ms

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.
Largest Contentful Paint: 14.2 s
14.2 sYour largest element takes 14.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Golden Gate Bridge hand drawn image”.
Time to Interactive: 14.2 s
14.2 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 14.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.335
0.335The layout shifts by 0.335 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
First Contentful Paint: 3.3 s
3.3 sThe first text or image appears after 3.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Real-user LCP: 2.7 s

Real-user FCP: 2.8 s
2.8 sReal visitors see the first content after 2.8 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

Speed Index: 3.8 s
3.8 sVisually, the page fills in at 3.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
5 images without width and height

Total Blocking Time: 68 ms
68 msScripts block the page for only 68 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
67f0293247eaf82539476d80_df2c5b5a61b2cddeb16b669505a07037_He is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
2 images in older formats
2 images (154 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 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit
0.54 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.54 g of CO₂e: 64.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Page weight: 1.9 MB in 120 requests
1.9 MBYour homepage downloads 1.9 MB in 120 requests on a phone: scripts 1.0 MB (42), fonts 526 KiB (29) and images 187 KiB (12). That is a lean page.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
2 tap targets too small
2 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
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.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 6 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
39 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 41 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 39 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.

7 internal links, 27 external
The homepage links to 7 pages on joinodf.com and 27 external pages.
8 checks passed

Structured data in place
Structured data found: Organization.
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://main.joinodf.com/sitemap.xml.
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: 5 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles) and description; contact details would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (296 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://joinodf.com/llms.txt (2 KiB, 0 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
2 pages share a title
https://joinodf.com/companies and https://joinodf.com/top-companies-2025 all use the title “ODF Companies Directory”. 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://joinodf.com/companies and https://joinodf.com/top-companies-2025 use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
2 pages with very little text
https://joinodf.com/companies and https://joinodf.com/top-companies-2025 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.
