Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.9 s · 367 KiBAbout 367 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.9 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.4 s · 319 KiB77 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (319 KiB).
Render-blocking requests
1.6 s21 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.6 s.
Mobile performance score: 71
71/100Your mobile performance score is 71. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Improve image delivery
300 ms · 424 KiB14 images could be 424 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Minify JavaScript
300 ms · 42 KiB42 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
4 third-party services on the page
4 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Usercentrics CMP and New Relic and others), adding 1.0 MB and 232 ms of main-thread time.
imagekit.io adds 0 ms
0 msimagekit.io costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 679 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.
2 long tasks on the main thread
2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 98 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
14 KiBAbout 14 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
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: 1.4 s
A phone's processor spends 1.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 607 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 64 ms

First Contentful Paint: 2.0 s
2.0 sThe first text or image appears after 2.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

0.49 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.49 g of CO₂e: 58.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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://bibleproject.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
No llms.txt
There is no https://bibleproject.com/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.
3 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 (165 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 linked page hidden from search
https://bibleproject.com/collections is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.
2 pages share a title
https://bibleproject.com/ko and https://bibleproject.com/zh-hans all use the title “BibleProject”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
4 pages without an H1
https://bibleproject.com/collections, https://bibleproject.com/articles, https://bibleproject.com/bible/nasb/genesis/1 and https://bibleproject.com/de have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
3 pages with very little text
https://bibleproject.com/guides, https://bibleproject.com/pt-br and https://bibleproject.com/de 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.
1 page slow to respond
https://bibleproject.com/de took over 3 s to send its HTML from our server.
15 internal pages checked

Tap targets are thumb-sized
7 of 7 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

The page declares a mobile viewport.
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.
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
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.
Only about 165 words
The homepage has only about 165 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
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.
1 checks passed
2 calls to action
The homepage has 2 calls to action, for example “Start the Series” and “Learn More”.
Privacy and tracking
1 tracker load before any consent
1Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Tag Manager (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (Usercentrics) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.
3 cookies set on arrival
3Opening the homepage sets 3 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
9 other companies contacted
