Speed
YouTube adds 2.8 s
2.8 sYouTube costs a phone 2.8 s of main-thread work and 4.7 MB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.4 s · 1.4 MB120 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.4 MB).
Calendly adds 1.3 s
1.3 sCalendly costs a phone 1.3 s of main-thread work and 2.8 MB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
Render-blocking requests
1.4 s18 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.
Main-thread work: 12.7 s
A phone's processor spends 12.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 7.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Mobile performance score: 22
22/100Your mobile performance score is 22 (desktop: 38). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (YouTube, Calendly and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 9.2 MB and 5.6 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
920 ms · 4.4 MBAbout 4.4 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 920 ms faster on a phone.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 1.6 s. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Google Tag Manager adds 975 ms
975 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 975 ms of main-thread work and 811 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.
Facebook adds 269 ms
269 msFacebook costs a phone 269 ms of main-thread work and 210 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.
Font display
250 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 250 ms).
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 96 KiBAbout 96 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Legacy JavaScript
23 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 23 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.
Minify CSS
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Largest Contentful Paint: 5.0 s
5.0 sYour largest element takes 5.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Introducing Kando’s Solution: A comprehensive wastewater in…”. Most of its time is element render delay (3.1 s).

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.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 10.4 MB in 245 requests
10.4 MBYour homepage downloads 10.4 MB in 245 requests on a phone: scripts 7.8 MB (116), stylesheets 1.6 MB (31) and fonts 468 KiB (14). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 2.9 g of CO₂ per visit

Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
12 tap targets too small
12 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
6 text elements with low contrast
6 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Links look like plain text
1 link inside paragraphs relies on colour alone to stand out.

45 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 51 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 6 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO

43 internal links, 12 external
The homepage links to 43 pages on kando.eco and 12 external pages.

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://www.kando.eco/sitemap_index.xml.
AI search readiness
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 https://www.kando.eco/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 (794 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 linked page is broken
Your homepage links to https://www.kando.eco/www.kando.eco/solution, which answers with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop it.
2 pages share a title
https://www.kando.eco/contact-kando-wastewater-intelligence-solutions and https://www.kando.eco/contact-us all use the title “Contact Us Kando”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
8 pages without a meta description
https://www.kando.eco/people, https://www.kando.eco/clients, https://www.kando.eco/partners, https://www.kando.eco/blog, https://www.kando.eco/media and https://www.kando.eco/events and 2 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
2 pages share a meta description
https://www.kando.eco/contact-kando-wastewater-intelligence-solutions and https://www.kando.eco/contact-us use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
1 link to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example https://www.kando.eco/contact-us, whose canonical is https://www.kando.eco/contact-kando-wastewater-intelligence-solutions. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
2 pages without an H1
https://www.kando.eco/about-kando-wastewater-intelligence-company and https://www.kando.eco/people have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
2 pages with very little text
https://www.kando.eco/contact-kando-wastewater-intelligence-solutions and https://www.kando.eco/contact-us 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.
