Speed

7 to fix56
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    8.1 s · 2.3 MB

    114 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (2.3 MB).

  • Render-blocking requests

    5.3 s

    56 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 5.3 s.

  • Improve image delivery

    3.9 s · 1.0 MB

    14 images could be 1.0 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.9 s faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.4 s · 393 KiB

    About 393 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.4 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 56

    56/100

    Your mobile performance score is 56. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    750 ms · 137 KiB

    About 137 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google Maps adds 115 ms

    115 ms

    Google Maps costs a phone 115 ms of main-thread work and 394 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 third-party services on the page

    5 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Maps, Google Tag Manager and cdn-cookieyes.com and others), adding 688 KiB and 230 ms of main-thread time.

  • 3 long tasks on the main thread

    3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 137 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    22 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 22 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: 1.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 595 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 21 ms

    21 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 21 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix67
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 13.7 s

    13.7 s

    Your largest element takes 13.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “The Leading End-to-End SaaS Solution Enabling Brands to Off…”.

  • First Contentful Paint: 6.1 s

    6.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 6.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 12.0 s

    12.0 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 12.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 15.0 s

    15.0 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 15.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • 20 images without width and height

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

  • Not enough real-visitor data yet

    Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

2 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.002

    0.002

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.002, good is under 0.1).

  • Total Blocking Time: 44 ms

    44 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 44 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

4 to fix48
  • 9 images far larger than shown

    637 KiB

    9 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example klean_kanteen-1.png at 1,920 px wide, shown at 320 px. Resized copies would save about 637 KiB.

  • Page weight: 2.7 MB in 138 requests

    2.7 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.7 MB in 138 requests on a phone: images 1.4 MB (24), scripts 933 KiB (53) and stylesheets 240 KiB (50). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 10 images in older formats

    10 images (1.1 MB) 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.

  • 4 images below the first screen load straight away

    4 images further down the page (403 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.76 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.76 g of CO₂e: 91.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

8 to fixGoogle 9391
  • 1 text element with low contrast

    1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (2 elements)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Banner landmark should not be contained in another landmark (1 element)

    Banner landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Contentinfo landmark should not be contained in another landmark (1 element)

    Contentinfo landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Document should not have more than one banner landmark (1 element)

    Document should not have more than one banner landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark (1 element)

    Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 1 link without text

    1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.

  • Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (1 element)

    Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 28 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 49 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 41 passed and 8 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 8598
  • 3 links with vague text

    3 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

  • 56 internal links, 7 external

    The homepage links to 56 pages on jtbcustom.com and 7 external pages.

8 checks passed
  • Meta description: 157 characters

    Your meta description is 157 characters: “VU Custom is the leading SaaS platform helping brands streamline and scale product customization with powerful tools fo…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Product Customization And Visualization Software”.

  • Title: 59 characters

    Your title is a healthy 59 characters: “VU Custom | Enabling brands to offer customization at scale”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://vucustom.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, ImageObject, Organization, 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://vucustom.com/sitemap_index.xml.

AI search readiness

100
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: 4 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (510 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://vucustom.com/llms.txt (3 KiB, 11 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

5 to fix74
  • 2 linked pages hidden from search

    https://vucustom.com/2026/06 and https://vucustom.com/2025/09 are marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If they are meant to be found, remove the noindex.

  • 3 pages share a title

    https://vucustom.com/setup, https://vucustom.com/about and https://vucustom.com/team all use the title “VU Custom - Enabling brands to offer customized products”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 4 pages without a meta description

    https://vucustom.com/2026/06, https://vucustom.com/author/nohemi-cortes, https://vucustom.com/category/news and https://vucustom.com/2025/09 have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 3 pages share a meta description

    https://vucustom.com/setup, https://vucustom.com/about and https://vucustom.com/team use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 11 pages without an H1

    https://vucustom.com/case-studies, https://vucustom.com/about, https://vucustom.com/team, https://vucustom.com/careers, https://vucustom.com/latest-news and https://vucustom.com/book-a-demo and 5 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 3 pages with very little text

    https://vucustom.com/case-studies, https://vucustom.com/latest-news and https://vucustom.com/book-a-demo 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.

  • 8 pages slow to respond

    https://vucustom.com/case-studies, https://vucustom.com/setup, https://vucustom.com/about, https://vucustom.com/team, https://vucustom.com/careers and https://vucustom.com/latest-news and 2 others took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 19 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

3 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    14 pages of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Every page has a title

    All 14 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Content and conversion

1 to fix90
  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 11 customer or partner logos. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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 484 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 484 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: “Book a Demo”.

  • 5 calls to action

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and HubSpot.

  • Direct contact links

Privacy and tracking

  • 2 trackers load before any consent

    2

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Tag Manager and HubSpot (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (CookieYes) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 1 cookie set on arrival

    1

    Opening the homepage sets 1 cookie (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 8 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 8 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: CookieYes

    A consent management tool (CookieYes) loads with the page.
